Just stopped for lunch as we were traveling through the area, and it was such a treat! Loved everything about this place! We will definitely be back!

What an unexpected magical treat! I don't find myself in Easton often so didn't know what I was missing. I had a very tasty lunch in the courtyard, surrounded by whimsical carvings, sculptures and greenery and was transported to what must have been inside a nursery rhyme. The beet & goat cheese salad was amazing as was the white bean chili soup and coleslaw turkey sandwich. Staff interactions were lovely and they not only welcomed my dog to the courtyard, they brought him a bowl of water. There is an indoor dining room as well - decorated with beautiful original art but the courtyard is the place to be, weather permitting. I haven't stopped thinking about my visit and can't wait to come back.

We had a group of 10 that was looking for a place to meet and enjoy a meal and conversation. What a great choice the Ivy turned out to be. I came in the day before and explained what we wanted. When we arrived the next day tables were set up for us together in the corner. They let us order our meals as we arrived, but then brought them to us together. As usual the service and food was great. The seating was perfect allowing us to chat and enjoy each other's company comfortably.

The chicken noodle soup is excellent. A broth based soup that has depth. Get it. The goat cheese and beet salad was exceptional. Excellent cheese. The iced tea was good too.

Why doesn't The Ivy provide delivery through Uber Eats or DoorDash? Especially for Seniors? Everyone has the right to operate their business as they wish. There are a lot of Seniors at home wanting the wonderful food from The Ivy. Is it because the delivery companies take too much of a cut? Perhaps The Ivy could provide a Senior delivery service?

The Ivy is my family's go-to lunch spot. The salads are perfectly proportioned with fresh ingredients, and the soups and sandwiches always hit the spot. The Chicken Cobb with mustard tarragon vinaigrette is my therapist - it never fails. So grateful we have such a solid, delicious local spot with a beautiful courtyard and interior. The staff is awesome and always helpful too. <3

HIGH QUALITY FOOD ALERT: If your seeking low quality food, then don't come here. I have been here a few times and I will keep coming back. This place has the most fresh food I have had in a long time. I love the reuben sandwich and their salads. You will not be disappointed. Everything is always super fresh right down to the tomatoes. Soft sour dough bread. Very affordable and worth every single penny. They have an outdoor sitting area to eat which is simply beautiful. Young and very nice energetic staff. Simply the best overall. Thank you to the staff of the Ivy!!!!

Great little sandwich shop with outdoor dining. The Dumptruck is excellent. The lemonade has mint in it. A bit strong for my taste.
