Scene
One of the trendiest restaurants and cocktail lounges in Boston is the Ivy Restaurant and its accompanying lounge the Cava Cocktail Lounge. With their sleek ambiance, strong cocktails, and refreshing dishes, Ivy Restaurant is a favorite among the Boston elite, who favor hip, chic restaurants. Diners can enjoy a drink and mingle with each other within The Cava Cocktail Lounge’s warm and cozy atmosphere before being seated in the main restaurant. Despite the alluring and elegant atmosphere, the Ivy is surprisingly affordable for all people. Boasting a fantastic collection of wine, the Ivy offers all bottles at a reasonable price of 26 dollars. Enjoy impeccable service, delicious and affordable cocktails and dishes, and an inviting atmosphere at one of Boston’s most talked about restaurants- Ivy.
Eats & Drinks
The Ivy serves traditional Italian cuisine with a modern twist. Dishes like the gnocchi with pulled braised duck combines handmade dumplings and a Chianti braised duck ragu to perfectly bring traditional Italian food into the 21st century. For lunch, Ivy offers delicious paninis like the Ivy bacon cheeseburger which features crispy pancetta, cheddar cheese and caramelized onions. Ivy’s famed wine list features a large selection of 26 dollar wine bottles. According to their philosophy, people should drink wine for its flavor, not for its price. The Ivy offers tasting tours of different wine regions like Italy, France, and the United States. Diners can indulge in glasses of specially selected wine that reflect the varying characteristics of each region.
Ambience
With a good mix of casual but chic décor, the ambiance at the Ivy and Cava Cocktail Lounge reflects the cozy and warm but still a bit edgy atmosphere. Chandeliers and open faced brick walls provide a feeling of tradition and elegance, while the clean, modern red seating adds a touch of contemporary sleekness to an otherwise common décor. Candles upon mini shelves add a form of alluring illumination that makes the Ivy an ideal location for romantic dates. The Cava Cocktail Lounge still maintains the clean, traditional sleekness of the Ivy, but with a more devilish edge. With sharper edged bricks, darker furniture, and a bamboo inspired bar, the Cava Cocktail Lounge lets diners engage with each other in a cozy and charming setting.

The grill-centric menu includes hot wings in a gorgonzola dressing, a chili-rubbed 12-ounce rib eye steak, chicken breast with garlic gravy, mashed potatoes & grilled zucchini, & corn on the cob.

I love this place. Quasi-gourmet food for pretty reasonable prices. The beef kabob is to die for. Drinks are strong!

not very veggie friendly \: but they're playing country music, so it almost feels like home.
