I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
Igloo dining has increased in popularity over the past couple of years, but even more so in just this past year with everything going on in the world. While dining has changed in most places, the addition of igloos has been a welcome option to those who want a memorable night out in their own private space (and away from the crowds.) The Ivy Restaurant in Wheaton introduced igloo dining to its already-unique dining space a couple of years ago and now it’s back and awaiting your reservation!
The Ivy is housed in a former chapel that was built in the 1920s and is considered one of the best places to dine especially for those seeking something a little different. Its exceptional seasonal menu, wine and craft beer list, cocktails, desserts, and excellent service only add to the ambiance that this gem of a restaurant provides.
The interior of The Ivy is an impressive space with some remaining elements of the former chapel it's housed in. You may choose to dine in this lovely room with vaulted ceilings and stained glass.
Another dining option is the socially-distanced patio area that is covered by a heated outdoor tent. In this space, you will get the feeling of dining outdoors under the stars without being cold during the winter months. There is one more option for dining here at The Ivy, and that is The Ivy Igloo!
There is a minimum spend on top of the rental. For $300 for lunch and $400 for dinner, the cost can easily be split among the members of your party. Tax and tip are not included.
Experience a full-scale dinner with a bottle of champagne, wine, or cocktails, and enjoy conversation and quality time in your own private space.
Having your own space like an igloo at a restaurant is well worth it, especially for a celebration or special occasions like an anniversary or a milestone birthday.
