| - For two people that hate olives, my boyfriend and I loved Olives.
The service was SPECTACULAR and it made everything that was already great so much, much, much better. The best drinks I had during our week in Vegas were here. They were the first drinks we had here too, which should be noted. Very tasty...
Our server was honestly so great that I wish I could remember his name. Brian said he was hitting on me, but I so don't think so. He was just a very nice and authentic guy in a very strange and shallow town.
They bring out some olive purees, relishes and stuff, but since we don't love that we had some butter and an alternative dipping sauce that was much more to our liking. The breads were good and sour. We especially liked the one with onion on the top.
For lunch, we had pasta. I had one with clams and sausage in a spicy red sauce that the waiter recommended. I ate every last bite. It was totally, totally good. I almost got carried away and ate all of Brian's too. His had a more alfredo-type sauce with a bunch of bacon. Both dishes, I have to say, were superb.
Everyone is talking about how great the ambiance was, but I think that was the weakest aspect of the dining experience at Olives. Brian complained that the table was too small (he's a tall guy) and too close to the other tables. He also stated that it was a little on the pricey side. One positive aspect was that I could see the Dior boutique from my table. Eff the fountains, show me some handbags. Oui!
By the end of our lunch, I was completely drunk and full and happy. I have nothing but love for Olives. I wanted to go to this place a second time during our stay but Brian said no. But we'll be back on our next visit. I loved it. S.W.A.K.
