Hi friends & neighbors! It’s Jill, shown here in

Hi friends & neighbors! It’s Jill, shown here in my happy place eating a bushel of crabs last summer. An announcement: I’ve come to the hard decision to close to the public on Thursdays for the months of May and June only. We will use this time to rest, rejuvenate, and catch up on prep. Unfortunately, the staffing shortage in our town is real, and we are busier than we’ve ever been. We are SO grateful to be in business and thriving, but our staff also very much deserves a work-life balance - plus, we want to make sure we can keep up the quality and energy you’ve come to expect from us. Please know this Thursday closure will be temporary as we are trying hard to get fully-staffed, but will take effect this coming Thursday the 6th. We truly appreciate your support and understanding.

* If you have a tea reservation any Thursday over these next two months, we are absolutely happy to have you still. We are not cancelling on anyone, just pressing the pause button. We are also hosting our next wine dinner on Thursday, May 20th and are looking forward to it! *

Please direct any questions or concerns to jill@ivoryroadavl.com
We look forward to seeing you our other normal days of operation! Thank you 🙏
