    Turkey BLT sandwich
    Kate K.

    I am visiting family in St. Louis and have been to Oliva's a handful of times now. I can truly say I love love this place! They have very limited hours and really only do lunch and events/parties (outside those hours). They share a parking lot with an antique store so it can get crowded and busy. But there is also street parking. When you enter in they have a separate area where you place your order that also is a giftshop with kitchen knick knacks etc. Its super cute! They are very friendly and can answer any questions about the menu and also do modifications. The menu is lunch focused- sandwiches, salads, etc. You get a table number after you order and seat yourself. They have an outdoor seating area in addition to an indoor one which is across from the firepit area. Both are lovely! This time we choose to sit outside. I got the chicken and cherry salad (with all romaine no arugula) and my friend got the Turkey BLT minus guacamole. The sandwich comes with waffle sweet potato fries and a side of dipping sauce. The food is so fresh and always delicious! I have also had the meatball sandwich and that is amazing. The day we went it was really crowded so they took a bit longer than normal to get all the food out, which is understandable. Highly recommend this place! Overall experience 5/5

    Oliva is going to be a repeat spot now. Their Wine Down Wednesday is absolutely perfect. The patio is beautiful with a nice set up, I love the walk up bar and easy way to grab waters, plus there is a cute cafe to check out! The staff was friendly and helpful in their recommendations and I can't wait to go back. Thanks Oliva :)

    Mimosa!!! It is too good. I would have taken a picture before but I drank it a little too fast. Flavor amazing!

    Food, drinks, service, vibe, ambiance, all good prices and amazing. HIGHLY recommended! The servers are so nice and quick. Definitely coming back and recommending to friends and family!

    Cherry and goat cheese salad
    Valerie T.

    Such a cute place! If you have not tried this super cute, tucked away lunch spot, you are missing out. It is way down at the end of the street. You will think you are lost but you aren't! You order as you walk in and after you enter this beautiful patio with an arbor draped with wisteria. It is so beautiful! They have wonderful choices for lunch. Great, really fresh salads, quiche, soups. I had a goat cheese cherry salad and I woofed it down. It was so good. They have wine and beer, teas and other drink choices. Staff is friendly and attentive. An added bonus is the antique mall next door. Go in and see some interesting things! The hours are only until 2 (I think). Wine down Wednesdays are popular so check that out!

    Covered patio

    Love, love, LOVE!! I'd been hearing such good things about Oliva's Wine Down Wednesday & finally made an appearance. Great beverage selections & the food menu (while limited) has some truly delicious options. You've got to try the flatbread & spinach artichoke dip. They have 2 outdoor patio options--one in the sun & one covered courtesy of wisteria (quite lovely). The indoor seating is great too! They had plenty of servers who were friendly so while it was busy, food & such came out in a timely fashion. I very much enjoyed visiting & will be back!

    Chopped salad

    Great spot for a lunch with friends weekday or otherwise . They have salads , sandwiches and a kids menu . You order at the counter and they bring the food to you . There was only one server for the entire patio but she was efficient and friendly . We had tea with our meal but they have a wide selection of beverages : coffee , soda , flavored sparkling waters and wine . They do a wine down Wednesday evening and that is a lot of fun ! Make sure to visit the antique store next door . It's great :)

    Lunch on the patio
    Kate M.

    A secret garden in the heart of The Hill neighborhood. There is a small parking lot and street parking available. You enter through the side door into the store to place your order. The menu boasts salads, sandwiches, and flat breads. We ordered the Cesar salad and the Italian sandwich with sweet potato fries made a perfect meal. A glass of rose' for a warm after noon rounded out the menu. You walk through the side door out to the garden. It's absolutely enchanting. A pergola covered in vines and tree branches making for a comfortable place to sit and relax. The service was prompt and friendly.

    Meatball sub
    Courtney F.

