We were late for our booking, but still had over an hour for late afternoon drinks. We were constantly reminded that we had to be finished by 5.45 because there was another booking for this space. We were conscious to finish anyway, we had another event to go to ourselves. the last of our bottle was poured with 20 mins to go, but we then were reminded with the bill, then payment, then reminded again. We created a relaxed ambience for our group of 4, but the wait staff were just too too pushy about the time limit. Yes guys, we knew, and were finished before your deadline, - please just let us relax within your time limit. It took away from the ambience of this beautiful space.

I have dined and had drinks at Olivine on three occasions. Each time I hope the service will improve but after my third visit I feel compelled to write this review. I’m not sure if it’s the layout of the cells that makes the service so inattentive, just lack of staff, or just apathy. Whatever the reason, the service, sadly is terrible . I have brought local and interstate friends to Olivine to show off this gorgeous and unique bar. Wont be doing it again though as the service just doesn’t represent the great service I usually experience in the inner North.
