About Purple Olive Restaurant & Catering

Purple Olive Restaurant and Catering is a cozy, upscale fine dining spot that offers a terrific dining experience. Known for its phenomenal dishes, every meal is a hit with customers. The beef tenderloin skewers, lamb chops, Gorgonzola crusted bone in pork chop, chicken parm, braised short ribs, ginger soy tofu, paella, scallops, and seafood are highly recommended. The chocolate bombe dessert is a dream-worthy treat, along with the key lime pie and creme boulet. The restaurant has a calm and quiet atmosphere, perfect for conversations, making it not suitable for noisy children. The wait staff is attentive and knowledgeable, with servers like Emmett ensuring everything is just right for guests. Guests enjoy the pris fix menu with shrimp bisque, house salad, mustard salmon, and chicken parm—all prepared perfectly. The bread board and olive appetizer are great starters, alongside the Brie and roasted olives. The prices are on the higher side but well worth it for the delicious food, pleasant ambiance, and excellent service. The artwork on the walls adds to the overall charm of the place. Located between Seafood Kitchen and Romano's pizza, parking can be tricky during busy times. Reservations are suggested and totally worth it. A must-visit spot that is highly recommended by loyal customers.

Our server took our drink order. The drinks came out pretty quickly. Then we decided to order the dip trio appetizer. It also came out in a timely fashion. The 3 dips were Tzatziki, Hummus, and Romesco. The dips were okay. There wasn't anything wrong with them. But, they weren't terrible.

Purple Olive never disappoints, offers a diverse menu of deliciously executed dishes, great staff and reasonably priced.

Fortunately, we made reservations for opening night at new location and the food was stellar! The renovations are lovely and bar area warm and inviting.

We started with a shared crab cake appetizer and pleasantly surprised. For our entrees we ordered the Mahi encrusted in macadamia nuts with a mango rum butter over jasmine rice with wok stir...read full review
