Ivory House

I came here one Friday night to celebrate a birthday. They have nice date night ambiance, but it's not a super formal place. You can be tastefully casual. The live piano music was a great addition to the vibe. My lady is a steak person and I'm a seafood person. She liked her filet and mashed potatoes, and was pleased with the wine selection.. zero complaints from her. The crab cakes were an excellent starter; the crab was good quality and the accompaniments all added to it.. nothing on the plate was boring.. 9/10 plate for me. The frutti di mare was also an excellent dish; the sauce was incredible and all of the seafood was super fresh, especially by Ohio standards. I'd eat that dish any day. We got complementary dessert for the bday. They had 10 flavors of gelato to choose from, and the 3 we tried we tried were pretty decent.. nothing crazy. Overall, it was a great experience. Service was great.. s/o to our server Nikky. It was an all-around top-notch.l experiecne and I have no doubt we'll be back.

We celebrated our anniversary at Ivory House, and the entire experience was outstanding. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. Our waitress, Elise, made the evening truly exceptional—she was informative, professional, and genuinely kind. It was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Cincinnati.

We got the crab cakes, tuna, seabass, filet minon, and Caesar salad! It was all delicious!!! The seabass, crab cakes, and Caesar salad were my faves!!! Had a delicious cinnamon roll for my birthday dessert! This spot is a treat!

Great food! We ordered the tomato bruschetta as a starter and it was excellent! I personally ordered the pork chop special and I must say I believe it was the best pork chop I have ever had! It was tender, moist, and flavorful! All of our meals were outstanding!

Celebrate anniversary here. Food are fresh and yum!!! Best pork chop I had.

My son and I tried the Tomahawk Tuesday Special. Absolutely incredible! The Caesar Salad was by far the best I’ve ever had in my life. The steak was cooked perfectly. Our sides was the mash potatoes and brussel sprouts. I’m blown away but the service. Can’t wait to try the seafood next.

I found the food to be amazing! I found the service to be insulting and disappointing. Our total cost was approximately $500+ not including gratuity, and when the manager visited our table, he asked if there was anything else he could do for us. My guest of honor requested more bread, and his response with a low volume slightly above a whisper with a cynical tone was “The first loaf is complimentary, but (gesturing with his thumb pointing upwards) the second loaf will be four dollars.” We said, “okay “ and he left. Now, to make a big deal out of four dollars as if we could not afford it after already sitting at $500.00 was strike one. However, charging for additional bread is unacceptable and not standard restaurant hospitality! Four dollars! Factor that into your overall cost. That is ridiculous! That was strike two! The third strike was we NEVER received it! We are not sure if he forgot or feared we could not pay after that insulting response. Sad. The food was amazing, but the lack of customer service was daunting. He was the manager! His example of leadership is poor. Sad.

We had a birthday party and the service and cuisine were of the highest order. Every detail of our evening was superb thanks to the thoughtful staff. Our compliments to the chef for creating each incredible dish they served us including Crab cakes, steak, sea bass, shrimp and tuna.

The neighborhood is... rough. Bring a bodyguard and maybe a bazooka if you want to feel truly secure. But once you step inside, it's a completely different world. The place has great energy--feels like it was retrofitted from an old bank or something, but they nailed the design. Classy, comfortable, and capped off with live piano music that really sets the mood. The staff was fantastic... friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely on point. My buddy and I ordered old fashioneds and were shocked to find them filled with multiple ice cubes. Anyone who knows cocktails knows you only need one big cube. ONE. I switched to straight bourbon after that, and when I ordered it, they asked if I wanted it neat or on the rocks--with an option for "one big cube." So they had them! They just chose violence on the old fashioneds. Strange move, but I digress. I got the ribeye, my buddy got the filet. Both came out great... my ribeye was slightly over, but we're talking minor nitpicking here. The garlic shrimp add-on was solid, and both ladies had fish dishes that they absolutely loved--one got the sea bass and basically licked her plate, the other had tuna over noodles and raved about it. All in all, it was a great date night spot. I'll probably stick to the wine list next time instead of their signature drinks... but the food and atmosphere definitely make it worth a return trip.

