Ivins​の高級料理店

Party of four we had drinks, wedge salad and shared the “Basalt Experience“ which was an assortment of different steaks and sides. it was plenty of food for four, everything was delicious and we each had a different favorite. The atmosphere was luxurious and peaceful, the service was great, we had Tee as our server she was delightful.

Simply, the best. The restaurant is manned by the chef/ owner and one female waitress and they provide exceptional food and service. The menu is a bit of an issue because the courses aren’t delineated. Basically you are offered de a 4 or 5 course meal, consisting of your choice in salad and your choice in entrees and desserts. Then the chef offers you the specials which are the 4th or 5th course and, like all the other food, are homemade every day. As the chef is Italian, the cuisine is rooted in Italy. We started with Burrata Caprese. We’ve never tasted better! The buffala mozzarella was fresh and the tomatoes were delicious. Chef serves the tomatoes with a garlic and basil salad and the balsamic vinegar drizzle was straight out of Tuscany. Next came a delicious Caesar salad, followed by ravioli filled with lobster that I could have sworn was fresh from the water! Then pop I had a rack of lamb which the chef shows prior to cooking to illustrate the quality. The meat and fish are the best cuts available and PERFECTLY cooked with a crust that is to die for. We’ve truly never had better! Dessert was a molten hocolate lava cake and a creme brulee that were exquisite. The food is perfect, the chef and waitress are friendly and prompt and the ambience is classically upscale Italian. There’s a LOT of food, all of it made by the chef that day. There’s restaurant is expensive and WORTH EVERY PENNY AND CALORIE!!!!!!

Very lovely location. Not busy so we got lots of attention. Food good, desserts better! Nice evening to have good conversation with family since it was quiet and music not loud or obnoxious.
