    We went to breakfast there today and we had one meal that wasn’t cooked the best and the server and the manager were fantastic about it. They turned a not so great experience into an unforgettable experience. They were just fabulous and it just goes to show you what kind of place Olive and Ivy is, Top Notch! I wish I remember the name of the server and the manager. We will definitely be back!!

    We went for a work holiday dinner and had a great time. All of the apps we ordered were fantastic…the charcuterie board, the bacon wrapped dates and the pork belly. The star of the charcuterie board was the whipped feta!! My Crispy Chicken Burrata was fantastic, my husband said the pork tomahawk was a little dry. The vibe is great and service was excellent. We will definitely be going back.

    We loved the beautiful views and we had an excellent waiter. The portions were small for the price but the cost was worth it for the atmosphere. We would recommend it to others for special occasions.