After all this time Ivory House still delivers and is on point with their food. Crab cakes- absolutely delicious. Chilean sea bass was amazing. Happy hour drinks and appetizers make your visit budget friendly. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and drink specials. Keep up the good work I.H

Walking into Ivory House, I expected a nice dinner. What I didn't expect was an experience so moving that I left feeling as though I had been part of something extraordinary. From the very first bite, it was clear that this was more than just a meal - it was a journey. The Caesar Deviled Eggs were a playful, elegant twist on comfort, while the Crab Cakes were so delicately prepared that each bite melted with flavor. Then came the warm sea salt rosemary bread, paired with house-made butter - simple, yet so perfectly executed that it set the tone for the evening: thoughtful, intentional, and crafted with love. But nothing could have prepared me for the main course: the Frutti de Mare. A dish so soulful, so harmoniously balanced, that I quite literally almost cried when I finished the last bite. No. Really. I was moved to sadness and almost drew tears. The freshness of the seafood, the depth of the sauce, the way each component sang together - it was as though the chef had poured heart and artistry into every detail. It wasn't just food; it was emotion on a plate. The service was also phenomenal. Our server and the host were incredibly attentive with every detail, elevating the entire evening and making us feel truly cared for. Thank you Elise, seriously, from the bottom of my heart. Dining at Ivory House felt like more than a night out - it felt like being reminded of how beautiful life can be when flavors, atmosphere, and hospitality align so perfectly. This wasn't just dinner; it was a memory I will treasure. If you are looking for more than a meal - if you are looking for an experience that stays with you long after you have left - Ivory House is that rare gem.

I'm a sucker for a good scallop, and Ivory House did not disappoint! R had a magnificent cut of salmon with a giant tower of asparagus (not pictured). We finished the evening with a truly decadent triple chocolate mousse cake. Exceptional service as always. Five stars! Get yourself over to the Westwood neighborhood of Cincinnati; thank me later.

We came here for our second time last night, but this time brought friends. Both times we've come have been absolutely delightful! Our server last night was super sweet, attentive and knowledgeable. The food was all incredible and we got the mussels with the server's recommendation and let me tell you, she did not steer us wrong! Our order: Starters: aforementioned mussels + blue fin tuna Salad: wedge Mains: lamb lollipops with tomatoe cuc salad, hummus and naan + tomahawk steak (came with 2 sides and we got scalloped potatoes and Brussels) + Chilean sea bass with asparagus and mashed potatoes I was already full by the time the entrees came out but managed to try a bit of everything- the Chilean sea bass was my fave! The only complaint I heard at the table was that the Brussels were "too peppery", but I quite enjoyed them! It's definitely not somewhere we can come regularly because the price point is high, but worth it for special occasions and celebrating with friends!!!! The ambiance is great too- I love the glass table dividers and overall lighting!

First time dining here and although a little pricey, the food and service were amazing. Nice to have a fine dining option on the west side.

