Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Olive & Ira's offers a charming dining experience with "excellent service" and a beautiful ambiance. Diners praise the "amazing blackened salmon" and delightful drinks, though some find the menu pricing and portion sizes to be on the higher side. Perfect for a quiet evening, especially before a show at The Orpheum.

    Food has always been delicious! Today we dined on Caesar Salad (with Chicken) & Maude’s Garden Salad (with Chicken) . Both plates were large portions & satisfying but we were not overly stuffed. Our wait staff was friendly & timely.

    I have been dining there, before Orpheum shows, for over 15 years and have experienced many of the changes. I really enjoy the recent renovation. Our server today was awesome (which is not always the case). I am having a hard time with the increase in pricing (I know it is necessary.) I would like to be able to order a soup/salad/sandwich combo, or a charcuterie board when I am not very hunger.

    Food was very very sub par. I’m actually shocked. The service was great, and our server was very attentive, but I’ll probably never go back.

    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.

    Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the delay in service, and we understand how important it was for you to have enough time before your show at the Orpheum. We will address this with our team to improve timing and ensure a more efficient experience in the future. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better next time.

    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.
