Ink N Ivy

This restaurant is eye popping with beauty. I loved all the different areas and art. First time in Charlotte and I went here to meet with my sorority sister. We walked right in and sat at the bar. The food was good but the drinks were better! The mimosa carafe was small but it was worth it. The atmosphere was very chilled. Parking is a hassle and if you are new to the area read the signs, pay to park, and drive slow you could miss the place. It seems to be in a downtown type area on a one-way.

The atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for in a sports bar/restaurant. We had a group of four and we’re seated promptly on a Saturday around 7:30pm. There were several college football games on their myriad of TVs, which I liked! The drink specials were phenomenal. The fried mushrooms were delicious. I ordered the chicken sandwich, which I thought was average tasting. Other than that, I highly recommend this spot!

The reservation was highly recommended as a must go to while in uptown Charlotte. I expected it to be very expensive but I was please to see everything on the menu was very reasonably priced. I ordered the “poisoned Ivy” drink which was recommended my the waiter as a very popular choice. I didn’t really care too much for the taste of it … but because I’m not wasteful o did drink it all. For food I ordered Blackened Chicken Pasta Char-Grilled Chicken, Linguine, Blackened Cream Sauce, Tomato, Bacon, Scallion. I was very pleased especially because I love pasta ! The set up & design of the restaurant was very cool for pictures. I was told the back opens up to like a club like atmosphere so I have to come back to check that out. I would come back again & I do recommend.
