Grilled Chicken Sandwich w/seasoned homemade chips
Willis C.

Located in the Hilton Hotel, the Olive Lounge is a very nice hotel bar with some amazing food. After arriving and getting settled in my room, I wanted a bite to eat so I headed downstairs to see what the it had to offer. The space, which located right off the first-floor lobby is very open with a modern feel to it. In addition to serving breakfast, lunch and dinner there are also late night snacks available. Since my first visit was early afternoon it was mostly empty so I sat at the bar. I was promptly welcomed by the bartender and offered a menu. I was surprised at all options available which included appetizers, salads, sandwiches along with a few entrée type dishes. I went with the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Seasoned Homemade Chips (the other choice was French Fries). I thoroughly enjoyed my selection; the sandwich was very flavorful and the chips had a very nice seasoning to them. Since this was the weekend of Celebration 2017 (this Hilton was a host hotel for the four day event) the Olive Lounge had a couple specialty cocktails available; Raspberry Beret (gin based) and Purple Rain (vodka based). As a self-proclaimed vodka connoisseur, I went with a Purple Rain and it did not disappoint. In all honesty, it was my beverage of choice the entire weekend on my many visits to Olive Lounge...that's just how tasty it was. The servers and bartenders all did an exceptional job throughout the entire weekend. In addition to being friendly they were attentive. This held true on all my visits including the times when the place was really crowded. The staff kept up with the demand and remained friendly. Lastly, as to be expected there are a couple of TVs located through the space which were airing sports and news. If you're staying at the Hilton I highly recommend a few stops at the Olive Lounge.

We rolled out to Bloomington and found a decent sized parking lot right with the restaurant. Greeted immediately by friendly staff and were treated like special out of town guests by all the employees we encountered. Our server, Gustavo, was fantastic and we wanted for nothing the entire time. The restaurant is crisp looking and inviting, and in the Goldilocks way, just right size-wise. The food is locally sourced as much as possible and the meals were fantastic. Portion sizes are generous and you're able to order breakfast or lunch anytime. We went back a second time this week after a routine veterinary appointment. The same information applies to this visit too. We met and talked with the owners both visits and they are friendly, knowledgeable and seem to really enjoy their work. Dogs are allowed on the patio (enclosed and heated) although my dogs stayed in the car this time. We ordered scones to take away on visit two. Baked fresh right before I ordered and they smell and taste wonderful.

They have an amazing cocktail menu along with a cocktail and martini of the day! Very exciting to see the creative freedom from the team! The mussels are to die for! You can tell the menu is very well thought out, I will be back to try more! The entire place is just a great vibe! Truly a gem worth trying and will leave you wanting to come back for more!! Thank you for the amazing experience to everyone there!

I have been here a few time before and definitely thought I had already written a review, but I…read moreguess not. I have been here two times in the last week and lemme tell ya.. this is quite the spot. I do suggest making a reservation because everytime I go here it is popping! What a vibey place, the lights aren't too bright, it gives a hip, fun, light energy and is not too pretentious but has INCREDIBLE FOOD AND DRINKS. Right now, one of their specials is whitefish toast.. if you enjoy fish at all, you need this. The fish is light and fresh, they put fresh dill on top and it is placed on top of some toasted sourdough bread perfectly. The fish is flavorful, a lil earthy and I feel as if there are capers or olives in in the fish mixture, whatever it is is fire! The burrata, beets, and citrus is a nice lovely, fresh, light app, the burrata is perfection with the beets and fresh, juicy citrus, drizzled with some oil and random pieces of garlic mixed in, YUM. I suggest ordering bread on the side with this one! The wings here are a staple and always delish. Crispy, hot, and coated perfectly in a light sweet chili sauce.. they hit the spot everytime. The housemade ranch is a perfect dipper. The other day I tried the chorizo and scallops... oh my goodness gracious.. it was a lil spicy and creamy with the bean puree and the scallops were buttery, light and divine! 10 outta 10 would do again. Finally, got the goat cheesecake, gluten free ginger snap crust with poached pears. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I want this now and in every lifetime! The cheesecake was light, yet decadent, deep, creamy with a light, unassuming flavor. The crust was delicious and the poached pears added that perfect fruit component. I got Liam as my server both times, he was helpful, attentive, had good suggestions when asked questions and didn't interrupt at all, amazing! This is the spot for any occasion!

Great ambience!! I came for a tropical themed party loved the vibe in the event space it connects…read moreto a long indoor patio area that has a fireplace! I think it was perfect during happy hour and then could turn off when the dancing started. Food: The jerk chicken egg rolls were huge and had great flavor. Also enjoyed the little sliders. The meat on the skewers was a super weird texture like almost a mushy bite maybe it was like a vegan meat I wasn't sure. The service at the bar was a bit slow at times there was two back there but the staff worked really hard at the end as the party went late and the staff was awesome cleaning up around us til the last minute so thanks for that!!! I liked the rum punch I had and the back space looked small but still fit a Photo Booth, the food table and dj table

We went back today and while it was still good, definitely wasn't as good as it was last time. The jerk chicken plate removed the beans, changed the rice, and got rid of the sauce so it wasn't as good though it was a bit less dry than last time. They also removed the Ropa Vieja from the menu which was our favorite. My husband had the Cuban sandwich and was not impressed. The fries with it were good. The drinks were still great. Service was friendly but slow (drinks, food, and waitress all slow). Another in our party got the blackened salmon which was really good. Unfortunately, I was so nervous they would remove or change the menu to be worse, which is a common theme I've noticed with 4 different restaurants by these owners now, so I was so bummed to see that's exactly what happened. Such a cool vibe, great drinks, and a really cool new patio - but the food needs a bit of work - bring back the Ropa Vieja and the better jerk chicken!

We ventured over here with some friends who knew the DJ curating the tunes that night. For a…read moreweeknight, it was getting pretty full by the time we strolled in, but luckily we were still able to secure a table for four. The space itself isn't terribly large, and it looked like there were only three or four people working that evening. After being seated, it took a while before we were able to order our first round of drinks. Normally I don't focus much on service in reviews, but we could immediately tell our waitress was not having a great night. We were forgotten about a few times, but eventually managed to order some small bites, including a charcuterie board and some pretty yummy cheese curds. When we finally caught her for our second round, I complimented her glasses since they were similar to mine, partially in an attempt to cheer her up. I was met with a glare and a mumbled "thanks." When she walked away, all four of us kind of looked at each other like... dang, we're not sure what we did. Having all worked in service ourselves, we try to be respectful, stack our dishes, wipe up after ourselves, and generally make things easier where we can. Oddly enough, when it came time to pay, she returned with a completely different attitude... suddenly cheerful, friendly, and telling us to have a great night. Honestly, the whole interaction was a little bizarre! Service aside, the cocktails were balanced and genuinely good, the food was slightly elevated and hit the spot, and the atmosphere was great, especially with the DJ playing that night. We decided to Uber since we knew we'd be drinking, so I can't speak firsthand to parking, although it looked like street parking could be moderately difficult depending on the night. I'd still go back if I were in the area and the night warranted it. My guess is we caught them on an off night or they ended up busier than anticipated.

I went here with my husband on a weeknight and we got a table right away. I immediately loved the…read morelook and vibe of the place. The low lighting and big windows were my favorite! It took a second to get our drink order in but we got the Sidecar and their version of The Last Word. We both thought the cocktails were good but nothing extraordinary. We would both go back but not running to go back.
