My husband and I went out for date night and tried this place for the first time. We were not disappointed! The service was very quick and the server was prompt. They have bread and pesto for the table and the pesto was the BEST thing i've ever eaten. The bacon wrapped dates were amazing. I am not a fan of dates but these were quite yummy!! The bruschetta was good but I would not order them again, they're very plain. Not in a bad way, but you can get this combo anywhere. The scallops melted in my mouth and they were absolutely delicious. My husband's braised ribs were delicious as well, the mashed potatoes were smooth. We wish we saved room for dessert! Highly recommend for your next date night! We made reservations the morning before and they had availability. I would recommend reservations to secure a table since this place is very popular over the weekend. read more

Came here for lunch without reservations on a Thursday and it was hopping! Luckily, got a seat at the bar. Very cool place with good food, vibes and friendly service. We got the meatballs, butternut squash flatbread and a very delish salad. Next time will try to get a reservation! read more

Fish, flatbread, apps and booze. What else do you need? Olive & Ivy is lively, loud and a fun night out. Pick your poison: romantic or ridiculous. It can do both. Yours truly had the shellfish brodetto and my belly had zero complaints. Ample portions and it was perfectly cooked. I washed it all down with a Church Music IPA. Only slight drawback was that we had to wait an extra 20 minutes beyond our reservation time. Otherwise a good experience. read more

Thank you for having us Olive and Ivy. I took the wife here to celebrate our new tradition... DD ( Departure Date). It's the last date before we leave the country and Olive and Olive did us all the pleasure of hosting the first of many beautiful moments . We went on 5/9/2026 and spent a total of $190 and that includes tip . I typically have more to say,but maybe next time. I do have one thing to say regarding Olive and Ivy ...we love your food! It's the equivalent of cosmic kisses from baby Viltrumites, out of this world delicious needless to say . It's basically like warm baby blubber hugs. read more

I recently came here for a wedding rehearsal lunch and enjoyed everything about the experience! The bride & groom rented the private dining area. It was nice and quiet just for the attendees. For my entree, I ordered the sweet potato cannelloni. This was a sweet potato flavored pasta with roasted mushrooms and toasted almonds. It was a vegetarian dish and absolutely delicious. For dessert, I had the warm butterscotch cream cake with vanilla bean gelato. This too was great and a perfect pairing of warm & cold flavors. Service was excellent! While Olive & Ivy seems like a lovely place to dine normally, the private dining experience felt elevated. I would highly recommend this place for special events. Olive & Ivy is located in an outdoor mall area in Scottsdale, so there is no designated parking lot. However, parking garages are located nearby so it was easy to find a space. read more

Olive & Ivy had been on my list for a while as it's one of the most popular restaurants in Phoenix on Yelp. I finally stopped by for dinner on a Tuesday evening. Located in Kierland Commons on the waterway in Scottsdale, it's not easy to figure out why this restaurant is so popular. My friend made a reservation over a week in advance for 7:30. All they had available was 7:45 on the patio. I was a bit annoyed. With that being said, when I arrived, the restaurant was almost completely full. No fake hype here. I parked on the street a block or so away from the restaurant. You can also park for free in the parking garage. Ambiance (4/5): As a Fox Concept restaurant, I wasn't surprised that the ambiance is nice. It's a large restaurant with a large patio. They say that they're bringing the French Riviera to you. Maybe not quite, but still definitely a pleasant restaurant with nice decor and sophistication without being stuffy. Service (3/5): Service was a bit lackluster. Our waitress did a good job stopping by promptly in the beginning. Toward the middle of our dining experience and the end, she stopped by seldomly. One of those situations where you're actively looking for your waitress because she's not stopping by periodically. A little more attentiveness would've helped, but outside of that, she was friendly. Drinks (4/5): I had a long day at work and I was ready to unwind. They have an interesting cocktail menu and I was torn between two choices. I ended up going with the seasonal sangria. Normally, I don't go for basic cocktails, but this is not your basic sangria. Yuzu was in the sangria which I've never seen before. Hence the seasonal aspect. It was refreshing. Outside of cocktails, they have your typical assortment of wine, beer, and soft drinks. Food (4/5): Olive & Ivy is Mediterranean fare with a California twist. They started us off with some complimentary bread and pesto sauce. Always a nice touch! The bread wasn't my favorite but hey, free is free. They have an interesting menu, just not the most appealing for my tastes. Some entrees are pretty expensive while others are affordable. There was only one dish in my mind that stood out and that's what I went with: the lasagna Bolognese. And I'm happy I did! A fusion of two classic Italian dishes. It was quite good. Reasonable portion size, though I would've liked a bit more. Flavorful with spinach ricotta and melted cheese on top. Up there with some of the best lasagna I've had. And served with a slice of what seemed to be a French baguette with melted butter. Overall, very, very good. And here's a pro tip: they have a marketplace area of the restaurant which is more of a grab and go type of spot separate from the restaurant. $4 for one scoop of the Oreo Cheesecake gelato. Thank me later. read more