Looking for steakhouse that's above average in the area? No, it's not Carlo & Johnny, nor Eddie Merlot's. It's Ivory House. Of the three choices, Ivory House surpasses in just about every way, from decor to ambience to service to food, it outshines them all. Decor/ambiance: eclectic, fun, unstuffy. The pianist was fantastic! Service: amazing! Elise was truly wonderful and genuine. Did a great job, especially of noticing things i.e. in the kitchen brought out croutons on a salad when they weren't supposed to or an iced tea not getting filled; she was even able to tell which of the two drinks I had I preferred more! She seems like someone everyone would want to hang out with! Food: Ivory House delivered a near perfect meal from start to finish. Appetizers - shrimp cocktail, bruschetta, and hummus were all beautifully plated and had great detail, like a charred lemon with the shrimp. The cocktail sauce tasted housemaid, and there was a nice zing to the hummus. Would have been nice to have the option of getting vegetables with hummus instead of pita... It wasn't on the menu, but I have a feeling if we asked, they would've made it happen. Salad - Caesar salad was perfect, everything in it was the correct amount. I enjoyed the pickled onions! Mains & Sides - my husband's steak came with most beautifully ginormous pad of garlic herb butter on it. The one bite of it I had was melty heaven. His brussels sprouts had good flavor, though he was disappointed in the amount of asparagus he received. My duck confit was so well balanced, I would be happy to order it again and again. Though I would've liked a few more beets on the plate, the flavor of the parsnip purée with the berry gastique was chef's kiss. It was like elevated Thanksgiving comfort food. Dessert - The seasonal cheesecake, salted caramel, looked decadent and delightful, and also like it could be shared between 2 to 3 people. I ordered two of the gelato/sorbet flavors, the strawberry lemon I could've done without, it needed more lemon, but the lemon basil was a sleeper hit! Sounds weird, I know right? I think it would be perfectly refreshing at the end of a meal, particularly in the warmer months. Oh and they had GLUTEN FREEE BREAD FOR THE TABLE! I have never seen a restaurant actually have a gluten-free offering for this! All in all, Ivory House is a classy but low key restaurant that is worth the drive!

This place is gem on the west side of town. The decor is beautiful. There is a piano player the songs are wonderful. The service was impeccable and food amazing. I ordered the scallops with pasta. Seven scallops that were huge. The pasta cooked perfectly. Also ordered the lemon drop martini. Perfect sweetness My friend ordered the prime rib special which she loved. I will return to the ivory house in the near future

I've only been twice to Ivory House last year. The food & service were superb with lovely ambiance. The second time was seated in a quieter area but close enough to hear the pianist. The first time we were seated too close to other tables some of which were only separated by a thin partition but at least it was a considerate effort. I really dislike being seated so close to another table ... especially when it's a larger group. I would love to catch one of their happy hours BUT one must be seated in the bar area which is tiny. Like maybe a dozen seated there at most.

Wow what a great restaurant and steak house. Enjoyed the wine and Tomahawk Ribeye. Located in downtown Westwood almost across from the old Westwood City Hall, this was a surprise find This place reminds me of the Precinct in its earlier years when someone stuck a steakhouse in a unique building in an out of the way location. The Ivory house, like the early days of the Precinct serves great steaks, a good vibe, eclectic people with a killer wine list. I keep hearing Westwood is a on the move and the place to be. This restaurant helps explains why.

If you see the name "Ivory House" and think of exotic war movies, this might be the restaurant for you. If you think of colonialism and dead elephants, do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere. From the outside, the building looks like it used to be a funeral home. What might have been the casket drop-off was apparently closed off from the outside and later converted to a Covid-friendly outdoor dining area, making me wonder how the food gets to the diners outside. Whatever the answer, I wished that my group had chosen to eat out there because the inside of the restaurant was uncomfortably hot. Perhaps it is too early in the year for them to turn on the air conditioning? But the weather is how it is today - almost 80 degrees - and everyone was sweating. The inside feels dark to me. The decor is fine, though I don't understand why reviews even mention it. Our section had "beams" that clearly hid air ducts, and a recessed drop ceiling. The west side has nicer architecture in the average house. Our group was split: the meat-eaters loved their food; the fish eaters were grossed out. The fish and shrimp were themselves fine, but the grits were gross: sweet and weirdly smooth. I would *not* recommend the French onion soup.

Ivory House is my favorite west side secret. The food and ambiance here are top notch! They have daily specials, Wednesday is my favorite (salad, filet mignon, 2 sides and cinnamon roll for $50). The customer service is impeccable. My go to is the filet, Mac and cheese and Brussels! You can NEVER go wrong with that! The pork chop is a close second. Never leave this place without dessert! The warm cinnamon roll and ice cream is the perfect end cap, even if you have to take it to go!

