  • The best word I have to describe Oliva is meh. That pretty much covers it. Meh. The decor, the food, the service was just meh. We decided to drive across town to try Oliva. My husband was craving Mediterranean and there unfortunately aren't many moderately priced good Mediterranean restaurants in this town. (Someone please remedy this ASAP). But I see they served Italian as well so why not. We got seated right away and our waitress was very sweet and new in her job. We ended up ordering some wine. I'm always curious to see what kind of pours restaurants give you. I had the same wine for the same price at a different location last weekend and the pours were vastly different. Oliva was definitely on the weak side. I despise cheap wine pours. Then our waitress brought us the only highlight of the entire experience...the bread. It was light and warm and great with olive oil. I ordered the cannelloni and my husband, who had planned to order the beef shish kebab changed his mind and ordered the special of a lamb shank. We both opted for the red lentil soup instead of salad because we are suckers for a great lentil soup. When it arrived, well let's just call it the Tale of Two Soups. My soup was all liquid with a scant amount of lentils on the bottom. I assumed this was the soup. I didn't see my husband's because a water glass was in the way. He happened to notice what I was eating and was shocked. He moved the glass and showed me his soup. It was completely different. Thick and loaded with lentils. Side by side they looked like completely different soups. Because we had to wait so long for the soup and wine we figured dinner would be awhile. But to our surprise, our dinner arrived within 3 minutes of us getting our soup. That immediately said to me....microwaved. Yep...the plate and food was screaming hot. Even at home, you know you don't get food like that unless it was microwaved. My cannelloni was rubbery with filling that was flavorless and tomato sauce that was too sweet. My husband's lamb shank was better with really tender meat but it severely lacked salt. He wished he would have stuck with his original decision of the kebabs. Too bad over all. We like to try new restaurants but the food and decor seemed soulless. I think it they would concentrate more on the Turkish side of the menu, it would actually work. I was really hoping this restaurant would deliver but sadly it didn't.
