Monday night at the Olive is like a drug.... once you try, you have to try again... and then introduce friends to it. Well, if the Olive is crack, then I'm a drug dealer and I have 2 new converts. (BTW folks, no drug use here.. but I got caught up in the analogy and went with it!)
I took 2 of my girls here last Monday night and, as usual, it was spot on. Barry was in his usual form (loved his rendition of Corrinne Bailey Rae's "Like A Star"...and his version of Marvin Gaye's 'Sexual Healing" was brilliant); and the food was still great (the lentil soup had a wonderful tanginess this time -- loved it!).
At one point, one of my girls started tearing up... and, no, it wasn't b/c of Barry's melodious voice. Rather, the hookah smoke was really getting to her. Now, I'm not as bothered by the smoke but, if you are, there are alternate seating options in the main dining area and in a separate pool room, where you can still here Barry's soulful voice.
Bottom line: GO -- you will love it!!