We visited Ivory House for the first time Happy Hour. The food, service and the bartender were the best. The Happy Hour menu is a great deal. They even sent a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommend!!

This is white tablecloth steakhouse in Westwood (Cincy). The hostess quickly sat us at our table, we did have a reservation. Our waitress, Elisa came & greeted us & got our drink order. Bar service was quick (2-3 minutes). Elisa took our order & answering any question we had. Then she brought us the house made warm rosemary bread with butter. It was absolutely delicious. We ordered the NY strip (medium) with asparagus & fingerling potatoes & the tomahawk pork chop with whipped potatoes & elote creamed corn. The NY strip was cooked perfect with an awesome seared flavor. The fingerling potatoes were very tasty & grilled. The asparagus was tender & cooked to perfection. The tomahawk pork chop was amazing. It was tender, juicy & full of flavor. It was seated on top of the whipped potatoes & drizzled with a cherry sauce. The elote creamed corn was unique & tasty. It had sweet cornbread crumbles in it which put a unique spin on the standard elote corn. We were too full for dessert, although I would have loved to try their carrot cake, considering they have a house pastry chef. The restaurant was busy but noise level was low with talking. It was elegant & a nice place for a date or special occasion. There was a baby grand piano but no musician to play it, they did have an automatic player on it. I'm assuming there must be live music of some days, there was a tip jar on top the piano.

Pricey but the food was excellent. The server was attentive but not bothersome. The place was clean, with live instrumental piano music. Great place to splurge on yourself or impress someone special.

Heard some good reviews on this place and decided to check them out. The interior of the restaurant's classy and nice. A good place for date night. First off, we were served with bread. The waitress mentioned that it's freshly baked by their in-house pastry chef. As someone who chooses her carbs, I'm not really a fan of bread but they said it's sea salt bread so I got to try it! I'm totally in love! It's soft and warm with a hint of salt! Super appetizing! It leaves you craving for more! Side note: they do charge you $4 extra for extra bread... so that really a bummer I got the filet mignon with lobster tail, and I actually love their lobster tail more. I can taste the hint of sweetness from the lobster. Dipping it in butter just makes it tastier and juicy! Love it! The filet, on the other hand, was disappointing. Feel tougher than the other filets I had. We even got a complementary cinnamon roll with ice cream to end the night!

We were here on a Thursday night, parking is easy, and they have a parking lot. When we walked in, no people at the reception desk, so we waited a little bit. Finally got the girl to lead us to our reserved table. The inside decor is modern and nice, ambience is inviting. We got to learn that Thursday night is the prime rib night. So we decided to try it. Wow, the portion is huge, i never seen restaurant serve such big meat portion. It's is very tasty and well seasoned. The side dish is also very well cooked and tastes excellent. My only complaint is the steak knife, it's sooo dull and eventually i give up eating the steak. The dessert is really nice! Love the place but i hope they can upgrade their steak knives!

3rd time here and tonight was a big disappointment. No wagyu for the Sunday special. Would have been nice if they told us that via our reservation reminder. We sat at our table and watched a guy in the kitchen eating with his fingers. Not very appetizing. Substituted NY Strip for wagyu which was not good at all. My husband's steak was 30% gristle and inedible. My steak was fine but nothing better than I could have cooked myself on the grill with a steak from Kroger. The manager didn't even offer to comp a dessert or part of our meal.

What a fantastic place! My husband had seafood and I had beef. Both were prepared perfectly and tasted great. Tad pricey but well worth it. We loved the atmosphere particularly the piano player. We will go back again and again.

