    Great date night spot! Super chill relaxing ambience, amazing views and food was excellent - plus plus free valet - Restaurant is on the 2nd floor via elevator - Heads up - 20% gratuity is already included on all checks I had this place bookmarked in my Date Night Collection for at least a year! My boss coincidentally came here last weekend and told me about it - I was like ohhh! I've been wanting to go there! I made a reservation via their website (open table link) for a 5pm seating and put outdoors in my request. Upon arrival in the parking lot, we went sure where to park so I asked the hotel valet and they pointed out that the restaurant valet was just east of their entrance so we did a quick turnaround and sure enough there it was. Imagine my surprise when they told me it was free! We handed over the keys and made our way to the doors - and then to the elevator to the 2nd floor which opens up right to the restaurant lobby - We were seated promptly at a great table with a beautiful view! Our server was very nice - For the life of me, I can't remember her name but I believe it was something like Elena? She took our drink order and a few minutes later our appetizer order - We continued to enjoy our meal, ordering add'l drinks and our entrees. Apps Charred Octopus - he enjoyed but said it was a bit dry Halloumi - delish dips and cracker bread - very good Entrees Faroed Salmon with orzo - he liked this a lot Fried Artichokes - so good - This is an app but I had it as my meal with a side of the Za'atar fries Za'atar Fried - these were so good! Dessert bread pudding with pistachio ice cream - pretty good:) We will definitely be back!

    The waitress was very nice but seemed disorganized. She disappeared after we received our entrees. We sent our bourbon Old Fashions back and ordered a beer instead. The Old Fashions terrible. The food was quite good however. We ordered the feta pizza and Greek salad. The view was amazing. Note that every check draws a 20% automatic gratuity and parties larger than 6 people pay 22%. This is written in tiny print on the bottom of the menu.

    Had a lovely time at Olive and Sea. The food was delicious and our server, Ashley, took his time explaining the different items on the menu. The grilled halloumi was so so so yummy! I highly recommend.

    Filet kabobs were really good. The house bread was good but needed oil or dipping sauce. Couscous was served cold but had good flavor. Service was ok. Great location.