    Okay WHAT IS THIS PLACE. It's so freaking good! We were looking for a somewhat quick lunch, and this popped up in the area we were in. We were super surprised there's plenty of parking - both a large parking lot and specific street parking. It was so nice since the Hill is usually so packed. You order food in their cute little boutique, they have only a few options but they are all so good! I had the meatball sub and omg so much flavor. My fiancé got the Italian panini and it was also great, the flavor profiles went so well together. They were both served with sweet potato waffle fries with garlic aioli which was honestly just as good as the sandwiches, I could eat them every day. Great lunch spot! They also have s beautiful patio for nicer weather that I can't wait to utilize. Their indoor space is an event venue and is so pretty worn stained glass and a comfy, welcoming feel. Loved the whole experience. Truly a hidden gem!

    Brie cheese
    Janet L.

    Quaint wedding venue! My best friend and I visited on Wine Down Wednesday and enjoyed the atmosphere. Food was just okay - baked Brie, pretzels, and sweet potato fries all came out lukewarm. Pinot noir was very light, but the Sangria was a refreshing surprise! Plenty of cozy indoor seating for chilly days, and outdoor seating with fire pits for a romantic glow. Great vibe for date night or girls' night out - will definitely return for the great drinks but may skip the food!

    Wine Down Wednesdays, need I say more? Well I should because that's the only day this gorgeous hidden patio is open for your enjoyment! The small tapas menu will have something for everyone's palette and all pair perfectly with their glasses of wine. Oliva's Wine Down Wednesday is perfect for a girls night out! My favorites: Artisan Cheese Board & the Baked Goat Cheese with Caramelized Onion and Figs

    caesar salad with chicken
    Samantha W.

    I visited Oliva for lunch on Wednesday. The restaurant is part event space and antique store. You order at the counter and you're given a number. The patio is beautiful and provides ample shade. The patio was extremely busy for a Wednesday afternoon! Our food came out extremely fast (within 15 minutes). We ordered the caesar salad and salmon BLT. Both were absolutely delicious! They close for lunch at 2, but open back up for dinner at 5. They also have "wine down Wednesday" with great deals on wine! We're going back next week to visit the antique store and to try more food!

    Little Lucy is an up-scale diner located in the Grove in the old Beast Craft location. Located…read moredirectly next door is Lucy Quinn. It's the Grove so do what you will with the parking situation. Walk-in always welcomed, that's the only way we roll. The inside is chill and relax, low key with good music playing. We have sat in the diner section a couple of times. Our first visit our waitress was AMAZING!!! She was extremely attentive and spot on with her recommendations. It was late on a Saturday night and we sat at high top table. We ordered the collards and artichoke dip, crispy brussels sprouts, potato wedges, LL cheeseburger and the Nashville hot catfish po'boy. EVEYTHING was a WINNER. The collards and artichoke dip along with the catfish po'boy were the stars of the show and became the BF's and I favorite staples. But DON'T SLEEP on the LL cheeseburger. A double smash burger packed with flavor and juicy, that is accompanied by american cheese, tomato jam and aioli. This burger is not to be missed. We didn't get a chance to eat the potato wedges while there so we took them home and I re-heated them the next day, expecting to be disappointed in reheated potatoes but there is something different about the way they make these potato wedges. They re-heat PERFECTLY in the toaster oven like NEW and are absolutely delicious!!! We noticed that after that first time our waitress no longer worked there and we had this guy who could care less. We discovered why he could care less. They automatically started implementing a 18% gratuity on all checks so our waiter was getting tipped no matter if he performed or not. And let me tell you he sucked. Our food was coming out before our cocktails which we ordered way in advance and he would go missing for long periods of time and our food wasn't the same quality as we once experienced. So now when we go we ONLY sit at the bar. I prefer my 18% gratuity and more go directly to our bartender who cares about our service and experience. The BF and I really enjoy Little Lucy. The cocktails are phenomenal!!! The bartenders really know what they are doing and can craft something extremely mind-blowing and delicious. The cocktails on the menu are equally OUTSTANDING!!! We have veered off our regular go-to's to discover more options like the honey hot wings which were just ok, they were under seasoned and not extra crispy as requested. The toasted ravioli is a hidden gem on the menu, which is served in a bechamel sauce with cajun spices and topped with green onions. Apparently it is referred to as stoner food. I don't care what they call but it's GREAT!!!! A truly unique way to serve toasted ravioli. A must try that I haven't talked about is the collard and artichoke dip that is served with Alabama crackers. Pro tip, always ask for extra crackers. I knew this was dish was deadly when they said collard. It is so creamy and thick. I would purchase this in large quantities and pas it off as my own. It hits the spot EVERYTIME!!! A new favorite that I order in-house and to-go is the smoked brisket sandwich, served with peppers, onions, pepper jack queso and cajun spices on a hoagie. This sandwich packs a powerful punch and the way they shave the brisket ever so thinly like a cheesesteak and layer the toppings. ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!!! We are still working our way through the menu as you can see.

