More than five stars. Absolutely amazing. Every staff member there was so kind. My partner and I celebrated our anniversary here—we were greeted with champagne, gifted a delicious side on the house, and they even ended our night with a complimentary dessert. We could not have asked for a better experience. Everything was delicious. The burrata was fantastic. We will be returning & recommending this place to our friends!

Enjoyed our visit there before a show at Shubert. Menu was not extensive but what we had was good - chicken and waffle app, sliders, beef ragu (definitely big enough to share). Would skip the onion rings next time. I would go back again and try other menu items

My friend and I went to Olives and I for dinner and the Halloween costume party. Dinner was great! My friend loved her salmon over risotto. I was sad that they were out of pumpkin ravioli, but the carbonara dish (minus the egg) was delicious. The drinks were good. We didn't stay for very long at the costume party as we both had to get up early the next day. It was fun seeing folks dress up though. Thank you for a memorable evening.
