Reviews of Olives Casual Cuisine (Restaurant)

Danielle Cole

We were a table of four and chose four different starters and mains. First thing was the service, the flow and knowledge of all the menus items was comforting. The food was a continuation of the level of service, impeccable with a level of …

Joe Millar

Excellent menu. Gluten free options. All dishes created in house. Busy, understandable, but staff could be a little friendlier, so 4 stars instead of 5.

James Gilmore

Our wait person was friendly, helpful with menu descriptions and very efficient. As was COVID we sat outside on the side of the building with relaxing music playing. Had deserts as well -- no complaints at all. Highly recommend for a fine …

Cheryl Jestin

Top class food. Great atmosphere and staff very friendly.Very reasonably priced. Very highly recommended

Kathy Kirshner

We dine here quite often and there is one reason. It has the best food in Sarnia. If your looking for burgers and fries you won't find it here. If you like creative dishes and different sides to compliment your protein then this is your place. They would benefit from a larger steak on the menu but other than that, no complaints.

We enjoyed an absolutely delicious meal at olives for Valentine’s Day celebrations...the food and service were both amazing...and atmosphere was great too! A guitarist sang and played for the evening...so beautiful. We will definitely be back! I highly recommended this restaurant.

Steve Carey

They are paying attention to the current covid standards.. asking for vaccination status as well as photo id.. we were there for a private function.. staff wore masks all during the event. Food was lovely.. a fixed menu was offered.. the steak was nicely cooked.. dessert was excellent..creme Brule..

Absolutely love love love the Polynesian Salad! I hadn't had it in a very long time. The scones are always so good!

Alwyn Dsouza

Service and meal was on point. Not the cheapest prices but you're guaranteed a great meal with excellent service. Will definitely be back.

Eve Morgan

This is the second time to write the review, obviously I posted this one, ....had good service, but the food was average, ...they do try hard though...a bit of gloomy looking too!

Bruce C

We went for lunch and the place was almost empty, yet the service was inattentive. Everything had a musty taste, like the food was old or improperly stored. Would not recommend.

Jordan Taylor

Went here for my birthday dinner, which just happens to be two weeks away from Christmas. So the dining room was super busy. But the service was excellent, and the food was incredible. Will definitely go to Olives again. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a fine dining experience, with reasonable prices.

Had a wonderful lunch with wonderful friends of 30 years. We sat unrushed visiting,catching up and celebrating my retirement. Great atmosphere and great friends.

Linda Webber

Best meals we've had in Sarnia. Salad's were fresh & tasty & our entries of beef tenderloin were excellent. Host/owner was our server on a slower Wed. evening & she was very good. We've recently had disappointing meals at the other 'nicer' Sarnia restaurants so Olive's was a welcome surprise on our first visit there.

Gabriel Faria

Extremely accommodating of our group which had many, many dietary restrictions. Fantastic meal, too. Best "medium well" steak I've ever ordered, it was cooked to perfection.

Ida vanWijnen

I've been going to Olives on and off for the years. Every time I go they handle all allergy concerns. Food is delicious and staff is some of the best in Sarnia. Great date night spot with a little old fashioned decor.

Margarita Ibbott (DownshiftingPRO)

I love this local restaurant. They do not have extensive fine dining options however the meals that they do put together are very delicious. We ate at many fine dining restaurants last year in Europe. And this probably is way better than a lot of the options that we had even in Paris. The service here is excellent as well.

Carol Baker-Crichton

Great food.

Robert Mayo

Debbie Holmes

If you're looking for a great new place for date night, Olives would make a fine choice. Now, Olives has been there for as long as I can remember so it's not technically new. However, the recent subtle renovations and the addition of Chef …

Josephine Daamen

Venison wsa awesome recommend anything with the mashed potatoes

Stephen Szewczuk

Excellent food!

Bruce West

The food, presentation and service was in better than some of our fine dining experiences in Toronto. I would recommend the mushroom risotto and seafood linguine.- wonderful flavours. Our son enjoyed the classic chicken and large portion of creme brûlée. He did not leave anything on his plate and he is a fussy eater. All enjoyed the delicious bread.

Erica Paradis

Great place nice atmosphere.

Coby Van Reenen

Taya H

Absolutely delicious and enjoyable dinning experience

Deborah Lapier

The tenderloin is decent, not great. Shrimp apatizer is good.

Jeff VanderSlagt

This used to be a favourite restaurant, under Olive's ownership. It was classy, quiet and upscale. But last time we attended, the food was terrible, it was so loud we couldn't hear the waitress speaking to us and the customers were wearing jeans and tshirts. Standards have definitely dropped!

Rick Smith

Food is very good and their social distancing is well done

Rob Nield

Best dining in sarnia

Ray Terpstra

Joseph Drew

Absolutely loved my meal and the atmosphere.

Sue Morrison-Weir

The service was great and waitress attentive. The soup was cream of asparagus which was small, some tough stingy pieces. No addition of a crouton, or a few sprinkles of cheese . The salmon sandwich was made with brown sndwich bread that was boring, along with the thin flat lettuce, and tasteless salmon filing . Pricey and crummy

E SD

Excellent service, perfect Martini, best steak I've had in years! Bread pudding is to die for! Totally recommend! Stephanie, our server was the epitome of professionalism! Thank you for a stellar experience! We will be back next time we visit Sarnia! Til then we'll dream of our perfect steak dinner!

Andrew Wilson
