   Had a lovely Valentine’s Day dinner at my girlfriend’s favorite restaurant. We were seated promptly, waited on promptly and served promptly. Food was delicious.

   L’Olive is an outstanding restaurant with exceptional service. We are always fortunate to have the owner (Paul) serve us at the bar.

   My husband and I love this restaurant. The food has been fantastic. The menu is not overwhelming and has a variety of wonderful dishes. The staff is fantastic as well as very knowledgeable about the dishes. They do offer special dishes not on the menu and the specials are tops.

   We have a reservation through open table for 4:45 the lady that greet us said we’re early that we have 5 p.m reservations I said no it’s 4:45 and we got there like 4:36 something and she let us Wait I don’t know what’s the reason she said we can figure it out this one ? for me that’s wrong because we have a reservation they should have no problem and not letting us wait at all and forgive it out and the people that’s arrive after us she take it right away before us why they have reservations so do I I don’t know what’s her problem to me she rude . Never come back there in fact everything is good except that lady that’s let us wait even we have reservations it’s turn off .

   Excellent restaurant where the service and food were outstanding. The menu has a Mediterranean flair, but all the dishes are well prepared and delicious.

   Wonderful first time at L'Olive.A friend and I both wanted the branzino which was simply prepared. Her husband suggested the we ask to split the entree. The fish was delicious w a crispy skin and to our delight, there wasn't a "plate splitting charge" on the bill!

    We had an excellent Saturday lunch. The menu choices sounded somewhat unusual to us, but things turned out great. Food was excellent. We had 5 different dishes, including 1 special, and all were good. We had 2 vegeterians in the group, and they had good choices. Our servers seemed to "be in charge" and was great. I am guessing he may have been the owner. There were lots of fine wine and beer choices too, as well as sinful deserts. There were not too many upscale restaurnts available for lunch on a Saturday, and we were happy to find this one. We wanted to sit outside, but our server wisely advised us that the sun would be on us in 30 minutes. Inside was great. We ahd 2 disabled in our party and all was fine. Parking is fine. The restauranrt is an a shopping center--good parking--ambience not too great, but who cares. We recommend it.
