- AAnthonyAtlanta •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMy experience at The Ives was exceptional from beginning to end. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and sophisticated, with a genuine sense of hospitality throughout the evening. The service was outstanding, with a knowledgeable, attentive, and personable team that made the entire experience feel effortless. The food was equally impressive. We enjoyed the crab dip, prime rib, Ives potato, and Baked Alaska, all beautifully prepared and delicious. What stood out most was the team's professionalism, attention to detail, and visible management presence. It's refreshing to dine somewhere that clearly takes pride in both its culinary execution and guest experience. The Ives delivers a memorable dining experience, and I look forward to returning. Highly recommended!More infoThe Ives$$$$• American• Downtown / Loop•4.4
