Ivy Restaurant

Fantastic experience. When you walk in, you see all the beautiful stained glass and the fireplace in the middle. The food selection was great. There’s something for everyone. I had their meatloaf and it was honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. The service was also really good. Our server was very attentive and made sure our drinks were always good to go. I will be coming back!

Tried this restaurant on a Sunday Night with my husband. We started off with Whiskey Sour and a specialty mock tail. Both the drinks were awesome. For appetizer, we had burrata which was tasty. For mains, we had Ivy Meatloaf and Butternut Squash Ravioli which were delicious.

The server was super sweet, attentive and warm. The ambiance was chill. There is plenty of parking in the streets or you can park in the wheaton public garage.

I would definitely recommend this place! Must try!

There are many great things I can say about this restaurant. I actually chose this restaurant as a surprise location for my girlfriend and I to dine at. I saw this restaurant online and its description of "a restaurant that used to be a Catholic chapel." This sounded too good to pass up on. As we entered it definitely was well above my expectations and looking at my girlfriend, she was in awe of the beautiful restaurant (as was I). A very romantic and upscale setting, our waiter was very nice and patient. The food was fairly portioned and we both enjoyed our meals. We would definitely recommend this place for anniversaries and special events, or even if you want to check out a cool and unique restaurant. It's definitely worth checking out just for the setting alone. You won't be disappointed :)

The restaurant is beautiful. It’s located in an old church that they’ve taken great care of. The owner and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Food was 10/10.

Such an elegant atmosphere. High vaulted ceilings with cozy fire places and stained glass. Can’t miss with any of the food options very reasonably priced.

Get the beef carpaccio!

Family get together dinner, some had been here before and 3 of us it was are 1st time here. Very enjoyable dining. Owner stopped by table to introduce himself and see if we were enjoying the experience at his restaurant, very nice to see how he watched over everything. Very easy to read wine list and food menus as when you open them they light up. The atmosphere was very interesting as the building is an old church built in 1928 and converted to this restaurant. Stained glass, fireplace, vaulted ceiling, and ivy covered walls outside make this a very unique place. GREAT service, easy to carry on a conversation, many candles create a pleasant atmosphere. Will enjoy returning in the summer as they have outside dining too. If you want a pleasant dining experience, this is a place to try.

We had a family dinner at the Ivy for a party of over 20 people. They were able to accommodate us without having to book a separate room or to do an event and limited menu, with 48 hours notice, which was a plus. My grandmother was able to have the family dinner she wanted for her birthday.
The menus are very nice, as they are lit and make for easier reading. The selections were nice, and everything was reasonably priced. The restaurant has a very unique esthetic, which added to the experience.
Our party had a combination of items from the menu, including crab cakes, lamb chops, pasta, and, of course, the ribeye steak. Everyone was pleased with their selections' taste and portion size.
Lastly, their service was top tier. The staff took great care of our party, even including the kids. We were able to have a beautiful group photo to end the night. We will certainly be back, just as a smaller party to have a more intimate meal. I highly recommend giving Ivy a try. You won't be disappointed!

This is an awesome place to go to. I came by myself, and my host Tracy was so sweet, and then the owner Richard talked to me for a bit Bout the history of the building. The food ND drinks were incredible. I'll be back in September and planning on coming back xoxo pizza box girl :)

Excellent food and service!
The atmosphere was perfect for our dinner party. It has a rich feeling that is both romantic but also historic, the building is an old church and it has real Ivy on the outside.

The food was delicious. Multiple people at our table had the filet, it was very tasty. I had the Prime Rib, it was cooked perfectly and had a very tasty side of mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus.

Their service was excellent. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and on top of it. They did a great job paying attention to the food allergy at our table and even helped with suggesting alternatives for the apps. The bus’s boys cleared the table without being noticed and kept our area clean.

This place is 5/5!

My absolute favorite spot in downtown Wheaton! The food is incredible! I highly recommend the lamb paired with a red wine of your choosing. For dessert you can’t go wrong with an espresso martini paired with a moist and flavorful slice of carrot cake! Staff are always very kind and attentive. Thank you guys for a memorable evening of delicious food, excellent service and relaxing ambience.

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of downtown Wheaton. Nice food and service. The warm bread with house honey butter was exceptional!

Ambiance is the best in town. Service staff is attentive and professional. The honey sriracha brussel sprouts could be less dessert-like, but I could see how most people would prefer them that way. Top tier dining experience.

I recently attended an event called Ivy’s Tour de France. A 5 course meal served with 5 different French wines. Each wine was presented by their wine distributer who is actually from France and Ivy’s head chef presented each dish. To say this was fantastic is an understatement. Had a blast and will definitely attend more events like this in the future.

Ivy Restaurant delivered outstanding service (our waiter gave us amazing service - cheerful, helpful, informative- and we never felt rushed even though we spent almost two hours there), amazing treatment of their customers (the owner came by to speak with each table and made sure we were both comfortable and enjoying our food) a comfortable environment (on a cold evening they had heaters that were blowing warm air in their outdoor seating area which made it so comfortable to the point where we even took off our coats and sweaters), and honestly one of the best meals I've had!
My friend and I both ordered the fish special which came with a citrus butter sauce which was heavenly, and we both had an amazing jambalaya before the meal. We both ordered a slice of the strawberry cheesecake, which had a cinnamon graham cracker crust that came from the chef's grandmother's recipe and was honestly the best cheesecake I've ever had!

Such a beautifully restored restaurant. The food and service was wonderful. Highly recommend.

Everything was fantastic! Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. We had the shrimp and watermelon starter, my partner got the surfboard tomahawk steak, which was huge, I got the special seabass, which was to die for! We also got the key lime brulee, which was very tasty as well.
I was surprised how casual most people were dressed, and kids were dining.

We recently dined at Ivy. The food was exceptional. The environment was cozy and inviting. Hilary, the manager, gave us a warm welcome and the staff was very attentive making it a truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommend!

A pleasant experience from entering (valet service available) to leaving! A former funeral home chapel turned into a restaurant creates an unique and elegant ambiance. The menu includes a wide variety and the food does not disappoint. Everyone in our group enjoyed the grilled salmon and vegetables while the home made milk and honey ice cream with coffee complemented the well prepared entrees. The service was efficient and the food was on the table in an unbelievably short time.

Fantastic steak, beautiful dining setting, wonderful service!

We had a very nice dinner experience. It’s a busy place so making a reservation is a good idea. Our cocktails and wine were very good as well as the Burrata appetizer. We got the jambalaya, seafood pappardelle and crab cake dinner. All were good but my pasta was overcooked in my pappardelle and the crab cakes are very small, like appetizer sized. Our flourless chocolate cake, key lime pie and cappuccino were excellent! Shoutout to Didia for taking care of us so well. They have backlit menus which is a great feature, makes it so much easier to read the menu! Also, if you want to save 5%, bring cash as they tack on a 5% credit card fee.
