After 21 remarkable years of serving the community, Iva Lee’s has come to the conclusion to close our doors on March 30th. We have had amazing customers, employees, and vendors throughout our journey and we cannot thank our customers enough for all the support we received and all the memories you shared with us.

We express immense gratitude for the unwavering support received throughout the years. We are immensely grateful to our patrons, whose unwavering loyalty has been the cornerstone of our success. It has been an honor to serve this community for over two decades and be a part of life's special moments.

The decision to close comes after much contemplation and consideration of various factors. Despite the challenges faced by the restaurant industry, we want to emphasize that the closure is not due to rent increases by our landlords. The Denaults Family has been nothing but kind, understanding and considerate towards us throughout everything and we have maintained a great relationship with our landlords for over two decades.

As Iva Lee’s prepares to lower its curtains for the last time, the team extends heartfelt appreciation to the dedicated staff, talented chefs, and valued vendors who have contributed to its success. Their passion and dedication have been instrumental in creating memorable dining experiences cherished by patrons throughout the years.

While the chapter of Iva Lee’s may be closing, the spirit of community and culinary excellence it embodied will continue to resonate in San Clemente. As the final service approaches, Iva Lee’s invites patrons to join in celebrating the memories and milestones shared over the past two decades.

On Saturday, March 30th, 2024, we will have our last night of service at the restaurant with a celebration with live music by Family Style. On Sunday, March 31st, 2024, we will be inviting friends, family, and all our valued customers for one last drink at Iva Lee’s with 50% of proceeds going to our staff.

Iva Lee’s thanks the San Clemente community for 21 exceptional years of support and looks forward to the next chapter with gratitude and optimism.
