First impression was a very nicely decorated small Fancy Restaurant. We had reservations for 10 adults, and 3 children. They have a 20% tip automatically added for the size of our party. With the prices, and tip you expect excellent service! I asked the hostess for a booster or high chair for my 2-year old grandson. She brought a booster that might have been outside in the scorching August Tampa weather. Too hot for me to use, plus not restraining belt. So I asked for a high chair. She said I could use the booster. She went back to host stand looking like if she was held there against her will. Looked bored in this pretend to be fancy restaurant. I asked the waiter when he finally arrived for a high chair. High chair never came. After awhile I got up and got a high chair myself. It was put away dirty with crumbs all over. Only one high chair around so obviously they are not equipped or welcome kids. My husband and I were never asked if we wanted a drink. We were only served water. My husband found an opportunity to order a beer, I was not asked if I wanted something to drink. At the time of ordering they took all the orders in one side of the table. When waiter came to our side started retrieving the menus without taking our order. What!!! I thought we were not going to get a chance to order. I reminded the waiter that we were going to eat too. The background music was too loud. Looks like this have been a forever complain never addressed. It was unbearable for me. Funny thing when they were clearing the table the boss boy seems troubled on what to do with the dirty high chair. He spoke to a lady that looked like it could be another manager. Many managers for a small place that were not really managing. I’ll never say never, but the chance of me going back is very thin. My last impression is that they took a Burger King: Decorated the room fancy, changed the managers and staff uniforms. Change the menu, and voilà there is Olivia! PS: Recommend the owners to send mystery shoppers and check this place out. Unless they only want one-time visitors that will not return.
This place is a new favorite for me! For visit was for their brunch and then came back a week later for dinner to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Both times - food was amazing and service! Drinks are also amazing! Appetizers and Dessert! Great Wine also!
I can’t say enough about Olivia. The food is amazing. I’d like to call out Lindsey, the Assistant General Manager, for being so accommodating to my daughter and I today for brunch. She made my entire day and I needed to share it. The service is always top notch but today was above and beyond. If you haven’t been yet definitely plan for it. You won’t be disappointed!
One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. ?The crust was perfectly cooked and the nice combination of Italian ham and honey was perfect on it.I would have liked to try more appetizers they serve on a tower, like a sampler, but our waiter pretty much shamed us into not ordering, saying that it would be too much food for two people. And then we hadn’t even ordered the main course when he came to ask if we wanted dessert ??♀️Anyway, maybe he was having an off day but this is a really really nice place. The atmosphere is so happy and inviting, the decor as well. Everything we ordered was delicious, including the cocktails. We should have ordered dessert too, but I swear the waiter would have judged us?, we we just asked for the check and left. Will definitely go back though ?
Steven our server was fantastic, in depth knowledge of all menu items and drinks. It was a pleasure being served by him. My Halibut was delicious, my wife had the shrimp and scallops, she liked it but she said the shrimp were overcooked. Her corn risotto was very good. She asked for a Togo box but it was never brought to us and we didn't remember until we got home. The appetizers were very good.All in all a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant was a little loud but thats a flaw in design, brick walls high ceiling industrial look. We will definitely come back
Everything is good. We did the olive plate, Rigatoni w meatballs, pizza and drinks. And the apple desert. The staff is excellent. You pay for quality and it’s worth it. 100% recommended.
I went here with my boyfriend for his birthday and it was amazing!! The service from our waitress was A+ she had good recommendations, knew every detail from the menu, and was so kind. We even came back for brunch the next day. I sincerely didn't love my dish (the omelet) but the pizza and the truffle fries are so good. Definitely we will be coming back when coming to Tampa.
When great food meets fantastic hospitality. The attention to detail is easily noticeable from the minute you walk in. The drinks were carefully crafted and the food was spectacular. Carmen is a class act and really cares about the experience of the patrons. Our waiter Bill was an absolute gem. Thank you Olivia for a wonderful evening.
Food was amazing. Our waitress (I don't remember her name) was absolutely great. She was down to earth and relaxed but professional and on top of everything. I didn't care for the ravioli but I am not a huge fan of ricotta so it was a risk on my part. The breaded chicken was absolutely amazing though. I will definitely be coming back soon!
Hands-down one of the best restaurants in Tampa…Atmosphere, service and the food is top notch. Starting from when we walked in, to being seated, to ordering, felt like i was in a different area. I cant thank their team enough for everything and making our anniversary memorable!
