The last time I had been there I was 14 and it was for a school trip to Disneyland so I was definitely due for a visit! As much as I love wine we never had an opportunity to head up to Napa or Sonoma this time (that will be a trip all on it's own! 🍷). However, we definitely went to dine at some of the best known places in Los Angeles.

On my actual birthday we went to a place that I had been dying to try for a long time - The Ivy. This restaurant has two locations and we chose to go to the one in West Hollywood. It's known for its high-end American cuisine, country cottage decor, and the odd celebrity sighting (there were none there while we were dining, but it was only a Monday!)

Our entire time here was amazing. The food, the wine, the service, the decor - everything was perfect! I completely fell in love with the cottage look and would probably move in if they would let me :) I definitely understand why this is on a lot of people's to-do lists!

Softshell crab for dinner! 🦀🦀 I could've also eaten a pound of the creamed cauliflower that came with it 🤤

I even had to take a picture of the bathroom... 📷💋

If you are ever in LA, make sure to check this place out! Maybe you'll be luckier than me and see a celebrity dining out on the patio :)

Thanks for reading and following my travels! :):):)
