Ivy's Bohemia House - Chesterton

Cute spot in downtown Chesterton. They have a separate Vegan menu. I really enjoyed the vegan crab cakes with remoulade, green beans fries. Perfect portion. Non-vegan family had crab lobster ravioli gnocchi with pesto. They let us know they originally made cheese tortellini instead of the gnocchi we ordered and gave both dishes for leftovers. Very nice staff. Will be back! Updated from previous review on 2022-09-19

We ordered off of the vegan menu and stated we were vegan multiple times, and were brought gluten free food instead. She didn't realize her mistake until we were ordering entrees, after we had already eaten appetizers. She apparently didn't understand the difference between gluten free and vegan. We ended up just leaving because we couldn't trust any of the food at that point. All we got was a sorry, hope you don't get sick. Legitimately the most stressful and awful dining experience I've had in my life. Restaurants should not have a vegan menu if the staff doesn't know the difference between vegan and gluten free. Would highly recommend going to Tiger Lily Cafe instead if you're in the area! Updated from previous review on 2022-07-16

This place was phenomenal! We got the vegan spinach artichoke dip, bruschetta, and blt with avocado and we were just blown away. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for quality vegan food.

The staff were lovely, very accommodating and even the owner came out to chat when i mentioned i was looking for vegan desert options in their display offers good hearty meal options vegan, got the gnocchi marinara and it was delicious and obviously homemade gnocchi, with a filling portion size for a gnocchi dish! came with toasted bread, no butter! with garlic seasoning limited options for desert/bakery items but they had made a new batch of vegan cookies and were kind enough to offer me one on the house after i chatted with the owner about vegan baking i didn't try any but they do offer gF options as well

They were on a wait when we arrived. One waitress adeptly served all (we watched as we were waiting for our table in this small place). The food was delicious. We shared a crab cakes appetizer while my entree was Shepherd's pie and my husband had Cajunravioli. We also ordered a very reasonable Chianti. Excellent service and very reasonable prices. We'll be back when we're intown