We went as a double date with friends during restaurant week. The restaurant was busy on a Wednesday night. All of us ordered from the restaurant week menu. 4 caesar salads, 2 pork loin, 2 filets, 4 mashed potatoes, and a couple of different remaining sides. The salads were good. The croutons were cornbread so that was an interesting surprise. The pork loin was underwhelming and not very flavorful. We would not order it again. The filet was good as well, but nothing special. Some of my carrots were cooked and some were still very crunchy. My husband ordered the elote corn side and only took a couple bites. The mashed potatoes had a sweet taste to them. Desserts were good but very sweet as well. All around a very sweet menu. Service was good other than my husband having an entire sprite spilled on him. That made him uncomfortable for the whole dinner and less enjoyable for us all around. I was underwhelmed by how the manager handled the situation. Our server handled it quite well though and was quick about trying to make it better.

I went to brunch on a Sunday with girlfriends and we will be back! It was an upscale environment and service was great. $5 mimosas were wonderful as well. The favorite dishes on the table were the egg bennys: the crab cake benedict and the florentine benedict. The omelet was a big hit as well. It is a perfect classy brunch and it was easy to make reservations. We celebrated a birthday and they brought us a complementary cinnamon roll. It was topped with bananas foster ice cream. So good! I also recommend the French press coffee.

Drinks were very good, food was OK but not what you would expect for the price. The biggest complaint was they would not except a gift card, which was the reason for the visit.

We went here for dinner on Sept 14th and it was so good. The server was so friendly, there was live piano player providing a nice ambiance, and the food was amazing. I was thinking the restaurant would just be Westwood's attempt at fine dining, but the Ivory House is a truly fantastic dining experience.

Excellent food, impeccable service, great atmosphere. It is a little pricey but worth every penny! I highly recommend this place!

This was the absolute highlight of our trip to Cincinnati. We booked a reservation in advance to Ivory House because we wanted to take our friend out to a nice brunch, signifying the end of her bachelorette weekend. Ivory House did not disappoint - from the food to the service to the atmosphere. We began with a round of bread pudding French toast, and let me tell you, it was divine. A lovely soft interior with a caramelized exterior - the gelato was rich but honestly, it was totally appropriate. It would have made a nice dessert, too! This was good for the table to share because I think it may be too rich for someone for a full meal. Don't get me wrong, it was excellent. Most of us opted for a Cassoulet for our main meal. I had the Southwest Cassoulet and it was excellent. All of the flavors - from the steak to the aioli, peppers and onions, potatoes and egg - created a true symphony of flavors on my tongue. And the steak was cooked to perfection. I wish I could eat it every day for breakfast! I also wish Ivory House was by me in NJ. I will definitely make it a point to come here whenever I am in the area. A fabulous gem of a steakhouse!

Definitely make reservations. Check the website, certain nights have dinner specials. Parking is in the back in a lot. Once you go inside it's so elegant. There was a a little ve piano player who can take tips so definitely bring some cash. The lighting, decor and tables were elegant but not "stuffy". A wonderful date place or if you want to enjoy the vibes sitting at the small bar area is also a vibe.

Service was very good. Had the Tomahawk special plenty got two and delish. Blistered carrots so good. I wish they would turn the piano sound down a couple notches. It is too loud for conversation at the bar.

The food was great, the service was great and the but price was good, But, it's not at the Ruby level for being an experience. When I'm paying top dollar for a meal, I want the experience to memorable. We'll go back, but for the food.

It is time to celebrate my son's birthday. He suggested Ivory house. Looking at the menu, this place was too expensive. It was Cincinnati Restaurant week, my son noted there will be a discounted menu, so we tried it. The Cincinnati Restaurant Week menu was reasonable. The place was nice. They gave us our own room for 10 (we only had 5 people). It was nice for us 5. We had a salmon appetizer that was top shelf. I usually don't order appetizers, but my son wanted one on his birthday, so we all enjoyed. Everyone but me ordered the Caesar salad, and I missed out. The house salad was dry, but everyone thought the Caesar salad was the bomb. They added anchovies. My son was being healthy and had the salmon with his wife. My grandson had the filet minion, My wife and I had the pork chop. They were all excellent. The pork chop was so tender. When it came to dessert, my son got the carrot cake, while the rest of us got the chocolate mousse cake. This was disappointing. The Chocolate mousse cake was a small amount of chocolate mousse with dry cake on the side. I should have gotten the carrot cake.

