  • Recently reopened from a year of being closed down. Olives is a very large, trendy restaurant and bar not far from the Saddledome. They have new investors and appear to have left the Hotel Art's group - and that seems to be working for them thus far because some of the issues seem to have minimized. Their menu is upscale with a dressy or business casual ambiance. They must still be working on their menu because it's changing fast and furiously and it seems different on each return trip. Last trip the cocktail menu and many of the appetizers were brand new. For the new cocktail menu, I tried a bubble gum flavored one, a blood orange one and a santorini. The tastes are very accurate to their descriptions which means when it says bubblegum it tastes like chewing gum which made it too sweet in my books and I wish I hadn't ordered it. I was in a pit of an experimental mode that night so I didn't find a new favorite cocktail but they did have a fun new menu. Their wine selection is quite nice, a number of options that go from reasonable priced to highly rated selections I'd like to compare what I've eaten with the current menu to tell you what is good (and remind myself what it was I ate!) but the website it currently under construction. From what I remember: I have had an appi that are basically rice and cheese with volcano sauce (wow... they shouldn't hire me to market ... it sounds much better on the menu!) and they were delicious. It comes with 2 small balls so you can share - but it's a bit expensive for what you're getting but I would order again. The cheese platter of theirs is a nice selection and I quite liked it also. The mushroom risotto is delicious and it's either changed or I was misinformed when I tried it but it's not vegetarian - it has a chicken base. That makes me very sad... but if that doesn't matter to you, this is wonderful. I've also tried some kind of mushroom and cheese pasta dish - which felt quite heavy in my tummy and I wouldn't rush to get again. Good but a little fatty/rich for me. I haven't had enough room to try desert on any of my visits.... one of these days! A lot of comments are about the speed - and it's true, this is still not a fast place to eat - but the food makes up for this (at least it does now if there was issues before). If it's before a major concert or sporting event, make sure you give yourself LOTS of time. There is a major lack of quality food in and around the stampede groups and this place is insane. I'd say budget about 2 hours - if that's too long, eat elsewhere.
