For a special evening by Tanya B. at InsiderPages

Ixia is very chic. The prices are high, but the experience is worth the cost. The service is first class. The macaroni and cheese with lobster is out of this world.

Ixia does a great job reflecting their modern American menu in their modern American decor (complete with a Warhol style painting of Jackie O!). The food was great, but the specialty cocktails were amazing.