What a gem in the heart of the Westside! My husband and I went for brunch and we're not disappointed. The decor is very nice, swanky you might even say. The piano was a lovely touch especially having live music! The service was great, our server was very friendly, even with her other large groups she was taking care of. The manager and other servers were quick to jump in and help, and the water service was much appreciated. We started with mimosas which happened to be the $5 deal that week which made us very happy. I had the avocado toast which is, I believe the best I have ever had, and my husband had the French toast which was also fantastic albeit way too much to finish for us together. We would love to come back to try their dinner service. Highly recommend!

I'm so glad I finally got to try this place. It was so good! The service was top notch and the food was even better! The live piano playing in the background made it very relaxing. The design of the dining room was cool as well.

Very nice ambiance. Great good. Drinks, apps, steaks, desserts! All top notch. Loved they had parking. I sat next to the pianist and that was very enjoyable to have set the mood for a lovely evening!

Service was impeccable. Prime rib was over cooked per order. Atmosphere was above par .We will be returning soon.

Finally got to try brunch at Ivory House and it did not disappoint. It was my birthday and they brought out a complimentary cinnamon roll and it was so nice! Great ambiance perfect for a girls brunch

I don't travel over to Westwood, I have no reason to. Probably why it's taken so long to try Ivory House. I was shocked at how charming the inside was and how good the food was. My steak meal at brunch (Werk Castle Feast) was very good. It was $30 but the value wasn't really there, I would be surprised if that was even 3 oz of steak. The steak was cooked perfect to medium as requested, fingerling potatoes were so yum. There was a sauce on the plate I'm guessing for the steak but the steak was so good, I didn't need it (the sauce was pretty good though). I saved the small salad for last but it was surprisingly tasty with some type of vinaigrette. Everyone at the table enjoyed the pancakes and bread pudding French toast. The Town Hall Omelette was delightfully delicious (I snuck a few bites). My only complaint was the price point for the Werk Castle steak meal but cost never stops me if the food and service are good. I think $20-$22 vs $30 makes more sense to me, not even sure what type of steak I was eating. I'm planning to return, lots of things I want to try on the brunch menu.

I apologize in advance that I don't have photos to back up my review, but I decided to keep my phone in the car! We went with friends for restaurant week and I'm so glad we did! The restaurant has an great vibe and how the tables were arranged was perfect. We were seated in an area with two four tops, so it was quiet and made it easy to have wonderful conversations. Two of us had the Tomahawk Pork Chop and two had the Filet. All of our sides were carrots, broccolini, fingerling potatoes and elote creamed corn were perfectly grilled and charred!! The only slight issue was the Caesar salad. Nothing major, just the lettuce was hard to eat and we wished it had another type mixed in. I've seen Ivory House reviews on many platforms and everyone was right! Come see for yourself! You won't be disappointed! I promise to take pictures when we all come back for brunch in May!!!

Our first time experience here was amazing! Our waiter, Fernando was the best... as was the outstanding food and service! We enjoyed the seared scallops (HIGHLY RECOMMEND), and the bone-in Ribeye! Bar area with piano was such a great addition. The decor is so upscale! A true gem. We will be back!

If you're looking for a new favorite steakhouse, look no further than Ivory House! My fiancé and I were searching for a new restaurant to enjoy for my birthday this year. In passing, he mentioned seeing a billboard he drove past on I-71, praising Ivory House as the "Best New Restaurant in Cincy." We decided to give it a shot, and we're so thankful we did! We started with a great wine recommendation from our server (can't remember the name of the bottle but she was very knowledgeable of the offerings based on our taste preferences). For appetizers, we ordered the Crab Cakes, which were flaky and flavorful, and the Tomato Plate, which was refreshing and balanced. For entrees, I ordered the filet mignon, black & bleu. My steak was perfectly cooked to my request, and the taste rivaled any other big steakhouse in town. My fiancé also ordered a filet, with a side of bacon-wrapped scallops. These were tender and smoky ... a perfect addition! As a birthday dessert, we ordered the seasonal creme brûlée. In December, it's chai-flavored and a must-order. You won't regret checking out Ivory House ... perfect for a birthday, anniversary, date night, or Wednesday night! It was also reasonably priced for a steakhouse, but there are definitely opportunities to treat yourself.

