On a recent trip to LV, my husband and I enjoyed a fantastic meal at Olives. We checked with the maitre d' about an hour before our reservation and asked to be put on a waiting list for a table on the terrace, about 45 minutes later we were treated to a table for 2 on the balcony with an amazing view of the strip and the dancing fountains. Out food was spectacular as well, from the obviously-freshly baked bread with various tapenades (both accenting the tanginess and smoothness of olives) to the fig and prosciutto flatbread (a fantastic combination of flavors and textures on a delicious crust) to the scallops on green goddess risotto (perfectly cooked shellfish and creamy rich risotto) and mahi mahi with citrus (a wonderful collection of flavors) to the vanilla panna cotta with a tangy lime sorbet. It was an amazing setting complimented by fabulous food. We left with huge smiles on our faces and bellies full of happiness.
