LOlive is my favorite restaurant of 2024. The quaint ambience inside with soft music is a treat. You are greeted warmly,seated quickly,time to relax,order,and eat the best fresh excellent food cooked by a Paris trained chef. When your reasonable Bill for all this arrives, you are pleasantly surprised.

Wow! With so few reviews we were a bit spectical of our dinner plans and boy did they impress us! We will absolutely return. Yes we randomly selected it on open table. For our party of 8, each of our meals and our 5 appetizers were all delicious. Presentation was good and flavor was perfect. The Bronzino tasted like I was eating it fresh in Puerto Rico! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
