Reviews for Olive and Basil restaurant in La Jolla, CA
Asked for the Hard cider, they were out so recommended hard seltzer, I accepted. Brings me the white claw. I guess it was my... fault for not asking what it was. But overall the atmosphere was good and the food was delicious. Read more
We ordered: -Hummus Trio Pesto Hummus was my favorite or the three, bread was soft and delicious!! -Beef Kebab Plate Meat was... super tender, could cut with a butter knife, greatly enjoyed the vegetable variety and freshness! -Gyros Plate Tender meat withgood seasoning, soft vegetables cooked to perfection, rice was not sticky or hard! Perfect presentation. -Falafel Add on Verycrispy and tender! Good flavor that you didn't need sauce for (def paired great with the Hummus) -Two Chardonnays Can't go wrongwith white wine on a gorgeous day!! We will definitely be back, especially to try the dessert. Portions were good sized andmenu is not overwhelming. Amazing view and staff. So polite, quick and attentive! Wonderful Sunday lunch, Thank you! Read more
Good spot to grab a bite. We were seated upstairs so we had a nice view. Our server Vinny was great! He was always around when... we needed him & he had a wonderful attitude. We had the calamari & the Spanish shrimp pasta dish. Great flavor, plenty of largeshrimp & the veggies on top were nice. We also wanted to try the Baklava cheesecake that our waiter suggested & my goodness, itwas everything!! I also think the prices for the dishes were reasonable. If you ever find yourself in La Jolla, you should defstop by! Read more
Very special costal view over La Jolla cove. We enjoyed the place and have a lot of nice food Hummus was amazing Salmon cooked... to perfection. Read more
Loved it, great place for quick bite or dinner. We came for a lunch and it wasn’t very busy, it was rather cloudy day so... probably not many people were going to the beach and it was not overcrowded and no waiting time. The views are amazing, it wasquite cold but we sat outside and had heated lamps which made pretty comfortable. Open face gyros tasted great, large portionsand very fresh. Service was great too. Definitely nice place to stop by. Since I am working in the area, will definitely be backagain. Read more
The most disappointing dinner I've had, especially for the price point. I ordered the mahi mahi and received a severely... overcooked fish. My boyfriend ordered his steak medium rare, but it came out like beef jerky. They claim that the steak is USDAcertified, however, we've had better quality steak at Denny's. We left our food mostly untouched and stopped by McDonalds on theway home. Service was also extremely slow despite being at 33% capacity. To finish on a positive, the restaurant location isgorgeous and would make for a romantic date night environment. The server had a great smile and positive attitude. The shrimpguacamole was beautifully plated, though the dish was a little oily. Overall, I would not recommend eating here unless the foodquality improves. Read more
Elevated restaurant with ocean view from patio. Mediterranean themed menu but note the brunch menu is not available, nor is the... slow cooked lamb dish on the main menu. Ordered the calamari but give it a miss; overcooked and like rubber. The pulled lambburger and bro burger plus the 2 pasta dishes were all delicious as was the lemon cake and baklava. Read more
Mmmm that lemoncello cake! Nice deck, friendly staff. I also had the ahi tacos and a creamy kiss for a drink and I regret none... of my choices tonight. Read more
