Olive and Ivy Reviews

Good food, good service, good prices = 5* from me! very satisfied

One of my wife s and mines favorite newly found restaurant. Prices are really good for the quality of service you get! We ve been back twice now and have liked everything we ve eaten there!

You have to get the hummus!

great food and cocktails. service was pretty slow though. didn't get our drink orders until just before the apps arrived. was busy so maybe its not normally like that..

Awesome food. Limited selection but everything is amazing!

We have our monthly ladies brunch here and we love it! On the patio of course!! Love their brunch Mimosas and the original Moscow Mule! I always have the eggs Benedict with avocado. Their flat bread pizza is perfect and their salads are all delicious. Service is always amazing and the manager makes sure you are always happy! Absolutely love this place! I go at least 2-4 times a month!

Food was nice , but we did not like the drinks we ordered , my sangaree was more like vinegar , service was okay , ,

Hands down one of the best restaurants in the valley........probably why there is always an hour wait to get seated. The drinks are amazing and the food is even better. The outside atmosphere is amazing in the cooler months. Highly recommend this place!!!!

Fabulous food, atmosphere, and service. Would absolutely recommend!!

Music was too loud. Our family sat in silence during the meal because it was impossible to talk comfortably with the DJ's music on Saturday night. Food was great, decor is elegant yet comfortable, but instead of a relaxing evening, I was stressed from the pounding of the music.

mediterranean food and the scene here is very good. I love going here. The place has an awesome atmosphere.

Beautiful location and the best dessert ever! The lemon pudding cake was spectacular....but the highlight was the honey ice cream! So so unique and delicious.

The mushroom pasta dish was incredible! Noisy inside but the patio seating was more peaceful.

The service was not great. Our waiter seemed a little short with us. I think the kitchen was backed up and he was trying to do whatever he can to get us to not order but we waiting about 20 mins after our reservation time and we were starving. However the food was delicious! Everyone at our table ordered something different and everyone thought their meal was great.

Great brunch! We usually have dinner here and found out they do brunch on the weekends. My veggie egg scramble was delicious......eggs cooked to perfection and my husband really liked the breakfast burrito. Our server, Dan, got my coffee perfect which is almost impossible to do, plus he was astute enough to notice that my potatoes that I asked to be extra crispy were misunderstood by the kitchen and they just gave me extra potatoes instead. He brought me another side of potatoes made exactly the way I like. Kudos to Fox Restaurants for hiring and training such great staff!

If u don't like the atmosphere, food, or staff your a high maintenance idiot. Great experience.

Great service, food is fresh, and very yummy.
The "market" section is really convenient is you don't have the time to spend in the restaurant.
Will come back.

Great place for business meetings in Old Town Scottsdale!

I've been here twice, once for dinner and once for brunch. Both for big parties of ten or more.
(+) Good private rooms for larger parties.
(+) Flat breads are really good.
(+) Good cocktails, good wine selection.
(+) Pastas are good.
(+) Benedict is good.

We had an excellent server and my sea bass was outstanding. Nice atmosphere, good selection of wines.

I was hesitant about this place from the reviews but I actually really liked it.. I ordeted the tuna salad sandwich and it was bomb then my wife ordered the chicken panini and it was bomb.. Only complaint was they didnt have seating for us then when we ordered in the deli area they wanted to seat us but we already ordered and they had a better bigget menu than we had access too smh.. Customer service should always be extra willing or offering to take back our order so we had more to choose from..but all in all no complaints.. I could care less about the staff or their attitudes cuz I'm there for food not their staff

Busy restaurant with lots of outdoor seating in the canal that has cool artwork over the water.

Amazing experience here. Our server Zack F had a great personality in addition to the great customer service we received. Will definitely be back

Michelle rocks! Food on point! Service was excellent and the special big room was perfect for our birthday party.

Must visit, trendy restaurant. I usually avoid going to the same restaurant (I like to experience new places) but the food, drinks, and atmosphere keep my wife and I going back. It's hard to go wrong with the menu - most of their food will blow your taste-buds away.

Great atmosphere , wonderful service delicious food. This was my first visit and i will definitely be going back!

I do love this place. The food is great. I've never had anything that wasn't very good. The service is top notch.

I've been here with large family group, with a couple friends and on a date. Restaurant worked well for all.

My favorite thing to do is to order several dishes per person and then eat family style.

Highly recommended.

Garbage. What's the hype? Small overpriced portions for a mouse. Flatbread pizza? Worse then dominos! Soggy with greasy non fresh mozzarella. Never go back! 3 of us left hungry

Absolutely wonderful! Great service, great food. Came back a second evening, after enjoying dinner previous night. Shrimp scampi risotto was outstanding. So was the kale salad. The pesto / olive oil dip was excellent. I had that with their bread the first night. The second night, I brought with me a bag of Stacy's bare naked pita chips, which went even better with the Pesto dip. Who would think that Arizona has such a place for the best shrimp risotto??? Sat outside by the dry 'river' and the atmosphere was perfect. Just casual enough, yet civilized. Would definitely come here again if I were ever to return to Phoenix... Did I mention I really liked it?

Loved it! Very friendly staff and delicious food. Lovely patio.

Wonderful place to eat, if you have the opportunity sit at the Chef's table, then you really see how it all works. A great team of Chef's.

This is very popular places I go there often, normally I always get really good service and good food!! This time it wasn t my best experience however I m sure it was just a bad night lol

Upscale lunch place around mall. Fast, easy, and healthy food.

