Olive and Ivy Reviews

Came here for weekend brunch. The service was great but food is so-so. Its a cute spot but I just was not impressed with the food. The Henry has a far better brunch menu.

If you haven't been there yet, definitely won't be disappointed by taking the time for a first visit!

Solid place good food, good drinks and great service.

Service could have been better but the food was out of this world.

Delicious food, great ambiance. Scallops were big and tasty.

LOVE the patio. Such a beautiful setting. Happy hr is awesome, but busy. Food always delicious.

Bland pasta dishes in a great low light atmosphere. Wanted my steak rare, but it came medium. Not coming back.

The service, food, and friendliness of staff made this a fabulous lunch out!! I overwhelmingly recommend the scallops and the beet salad!

Great service. Make a reservation. Always packed.

Best restaurant in Scottsdale and Arizona. If you are in the area, you must try it. They have the best food and drinks.

The first restaurant we have seen utilize the Name category on online ordering to label people s food.

But seriously, really good food that is always prepared well and a staff that is always helpful and kind! The shrimp risotto is to die for and the bacon wrapped-dates are good enough to be a dessert.

Best restaurant we've ever been to in Arizona and we've visited about 8 times! Service was perfect! Filet, perfect! Scallops, perfect! Get the brussel sprouts!!!! The complimentary bread and pesto, also perfect!

Such a nice brunch even though out outside request wasn t met the meal and service was still nice.

Love the sweet potato cannelloni here and now door dash delivers too!

I was absolutely blown away with the atmosphere and the beautiful patio but not super impressed with the food. The menu is about average and you can find a lot of similar dishes at other local restaurants but the environment and location still make this a must in the Scottsdale area. Our server for the evening was Nicole and she was absolutely lovely and really made our experience at Olive & Ivy a positive one!

Such a lovely restaurant. The food never disappoints and I have loved everything I've ordered. I love starting with the flatbread as an appetizer. The inside of the restaurant is nice but when the weather is good, the outdoor space is perfect!

Great atmosphere lively staff and the food is top notch!

The most amazing atmosphere, staff and absolutely delicious food! Amazing and unique vegetarian options. The chefs back there know what they're doing! I recommend this place with all my heart.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such good food and the outdoor seating is Magic

Great, relaxed environment with a flavourful, healthy menu (made from scratch)! Staff were all smiles and so helpful. Great lunch spot!

Always love this place. 5 star service. Some vegan dessert options would be nice.

Always great, nice patio with trees, misters, and great atmosphere on canal.

LOVE Olive & Ivy! They have a seasonal menu and the servers kind of take their time around but it is completely understandable since the building is so huge. The patio is gorgeous if the weather is right. The menu is seasonal so make sure you check it before you sit if you have your heart set on something specific.

5 Stars. The service was great, food was also great, and our server helped us choose a bruschetta that went well with our plates! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking into going here. Special shoutout to Frank for being our server! :)

Nice place, had a great vibe - but the staff has been lacking. They just aren't very friendly or conversational. The food is good but not great. I recommend the bruschetta.

This is a really nice place to relax with a sangria and snacks on the patio in the afternoon or have a nice evening dinner. Prices are reasonable.

We had an amazing meal with great service. All of the staff were friendly and personable. My wife and I shared three types of bruschetta and the green salad. We both had the mushroom pappardelle that melted in our mouths. Our server John was very courteous and friendly plus gave great advice for our wine and desert. We highly suggest dining at Olive & Ivy.

First time good food wonderful prices and beautiful scenery

When we went It was Super Unorganized, and Everywhere we tried to sit, they said it was closed off. We tried Outside, but the Chairs were Absolutely Filthy!
Finally we went to the cafe side, after the girl Explained a couple menu options, I said ok, I want that, 'Oh Sorry, we only serve that at a certain time of day'...
Needless to say, it was Sooo Frustrating, we left, and didn't order Any Food...

Hip spot...nice setting.. attractive people..good food!!

Olive and Ivy is a Mediterranean themed bar and restaurant situated just off the canal in Scottsdale. We stopped by for date night and were impressed with the sophisticated yet comfortable vibe. The patio has enough shade and misters to beat the Arizona heat, and I d highly recommend a table outside. If not, they had a full bar and dining area, limited lounge seating, and a gelato/coffee bar for quick, lighter options.

The menu does strive for a broader Mediterranean inspired flavor than a specific cuisine like French or Italian. They offer complimentary focaccia bread that is phenomenal by itself, but even better with their pesto. We continued the carb intake with the bruschetta...you can t go wrong with the salmon lox. We also ordered the seasonal chef s board and were impressed by the quality and variety it offers. Service was attentive and friendly throughout our experience, and that was true of both our waiter and the food runner.

Ultimately, this is a phenomenal spot for any occasion with a menu diverse enough for most pallets. Highly recommend!

Great atmosphere and service! Food was good, but would love to see some more vegitarian friendly items. Highly recommend!

So much fun! The food was awesome and it was super relaxing sitting around thier fire pits on the patio. Great times.

Good service prompt, food was good and nice ambiance.

Awesome atmosphere and friendly staff we loved this place. Had cocktails and the best burger I ve ever tasted.

