Great dinner - zucchini fries were awesome! The chef also accommodated a request I had after they ran out of another ingredient. Much appreciated! Waiter was very friendly. Outdoor patio was perfect dining atmosphere.

Love it all! Sometimes walking in is awkward if the hostess isn't there, but the food is delicious!

We stopped in mid-afternoon for a break and some light bites. What a lovely place. Willy took great care of us and we enjoyed our basket of fries, Za’atar flatbread, wine and beer.

Just wonderful food served by an amazing waiter, Marcus. The great food is guaranteed but luck is needed to get Marcus. Hope you get that combo!!

Great meal, service and atmosphere. Had pizza (arugula), salad (beets/gorg) and dessert (chocolate cake). All were delicious and reasonably priced.

Food’s fantastic! This is my third visit, and I brought five new friends along this time.

Unfortunately, the service was lacking. I was a little disappointed, especially after hyping up the restaurant. I get that servers have a lot on their plates, but every time our server came by, she seemed rushed and like we were an inconvenience. I expect that at Olive Garden, but it was a surprise at Los Olivos.

I bought a $160 bottle of wine and tipped $20 for the help. But when it came time to bag the bottle, the staff member just laid the bags down and stared at me. I asked, “Am I supposed to put the bottle in the bag?” and he said yes.

I’m hoping this was a one-off experience because I really do like the food. But I’ve found other places nearby where both the service makes me feel welcome.

To be clear, I don’t expect service staff to bend over backward or put up with bad behavior, but it’d be nice not to feel like an inconvenience at a restaurant in this price range.

Try the food, but maybe don’t set the bar too high for service. And wait for the service before tipping.

Fantastic food, great service. Monday lunch vibe is a bit flat but would probably be like that for most establishments in the neighborhood

It had a large menu and ample portions. Also, many different wines for sale plus a large display of gifts to purchase. A nice outside patio as well. A good choice.

A great place to visit! Dog friendly outside seating available. I always finish the meals here with a affogato and have never regretted it.
