    Very very nice.. Service was excellent and you were able to get whatever you needed. A bit pricey, found out it’s a fairly new hotel. Yes… very nice.

    A welcome addition to the area! What a beautifully designed space! Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding and the chef accommodated my allergy. Expect to pay NYC prices with drinks going at $21 and entrees at $44 and above. While expensive, we felt it was a wonderful and delicious dinner.

    We went to Olivet for their advertised “Savor & Save Monday,” a prix fixe : 3 courses, 2 options each, $52.95++. No employee knew what we were talking about when we arrived. There were no printed menus for the promotion, no QR codes, nothing. We had to pass a personal cell phone around the table for perusal & ordering, each guest viewing a Facebook event that detailed the menu. Cocktails were fine, but expensive. $17 - $25 each. In Swiftwater. In May. On a Monday. The food was very good- fantastic flavors & seasoning, truly delightful. Great portion sizes, tender proteins, lovely presentation, everything fired to the desired temp. Desserts were also tasty, a feat for any restaurant. The bread was excellent, but sparse. When the table ordered more, we were told there was a small fee for additional bread. “No problem,” we said. This is commonplace for fully half of the restaurants I frequent: a $2-$3 charge for more bread. Olivet: $8.00. For five slices of bread. Again: high for the area, the season, the day. The wine was awful. Awful. White wines served warm. The incorrect red wine served and it was so, SO bad. No one could finish a glass, despite the modest pour. Service was very strange. We had a friendly server, but she rarely came to our table. We had to beg for water, no coffee or tea offered, and we waited and waited and waited for each course. We are grateful for the indulgence of separate checks, alas: they arrived on one tray, stacked up, for us to distribute. Which was confusing considering everyone had a “prix fixe” as their food choice. When we sorted it out, the change and CC slips returned to us also stacked up, for us to sort out. When you’ve added an automatic 20% gratuity to all bills (not just the separate checks, but the singular bar bill from our pre-dinner drinks), patrons shouldn’t work so hard to give you their money. Note: we were only a party of 5. We will not return: bad wine, slow service, and the strange ambiance=not for us.

    Fantastic new establishment. Dining with my wife for Mothers Day was an unexpected delight. The cuisine was so delicious that I almost ordered a second entree! The restaurant is elegant, the ambience is very relaxing, especially outdoors, and relaxing by the fire pit and a very inviting rocking chair was the perfect wrap-up. Looking forward to bringing friends on our next visit.

    Ordered a medium rare steak and it came out well done. Otherwise the service was great and the other food items were delicious.
