I had a great experience at Olive! I ordered the Sea bream in salt with some garnish, and it was absolutely delicious. The fish was full of flavor and had plenty of meat. Although the food took a bit of time to arrive, it was worth the wait. The best part was watching the chef cook and prepare it right in front of us, which made it feel extra special. I’d definitely recommend Olive to anyone looking for a tasty meal with a nice touch.

Everything about our experience here was incredible. The food was amazing! I had the olive burger, which was the best burger I've ever had, and my husband had the seabass baked in salt. Both were cooked table side by the owner, which was a really fun experience. He also then made us the nicest crepe for dessert, also table side. The cocktails were delicious, I highly recommend the strawberry colada, which is probably the nicest cocktail I've ever had.

The owner and the rest of the staff were all so friendly and they made the experience a 10 out of 10. The food was so reasonably priced, and they could definitely get away with charging a lot more. We will definitely be back before we fly home.
