Olive & Sea is a rooftop waterfront restaurant on the famed Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal, serving colorful and bold Mediterranean-style dishes, livened by fresh flavors, locally sourced daily seafood specials, and ethically sourced seasons and rubs. Complementing the extensive menu is a creatively crafted cocktail program that infuses traditional Eastern Mediterranean spices, and locally inspired ingredients like citrus and herbs, to deliver a taste sensation as bold in flavor as they are in color. 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.

    pros: complimentary valet, comfy seating, food was pretty good, ability to seat 5 instead of 4 cons: costs for what it was, time it took to get drinks, 2 of 5 of us didn't like the drinks, very loud, no one answered the phone prior to the reservation even though we called many times

    Good service with good pace, almost too fast but really just right for folks who dont want to linger.. Brazini for 2 was great, so was house salad which is sharable.

    Terrible service. Server was unable to properly course food and dropped apps, salads, and entrees all at once, before we had drinks. Dessert took 45+ minutes to arrive and then was dropped completely melted and not acceptable for serving. Server just never came back after that and after another 30 mins we had to flag down a manager to tab out who never questioned why we were grabbing her or inquired about the food or experience. I guess when restaurant policy is to autograt everyone there is no incentive to give decent service. And if the manager isn’t trained in service why would the rest of the staff be. Disappointing. Food was good. Probably a better experience if you sit at the bar.
