The menu was diverse and filled new foods we never enjoyed before. And the food was outstanding. The service was excellent. Our waiter anticipated our every need. He was friendly and helpful and made us feel as though we were his only table. The meal was expensive but it was fine dining. One of the best restaurants we have ever eaten in. And a great choice if you are non dairy.

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!

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.
