The Ivey in LA

katiesept24 · April 2012

I have heard mixed reviews about this resturant. I know its expensive and the food isnt that good but that you can possibly run into famous people eating there. How expensive is it? Could you order drinks and dessert and get by?

If you do not suggestion going here what is another resturant you may see celebrities?

Also has anyone been to a taping of the Price is Right recently? I went right before Bob Barker retired and we had to sleep on the street to assure that we would get in. I wondered if the hype had dyed down some so we wouldnt have to waste as much time on this short trip?

You can see celebrities anywhere in LA. I've heard The Ivy is crap. Maybe try Joan's on Third instead.

I have seen celebs at Coral Tree cafe in Brentwod, not everytime I have been there, but 3 times out of 5.

Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel. You could do drinks and dessert there, but the drinks were $16ish when we there a few years ago, so it's not cheap.

MH had to do a business lunch there a year ago and he said it was lame all around.

Head out to Malibu and sit at Starbucks for 15 minutes. I used to see someone nearly every morning. Brad Pitt nearly hit me with his Range Rover in the parking lot. Eat lunch at John's Garden and sit outside by the playground.

I've never been to The Ivy, but if you want to go to that neighborhood, the Newsroom is a good option and there are celebs that go there as well. Also- there are some famous stores (Kitson, Lisa Kline) along there as well. So you could always "window shop" on Robertson and then go eat somewhere nearby.

The Grove is also a good place to celeb spot and it's right next to CBS where they tape The Price is Right. Not sure about getting in to TPIR, but I do believe that if you're not a group, you will need to get there pretty early.

I actually really like the Ivy and usually see celebrities when I am there. However, they usually sit the commoners away from the celebrities so they are hard to spot. There is a place somewhat across the street from the Ivy that has the best views of the Ivy making it easier to watch for and spot celebrities. News something, I think is what it is called. I would go there instead.

Newsroom Cafe? Big fat meh to the food there.

But I guess it would serve her celebrity-spotting purposes.
