Olive & Sea - Fort Lauderdale (FL)

3 /5 Ryan Wilson: Olive and Sea is undeniably a beautiful restaurant with a stunning setting and atmosphere. The décor, views, and overall vibe make it feel like a special night out from the moment you walk in. Unfortunately, the service really missed the mark during my visit. It was slow, inattentive, and lacked the attention to detail you’d expect from such a nice establishment. While the environment was lovely, the disconnect between the setting and the level of service left me feeling underwhelmed. With some improvements in staff attentiveness and hospitality, this could easily be an incredible dining experience — but for now, it just doesn’t live up to its potential.

3 /5 Sejal: I was excited to try this place for happy hour but ran into a miscommunication that started the evening off poorly. I read online that the outdoor patio was included in happy hour, and the hostess seated us there but our waitress later said it wasn’t. The patio wasn’t even busy, so the situation felt unnecessary and frustrating. Once we moved to another area, we were finally able to order, and the vegetarian options were fresh and delicious. I’d consider coming back if the staff communicated in a more kind and clear manner to ensure a smoother experience.

5 /5 Sarah Carlton: We had such a wonderful dining experience here! From the moment we sat down, both our server Adriana and the male bartender serving us 8/26 made us feel so welcome. They were warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable—going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Their friendliness and care turned a simple night out into something special. The atmosphere was inviting, the service was outstanding, and we left feeling like valued guests. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and truly exceptional service!

5 /5 KimberlyJo Vaughan: I chose dinner at the bar with Brigitte, which was my first great choice. She steered me toward the Hangar Steak and it was the absolute best Ive ever had. Seasoned, charred, spiced, perfectly medium rare. And the Fries!!!! So light and creamy inside, equally light and crunchy outside! Wow! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
