Ivy & Jack

Lunch @IvyAndJack where the weekly theme was Brazillian and I chose the Brazilian Moqueca: Grilled fish with mixed capsicum cooked in coconut cream, infused with typical Brazilian oil, a side of beetroot crumb, and buttered banana. The fish has a lovely crispy skin, the flesh is super tender, and I love the beetroot crumb. Along with the banana and capsicum and the lovely sauce, this is a tasty lunch. #BrazilianFood #fish #beetrootcrumb #lunch #foodie #perthfood #northbridge @zomatoperth

Not impressed today. Firstly, there was no record of my booking, not a big deal as there was space. Three beers were on special on the little board but the one I asked for was sold out! My friend and I had the wagga burger that was dry, overcooked and fairly tasteless. When mentioned, we got the usual "I'll let the chef know". Not likely to visit again.

Stayed at Holiday Inn and we found Ivy and Jack very convinient place to dine in with the kids. Restaurant, Bar and Cafe all in one. We had our coffee fix with some yummy sweets for the kids too. I am not sure if it was a busy night but there were few empty tables, we had to wait for sometime before our sweets to be served and our hot drinks have gone cold, hubby had to order another one he finished his before the desserts have been served. I will still give it a good rating because of the friendly ambiance, location and yummy sweets.

Bar & restaurant inside the Holiday Inn. Visited on a Tue for dinner. It would benefit from table service as it has a pub atmosphere where you order at the bar. On arrival there’s a “wait to be seated” sign which is pointless as bar staff say you can sit anywhere. They have a sign outside with a picture of a cocktail advertising happy hour everyday 5pm-6pm but no cocktails were on special on tue. We arrived at 5pm. I asked 3 times for a dinner menu. Finally 3rd waiter said we weren’t allowed to see the menu til 530pm. I had grilled fish which was like rubber, the burger was acceptable if I was in a pub and the dessert looked great but was quite ordinary. By 630pm it was packed with office workers eating & drinking. They seem to have a lot of dining & drink offers. I’d go back if there was a 2 for 1 offer or cheaper cocktails but wouldn’t rush back. If you like pub grub you’ll like this place. The best thing about this place is the booth tables for 2
