What a wonderful dining experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxing meal. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The Mediterranean sampler was fresh and delicious, with creamy hummus, flavorful dips, warm pita, and crispy chips that were perfect for sharing. The pesto pasta topped with shrimp was absolutely amazing—cooked perfectly and packed with fresh flavors. The calamari was crispy, tender, and seasoned just right. To top it all off, the crème brûlée was the perfect ending to the meal, with a rich, creamy texture and a perfectly caramelized crust. The drinks were refreshing, the service was attentive and friendly, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. You can tell that great care goes into both the food and hospitality. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a welcoming atmosphere. I will definitely be back! 🍽️✨🫒🍸

It was my first time visiting Olive Restobar. I went with my partner and we were seated quite quickly for a Saturday afternoon. I really like the atmosphere of the restaurant. It's a chic upscale-casual with a lively bar area. We ordered a handful of different items. For our appetizers, we got the Sweet and Spicy Shrimp and the Cold Mezza. The shrimps were jumbo shrimp in a spicy honey that was super flavorful. The Cold Mezza consists of hummus, spicy hummus, loaded labneh and yogurt & cucumber. I love that they serve fresh fluffy airy pita bread to the table so you can dip it into the different spreads. Labneh has a strong flavor similar to cream; it is a creamy tangy Middle Eastern strained yogurt. I love all the different spreads, especially the spicy hummus. For our mains, we ordered the Olive Lamb Shank which was absolutely delicious. They braised the lamb in a red wine and herbs and served with a roasted garlic mash. It is a very rich and flavorful dish. We also ordered the King's Lunch. This is a show-stopper. Ribeye steak kabob grilled medium rare with peppers and onions. It is served with a classic chimichurri and a side of Mediterranean salad. The ribeye is a melt-in-your-mouth tender and super juicy. It's got a rich and smoky flavor and tastes great with the chimichurri. This is a must-order item! The last 2 things we ordered were the Marscapone Tiramisu and the Pistachio Ricotta Cheesecake. The tiramisu is a classic coffee-forward dessert that melds both the coffee and smooth marscapone cheese cream. It is very airy and light. The Pistachio Ricotta Cheesecake was our favorite. It has multiple layers including a smooth ricotta cream and flavorful pistachio cream. There are layers of sponge cake and it's also topped with crushed pistachio which adds to the whole dessert. It's fluffy, airy and not too sweet. Both items are house-made Italian-inspired desserts. A wonderful experience at the Olive Restobar. Our server, Brooke, was lovely. She was friendly and checked in on us quite frequently. Special mentions to Gio as well for the great food experience. The Olive Restobar is located in a pretty busy plaza, so make sure to go earlier to find a spot. Immaculate vibes, delicious food and great company.

We had such an amazing time here, the food is amazing (beef/filet mignon/ny steak) are all seasoned perfectly and superb soft it melts in mouth! We also got appetizers the calamari and deviled filet mignon have a great spicy kick to it that’s addicting. King kabob platter - just wow. Never seen presentation of a plate like this served out onto table this is amazing love the flavoring and the potatoes are delish. The creme brûlée and tiramisu are a great way finish off the meal!! The non-alcoholic drink variety they have is amazing as well! Servers are friendly and welcoming, we’re definitely going to visit here again!!

I had a wonderful experience today when I came in to eat some delicious Mediterranean food. I love that the menu had plenty of options for everyone’s palette. Service was amazing, atmosphere was great with live music and such of an outgoing ambiance. Perfect for celebrations, girls dinner, date night and a happy family meal. I had the salmon seviche which was so fresh and served with crispy chips. Drinks are yummy and super pretty plus they are strong without being over powering on the alcohol. This is definitely I place I would come back to to try more items from their menu! Also vey clean restrooms, this restaurant also offers outside and inside seating options. At a great location next to a movie theater.