When I first heard that there was going to be fine dining establishment opening in the Westside of Cincinnati, I followed its' progress with great anticipation. After Ivory House did open, I anxiously awaited a special occasion that would warrant my patronizing this establishment. That occasion finally came about celebrating my Mother's Birthday. Because of already being aware of what the up and coming restaurant's exterior renovation looked like, I anxiously awaited to see what the interior looked like. Upon walking in Ivory House the first time to celebrate my Mother's Birthday, the first impression was not what was anticipated. The first thing noticed was the lack of ambiance: The restaurant was too brightly lit. Bar tables too close to the entry. Piano too load, and music selection should have been more conducive to dining; all that was played was jazz. Noise level too loud to allow for an ambient dining experience; even making it somewhat difficult to hold a conversation with the table party, and server. SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT!!!!!! We started our pre-meal with beverage and appetizer service, consistently of wine, and a cocktail; both the wine and cocktail were delicious, as ordered. The ordered appetizers were crab cakes, tomato bruschetta, and pimento bruschetta. The crab cakes were good, the pimento bruschetta was very tasty but the tomato bruschetta was lacking in taste. Entrees that we order were: Shrimp and Grits. Waygu Burger.

We had a fantastic dinner at Ivory House for our first visit. The staff were so friendly, attentive, and helpful! Our food was delicious from the appetizers all the way through to dessert. You almost had to roll us out of there because we couldn't stop enjoying every last bite! It was a great way to enjoy birthday celebrations and a delicious dinner! We will be back!

The service was excellent!!! The food was out of this world, every item we ordered was delicious!!! The crab cakes are divine, I also loved the Tomahawk Pork Chop! The decor was beautiful and the pianist was enjoyable!!! I will be back to enjoy more!! I also love that it is in my neighborhood!!

Food was amazing! Fresh seafood and was nice sized. Big shrimp, big scallops. Seasoned well! Service was great, attentive and polite. They even stayed open later to accommodate our party who was oblivious to them closing at 10. Ambiance was upscale, live piano, dim lights, nice and clean inside.

Beautiful restaurant, delicious food and attentive staff. I took my mom and aunt for their birthday lunch and we sat outside. They had fans going and it's covered so no issues with heat. The staff was really fantastic and chatty and offering suggestions. The food was really delicious and there were lots of items I would like to try in the future for other visits. I love seeing such a really great unique restaurant oj the west side. Definitely will be back! We had the burger and sliders (both soooo good), the ahi tuna tacos were also amazing and shared the Brussels which weren't really a favorite but still ok. There is parking also!

Excellent food with a varied menu. Great service. Good atmosphere. Just be aware if you order any of the daily specials they will not let you use any discounts ie. Sweet deals, Cincy savers, etc

Wow. I have no idea why I have been waiting to go here for so long. Just got back from Sunday Brunch and everything was beyond great. The interior spaces are all fantastic, even leading up to the washrooms where you can take a peek down into the beautiful looking private / minimum buy room downstairs. Our table split: Bread Pudding French Toast Cinnamon Roll Gamble Sandwich Southwest Steak and Egg Cassoulet This is going to be dangerous, because there was so much more on the menu we wanted to try, but after having these, we can't imagine ordering anything else because of how tasty each item was. The steak on the cassoulet definitely will bring us back at night to try the dinner menu. Even the coffee!! Yum. But the greatest asset has got to be the staff. This review will sound like a plant from within, but I assure you I am just a normal restaurant goer. Our server Nikki is the favorite server I ever remember having from the first time. Perfect balance of attentiveness, knowledge, friendliness, and personality, and it almost seems rare to get service that great nowadays. It just stands out so well. But as our experience progressed, we noticed how friendly and team oriented the entire staff seem to be. Everyone seemed legitimately happy working there even when we left, you could tell the people at the bar and the front desk are genuine in their well wishes. It truly seems like a concerted effort has been made to have the perfect balance of choosing the right people on the team and giving them adequate training. We will definitely be back many times over.

