Made reservations for 7 of us at 6 p.m on Aug 8th for my daughters 51st birthday. I requested…read morean experienced server. We arrived on time and were seated immediately. I chose The Olive because none of us had ever been there before and I wanted it that way so we all shared the same experience without any expectations of previous visits. I looked at several options and decided on The Olive solely upon Yelp reviews. I take this app very seriously, and have been with Yelp for many years.
We were seated right away and forgive me I didnt catch my servers name because there was enough noise all around that made it a little harder for us to hear but it really wasn't intrusive or a major problem. We all could hear each other and thats all that mattered.
Our server took our drink order and my oldest daughter ordered a peach sangria that served atcleast 4 people, it came in a bag with a little valve, but there was no fruit, just peach flavored semi sweet wine. It was,tasty but not traditional,would've been great if it had some peaches and a couple berries, but I made a mental note to not order next time. We ordered 2 orders of the bang bang shrimp, 1 order of fried zuicchini and an order of 5 mini crabcakes served with a butter dipping sauce, and it all was absolutely delicious! The shrimp was moderately spicy with a killer sticky sauce coating it, sweet and piping hot, the zuicchini super hot and crunchy served with the most delicious marinara sauce, the crabcakes were lump crabmeat and we were off to a delicious start!!!
Our server then took our orders, and myself and my niece ordered the seafood supreme, LUMP CRAB, scallops and shrimp in an Alfredo sauce over linguine done totally on point and saucy, a very delicious Alfredo made right!! My oldest daughter had broiled sea scallops, perfectly cooked with a baked potato and house vegetable medley, my son in law had clams in white clam sauce, but here is where they could've done better as,far as quantity of clams, they only gave him 6 little necks in shells, 8 would've been better however it was completely delicious!!! My daughter ordered the ribeye steak with mashed potatoes but the potatoes weren't that great however, that steak was char broiled to perfection, 16 oz and one that will become memorable because of its intense deliciousness and char flavor, my nieces boyfriend had pasta in marinara that was beyond delicious! Their pasta fajiola soup was to die for, we all had house salads that came with the meal, and overall this restaurant really delivered!! Hot rolls and butter and dipping oil came with the table, and The Olive delivered in every aspect and exceeded our expectations!! Service, decor, cleanliness and overall experience made all of us agree we would highly recommend this restaurant, it was very busy, hard working efficient servers, friendly managers,and staff, we look forward to our next visit!
Bravooo Olive!!! Prices,are absolutely fair, menu has something for everyone!!! Steaks, pasta dishes, seafood, all made to perfection!! You must not miss this place on your next dining out plans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!
