Tried the chef's choice. To much delicious food. So happy a friend found this place
Great restaurant. Everything was delicious.
I took my girlfriend here for her birthday. We got four different dishes which were perfect for two people to share. The food was amazing! The tiramisu was also delectable. Highly recommended.

Dolly Olive is a Portland staple known for its excellent food and friendly service. The restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere, although the entrance can be a bit confusing due to a large curtain right inside. The menu features tapas-style ordering for dinner, with highlights including the short rib arancini and house-made pasta with prawns, which many diners have found amazing. The heirloom tomato dish with focaccia is also a must-try. The Stappi Sunrise cocktail is fantastic, and the cocktails overall are well crafted and tasty. While the ribeye is delicious, some have noted that the chicken can be dry and the unique Panna Cotta dessert is missed by a few. The space can feel tight, with tables close together, leading to some uncomfortable moments during meals. However, brunch is a delightful experience, with everything shared making the meal fun and varied. Reservations can help with seating, and the informed service adds to the enjoyable experience. Although it can be hard to get a reservation, it is often worth the wait for a fantastic meal. Overall, Dolly Olive is a gem that offers a nice, quiet place to relax and enjoy a wonderful evening.