Amazing, amazing brunch spot! They give you fresh focaccia and pesto when you first sit down, which is incredible! Their brunch options are all made fresh daily and absolutely delicious. We also ordered the French toast and the flavor is phenomenal - HIGHLY recommend. I ordered an iced latte and it was also soo good! Even for a busy weekend day, the service was great - friendly and very attentive. I would be here all the time if I lived in the area. 5+ stars all the way! read more

Finally got a chance to dine here and enjoyed my visit. Reservations are highly recommended, even on a weeknight. They have a beautiful large patio on the waterfront, which is perfect if the weather cooperates (and it did on our visit!) We tried bruschetta and loved it. My favorite was the mozzarella one, the bread on it was perfect too. My friend enjoyed the prosciutto one and we both also tried the strawberry one (the bread was a little soggy on this) For my main course I got the Japanese sweet potato bowl. It was fresh, full of flavor and light on the stomach. The sauce was creamy and the sweet potato was nice and crispy. My friend got mussels and really enjoyed them. The serving was generous. I enjoyed my strawberry mocktail and we got some delicious cherry chip gelato on our walk out to enjoy as we strolled along the river. Overall a wonderful meal, definitely a great spot to check out! read more

This was a really pretty resturant in the heart of old town. Perfect location for a special night out. Service was great, even with a large party. We sat outside, and it was a nice ambiance. Portions are great size, and the apps are good size for sharing. I loved that we were able to pick 3 different kinds of bruschetta, as we were able to taste a variety! The rock shrimp tagliatelle was a big portion, with a generous amount of shrimp. Loaded with flavor read more

I came into Olive & Ivy for a quick breakfast before my Papago Park electric bike tour. I placed my order and then got a number for the food. The drinks were picked up at the cashier when they called your name. The ambiance was clean and spread out. There was a whole part of the restaurant that was closed off and didn't open until lunch. I ordered a coldbrew coffee with almond milk, a strawberry protein shake and the egg sandwich. The egg sandwich had avocado, bacon, american cheese, toasted brioche, mayo; served with: breakfast potatoes however, I substituted the breakfast potatoes for a bowl of fruit. The coffee really woke me up! It was quite strong. The protein shake was also delicious. Overall, great food and a good pitstop to fill my tummy before my bike tour. read more

My husband and I came to Olive & Ivy to celebrate New Year's Eve. We booked the reservation well in advance which made things super convenient. The dining room itself is gorgeous and they had a DJ for the event & lots of lights & balloons. It really helped bring together the exciting atmosphere. They had a prix fixe menu with great options and the pricing was very reasonable. I don't think there was a single food item I disliked. I also ordered a dirty martini which was made perfectly. The only downfall of our meal was the timing & I get it was a major holiday so it's hard to judge. I ordered a second drink which I wanted to pair with dessert but it didn't end up coming out until we were literally paying for our bill. Overall we still had a great experience & I'd definitely come back again for a regular dinner or lunch. read more

Always delicious food and cocktails (even the mocktails are great). Servers are super friendly. We usually sit inside but tried the patio this time and it was quite lovely, with lots of umbrellas for shade. I will say each time we arrive, regardless of the hostess, she is not generally friendly. Fortunately we love the food, ambience and food service but it would be nice if we were greeted pleasantly since that is the first point of contact upon entering the restaurant. There is also a side cafe with an abbreviated menu, which is a nice option if the restaurant is busy or the wait is long. We haven't tried it yet but would in the future. Overall a great spot and we will return. read more

