Olive Cafe has a fancy look and interior decorations. Candle light dinner also provides!!!!! I thought I picked a nice restaurant for a gathering with my friends. However, I actually came to a conclusion too early!!!! Here are my opinions for this Olive Cafe. Candle light dinner with loud voice around is pretty annoying!!!! The restaurant is very noisy inside. We could hardly hear from each other!!!! Also, there seemed like having only candles as light, therefore it was very dark inside. I could not clearly see what the dishes looked like. I really think they should also turn on some lights for seeing. Bread and Butter! Ok quality but nothing special!!!! The butter has some herb inside so it provided some nice herbal aroma to the plain old bread! Roasted German Pork Knuckle: It was just a normal bake salted knuckle with some sour cabbages, potato wedges and a little bit salad! and the skin is not crispy, just fatty! The meat was tender at least! I am not that impressed by it!B.B.Q. Spicy Dutch Baby Spare Ribs: First, the meat was very dried! Plus, the ribs were not warm only the BBQ sauce on top was warm. Grilled N.Z. Rib Eye Steak with Baked U.S. Potato Green Salad: Looked very attractive when it was put on the table. A pretty good size rib-eye steak with black pepper sauce. Nice! And we wanted it in medium rare so it did come as what we ordered. Not bad so far! Ok, the bad part hit right after the first bit. The steak was chewy, not tender at all. And there is not much seasoning, like the basic salt and pepper, on top of the steak. Therefore, there was not much flavor of the beef to come out. I was actually wondering if this steak was really from New Zealand! I have had many steaks before, so I know what a decent steak should be! For this price, I should really expect a decent steak from the restaurant. But we didn't get one for sure! Talk about the black pepper sauce, should we? Well... the sauce was thick but not much black pepper flavor in it. So, this dish turned out to be another disappointment! The bake potato and salad were fine! Smoked Salmon Tartar with Papaya & Avocado: It is an interesting dish! It looks absolutely grogeous, don't you think? The perfect layers of smoke salmon, fresh salmon tartar, diced avcocado, and diced papaya! Beautiful colors! So, we totally thought it would taste great! Because it was a salad, I thought the sauce would be acidic! Well... after the first bit, Wow (in a bad way), the sauce was super sweet!!!! I felt like I was eating a dessert! So, I asked a waiter what the sauce was. The answer was shocking..... Blueberries and Cream! Oh! That's why it was so sweet! The sauce and the smoke salmon didn't match at all. It just tasted weird! The blueberries sauce will be much better with dessert!!!! Roasted Iberico Pork Sausage with Fresh Mashed Potato: This dish was a little better than the other dishes that we ordered! Although the sausages were a little dried, the flavor of the meat was rich. The mashed potato was creamy also and the BBQ sauce was tasty!!! Pepperoni Pizza: The pizza top tasted good, full of cheese, pepperoni, olives, green bell peppers. Very attractive looking!!!! However, the pizza dough was a little hard. It was not soft dough pizza, it was actually a thick cracker. Well... i personally prefer a normal soft dough pizza and not the a cracker base pizza. oh well....This restaurant could be a great one if they can cook the food better!!!! But until they can change, I will not go there again! …查看更多