The staff is super friendly but not over baring and the food.. let me tell you its amazing. You definitely get what your paying for. I would for sure recommend the sea bass and my husband would recommend the shrimp scampi risotto. And for dessert the lemon pudding cake is sweet but tart, so good. Its a beautiful date night place. Every time we're in town we always go.

I was in Arizona for a course and this restaurant was recommended to me. I had shrimp with risotto. This meal was so delicious. The shrimp was quite flavourful and cooked to.perfection. The risotto was creamy without being heavy. It was quite decadent. The meal was hot just the way I like it. The resraurant itself was quite busy and we waited about 45 minutes to be seated. We sat at a table on the patio while we waited and the ambiance was exquisite. It was a cool night so the heaters were on. I had a pomello cocktail while eaiting and it was so large I couldn't finish it. Was definitely an amazing experience. It was worth the wait.

Went there for lunch, bacon wrapped dates with Italian sausage stuffing are fantastic. Had a chicken chopped salad that was just delicious!

Olive and Ivy has one of the best patios in scottsdale. Comfortable seating and great atmosphere. It feels like you are sitting in a friends backyard instead of a restaurant. Happy hour has some solid choices and they are known for their sangria (i prefer the white). As most Fox restaurants do they pay attention to decor and atmosphere and did a great job with it. The food is not spectacular and most times seems overpriced, but is pretty good. Great place for conversation, drinks, and appetizers but probably would not be my first choice for quality dinner.

BONUS: they have free wifi

Very cute place! Nice atmosphere. I loved the pesto bread they gave us to start. There were so many things that looked good on the menu. I tried the mushroom pappardelle and it was really tasty. The sauce was a little watery (maybe it's supposed to be that way?), but very flavourful.

All courses were absolutely delicious. The pre meal fresh made bread and basil pesto were off the charts.

Thank you to the manager - he made my day by fulfilling a special request on 11/14. I was celebrating with my family right after picking my wedding dress and he made sure we had our Veuve champagne to celebrate this special time in my life. We had a lovely time. Thank you sir!

Not so sure about this place - front counter staff needs hospitality training.

We ordered the family to go package. Main course was ice cold with a made on date 2 days earlier.

The seal of our to go cocktail was already opened.

I would recommend this place if you have $100 to waste. Good luck to you guys.

Great restaurant, but please bring back the peanut butter mousse!

Great food, service and love the outdoor area this time of year. The bacon wrapped pork is amazing.

Huge restaurant with massive patio for dining. Great food, good customer service, perfect waterfront location. Delicious cocktails and my fav bruschetta plates!
Plenty of parking as a public garage is close by.

The food and service were incredible from start to finish. The lighting is dim and the space feels amazingly cozy for being so large and open. The only downside was the noise. I could hardly hear the other people at my table over the din of the dining crowd. They could use some sound dampening in that space!

One of my favorite places. The ambiance is unreal and the foods are just extraordinary!

Had a wonderful dinner at Olive and Ivy. Ordered their veal ravioli and the Cesar Salad. Absolutely delicious ravioli...light and delicate both ravioli and sauce.

We had an awesome dinner. Kale Salad was good. The bruschetta was excellent. Price point was high. We are in patio and service and ambience was very good.

The atmosphere is incredible on the patio with fire pits. The food was so so with my date returning his Chicken Salad because it had way too much parmesan cheese on it. My Salmon salad initially tasted very salty (the salmon) but it got better until I got to the middle of the salmon. It was raw. I had to ask to have it cooked more. For a restaurant that is on the higher price point end, I expected more from the food. The service was average. Not sure if I will return.

This place is kinda of expensive but the food is so great and good

Place was great only complaint was the artichoke hearts were very bland

Great place and has a great atmosphere with the outdoor music

Went to eat mid afternoon. Seated then told, menu isnt open except these small plates. Ridiculous! If you've got hours you're not serving just close. Or tell before searing, no real food for you. Locals took us there, but left to get real food.

fun place for a night out, great location and good food.

I did not like the kale salad reminded me of an Easter basket with a piece of salmon and paper thin apples on top worth the illusion that it was full of the toppings listed 95% kale had to trade or for the Mediterranean salad instead.

Not really a medieratiran restaurant like I was expecting but the food was AMAZING and all very fresh and tasty! Great service but it is a little noisy and the lighting is pretty dim at night. Overall fun place!

Great food great service! Cinnamon roll is a must to try. I was there for brunch and had the crispy chicken hash it was amazing

Went to Scottsdale for the wine trail and had a great time but after we needed some food that would be more hearty. The location is beautiful as you walk in weather you sit in or outside you great a great view of outside. We had some great mixed drinks to start everyone loved what they got from the bar tender. We had a few Flatbread to start out and loved them all! It was a great start. I then had lasagna for my entree which was a deconstructed take on it and incredible. Everyone was very happy with the food. The service was great and all around a good experience.

Wife's favorite restaurant for lunch or dinner. My daughter loves the gourmet pastries for breakfast and the scallop dinner is awesome.

This place is amazing. Great service. Great food. Felt like being in Europe sitting outdoors by the canal.