This is a popular restaurant, and you can tell from the minute you walk inside! My favorite feature was the lighting, specifically the glass lanterns all along the ceiling. We were seated in a comfortable booth. We did wait until our reservation time, but were seated right away. Before we were seated, we decided to get drinks at the bar and enjoy them in their outdoor seating area in front of the restaurant. There's multiple tables and chairs just outside the entrance and they are well protected from any weather. We enjoyed their Espressotini (one of the best Espresso martinis I've ever had!), the La Flora (deliciously fruity), and the Old Fashioned. All were exceptional cocktails with beautiful garnishes! For appetizers, we shared the smoked salmon bruschetta (they kindly cut it into 3 pieces for our group), the arancini, and the Brussel sprouts. Our waitress, Barrie; recommended the Brussels sprouts, and I'm so glad she did--they were AMAZING! For dinner, we had the grilled artichoke flatbread (great crust!), the chicken scallopini, and the seafood medley with black pasta in a tomato broth-sauce. The flatbread was crispy with a good amount of cheese, and the dollops of goat cheese and piquillo pepper jam were the perfect toppings. The chicken was perfectly cooked and had lots of gooey cheese. The tomato sauce on the seafood medley was light but flavorful, and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. During dinner, we enjoyed a bottle of Sangiovese which was smooth and a light but bold red wine. My dad also had the spicy margarita, which definitely has a KICK but is tasty. Finally, we shared the lemon cake which Barrie kindly put a candle in and the plate said "Happy Birthday!" In beautifully piped cursive. We also had the creme Brulee, and even though it's not a go to dessert for me; it was fantastic! It had the perfect crunchy crack of sugar and an assortment of berries. The portion was a pleasant surprise too! We will definitely be returning! If you dine here, make sure to ask for Barrie -- she is so sweet and did an amazing job serving us! This is a great place to celebrate birthdays for adults! It can be noisy, so keep that in mind. We highly recommend dining at Olive & Ivy! read more

My friend and I had dinner yesterday and it was really good. We sat on the patio and the weather was perfect. The atmosphere is very chic and we had great service. We enjoyed bacon wrapped dates as an appetizer which was beautifully prepared and delicious. My friend ordered sea bass and I ordered a chicken dish. Both tasted wonderful. The cheesecake dessert was so decedent! I recommend this restaurant for an upscale experience in Scottsdale. read more

Visiting from Dallas and am sooooo happy we came here!!!! The vibes were great! We went outside on the patio first but it due to it being so unusually windy we asked to go inside. It was Monday and wine bottles were half off. We had white truffle flatbread, lamb meatballs, sea bass and scallops. Wow! Everything was delicious and service was superb! read more

I wish I knew the waitress' name because she deserves the praise (and potentially an Oscar). We were a big party of I believe 16 or so for a work dinner. Not only did she take the time to help me prank my bosses, but she was incredibly sweet, helpful with the menu and always checked if we needed anything or more drinks. The seabass was so delicious and the prosciutto app and arancini app were both incredible. Highly recommend the espresso martini and sangria! Sangria is on the sweeter side but great flavor. Would absolutely recommend this spot. read more

4.5/5* Came here for dinner with a bachelorette group. They were so thoughtful and had a card on the table congratulating the bride to be. They have big drink menu for wines, cocktails and even mocktail options. I got the garden harvest mocktail that has ripe strawberry, mint leaf, yuzu & lime sparkling soda. It was delicious! I split a strawberry & avocado salad and it was delicious. The portion is big, so it made the perfect side salad. The pacific sea bass was really good especially after squeezing the lemon caper butter onto it. We finished with some desserts to share. The warm butterscotch cream cake was surprisingly my favorite, and then the crème brûlée. I didn't care for the lemon soufflé cake but eaten with the honey crema, it was better. Overall great food experience but it was quite busy, and we as a group, felt that the waiter had too many big tables. We had asked for another water 2-3 times and eventually found another person to ask before finally getting one. read more

Great Sunday brunch experience at Olive & Ivy! Easy to make a patio reservation online, quickly responded via text when I needed to confirm the patio was dog friendly. Easy parking either out front or in Nordstrom parking lot. Seated right away, the patio is perfect. Right on the water, very cute and cozy. We had the breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito. Both were delicious! My only critique is the salsa on the breakfast burrito was mediocre. Coffee was good and they serve bread with a pesto dip / the pesto was incredible! The patio is dog friendly and they brought water for her right away. Will be back for sure! read more

It's been years since I've been here, but I came back for a networking event. They have a great outdoor space for private parties. The bartenders manning the event bar were fantastic, especially Daniel! He kept the drinks flowing and even walked drinks over to our table when he saw ours were running low. The two cocktails I had were delicious (one had Belvedere organic vodka, Figenza, fresh lime, pomegranate, and ginger beer; the other had Condesa gin, vodka, orange blossom, prickly pear, and cold seltzer - the latter was my favorite). I also tried their pitas and hummus, margherita flatbread, and grilled artichoke flatbread - the latter was my favorite. read more

