Other published opinions
Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2009 Score: 14/20 "While the grill is its hearth, Ivy's Teppanyaki is much more than its name suggests. Dine in the dark, sexily lit restaurant at the communal table in front of the open kitchen or repair to the adjacent Ivy lounge with its New York-meets-Raffles feel"
Gourmet Traveller 2009 Australian Restaurant Guide "When the Ivy complex, the Star Wars Deathstar of the excess-all-areas lifestyle world, opened in 2008, the cocktail-friendly style of Japanese food practised at Establishment's Sushi E (see above) found a second home"
Sydney Morning Herald Simon Thomsen, 16-6-2008 "I'M SITTING in a large, opulent lounge chair, my face at roughly crotch level with a waitress in a kimono so short even Britney Spears would think twice about wearing it. I don't feel comfortable. So let me point out the elephant in the dining room. Teppanyaki's uniforms are sexist and the double standard is obvious. The restaurant's blokes dress in a more laissez-faire style: jeans and a black leather jacket, like a detective in an '80s cop show. The women, invariably young and lithe, are adorned with a geisha shtick that seems designed to appeal to the febrile imaginations of salarymen"
