Purple Olive Restaurant & Catering

I don't know why it took me so long to let my fiance drag knew this place, but I should have come here way sooner. I was blown away and Emmett guided us through the menu and made our evening spectacular

Arrived at 5pm on Friday without a reservation. They were able to seat us and Dana was our server. We had the bread board and the olive appetizer. Both were great. We enjoyed the pris fix menu shrimp bisque, house salad, mustard salmon, braised short rib, creme boulet and key lime pie. All prepared perfectly and delicious. Nice portions. Excellent service. Fairly busy place.

After hearing so many positive reviews, was glad to finally try it first-hand. From the hostess to the servers, everyone there was very friendly and gave us great service. We enjoyed the Shrimp Bisque soup, Salmon and Chicken Parm. Looking forward to going back again!

Incredible food and top notch dining and catering service. The best of the best in a city known for its dining and catering.

Some of the best food in the area BY FAR! On vacation visiting from Charleston, South Carolina and could not stop talking about how we would drive the 5 hours to get dinner here! Our server Cheryl was spot on with the recommendations as well as with her service! 10/10 recommend and we WILL be back!

Spent the weekend in St Augustine area with some family and she likes this place so we went for dinner, It was more of a higher end nice for a date night or first date kind of place. Great service. Nice portions nice looking place in a strip mall. Next our to a pizza place and a Hurricanes grill, We went with the Ahi Tuna dinner with was tasty and fresh
Also went with the Paella seafood with chicken and sausage. Unfortunately, they were out of clams, so none in the meal, only muscles and shrimp. chicken and fish. and Chopped up sausage. Could not tell what kind.
There was not much flavor in the pallela, but the Ahi Tuna was great! We started with a shrimp bisque, just ok needed more shrimp but tasty and a nice salad.

Dana was a great server and food is great. Chocolate dessert was great.

Had a fabulous lunch here yesterday with friends. The food was outstanding: I had one of the best pasta bolognese I've ever eaten! And the key lime pie was perfect. Love the small plate option. We were served by a very knowledgeable woman who was funny too. Too bad I live in West Palm Beach. But I'll return!

Absolutely love Purple Olive. The food is always amazing and they have lots of gluten free options! I love the braised short rib and the dijon salmon. Both are incredible. We also love that they have gluten free desserts! My favorite restaurant in St. Augustine!

Very delicious !!!!!

Purple Olive was the caterer for our wedding and we could not have been happier. Peter was communicative with us leading up to the wedding day, and was always there to answer our questions. He also gave us honest input on ideas we had and how we could best make our vision work for our big day. The catering staff and bartenders were professional, friendly and helpful all throughout the wedding. We had multiple guests come up to us throughout the night and afterward to tell us how friendly they all were. Not to mention, both the food and drinks were absolutely amazing. We 10/10 recommend Purple Olive!
