Ivory Tavern reviews
5 Star Review by Neville Fry
I had lunch here with my extended family while down in Tweed Heads. We wanted something nice but not budget breaking that we could take older family members to. The menu had a variety of options to suit our diverse group, at a good price point. All our meals were excellent and both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks were quite reasonably priced. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere with water views; we will be back when in Tweed Heads again.
2 Star Review by Jared Franzen
The kitchen here used to be good but I will not be eating here again. The steak sandwich had steak cut thinner than ham, chicken burger was barely digestible and the cheese looked like something from an American prank video. However it's a nice spot to look out on the water and sand flies.

We had lunch at the Ivory today. The food, atmosphere and staff all combined to make our outing a terrific experience. From the bar staff to the chefs, everyone was friendly and attentive. Congratulations on a brilliantly run hotel.
4 Star Review by Cheryl Long
Kylie( the early Kylie as there is two) was lovely. Excellent customer service. The meal was good, lamb shoulder roast. A lot of meat, rather like pulled pork style, and a small amount of veges. A good meal but meat and veg should be proportionate to the serving.
5 Star Review by Susan Austin
We can't believe we have been at Mantra Twin Towns for 5 days and only just found this place. I felt like fish & chips in a nice location & this has well & truly ticked all the boxes The Oysters natural were absolutely delicious & I consider myself a connoisseur in that Dept, having tried them Worldwide. Staff are lovely & friendly, atmosphere & seating very relaxed & comfortable! We will be back....10/10.

Always a lovely spot to catch up and watch the activity on the beautiful river. This time we both ordered the burgers. They were dry, overcooked and bland.

We had a wonderful Christmas lunch at the Ivory. The staff were super friendly, and the lunch was terrific. We had a lovely view from our table and, most of all, no fuss on Christmas. Highly recommended.
