    Too loud and being seated next to the door and being blasted with cold air everytime the door was opened was no fun. Most likely not coming back.

    The Stuffed Olive has a great Martini menu. I always enjoy the seasonal ones. The food is always prepared with great flavor. But the wait time for our drinks was very slow.

    Martinis always good! Food is just ok. Service is what is lacking. Our waiter was totally unaware walked by our table many times but never checked on us. Even when I tried to get his attention he did not notice. Drinks took a while to be served. Busy place and overall good vibes.

    Appetizers and drinks is where this shines. Had the brussel sprouts and crispy cauliflower and both were worth it. Need to go back and try the zucchini fritters. Dinner and dessert were ok but not amazing given cost. Great patio. Really enjoyed space. Inside was nice ambiance as well if it would have been too cold.
