Name dispute.
Due to a lost court case with "Caprice Holding", owner of the European trademark for the name The Ivy, Geurds was forced to change the name of his restaurant. Geurds' argumentation that "The Ivy" and "Ivy" only served their local markets in respectively London and Rotterdam, were dismissed by the judge. The new name of the restaurant became "FG" and was unveiled on 13 June 2013.
Location.
Originally, the restaurant was located at the Lloydstraat 294 in Rotterdam. In 2016 is moved to Katshoek 37-b in Rotterdam, the former site of the FG Noodle Bar, next to FG Food Labs.
