I love the ambiance. Beautiful furniture and lighting. Soft jazz. Our waiter Monique was kind and attentive, not at all annoyed though we showed up 20 min before the lunch closing. Food was fine- I ordered the power salad which was mostly romaine and the toppings were sparse, no avocado (the online menu may have been out of date).

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!

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!!

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.

First time at Olive and Ira’s, my wife and I both had salmon. Mine was blackened with fingerling potatoes and broccoli, hers grilled with brussel sprouts and butternut squash. The highlight of the meal was the butternut squash. I don’t even like squash. I wish I could give a solid 4.5 stars for food. Cassie, our server, was GREAT. Very knowledgeable and transparent about our options. She did not steer us astray.

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!

My husband and I hung out here before and after dinner on our anniversary. Sam was our server and he was so sweet. He gifted us a chocolate torte for our anniversary. We haven’t had service like that in a long time. The cocktails (Smoked and regular Old Fashioned, Jalapeño Pineapple Margarita, and Espresso Martini) and desserts (Chocolate torte and Banana BrasPudding) were fantastic!

Absolutely loved the atmosphere. The beautifully designed room was something I wouldn’t get tired of anytime soon. Large floor to ceiling windows is a YES for me. What a great place if you wanna take a casual photo shoot (or upscale!). The food was okay – I ordered over easy eggs, breakfast potatoes, and bacon, a side of fruit, and a pineapple mimosa. Something that could have improved the mimosa is a pineapple garnish atop the glass. And the meal could have been elevated with a decorative plate, or maybe some peppered bacon, or a special sauce for the potatoes. Just a thought! The service was okay but 30 minutes before the resturant closed for breakfast and it showed a tiny bit. Overall, it was okay but I’m not sure if there was anything drawing me back to the resturant.

We really enjoyed our meals. The waiter was attentive and professional. We decided to keep it simple with a “Smash” burger and a Southwestern Chicken Melt, both were very flavorful and a good portion side. We also had the artichoke dip, which was tasty as well.

I think if you pay $60 for ribeye it should be done exactly how you asked for it and your veggies should not be burned in general I know that I probably will not be coming back here or recommending it to anybody. I understand that people make mistakes in the kitchen but when you charge $60 for a steak, you are expected to be good enough to not severely overcook that steak. Or burn brocclini to a char
