Whether hopping off the Water Taxi for a quick coastal cocktail, convening with friends for happy hour, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking to enjoy an exquisite dining experience and sweeping Intracoastal views, Olive and Sea is a must-sea-and-taste destination.

We were seated at a table with a low banquette, which was uncomfortable as the table was high. When we requested to switch to a table with chairs, our request was denied. There are several areas for improvement to enhance customer satisfaction. Overpriced and under satisfaction experience

Dining at Olive and Sea was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in a picturesque location, the restaurant offers breathtaking views that perfectly complement its delightful Mediterranean menu. Whether you’re seated indoors or on the patio, you’re treated to sweeping sights of canal that make every moment special. The food was a highlight. From the fresh, zesty salads to the perfectly grilled meats and seafood, every dish was bursting with authentic Mediterranean flavors. The ambiance is relaxed yet refined, making it ideal for both casual gatherings and special occasions. The staff were attentive and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the experience. If you’re a fan of Mediterranean cuisine and appreciate dining with a view, olive and sea is a must-visit. I’m already looking forward to my next visit
