    I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile. Took my family tonight & — it was such a wonderful experience. A lot of that had to do with our server, Ashley. From the moment he approached the table, it was kindness & excellence, and he made it just a lovely night out. The view, the food (spectacular), the service, all of it makes this place a great new addition to Lauderdale.

    We loved everything about Olive and Sea. Our family of 6 had a table outside that gave us a view of the canal, bridge, and massive yachts. It was situated so it felt like we had a private dining experience. Service was outstanding. I have forgotten our lead servers name. She was very attentive and helped accommodate for special dietary needs with the kitchen. One of us is vegan and another has several allergies. This was appreciated and impressive since there was a large group of 35 inside at the same time. The food was delicious. We ordered several dishes from the menu and they were served family style. Allowing us all to all try several dishes. They were all good. Some standouts were the grilled pita and house bread with the dips - homemade hummus and babaganoush,the chickpea stew, the grilled chicken, the chopped salad. Everything was very flavorful. I’d highly recommend.

    The food was very good, but the octopus was disappointing. Our server Elizabeth was excellent very knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend this restaurant for a special occasion.

    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
