Private events at The Ivy
Robertson Blvd, Los Angeles
What kinds of events does The Ivy host?
Birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, baby showers, rehearsal dinners, corporate gatherings, and celebrations of every kind. For nearly half a century our rose-filled rooms and sun-drenched garden patios have been the backdrop for some of Los Angeles' most cherished moments.
What private event spaces does The Ivy on Robertson have?
Five distinct spaces, each with its own character: the Main Patio (about 360 sq ft — seats 45, up to 60 standing), the Side Patio (about 200 sq ft — seats 24, up to 35 standing), the Main Dining Room (about 470 sq ft — seats 48, up to 55 standing), the Upper Dining Room (about 285 sq ft — seats 36, up to 50 standing), and the Lounge (about 200 sq ft — seating up to 25).

The Main Dining Room and Upper Dining Room can be booked together, seating 84 guests or holding up to 105 for a standing reception. For anything larger, we offer full restaurant buyouts — please contact our events team.
What's the most intimate private space at The Ivy?
The Lounge is our most intimate space, seating up to 25.
Can event spaces at The Ivy be combined?
Yes. The Main Dining Room and Upper Dining Room are frequently booked together as a single space. The Side Patio is also available as a reception add-on to either the Main Patio or the Lounge — ideal for welcome drinks before a seated dinner.
Does The Ivy offer full restaurant buyouts?
We do. Mondays are especially well suited to a full buyout, when the restaurant can be given over entirely to your event. Buyouts are also available on other days depending on the season and the calendar.
What does a private event at The Ivy cost?
Every event is priced individually based on the space, the day, the time of service, and your menu. Please contact our events team and we'll put together pricing for your date.
Which days can I book a private event at The Ivy?
We host events seven days a week, across both lunch and dinner service. Mondays are reserved for full restaurant buyouts.
Does The Ivy handle flowers and décor?
Food, flowers, and heart have always been at the core of what we do. Our rooms come dressed in the signature Ivy style — roses, antiques, and warm California light — and our team is glad to work with you on anything beyond that.
How do I book a private event at The Ivy?