I eat here pretty much every time I go shopping at Scottsdale Fashion Square. Great food and awesome atmosphere. I always get the Pesto Chicken Flatbread because it's so delicious but I really need to branch out!

This place is always a good time. I would definitely recommend it. One of the better places on the river front. One can easily have a dinner for two under $45.

We had lunch here when we were visiting our friends in Scottsdale. The bread with pesto sauce was delicious! We enjoyed the hummus and grilled chicken panini as well. I highly recommend the Bellini!

Great service and great food.
Everything PERFECT!

We had a fantastic time at Olive & Ivy! The restaurant's ambiance is very relaxing. I brought a date there and she absolutely loved it. We had the natural chicken and the chicken scallopini, both of which were prepared very well and tasted delicious. Our server was very kind, funny and gave great service. Unfortunately I do not remember his name, but he gave us the perfect amount of time to decide on food, and checked back in with us frequently enough that we did not feel ignored. I will definitely be coming back here and reccommend it if you're looking for a solid dinner or date night.

Ok food. For a vegan. Mimosa was delicious! Was served in a huge glass. My hummus dish was blah. Patio seating is nice but no misters. It was hot.

Great food, drinks, location and service. Fun Fact: Their market is open early in the mornings where they serve the best oversized blueberry muffins.

nice setting in the canal. Nice open dining room and views of the kitchen. Excellent food at nice tables with comfortable chairs

Woah! Delicious! Try the cannelloni that's stuffed with sweet potato. The lasagna was good too!

Sit outside on the patio. Lovely place and tasty lunch menu.

Great ambiance and friendly staff. Food was excellent for the most part. Very pricey for the amount of food you get but I assume the price is high for the environment since it's right in the water front. The design of the restaurant is cool as it features and exposed kitchen and market place as well as hanging light bulbs. I would recommend this place for an intimate/romantic dinner with your loved one or group of close friends.

Sangria was sour. Not even a hint of sweetness. Apps and entre were meh. It was our first time so maybe we ordered wrong. Nice view and ambience.

My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary last night and we had the best experience, as a guest and culinary-wise. There was a bit of a mistake when we first got there and we they moved us to another table when we first got there. To make up for it however they brought us each a flute of champagne, which was very sweet because we were super cool about moving! The staff, and our server Joey, smile at you and they seem genuinely nice. Oh, and we've never had a better tasting meal in our lives! It was absolutely delicious! We'll definitely be going again.

Wow what a great place. The atmosphere is upscale, but most are dressed fairly casual. The staff is timely yet gives you the space to enjoy your meal. The food is phenomenal! It was my wife's birthday so they has a special little surprise for her.

Sat at the bar for dinner and enjoyed the seared scallops and red wine that I ordered. I did feel a little rushed as a solo diner, and they must have fired the entre right away after ordering it. However, the food, wine and ambience were great for the 75 minutes I was there. Would like to see a restaurant like this pop up in Philadelphia, something firmly different and operating in the middle ground between your trusted neighborhood spots and your high end places and steakhouses, etc.

Love this place! Great food and atmosphere with in-door and outdoor casual sit-down and self-serve options. Excellent wait-staff and gelato.

I was here for a work event/dinner. The food and drinks were great. Service was excellent. Great atmosphere.

Truly enjoyable experience. The food is delightful and the service is prompt, attentive, and well choreographed.

My husband and I LOVE Olive and Ivy! The food is amazing and the bloody mary's are to die for..highly recommend!

I have visited Olive and Ivy several times over the years. I believe they recently have gone down hill. I visited this place twice within the last six weeks. The first time the service was slow and food didn't taste as good as usual. If figured it was spring break and everything gets chaotic in Scottsdale during this time. I again visited last night. My experience was horrible. We waited 15 minutes at our table before anyone greeted us. I finally had to ask the hostess to send someone over. Once someone came they acted as if we were such a bother to them. We ordered drinks. We waited and waited and waited. Finally 22 minutes later we had our glass of wine. I don't mind waiting for a drink of its something fancy. All we ordered was wine. We relaxed some and decided to just enjoy the company. But we again waited 17 minutes before the waitress came back to take our order. At this time we paid our bill and went and enjoyed a dinner elsewhere. I have to be honest I will not be returning here. It's a gorgeous restaurant but spring break or a Friday night isn't an excuse for this service. Olive and Ivy no longer gets my money.

Most Have reservation for outside Patio dinner dining. inside gets loud . Separate side lounge with cushioned outdoor seating with firepits. Very limited Seating:( arrive 3 pm on weekends) . Try bruschetta plates 3 for $10! Asparagus incredible and mushroom, even have bacon wrapped dates. Disappointed in quinoa salad.

Everything is dish! You have to get the Chef Board!

Great food, service, ambiance, and location. What more could you want?

Everything was amazing! The salmon was incredibly moist and perfectly cooked. The grilled chicken was grilled chicken, but the couscous that went with it.....I could have that with every meal for the rest of my life! We had white chocolate pound cake with raspberry marmalade for dessert. OH. MY. GOSH. The cake was cooked perfectly

Fancy restaurant with great ambience. Outside seating is available. Food was great and a little pricey

The resteraunt was amazing! In fact I went there two days in a row. The only complaint I have is about the guy yelling, "I NEED HANDS" over and over again. Hopefully someone gives him hands.

The location is beautiful!! Sitting outside (in cooler weather) next to the water front, is so nice! Service is great, appetizers and salads are good.

They said the food was made from scratch, it was all good, so I believe them

Had a caramel latte and a breakfast burrito this morning. Very well done and I loved the crispy potatoes.
