Ivy House Restaurant Williston, FL

The Ivy House Restaurant in Williston is in a very charming Victorian house.  

You just have to try the raspberry sweet tea or the raspberry lemonade. If you ask they will add some regular unsweetened tea to the raspberry to cut down on the sweetness. It is delicious, that is all I care to say.

The menu is southern-inspired. I love the fried green tomatoes. They are served with slightly spicy aioli and have the lightest, tastiest coating. Even though I know they are going to spoil my appetite, I have to have them.

The menu has lots of salads, sandwiches and full meals. The Krispy Chicken in a massive meal but just so darn good. I end up bringing more than half home but it tastes just as good warmed up. Al ordered the steak and it was cooked perfectly and served with a baked potato, small green salad, corn bread and yeasty roll. The Krispy chicken comes with veggies of the day, small salad, mac and cheese, yeasty roll and corn bread plus the delightfully crispy chicken which I assume uses Rice Krispies this the name Krispy Chicken.


On this last visit, we decided we needed to share the Praline Tulipe for dessert. It really is a dessert that needs to be shared. It is a praline cup with chocolate ganache, homemade praline ice cream, strawberries, whipped cream and sugared angel hair pasta sticking out of the top. It is very impressive, to say the least.
Our service was beyond good Even though our waitress had several tables of very demanding customers, she was a delight and we really enjoyed ourselves.


The prices here are very reasonable considering the size and quality of the meals. I am looking forward to trying dinner here but from what I gather it is not easy to get in since everyone knows how good the food is.
