This place is great! I had the pera salad with salmon, very good. Also walked in on a Thursday and sat right away which is always a plus.

We decided to try this place since we had a certificate. The food was ok. The best was the hummus/mezze platter appetizer — super yummy and plentiful and practically an entire meal in itself for only $ 8. The rest of the meal(salmon, tofu) was mediocre at best — lukewarm/cold and bland. Service was subpar(there was only one waiter and he was also the bartender — not really his fault he didn’t have more help and he was a really nice guy, but the restaurant was only about 20% full) — he kept forgetting to bring us things like serving spoons, small plates, hot sauce, etc. At the end of our meal, he tells us they don’t accept certificates anymore even though they were clearly listed on the site that day. We had been willing to put up with the service and quality of the food for a reduced price, but for full price its not worth it at all(except for the mezze platter). Disappointed and will not be going back.

Food is VERY good. Prices are high. Cocktail prices are even higher. They should spend LESS $ on the limp wristed ‘décor’ of the place and then they can lower there prices.

Terrible service, mediocre food, over priced to name a few. Atmosphere was really the only positive thing I can take from this dining experience. Save your money, dine elsewhere.

This place is a nice trendy spot, bartenders are nice and sociable, food may be slightly over priced but for the most part the food is good and tasty. There R-life is pretty cool, some times they have an artist, live Musician ect… of some sorts. They also have different small rooms for small party’s.

*disclamier: never tried the food*…Stiff drinks, but they are a little pricey. absolutely beautiful décor. I can imagine it would be a great space to rent out for a private party.

For a hotel eatery not the worst I have had. To die for is a reach. Better Pina Coladas at Hamberger in Paradise across the street! Better Burgers Too. The décor is fitting for the name Olio(hodge podge) Looks like it was a asian place at some point in its lifetime. Really important — Will I go again… Yes to give them another chance to impress me. Maybe I went at a bad time(Lunch time on a saturday) Someone in my party had the lump crab and said it was good. Service ?? Again it might have been the time of day. There was only one server in the place. Be sure to get a coupon from and save some cash. I have no affiliation with just a suggestion.

Ive had Boardwalk Fries twice for lunch in Olio Lounge and they are to die for, french fries with melted cheese, bacon, and ranch! Love, love, love!!! I also had dinner in the lounge a few days ago the calamari is delicious with the dipping sauce they serve it with and my shrimp & penne with Lobster-marinara was excellant! Not to mention the the hotel/Olio’ s design and décor make you feel like your at a boutique-y NYC hotel! I Highly reccomend Olio to anyone in the area…

Pathetic. Do not go! For the reasons mentioned in other reviews like horrible service and bad quality of food and drinks. Besides price is high for almost everything. Appearance can be deceptive and this is perfect example.

Great food, Great service, Great ambiance. Staffs were prompt and humorous. The lounge area was my favorite area. Lots of seating, cool/modern furniture. Not too crowded, just the right amount of people. Definitely a place to go chill and relax with your girlfriends, buddies, couples, etc.

Every single time I have been to Olio’s I have had nothing but great service. The food is delicious especially Tony’s Rigatoni, the chicken pesto sandwich to die for, turkey sandwich on cranberry bread also delicious. The bartenders have all been courteous … Even down to the barbacks and other wait staff. I am a customer that goes there often and actually enjoy the atmosphere and peace when I go with my husband to watch football games.

I have to agree with the previous reviews. Visually… this place is incredible. I really want to like it because it has so much potential in that respect… but I’ve been here three times and everything else has just been OK. Service is terrible. Food sounds more interesting than it tastes — and is not fresh. Sandwich bread was stale and their chicken quesadillas are pre-mixed…probably from a can. Bartenders have no idea how to run a tab… and are painfully slow. Spent more time joking with each other than paying attention to the customers. The lounge seriously lacks vibe… and while it may suit hotel guests looking for a cozy couch or lobby meeting place, it sadly falls short of the Miami-style establishment it could be. I look forward to them getting it right because there isn’t anything else really like it in the area. Keep your expectations low and maybe it’s worth a visit.

The place is really nice and looks fancy but that’s about it… The service has plenty of room for improvement. After being there with a group for over an hour, we weren’t asked once about refilling our drinks. The food itself was nothing to rave about. I had a burger that wasn’t anything special. I’d have been better off going across the street to Cheeseburger in Paradise.
