Wonderful Place!
We arrived early for our dinner reservation and the hostess was very accomodating. The marinated olives, tapenade and tuscan flat bread they start you off with is so delicious and crunchy. The Soft Shell Crab dish I had was amazing, served with a spicy remoulade sauce and peas, bits of gammon over a tasty rice pilaf. We shared the Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake (seriously a chocolate fan's DREAM it was so delectable) and Apple Cinnamon Toast (which was just yummy). Plus they gave us tiny chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies with the check. Great service and great food!

Nice Italian eatery
Started off with a nice aray of breads and then we were served a bountiful wine selection. The wine was good, and the apps were better, crab n slab was fresh crab with a slab of tuna served with a whipped avacodo, delicious. The main course was filling and served creatively. The LI duck was very tasty and the Hallibut served with a strip of bacon, yukon gold potatoes and some cherry clams was savory. Finished it odd with a tower of chocolate their peanut butter snickers dessert was good and plenty big for two.

Really disappointing
We chose Olive's to celebrate a birthday yesterday due to the great reviews but whoever was cooking yesterday was just awful! One dish was completely inedible (the steak frites) and another (the crab cakes benedict) was over ham crumpets that were not cooked, and half of the the bread/muffin basket was not cooked (never before have I been served runny muffiins). I am rarely a complainer but this was so bad, I had to post this. I wish Todd English had a guest book on his website so he could know what goes on there.

Scene
Dark, noisy and beautiful people. Too bad the food is only mediocre. $29.00 scallop dish was returned-oversalted over the hill product. Clam tart was an ill-conceived clam pizza-Yuck! Great $12.50 martini and friandises with coffee are plusses.
