Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Olive & Ira's offers a convenient location near the Orpheum Theater with a charming atmosphere. The standout dishes include "amazing blackened salmon" and "excellent brussels sprouts and asparagus." Guests appreciate the "perfect service" and the quiet dining environment. However, some found the pricing high and service occasionally slow.

    We arrived at our reservation time at 5:45 pm. Our waiter took our order at 6pm. Food was delivered to our table at 7 pm, so we literally had ten minutes to eat and get to the show at the Orpheum.

    Our server was amazing!!! He gave our grandson who just turned 5 extra attention!!! They had a good runner Tuesday night and that really improved getting the food to the table in a timely manor.

    We went for Thanksgiving dinner because we were in town from Tennessee visiting our daughter who is here working a travel nurse contract. Approx $50 per plate. We had 3 people. The food was ok. Turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole apple pie for dessert. Turkey was good, stuffing tasted like stove top stuffing, green bean casserole was soggy. Cranberry sauce was chopped up canned jelly. The apple pie looked delicious, but was frozen. Had a hard time cutting it with a knife, so I just gave up. Service was mid (we sat there with no silverware for our food for awhile) and gratuity was pre added to the bill. Definitely wasn’t worth $50 a plate. We debated on going to Cracker Barrel and wished we would’ve.

    Wasn’t worth the price. It was their set thanksgiving menu. The meal was $48 each, prepaid with gratuity added.and we were shocked at how small the portions were. Maybe a couple bites of each side. It wasn’t busy at all and we’re surprised my father didn’t get his drink he ordered and I had to go to the bar and ask for it when I noticed the bartender was just polishing glasses. My mother and I both had upset stomachs later in the day as well. Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant/hotel “experience “ as they call it.

    We made reservations on Thanksgiving for standard seating, not the Thanksgiving meal offered. When we arrived, the waitress asked if we wanted the standard menu, which we said we did. The managwer them come over to tell us they were only serving the Thanksgiving meal. We specifically made a reservation with them because they had both menus. This left us scrambling to find another place to eat.

    Our server was great, but the hostess who sat us came back and asked us if we were ready to order yet, as though to ask 'can you hurry up and order, eat and get out of here so we can sit someone else'. We were in no hurry, but there was no one waiting for a table, with several still open.

    We usually dine here before going to The Orpheum. Tonight’s service was spot on!!! It seemed they were fully staffed. The crew always tries their best but many times in the past they have been short staffed. I know they get slammed on nights the Orpheum and tonight they were ready with a full staff!!

    Thank you for your positive feedback! Olive and Iras staff have been working hard on always making sure guests have a wonderful experience when visiting. We hope you come back soon!
