Fat Olives Restaurant & Catering

This place has a great ambiance. Very intimate but happening place. The customer service was top notch. My server (Dawn) was the best. Great interaction and was very helpful in selecting the meals and the wine to pair with. Will definitely recommend to my people.

Tried for the 1st time and was very pleased. The service was great, and the food was better. Stromboli was amazing.

It doesn't look great on the outside but inside the restaurant is a jewel. The food is great and the drinks are delightful.

A restaurant that sits you near the bathroom when there are so many other tables open. Ok when you order plain Pizza one does expect Mozzarella cheese especially when I specifically ask to leave off the Provolone ( who does that) cheese. Well when we got our pie it looked orange. Eating it tasted sour..so they admitted they put Gouda cheese instead. Seems likenthe chef ignored our request and made it worse. The only good part was the watress didnt charge us for our salad and one drink.

The food was terrible. Aside from Alfredo like paste, the chicken piece was awful. It had bones buried in pasta and Alfredo sauce. There was literally no taste, just chewy chicken and Alfredo glue sauce. I hadn't been back in years since my last terrible experience but friends said it was better. It is just awful. The staff was nice enough but I go for good food, not nice waitstaff.

Over cooked and chewy steaks, had to spit out the pork belly bites. Flavors were all over the place. Service was good. Would not go again.

A very casual place for some dinner. I dined in with them and the food and service was phenomenal. I ordered their Waygu Steak and for ordering it medium, it was a little tough. However, the sauce that they have served underneath it made the whole meal flavorful. The steak is served with Brussels sprouts and some sliced potatoes. The brussels sprouts were also a tad bit underdone (the reduction of one star on the food portion). Other than that, I would honestly have this dinner again. The flavor, presentation, and quality is there. That’s what makes me want to have this again. It’s a well thought out dish! For dessert, I had some of their chocolate cake, which was rich and on the creamy side. Service was fantastic as well. She made sure I was taken care of. I recommend you come and try Fat Olives and I myself, cannot wait to come back soon to try out the rest of their menu.

Potatoes were hard and undercooked, same for green beans, and steak was well done (should have been medium rare). I ate here before the pandemic and it was nice and the food was good. They did take away my plate and gave me another which was nice. But we tasted 3 plates that day and it was bad to mediocre. I want to say it is a microwaved Olive Garden but that is unfair to the Olive Garden.

Excellent specials: ling cod and tenderloin. Both great. Large wine list and interesting mixed drinks: I had a yummy pineapple margarita. Smaller restaurant so relatively quiet and great service, good parking. Decent size desert list. Not too busy at 530pm, so we got right in with no reservation. Will visit again.

If you want to buy a 30$ bowl of chimmi churri and have a numb mouth for the next hour, then go ahead and check out fat olives. Ordered their scallops and prawns, menu mentioned chimmi would be a part of the dish not the whole dish. Scallops were rubbery the two that I got as were the shrimp/prawns if that wasnt enough, the entire dish was slathered in the chimmi that was essentially vinegar and chilli flake. If a lower review was possible it would be here. Will not be back for any reason.

I would call this a hidden gem but I'm sure most people know about it already. We have only lived in the tri-cities for a couple years and it's slightly hard to find good dining our options when looking for something a bit nicer. We have found a couple and this one is right up there with the best we have found. If you are looking for a nice night out I can highly recommend Fat Olives.

A very strange experience. Very good food, high prices, small portions. Our server Brittany was very rude and disinterested in taking care of us. She wouldn't tell us the specials, went over the tap beer choices really fast and wouldn't explain what they were, when she brought our food to the table she didn't even know what the plates were, she brought the dessert choices to other tables but not to us, I could go on but you get the idea. This was our first time there, not sure if we will go back.
