Home Base: The Ivy

Which monument symbolizes America more than any other? The Statue of Liberty, of course. Which symbolizes Robertson? The Ivy restaurant.

The Ivy is an elegant proof of the US Weekly Restaurant Theorem, which states,

If US Weekly photo op = a,
Mediocre food = b, fab cocktails = c, star sighting = d
Then a = b + c + d = $71/person (lunch)

Understand that Nicole and Jessica don't patronize The Ivy every day - your star sighting may be more along the lines of a working actor. And while Leelee Sobieski was, in fact, seated within view of our table, you must be prepared to sit next to not a starlet, but a foursome of teen females.

Above-mentioned teen females will enviously eye your [legally] alcoholic beverage, while you covet their [real] LV bags. They invariably will mistake your mint julep for a mojito - but really, can you fault the nouveau riche?
