| - I had made reservations at Olives for my friend's birthday because she's never seen the water show at Bellagio, and what a better way to see it than from your dining table on the patio overlooking the entire lake? I had booked reservations for 5pm but we were running late, and I called the restaurant to let them know and they were totally ok with it. When we got there I requested patio seating and it wasn't a problem at all, which was great because I was worried that we wouldn't get one based on reviews. You can't reserve specifically where you sit via phone/web, you have to ask when you get there. Thank goodness for us they had one available!
Because it is summer and weather in vegas is ridiculously hot, they had mist things on outside, so you get a little damp from the water. but i think that's ok cuz i'd rather be a little damp and cool than sweating my ass off.
When we were seated the waiter immediately came over to take drink requests and with our menus. He was super friendly and courteous, which I appreciated very much. He was quick to bring us our drinks and the bread with olive tapenades, which were AMAZING. He was helpful with deciphering some of the items on the menu as well, and when we ordered, was quick to bring out our food. Just so efficient! And when our food came out the water show was going on so we didn't touch our food yet, and he came over concerned that there may be something wrong with our food that we weren't happy about and wanted to know if there was anything he could do! He was truly the best.
So, my friend and I shared the Tempura-Fried Soft Shelled Crab, the Fig & Prosciutto Flatbread, and Parmesan fries. All were delicious. I'm not a big fan of crustaceans, but the Crab was amazing! The flatbread was a little too salty for my taste, but still delicious nonetheless. The fries were good as well. My other friend ordered the Ricotta Ravioli, which seemed good as well.
Because I had informed them that the dinner was for a friend's birthday, they came out with a trio of truffles for her at the end of our meal, with "happy birthday" written in dark chocolate on top. So beautiful! the three truffles were placed on top of caramel sauce, and i think they were key lime, peanut butter and jelly, and dark chocolate. We each sampled one and they were SO GOOD.
Overall, an excellent experience. The staff was great, food was great, ambiance was fabulous. I can't wait to go again =)