We haven't had such a fantastic experience in a restaurant in so long, I forgot what it feels like. We were promptly seated by the hostess, and she was friendly. Our waitress was great and was very polite and attentive. I'll never get tired of having a refill for my drink set down in front of me before I have to ask. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and we enjoyed the decor. I was glad we were almost finished when they sat a couple at the table next to ours, because it is a little close and you're right in each other's conversation. I got the salmon bruschetta to start, and it was so good. Everything tasted so fresh, and the flavors blend beautifully. My girlfriend got the French onion soup, and that looked amazing. She said it tasted really good. We both ordered the filet mignon, and she wanted hers medium rare, and I wanted mine cooked medium. While both steaks were excellent, neither one was cooked as requested, and both were pretty rare. I'm going to let that slide, since everything else was so good. The smoked Gouda Mac and cheese is so damn good, I want the recipe. It's very creamy and delicious. The Brussels sprouts with bacon were excellent and I could eat a bowl of just that. We will definitely be back, and totally understand all the accolades now. Two thumbs up.

Went to Sunday Brunch with a friend. I arrived first, and did wait quite a few minutes before being greeted, and then another longer than expected wait to get my mimosa after ordering. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was fun, relaxed, with a little classy mixed in. I wish the bar was a bit quicker though... wait times for drinks was kind of annoying.

My daughter picked this place to celebrate her birthday and none of us had ever been and we weren't disappointed! First off the ambiance is perfect. They had a piano playing in the background, it wasn't too loud or too quiet I felt it was perfect. The food was top quality!! We received fresh Rosemary bread after we ordered and it was so good. Never had it before but it was amazing!! Me and my son-in-law got the the 14 oz New York Strip, my daughter got the 6 oz Filet and my husband got the Wagyu special they had. It was only 6 oz, hence why I got a bigger steak because I knew he would want more steak and could have mine. We had never had Wagyu but it was as good as the hype for sure! Everyone's steak was cooked perfectly the way they requested. You get 2 sides with your dinner and you could upgrade to a premium side. A salad couldn't be a side unless a big upcharge which I was disappointed in. We did get the Gouda Mac and Cheese for a side for the table and it was great! All the sides were good I just felt the Asparagus could have been a little better. My husbands special was a 3 course so he got a dessert which was a cinnamon roll with bananas foster gelato for dessert and it was great! They also gave my daughter a flight of 3 different ice creams for her birthday. We were so full from dinner we couldn't eat all the dessert but it was good! The server was good and attentive. We were there over 2 hours for a dinner which surprised us when we were leaving there was quite a bit of time between bread, salad, entree and dessert so I guess things took time but we were enjoying each others company so it didn't bother us. Would definitely go back for a special occasion but a bit pricy to go for a weekly date night in my opinion.

Once again, Ivory House nails it to perfection. We celebrated my father-in-law's 88th birthday this past Tuesday night. The restaurant was HOPPING. It was packed and on a Tuesday night? That's downright impressive. It took a bit of time for our server to get to us and get things going, which is completely understandable given how busy it was. But in the end, it did not matter. Our drinks were terrific they have a very good house wine selection, but their wine menu by the glass also offers excellent variety. But what really stood out? The food. It was out of this world. My father-in-law simply stated it was the best fish he's ever had in his life and he looks forward to coming back soon.
