    We had the best time dining with friends at Olive and Oak. Our server was outstanding, along with all of the hosts, bussers, and additional support staff. Our meal was perfectly paced and gave us time to enjoy each course, as well as visit with our friends. The food and drinks were absolutely spectacular, as always. To top things off, we were gifted a bottle of wine before leaving from the manager. Hows that for a wow-factor?!

    The food is always fantastic...my favorite at lunch is the salmon salad with avocado and mango. A delicious combination. We were lucky enough to be served by Jason, who is friendly, energetic and a perfect waiter.
