Great ambience and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Plenty of patio spaces with heaters for the adventurous in colder weather. Our reservation was ready at the stated time and the server provided great information on the menu and gluten-free options.

Came to Olivia to celebrate the new house we bought with my husband and parents. We love Olivia, the price is not for the faint of heart but the experience is always so wonderful. Staff are polite and attentive (without being annoying), my mom wanted some drink concoction that they didn't have the ingredients to make but the bartender took the time to whip up something custom that she ended up loving. Food is always exceptional start to finish.
