    Hal, our Server was fantastic! Food was good, some of the plates on the Buffett station, were dirty: I noticed several times. Remodel- nice, but very loud, due to the new, marble style, floors.

    Came to Olivia to celebrate the new house we bought with my husband and parents. We love Olivia, the price is not for the faint of heart but the experience is always so wonderful. Staff are polite and attentive (without being annoying), my mom wanted some drink concoction that they didn't have the ingredients to make but the bartender took the time to whip up something custom that she ended up loving. Food is always exceptional start to finish.

    A delightful afternoon tea! Great ambiance for Christmas season.. All the staff were attentive and took great care of us. I asked for a table away from the piano and hostess went out of her way to find a quieter table for us! Our server from Moldavia was delightful. The food was delicious and plenty of choices. The tea was hot and topped up with hot water frequently. My one complaint would be that there was only one pot of tea per person -I would like to have had a few more to try. I should have asked for more as I think they have given it to me!