In September 2025, we came down to Scottsdale for our anniversary and we were so lucky as it was also Restaurant week in Scottsdale! After some deliberation we decided to try Olive and Ivy. We were able to snag a 7pm seating so we took a Waymo there. The location is right by the canal, the sky still red from the sunset and lights wrapped around the palm trees twinkled in the early evening as we crossed the bridge toward the entrance. This is clearly an upscale establishment, with modern decor and courteous but casual staff who welcomed us and ushered us to the bar as our table was made ready. I had an Old Fashioned (yum!) and my wife had a spicy margarita. Both were outstanding, and before we could finish, the table was ready so we took our drinks and gazed around the interior on our way to the table. At eye level, it is upscale relaxed and when you look up, the ceiling is high and industrial but supplemented by large old-style bulbs which add some interest and add depth to the interior, which is quite spacious. There is a large area in one corner where the chefs prepare the meals, which I always find is a good sign as they are not hiding away somewhere. The restaurant week had an amazing 3 course meal we could not pass on. $55 per person which includes a glass of the wine. We of course did the upgrade for $15 per person to get 2 full bottles. You can't even buy this wine for $15, what a deal. The wine was Kari Hart Chardonnay and was fantastic. My starter was truffle arancini in marinara and did not disappoint, with some basil pesto and oodles of shaved parmesan cheese. My main was a perfectly cooked filet of beef with dauphinoise potatoes and asparagus. It was full of flavor, expertly seasoned and prepared. I had creme brûlée which came with strawberry compote and a few sprigs of mint leaves. My wife had mussels as a started and the sea bass with artichoke, tomato, olive and lemon caper butter. She enjoyed both of them very much. Overall, great atmosphere, fantastic fantastic service, perfectly cooked food and a very enjoyable place that we will absolutely come back to as soon as possible. read more

I'm not sure what happened, but the to-go section was a nightmare. There were only two people ahead of me, yet we still waited nearly 40 minutes--if not an hour--just to place an order. The only reason we stayed was because it was getting late and we didn't feel like going anywhere else, but we were starving. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the wait. What I ordered wasn't tasty at all; the chicken tasted like it came from a can and was simply tossed into macaroni noodles. Even the tiny slice of bread that came with the meal was unappealing. Overall, I would suggest dining in rather than ordering to-go. I've tried to enjoy takeout from here a few times and haven't had a great experience. The staff are nice, but the service is extremely slow, and once again, the dish we ordered was not something I'd recommend. In closing: Parking is usually easy to find, as there is always someone pulling out but also there's a free underground parking garage here as well...which is super creepy to park in. Lol You're best finding street parking. read more

We walked up to the hostess, asked for a table for 2, and were told the wait would be 45 minutes or less. I left my phone number and we walked out the door towards the mall. After walking less than 50' from the front door, I got the text saying our table was ready. Great! LOL! Very busy spot, with plenty of staff. Everything was delicious! We had: Complimentary Bread & Pesto Black Truffle Arancini Lasagna Bolonese Pesto Chicken Flatbread We barely finished half the lasagna and flatbread so we took it to go and ate it for dinner. read more

This was our first stop for my sister in laws bachelorette and we loooved it! We arrived even before the restaurant side opened up and they let us store our luggage in the wine cellar haha. It was so nice of them. We killed some time and went shopping and then came back once the restaurant was open and it was time for our reservation. Our server was outstanding and so was the young man that let us drop our stuff off beforehand. Seriously, 10/10 for the staff here! To start, we ordered some of the bruschetta which I loved that they had such a variety of them! My fave was the prosciutto! Our waitress also told us to try the bread as well and that was so delicious. We saw them making it inhouse so we definitely wanted to try it. To eat for lunch, I ordered the grilled chicken panini and really enjoyed it. It was sooo good! The pesto aioli was chefs kiss! We also ordered some espresso martinis and those were delicious, too! At the end of our meal, our waitress dropped off a special dessert for my sister in law that said congrats! And the staff all signed a card for her! Such a wonderful touch! Definitely a cute spot and would highly recommend checking out this place! Next time I'd love to sit on the patio! read more

I recently returned to Olive and Ivy after some time away, and I was thrilled to find it just as lively and amazing as I remembered. This spot was always a favorite during my business trips, and it did not disappoint on this personal visit. I started with a very refreshing mimosa that was absolutely delicious--perfectly bubbly and a great way to kick off my meal. For my main course, I ordered the lamb gyro, which was cooked to perfection. The tzatziki sauce added the perfect touch, and the dish was served nice and hot. I couldn't resist adding a side of fries, which were also fantastic. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I enjoyed sitting at the bar, soaking in the ambiance while dining solo. Olive and Ivy continues to be a must-visit whenever I'm in the area. I highly recommend stopping by if you get the chance! read more

