My wife and I stopped in for breakfast at Olive and Ira’s and really enjoyed it. Monique was welcoming, took great care of us, kept the coffee coming, and made some solid recommendations. The food came out fast and was even brought to the table by Missy, the cook, who was super friendly. The vegetarian omelet with fried potatoes and a biscuit was fantastic. Definitely a spot we’d come back to!

We were late to our reservations & called to let them know. They were very accommodating on keeping our reservation. Sam was our waiter (only waiter) on Christmas Day & did a fantastic job. My S/O food came out lukewarm warm & they were happy to warm it up & offered us free dessert. We chose to opt out of dessert as we were full so Sam comped my Wine. Highly recommend this restaurant and please ask for Sam!

Olive & Ira’s was the perfect place to have a post-Orpheum birthday dinner! The pretzel sticks were delicious, the moscato was perfect, and my filet was cooked PERFECTLY to order. Our server Sam was exceptional and handled a busy show crowd better than anyone else could have! He made us feel so special and even put birthday candles into our blueberry bread pudding (which was DIVINE). 5 stars for sure!!

The food was amazing - this is the cutest place and the drinks were incredible - overall truly a great experience. We went because it was close to the orpheum - and we will definitely go back!

A little short staffed I'm glad we went early, the food was really good but service was slow. PS I will go back.

Only ones there. Staff were surprised we had a reservation. Food was decent, but came fast. Typical breakfast food

Really nice atmosphere and helpful staff. The food is consistently tasty ; filet mignon and Parmesan asparagus really stood out. Sam the waiter was friendly and professional. Timing was great.

The absolute worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. We had tickets for the 6:30 pm show at the Orpheum theater, which they were aware of when we made our 5:00 PM reservation. We ordered by 5:20 pm latest, and three of the five people got their food set down in front of them at 6:10 PM and the other two people got their food at 6:18 PM. I literally shoveled a few bites down before we had to run out of there. The manager could not have cared less, in fact, she even walked away from my friend who went to speak to her about what was happening. Horrible, horrible experience. Would not recommend this restaurant to anybody.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. The best steak I've had in years. The staff was amazing. Everything was perfect. We celebrated our 24 year anniversary and they made it an evening to remember. Will definitely be back.

Food was good. Not enough wait staff for that evening. Wait person forgot about us, was having to cover to many tables .

The waiter was very sweet-BUT so busy we couldn't get refills-- so I got them myself. The food was over cooked- cold and tasteless. It is handy to go here with my aging mother and walk to the Orpheum. Very nice people- just wish the food was better.

I stayed for one night at the Magnolia Hotel. I stopped in for a drink at the bar and was served by Sam! Sam was attentive, made great drinks, and recommended restaurants and nightlife venues.

Our server Sam was engaging, hard working and just plain fun. He worked the whole room like a master, taking orders, busing tables, fetching drinks and food. He was amazing! The food was great too. We shared the tomato bisque and I had a wonderful grilled chicken salad and my husband had a Reuben. There were so many gluten free options and in highly recommend this restaurant. Would definitely go back again.
