    Beautiful, quaint space that felt as if I lived in Europe again. A great place for family to spend a few hours eating and catching up. The service was out of this world, so friendly and even the manager or owner walked around checking on everyone. Now for the star of the show: THE LAMB. I had the lobster pasta and my partner had the grilled lamb and shrimp combo. The lamb was so perfectly cooked I wanted to eat all of his so we ordered a second plate of it to share. At $48 a plate that tells you just how good it was! It was worth every penny! I will definitely return.

    The food at this establishment is of the highest quality. As such it is happily simply and healthfully prepared. The atmosphere is quiet, understated and elegant. It’s a little pricey but well worth it. Service is on the same level as all the other top rated elements..

    My wife and I enjoyed an amazing dinner at the black olive. It was our first time there, and definitely won't be the last. My wife has celiac disease and is very sensitive to gluten and all the dishes we ordered we're truly gluten-free.
