Atmosphere is spot on when it comes to an Irish pub. (Last summer we were in Ireland, taking part in many a Guinness and other things in various pubs.) We had a wonderful waitress...and I'm sad we can't remember her name. A lady in her 40s or 50s. She was super attentive, nice and welcoming. Wait time wasn't long, everything came out quickly. Our family group had burgers, shrimp and grits and a Sheppard's pie (actually a cottage pie). We also shared an appetizer of fried green tomatoes. The portions are large and almost all of us took another full meal home when all was said and done. Tasted great, we just couldn't finish it all! The location is nice too, lots to do down that strip. As for costs, it was on par with other places with the same food quality. If you're in town, this place is a must!

I got the salmon with mashed potatoes and broccoli. They don't give you enough of the broccoli. The salmon was good. The pickled onion on top was a little bit weird and probably would have been a turn off to a lot of people. I think they put too many onions and wish they had a little more of the pickled flavor but it was good overall. My husband got the Vodka Chicken. He enjoyed it after he scrapped off all the onions that was in the vodka sauce. The menu just said tomato in the sauce. Onion should have been mentioned especially with how dominant the onions were. The chicken also had random burn marks. Overall enjoyed the service but food was average.

There are about 5 or 6 decent sized shrimp that are not overcooked. Don't forget to try a biscuit. Get a biscuit. Or get three!! The best part of my entire meal was the service. My server Hannah was the most attentive and generous server I have ever encountered. I'd come back for dinner just for her service.

Our host sat us down promptly and wished me a "Happy Birthday", which made me feel special on my day. The establishment was well decorated, and the vibe was very relaxed. After about 10 minutes of being seated, we get water. We started noticing that more people were arriving and getting drink orders in while we were not even acknowledged. Then these customers placed their orders, while we were still waiting to place our drink order. After about 30 minutes of waiting to order a glass of wine, we decided to leave. This experience made me feel extremely disappointed and we have decided to never return or recommend to anyone because of this.

Before my parents even ordered a drink they brought the appetizer and the dessert out together (???) I even told the girl on the phone that I wanted to order them something to start and something to end their meal. Very strange to bring a dessert out with the appetizer before they even eat dinner?! The reservation was at 6:30 pm! The "lightly fried" artichokes were very fried. My mom ordered the chicken piccata which looks like boiled chicken and the noodles were all stuck together and inedible. Very disappointing for their anniversary. They have a great building and hope they can turn this around.

There's a particular kind of joy in feeding your college kid something that didn't come from a…read moredrive-thru window or a dining hall steam tray--and this place delivers that joy in butter, spice, and just the right amount of indulgence. Tucked into Auburn's dining scene with an upscale-casual pub charm, it's become our daughter's favorite spot to "take us" when we visit--which tells you everything you need to know. After a semester fueled by ramen and an alarming quantity of Chick-fil-A, she heads straight for the spicy penne crowned with perfectly cooked filet medallions. A wise choice. They don't take reservations, and yes, you may linger outside awhile on a busy night. Stay. It's worth it. For those of us with Gulf Coast roots, the menu reads like a love letter: blackened catfish done right, crispy crawfish tails, and cheese-laced grits that feel like a warm welcome home. The fried green tomatoes are a standout--golden, crisp, topped with grilled shrimp, and finished with a balsamic glaze that somehow works beautifully, even if it strays from tradition. The shrimp and grits, the catfish, the pasta--all hits. Cheesecake for dessert, especially if you're loyal to a graham cracker crust, is non-negotiable. Dim, cozy, a little whimsical (don't skip art in the hallway to the bathroom), and staffed by people who seem genuinely happy you're there. We'll be back. Often. --Chance & Becky *All Ahead Slow*

Complaints include a chipped plate and glass along with a very loud environment. We were seated away from the bar area but it was quite loud to the point it was difficult to hear across the table. The DJ could bring it down a little but the hard wood ceiling and floor bounces sound extremely well. Outside dining may be a good option for a more quiet night. It's a small menu and they were out of two apps on Saturday night:( All that said, the food is very good. I especially liked the burrata and the tuna. The beet salad could use a few more beets but the lamb and chicken were reported as good. Substantial wine list with many Italian options. Well made cocktails, shout out for the old fashioned. Plan on spending $100pp to do it right.

If you're planning a meal, I highly recommend requesting an outdoor table, which makes for a much more enjoyable experience. The noise level inside can be pretty high, although where you sit definitely makes a difference. The bar scene looks fantastic and would be a great place to stop in for cocktails and enjoy the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the dining experience itself was disappointing. Service was slow and inattentive throughout the evening. We had already finished our meals before our waiter finally stopped by to ask how everything was with our "first bites," which was a bit ironic. The food was just okay. The menu leans Italian, but some of the dishes missed the mark. The vodka sauce lacked the authentic flavor you'd expect, and the pappardelle had an unexpectedly heavy lemon flavor that overpowered the dish. To top it off, we were charged for a second drink that we never ordered. Overall, Olivine shines when it comes to atmosphere and views, and I could definitely see returning for drinks at the bar. However, the service and food quality need some refinement before I'd come back for dinner.

Our drinks were smooshed in between. Had to make sure my duckhorn didn't spill. Our waiter was fantastic. I wish I remembered his name originally from Texas. Young college student that helped me the night before in the bar area too.

We had breakfast there each morning for 4 days and when I mean breakfast, it was a full breakfast meal and not a quick grab and go or small buffet. I tried the ham and cheese omelet and added bacon, the Americano with bacon one day and the next day with sausage, and my breakfast the last day I chose the french toast. Everything was delicious. The bacon was cooked nice and crisp, and the mascarpone was the perfect match for the french toast. My eggs were always cooked the way I requested, over hard or over medium. Our service was actually quick since we usually started first thing right after they opened, however, service was just kind of slow on one of the days. We didn't understand how since we were the only people in there, maybe around 8 of us at that time. The ambiance was really nice and cozy. You wouldn't think you were inside of a hotel. It felt very warm and the decor was just lovely. If I'm ever back in the area, I would definitely go there again.
