    LOlive is my favorite restaurant of 2024. The quaint ambience inside with soft music is a treat. You are greeted warmly,seated quickly,time to relax,order,and eat the best fresh excellent food cooked by a Paris trained chef. When your reasonable Bill for all this arrives, you are pleasantly surprised.
