| - Olive's is a fantastic restaurant, exactly what you'd expect from Todd English. The flavors are somewhat mediteranean and they've got a great menu. Their cocktails are fabulous, I love their white peach belini and my husband is crazy about their dirty martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. The bread basked comes with fresh baked onion foccacia and two kinds of olive tapenade. They have some really good apps, including a great ahi tartare and some really nice flatbreads (one with proscuitto and figs, another with mushrooms, and a great classic tomato-basil-mozarella). Favs on the dinner menu include the scallops (perfectly seared, served with risotto), the butternut squash tortellini, and the chestnut ravioli (served on a bed of creamed spinach-heavenly!). Do not skip dessert here- they have a souflee that is crazy good. Flavors change but the strawberry is incredible, so is the vanilla. My husband and I order two, that's how delicious they are. Service here is always great, very attentive. I recommend sitting on the patio, it's much more private and has a beautiful view of the Bellagio fountains and water show. Definitely make reservations or you could be waiting 2 hours for a table.
