A busy Saturday, we were seated immediately at our reservation time. Fantastic service w staff very knowledgeable of the dishes. Everything from our mushroom risotto to the creme brulee was excellent. Fun atmosphere too. Definitely recommend.

Food was cooked very well and tasted great, but I didn’t really care for the choices on the winter menu.

I am bragging on the entire experience! The food was excellent (mushroom crostini, arugula salad with apples, etc. and mushroom risotto with grilled prawns) as was the service and atmosphere. Stopped in for a late lunch after a busy day at court. 10/10!

(7/10) Nice atmosphere, great service, but unexceptional food.
After visiting San Morello recently, I decided to try Olin situated next door. Based on the menu, Olin appears to be elevated Americana. Before I get into any critique, I want to stress what they are doing well: from the moment I walked in through the time I left the staff and service was excellent. They have chosen the right team. The atmosphere was also pleasant. The food, however, was mediocre. We tried only the dishes recommended by the staff: the Olin Burger, Branzino, and the Waffle Bread Pudding. The presentation on the food was mostly done with care -- I say mostly because the dessert had burnt pieces on it. The food was NOT bad. It just wasn't that good, lacking depth, relative to the cost and dining experience projected. I would not necessary sway people from going here, but for similar cost, a more elevated atmosphere, you may wish to try San Morello. I hope the menu and kitchen makes some pivot, because the staff was excellent and I want them to succeed.

Stopped in a couple weeks ago to grab dinner with some friends and had the best meal I’ve had in a long time! The food was fantastic and the service was even better. Our server Shannon was knowledgeable on the menu and was attentive to our needs. Even the General manager Adrian stopped by a few times to make sure we were taken care of and had drinks in our hands. As a life long hospitality professional, it is great to see management present on the floor helping their staff and ensuring the BEST guest experience. They both had fantastic recommendations on the menu and we left very happy!

Had dinner with some friends last Thursday. Hands down some of the best food we've had! The mushroom risotto could make a girl cry! Awesome options for gluten free diets like mine. The manager Adrian was incredibly knowledgeable in the menu and what I could and could not have. Awesome food, awesome service, awesome management! 10/10!

Shannon was our server and she was impeccable! we weren't sure if our last two were going to show up and she rolled with the punchs and was very accommodating when they finally arrived. the bartender, Elliott made me delicious mock tails when I didn't want to drink alcohol. also the manager, Adrian was so helpful and checked in on us multiple times! My favorite dish was feta wontons!

Very disappointed. We came here for our anniversary and the food was very disappointing. Our waitress was kind. Long wait for drinks. I don’t typically review so that should speak volumes.

We ordered the pumpkin gnocchi, as our waitress Gabriella suggested, and it was so delicious!

Service and atmosphere were very nice. The food on the other hand was really really bad. Sent one meal back because it was cold. The second dish was just ok. For the price I expected much more. Very disappointed. Also made mention that it was my but there was never a mention of it. We arrived at 4pm on a Saturday, so it wasn't like they were swamped. Nice place for a drink at the bar, but that's it.

Great food and very lively atmosphere. Cocktails were on point. The crispy potato bravas were fantastic, the aioli was top notch!! The only odd thing is how the kitchen works. We came in hungry and had hoped to have a cocktail and appetizer while we looked at the menu. Unfortunately, they only let you order all your food at the same time. Our server tried to explain why but it did not really make sense. That said, the bread and app came quickly after ordering and the food came at an appropriate amount of time after that. I was not overly upset but our server must have mentioned to the manager and he bought a cocktail and dessert for us. Overall, a very nice dinner out

Disappointed with the level of customer service. Had concerns around our entree and when we vocalized our concerns the manager, Adrian, could not have been more rude. He couldn’t care less about guest experience. Not quite sure who made the decision he’s qualified for his role but they should reconsider. Our tab for the two of us was $175 and due to food quality and customer service, I would say it was not worth it.
