We had dinner at Olives before our Cirque du Soleil show since both venues were located at the Bellagio.
We weren't seated near a window, like I'd requested when I made the reservation for three. Instead we were seated in the middle of the dining room with contagious excited energy stirring around us.
We shared:
-- Crab beignets: beignet was light & very crispy & filled with a sweet/savory crab filling. Topped with a delicate avocado sauce. Delicious!
-- shrimp encrusted mahi mahi: crispy fried shrimp sit atop firm, mild-tasting fish. Came with a bit of mushroom risotto.
--fig & prosciutto flatbread: I am a fan of thin crust pizzas so I loved that their menu has a variety of flatbreads. This one was a mix of salty from the gorgonzola cheese & prosciutto & sweet from the figs & fig jam. Crust was thin, but chewy & flavored with Rosemary. Try it!
Every dish was so sophisticated, so fancy in it's execution & presentation, as well as brimming with flavor. The bread basket came with a parmesan crisp & a chocolate bread that paired so well with their olive tapenade. We left with very happy mouths.