Olive & Ivy is a romantic cute spot the atmosphere alone makes it so special. The dim lighting gives it such a warm, romantic vibe, perfect for a date night or a cute dinner with friends. The food is amazing and always hits, although I will say the portions can be a bit on the smaller side but still totally worth it for the quality and flavor. The bolognese pasta is SO good and definitely a must-order. Getting a reservation can be tough, but trust me, it's worth the wait. I'm always recommending this place to people because it's just that good. The flora drink is my favorite it's sweet and perfect if you don't like strong drinks! I especially love that it's right by the waterfront the views add so much to the whole experience. And the patio is SO cute, especially in the evening. Definitely a spot I'll keep going back to! read more

Parking was crazy, took awhile to find a spot and it was not disabled but we made it work. Wait was over 2 hours it's a Saturday evening around 6 pm. We were seated in an hour, I told them it's my birthday can you check again for a table? I have no shame and this restaurant is the only people that gave me a birthday card! Ha. That's sweet. It's loud in there, super busy but our food server was still very attentive and the food was good. The boy loved his steak and asparagus. My salmon plate was tasty I'm not sure I'd come back it's high energy in there and too packed but a good birthday dinner nonetheless. read more

We came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. Make reservations!! Luckily we did, but there were a lot of people waiting for tables when we arrived. This was a very happening place. They have bar seating, as well as indoor, and outdoor. The restaurant offers a variety of different food options. As a family, we couldn't decide because there were so many good choices. Ultimately, we ordered the steamed mussels, lamb gyro, white truffle and prosciutto flatbread, and the lasagna bolognese. We all shared each other's dishes and we were happy with all of the food. My favorite was the flatbread. I love anything with truffle. The flavors were simple and fresh. The lasagna bolognese was another favorite. It was a good size serving. The gyro came with fries, tzatziki, and pita. The mussels were in a very flavorful broth with some sausage and toasted bread. read more

On a Sunday afternoon we decided to prop in for a light lunch. This was our first time at the restaurant but was keen on this location due to its extensive patio area. We learned during brunch time it's best to make a reservation around noon. Fortunately we were able to grab a great spot at the bar before it filled up! The service at the bar was excellent: great teamwork among the bar staff. Many thanks to Kat for her great service during our visit! On Sunday the restaurant offers both breakfast and lunch items. We decided to get a Cobb salad and the lamb gyro as recommended. When the food arrived, we were overwhelmed with the portions. The salad was super clean: salad came with a buttermilk dressing but I required a lighter dressing. The gyro sandwich was good and came with appropriate sauce. As the portions were so big, we ended up bringing the sandwich home. We also had yummy fresh bread with a basil dip. The basil dip was excellent. To complement our meal we had a couple of cocktails. Cocktails were spot on and made to our liking. The restaurant offers a wide range of seating: the bar is a significant size, u shaped. Plus by the bar there is some couch seating. In addition plenty of tables in a large open space. Lastly the restaurant offers a good size patio and party rooms. In addition plenty to the restaurant offers, there is a cafe. The cafe offers to go items, coffee drinks And meals, such as sandwiches. With this great experience: we will be back! read more

My friend and I were going to the Old Town Canal convergence and arrived a little early so we decided to grab some drinks at Olive & Ivy. It was starting to get a bit crowded so we decided to grab a seat at the bar. We were greeted right away by a very nice bartender (I forgot his name) and het us know we just entered happy hour! They have a separate happy hour menu and we immediately ordered the sparkling rose paloma. It was so pretty when it arrived and because it was so darn delicious I sucked it back in a nano second and then moved on to the HH Pinot Grigio -- which was also very nice! The ambiance here is a bit touristy for my taste but for a little pre-funking before the event it was great -- it was a Sunday and it definitely got very crowded, probably due to the canal event but it is so big that I can see it being a great place to go when you have a large group maybe from out of town. Also the patio is very nice -- and also dog friendly!! So love that because I love to take my dog with me when I can, so might be back for some patio sitting and people watching! We didn't try the food because we had already stuffed ourselves earlier but the flatbread pizza's smelled very good, and are pretty well priced for HH. Overall I enjoyed my visit to Olive & Ivy. read more

We took out-of-town guests to dine on the Olive & Ivy patio and it was just delightful. The food was outstanding - we all had salads and I had the Caesar with salmon. Great. Everyone enjoy these salads. The service was attentive and we never had to wait. Our server was charming. The ambiance was wonderful but we were disappointed that they have grown a hedge such that patio diners can no longer see the canal. I wonder why the restaurant decided to do that. It's not awful but it's not what we promised our guests when we took them there. Would I go again? Yes. read more
