All the food, cocktails, and wine were all great! Olivine holds its own in the Auburn foodie scene and I couldn't believe that it was such a new restaurant. Southern Bramble cocktail was my favorite prior to moving on to the wine list. We love antipasti: our burrata di public abd rosemary focaccia. Sweet potato cappelletti and spicy rigatoni all a vodka were favorites. The space of Olivine makes you forget you are on the top of a hotel. I know it is not related to the hotel and has a separate entrance to remind you of that. Beautiful build out. I highly recommend checking out Olivine. They are open table.

We were able to get 6pm reservations for a standard table a month ago. This is a new establishment,…read moreso we knew it would be a bit difficult. We arrived a few minutes early, and our table was prepared quickly. Unfortunately, we were seated at a high-top table near the bar. The window tables were all full, but most interior tables were empty. Tables are very close together, and the music is loud enough that you can't hear the full conversation at the tables around you. The music was more appropriate for a lunch seating--strong bass and upbeat. It was odd that we were seated without menus. We sat there for several minutes before water service came by, and then a few more minutes before service brought menus. Noel, our server, was very helpful and knowledgeable. She let us know that the kitchen recommends ordering all items at one time. They had a nice wine selection. They have a limited selection of entrees. We were a bit concerned when we noticed most tables were not finishing their food. Most plates were being removed full. Several pizzas went by our table with single pieces eaten. We started with the BURRATA DI PUGLIA, which took a while but was fresh. My husband ordered the PORK SHANK, which was large and very hot. I had the SCIALATIELLI, which was nice, but I'm not sure I would order it again. I was informed I could add shrimp, but I chose to order as offered. The table next to us had the SMOKED MUSSELS and SPICY CAESAR as starters. They said the mussels were good and the Caesar was basic. They had the RAVIOLI AL CAPRINO and the PORK CHEEK PIZZA. They said they would order the ravioli again. For dessert, we ordered the MILLE-FEUILLE and the VANILLA BEAN CHEESECAKE. The Mille-feuille was very dry. Would not recommend at all. The cheesecake was large and would be perfect to share. It was a bit dry on the outside edges, so much so that the graham cracker crust fell off. Once you made it to the center, it was nice, and the orange blossom honey cream was a nice touch. There was one fig segment in the center and 4 berry pieces. Parking is in the city parking deck behind the hotel ($1 per hr). There is a separate entrance to the rooftop dining, but it was closed tonight. Turns out the designated elevator was out of service. The hotel elevator was very slow. The outside seating was very nice. There are several fire pits. Many people were enjoying drinks around the fire pits. Unfortunately, it does overlook the city parking lot/deck. The Samford cloak tower is visible in the distance. I'm sure the sunset views are amazing. We would return for the ambience. At these prices, there are now several other options for better meals (with more selection). At the end of our meal my husband made a visit to the restroom. As he was leaving the door to the water closet opened and an employee emerged and promptly exited the room walking directly into the kitchen. My husband made a point to look for a handwashing station that may have been used but there was not one. The dress was casual.

It gives speak easy vibes, and the lighting and seating make it comfortable. They even have a cocktail for a cause with donations given to an organization when that specific drink is purchased. I loved that they were celebrating Harry Potter's birthday, and we enjoyed potions that represented our houses. (I'm Gryffindor if you're curious.) It was slow, but I like to come in when the university doesn't have athletic events or fall/spring classes aren't in session. The bartenders were kind & helpful when we asked questions. There's parking in front of the door & the surrounding areas, so depending when you go, it may be easy or difficult to park.

I was going to start this review by saying that nostalgia can't help everything when it comes to a…read moreplace from my past. I was originally going to say that nostalgia should take you back to your youth without having to deal with the youth that are now frequenting this college watering hole. But I decided when it comes to 17-16, I can't find anything else wrong with it besides having to deal with college students. But you know what, when you have a great "college bar", you really shouldn't expect anything different. Therefore I will let nostalgia from the bar I loved in college negate any of those negative thoughts. Although, I'm sure our group stuck out like the old alums that still hit the bars when they are in town. What makes this bar a great college bar? First of all, the bar runs on both sides and there are always plenty of bartenders. Making it very easy to get a drink. Not to mention college town prices are AMAZING. Also because of this wrap around bar concept, it keeps people flowing in a "lap walking" form. So even though it gets crowded, it doesn't feel that claustrophobic. There is also an outside area in the back. So if you want to get out of the crowded bar, this is usually pretty wide open. Would I frequent 17-16 if it were in my hometown? Probably not. But when I do my once in a blue moon visits and know what I'm getting in to, I can't think of another late night bar in the loveliest village on the plains.

Our attendant was Faith - she took very good care of us. We enjoyed talking with her. We give her A++ for doing a great job. Also compliment the young man who cleaned and set up tables AND made sure we had a full glass of water. He said it was his third day on job and he did a wonderful job for being "new". The ambiance was very nice - every person we talked with was very friendly and pleasant. The restaurant was full but the service went smooth. This was our second visit and we plan to come again.

The water has an earthy, funky flavor that is somewhat concerning. Nobody got ill. But I consider…read moreoffering people gross water a little inhospitable. I believe it effected some of the flavors of foods that were boiled in it, too. Gnocchi had some of the same off flavor. In addition, some of the flavors just feel way out of whack for totally unrelated reasons. Sauce that the duck came in was thin and overwhelmed by honey. The risotto it was served with seems like it should be rich and homey. But despite a crazy amount of added dairy still tasted thin and flat. Can't tell you why. Wonky seasoning? None of the dishes reflected any familiarity with acid to lighten or balance a dish. Fried green tomatoes were pretty mid despite a quality remoulade and a bunch of pimento cheese. Ingredients seem like they're decent quality. Desserts are legitimately top notch. Everyone recommends the peanut butter pie. And it is excellent, though pretty obviously not long out of the freezer. The affogato Is legitimately fantastic. And I'm not even talking about the pageantry of dumping the espresso on the salt ice cream. The combo is legitimately satisfying, like a well-rounded creamy candy. The plates are funky and cool and beautiful. The staff all seem like they're 19, attractive, and gregarious.

The pizza took a little long to come out but it our waiter gave us updates often so we never felt forgotten. The pizza was amazing. As Mellow Mushroom's pizza always is!

I can't wait to go back again and enjoy it hot and fresh!
