Nestled in the heart of Downtown Wheaton, Illinois is an incredibly popular local restaurant, dubbed Ivy (more on the name later). The steaks are delicious and the seafood is delightful, but what really grabs patrons’ attention is the setting; the restaurant is located in a beautiful former chapel.
Ivy sits on one of the most quaint, lovely streets of Downtown Wheaton.
