About Olmsted

Olmsted is a restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and unique decor, known for its plants-adorned walls. The menu offers a variety of dishes, including a monkfish entree and a burger that comes with fries cooked in duck tallow, providing a healthier and tastier alternative to seed oils. The restaurant is praised for its creative use of ordinary ingredients, transforming them into delicious and visually appealing dishes. One example is the shaved zucchini featured in a pasta dish, showcasing the chef's skill in crafting unique sauces that elevate each meal. Substitutions are not allowed, and the burger is noted to be on the salty side. Other offerings include a green goddess salad and a duck banh mi served on a soft brioche-like bun. Standout dishes also feature grilled asparagus with waffle, rutabaga, and pumpkin kouign-amann. Olmsted has two beautiful garden spaces for dining and offers a kids menu. While the service is generally friendly and helpful, there have been some communication issues during busy times. Overall, the food quality is consistently superb, with many guests eager to return for the unique menu and fresh ingredients.
