The Ivy Inn Restaurant and Bar is the perfect place for a date night or celebratory dinner with your partner. Sit by the fireplace indoors and listen to the live piano player while you enjoy a meal of roasted rack of lamb or grilled veal chop served in a mushroom cognac cream sauce. During nice weather, sit out on the patio that is surrounded by greenery for privacy and dine on broiled Canadian salmon or the blackened Louisiana catfish served with a spicy tomato salsa. While the mood is intimate, children are welcome at the Ivy Inn and menu items for them include penne pasta with butter, three mini sliders or a pizzette.The Ivy Inn offers a global selection of both red and white wines. For those that are more adventurous, there are tasting options on the menu which present you with a sampling of three distinctly different wines.

We had a lovely dinner as always at Oceanos. Greeted warmly and seated in a cozy booth we immediately relaxed in the warmth and lively lie music and lighting. Our server was very attentive and brought us water, beautiful house baked warm bread and oil in short order. Special cocktails were followed by coconut shrimp appetizer. I loved my delicious miso glazed salmon and my hubs had a tasty halibut special over sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Delectable. My chocolate martini chaser accompanied these tasty Greek butter cookies. Was glad we had a few to take home for coffee the next morning. Such a perfect evening out! Thank you!