    Very, very cutesy, quaint restaurant. When my friend and I arrived, it was open seating at the…read moretime, so we just grabbed some bar seats in front of the kitchen area bc all the tables were sewed up. The space is pretty tiny. There are only about 12 to 13 seating options, with only about 5 or 6 of them being non-bar height options. Nikki was our server; she was awesome, helpful & attentive! Everything is a la carte. Boooooooo! Lol. I'm not a huge fan of restaurants that serve a la carte. But whatevs. I started with the Charleston drink. It was good and strong; came out in a fancy box w a lil smoke. It was semi dramatic, lol. We decided to order the collards and spinach artichoke dip to start with. It was good. It gave spinach and artichoke dip for the most part. The seasoned saltine crackers that accompanied that were not my favorite, but not the worst, & we had to ask for more to finish the dip (we were unexpectedly charged for them -_____-). I wish it was pita bread or pita chips instead, but I guess the crackers are Lucy's special touch. We finally decide on food; she got the catfish po boy, I got the brisket sandwich. She said her sandwich was FIRE but I didn't try it so I can't speak to that unfortunately. My brisket sandwich was ok; it had queso on it and it was kinda cold which was wack. The sandwich was a decent size for sure, I just could have went for a different bread personally. The ciabatta bread overpowered the actual meat. I asked for bbq sauce to dip and eat pieces of the brisket. I want to come back and try the Brussels and catfish po boy myself.

There is a line between simple and bland, and unfortunately revel borders the line of bland. And before you say "some people don't want all the seasonings or salt" there are alternatives that are salt free and can still make your food taste good. We spent almost 40 dollars on two small bowls and two small sides. The Brussels sprouts were roasted without anything, so they were just soggy Brussels sprouts. Along with the sweet potato side that again, could've benefited from a sprinkle of cinnamon or salt free seasoning. My bowl was good, it was brown rice, mojo chicken, steamed carrots and cilantro lime dressing on the side. The other bowl we got was chicken, steamed broccoli, brown rice with a mustard bbq type sauce. It needed teriyaki which wasn't an option. The other reason I gave this one star is the people took the order through the drive through, but when I got to the window not one word was exchanged regardless of my greeting. They asked for a tip on the credit card reader too. Got our food from the window without any words at all. She didn't tell me my total ; she didn't greet or say goodbye, didn't say thank you or anything. It was off putting.

They provide such a delicious selection of nutritious meals that are very reasonably priced. I ate my meal at a table inside, but it's super cool that they also have a drive-thru if you're on the go. The inside was clean, bright, and welcoming. Everything on their menu sounded so yummy, so I had a hard time deciding what to try. I ended up ordering a small BYO bowl at the front counter. It comes with your choice of 1 base, 1 veggie, 1 protein, and 1 sauce. I got mine with brown rice, sweet potato, grilled chicken, fresh herbs, and cilantro lime sauce. I sat down at a table, and my food was brought out to me shortly after. I was immediately blown away by my bowl's flavors. Their house-made cilantro lime sauce was INCREDIBLE. In fact, my partner tried some of mine and loved it so much that he asked the employee if he could have some for his burrito. I also tried the Hang 10, one of their raw cold pressed juices. It includes watermelon, pineapple, lime, and ginger juice blend. While the juice was very cold and refreshing, I probably wouldn't pay $8 again for it. Glad I tried it, though! I am SO ready for my next visit. I left feeling nourished and fulfilled. Highly recommend!

Everyone commented on how quickly the food came out and how nice it was to be able to sit down while still getting to pick and choose what they wanted on their plate. And everyone said that the Penne with creamy tomato sausage and sage was their favorite =) We would have our reception there all over again. DEFINITELY recommend.
