It was fantastic apart from the fact that you had to always compete with the crowd of people that also want to eat there. I heard from a fairly reputable source that they closed their doors for good recently, but I would like to be wrong.

I love stopping here for a glass of wine or small appetizer. The charcuterie board is delicious and the outdoor seating is amazing.

Giving it three stars instead of five because the last time I went there, the service was very disappointing. Not sure if they had a management change, but it wasn't a positive change, whatever it was. The food, however, was excellent as always. It's a great place to sit down and have lunch. Roomy, lots of seating, clean.

Great looking spot, amazing food, friendly people. Would recommend to anyone.

Terrible service, took forever. The food was overpriced, microwaved, and they couldn’t change small things.

This place has gone way down hill. Unfriendly and incompetent person at the front counter. Only one person who could pour alcohol...waited 15 minutes and had to get my drinks myself. Not sure there is a manager ever on as it looks like a bunch of 20 somethings running it all. This used to me a great place but it is not the same. Save your money and go down the block./

So sad to see this place go from a solid 5 stars to 3. We used to live in WW while in school for a few years and now get to come visit once in awhile, and the atmosphere has declined since the bustling Olive we knew while in school not long ago. Food was still very good and pretty much the same as we remember. I have heard they have changed management in the last couple of months and i hope they take all of the advice and input posted on the last month or two. The front window is their storage area with music equipment and wires etc, the window is prime seating as well as advertising a nice ambiance for people outside. They were playing destiny child lol I feel like a Sara Bareilles vibe would be a better fit. They need some nice artwork on the brick wall too or some kind of beautiful focal point. I feel like it has always had great bones but these new owners need to create the right vibe and atmosphere to hopefully keep this gem of a place going.

This place has gone downhill. 40 minutes before I asked where our meal was and the had no idea why we had not got it. They lost two orders at our table. We used to go out of our way to eat here when we are in town. Not any more! And no apology. That's probably the worst part. Because the food isn't bad.

After a day of wine tasting with a large party we decided to just take some pizzas back to the house. We ordered 2 pizzas and a LARGE salad (emphasizing that it needs to feed at least 4-5 people, guy working there said he's got me). We pick up the pizza which 1 pizza was completely wrong and the salad was so small it barely fed 1 person. The pizza itself tasted like a crappy flat frozen pizza from Safeway. Safe yourself the waste of money and buy a digiorno

This meal was a shame! I have been coming here for about 8 years and today was truly a disappointment. It's the last time I'll ever go. What was one a cute, quaint and cozy little eatery has now fallen apart under new management. The food quality and presentation was definitely not worth the $100 price tag for our family of 4 to eat lunch. We are truly saddened to find that the "Olive" we have known and loved is no more.
Went to have breakfast on a Sunday at fall release. Waited in a long line with only one cashier. Waited another hour for breakfast. We were told that they didn't plan ahead with staffing despite it being fall release. They ran out of chiabatta and English muffins so both served on sourdough. Benedict came in with cold bread and slice of ham. Don't bother coming here.

New ownership...the recipes have changed!!! The olive is still a good place to go and sit down. It is still great food...but it it no longer great. I used to come in weekly or more often foe their amazing biscuit and jelly and a cup of coffee. It was buttery and delicious. Now it tastes like Crisco and the price has gone up. I couldn't even finish it.

About to walk out. They screwed up on our order and currently we've been waiting an HOUR for them to fix it. Watching people come and go. Noisy so we can't hear. All with a three year old. Will not be returning

trash coffee. trash service. Cappuccino I received was a cup of black coffee. When I went to ask for some cream I also received a very condescending response from the worker who made it. Definitely not made with love lol. Service here has really declined over the past couple of years. Spend your money and patience elsewhere.
