This is a restaurant that someone should try for the first time and definitely not the last! The specials were excellent! My wife enjoyed half the stuffed shrimp and saved the other half for excellent leftovers. My triple tail fish was better than flounder and is my new favorite. I can only imagine how many more dishes we will need to try! See you again but not soon enough.

This was our fourth or fifth visit to L’Olive. We have found it to be consistently excellent. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. They are friendly, efficient and polite. I can recommend the octopus salad and lentil soup appetizers, the lamb chops, Branzino and the steak au poivre are excellent main courses.

This is a fabulous restaurant! From the minute you walk in the door, you feel welcomed and that they are happy you chose them. The service was impeccable and the food was absolutely delicious! The chef came out to our table to meet us. We took friends and this has now become their favorite restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Staff were great, ambience was fine but most of all the food was excellent. All four of us had excellent meals and a fantastic shared salad. We've been here before but this time the experience was positively memorable.

Food was great as usual. Found the noise level high and the lighting was brighter than the last time we went a few weeks ago which spoiled the ambience for us. But still a good experience.
