Olive or Twist-The Restaurant

Good cocktails and the blue cheese stuffed olives - super yum. Espresso Martini was good. Nice atmosphere.

We went to Olive or Twist on Saturday with another couple. We expected to be able to go upstairs where there are couches and more room. I would check with the restaurant ahead of time whether you can go upstairs or not. If you cannot go upstairs, the atmosphere is not enough downstairs to have a pleasant time. The food selection is very limited too. That said, the waitress was nice.

Olive or twist alwsys had good cocktails, liquor and beer collection, this is still true. The food & ambience has declined over the years. We had calamari, patty melt on rye and red pepper quesadilla. All of the food was average except the fries ( which I didn't order 😀, I had ordered tots. Didn't bother to correct the waitress). Overall, its an average place, there are much better choices around for food. If I have go back here I will go only for drinks.

Rented out the second floor to host a Welcome Party the night before our wedding. John was super easy to work with and the event went very smoothly. Our guests said they liked the food and the cocktails were good. We were also able to connect one of our phones up to the sound system to play our music. Overall, very good experience.

This review is being written directly after my experience on February 20th, 2022 at around 11:30 pm so that way the manager can pretty much figure out with one of his staff members needs a good talking to since I wasn’t able to get a name. This review is only for the waitress/bartender. She was absolutely amazing! The only reason why I don’t give it a 5 star is because the gentlemen/bartender who was a lot younger and had blond long hair and somewhat has a baby mustache tried to stop us at the door telling us we only left $10 as the bill, but was indeed the TIP. I left that tip only for the woman that took care of us, not for him. Maybe he should put two and two together before stopping us at the door. Never will return. I loved this place until he ruined the night for us. Way to go dummy! If the restaurant is so worried about customers running on a bill, TAKE their IDs until they pay! It’s not hard! It’s better than making yourselves look like total A$$e$! Now my family and I think the staff here are very racist! What did you want us to do? Would you rather have us leave without tipping?

Very nice place. Loved the fried pickle appetizer! Will be coming again!

Such a joy to work with! We booked a private party on the first floor of Olive or Twist the night before our wedding. We had a private buffet dinner for immediate family only, and then other wedding guests joined later for appetizers and cocktails. John was wonderful to work with! He was communicative, flexible, budget-conscious, and detail-oriented when planning with us. The food, drinks, and atmosphere were perfect for our event. As the bride/host, I felt like I could enjoy myself and visit with guests, as John and the staff ran the even so smoothly.
