I hosted my bridal shower at Olivia’s yesterday and it was absolutely perfect. Firstly, Ilysa was so helpful in ensuring every question I had was answered, and was super responsive and beyond incredible. The staff was warm, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The space itself is stunning,bright, welcoming, and ideal for an intimate event. The food was delicious and every guest left raving about it. Olivia’s created such a special, stress free experience for me and my guests. Highly recommend for anyone planning a shower, brunch, or celebration!

Made a reservation for a late Friday night dinner. Nice ambiance. I ordered the Hoboken Life for my drink (Hoboken's Ginger Spiced Whiskey, Cassis, Lemon Juice, Ginger Beer) and it was delicious! Then got the spicy rigantoni for my entree which I also enjoyed. We sat by the windows up front which was nice, I think sitting farther back would have been very loud. The restroom setup is very strange… strange enough that it became a topic of conversation haha.

This is my favorite restaurant in Hoboken! The brunch is especially good, the home made biscuits are delicious ! The owners are kind as well:) Dinner is great and the drinks are unique !

I love this place! The neighborhood is just beautiful, atmosphere at the restaurant is so nice and the servers were super friendly! We had a few dishes, and they were all amazing. We will definitely revisit next time!

Fantastic restaurant with a laid back yet elegant atmosphere. The food was innovative and scrumptious. The cocktails were perfect. The service was impeccable. I would love to add this to my place of regular dining outs. We had the whipped ricotta with fruit and toasted baguette as the appetizer. This is a very filling shareable that I could have turned into a whole meal. So yummy. I had the duck- delicious! My sister had the scallops- a must try. We both had the Guava cocktails. All in all, this new spot is an ABSOLUTELY must try while in Hoboken.

Hosted an intimate cocktail party here in February and still can’t get over it! 😍 The main bar is beautiful but, we got a private room in the back for our party which was even better 🥰 Olivia’s had a great selection of food to offer and cocktails as well as service were outstanding. Joel and Ricardo (I hope I got the names right) were helping us and did a great job. Ilysia was very helpful and detail oriented since the first time we spoke until the end of the party. Just wanted to say huge thanks to this place and everyone who helped, because you made our night so special and memorable ♥️✨

We went on a date night for early dinner (5:45pm). It wasn’t crowded, but you could tell it gets busy at peak hours. The place looks very cozy, the food was excellent and tasty, with high quality ingredients. Great service and atmosphere! 100% recommended!

Really incredible. Cocktails are simple but really good and refreshing. May not think of guacamole when thinking Mediterranean, but guacamole is really good. I the skirt steak and my wife got the pork chops and both were incredible. They gave us a passion fruit tart to finish the meal and it was fantastic. Overall, great addition to the area. Service was quick but not overbearing. Great outdoor seating, and indoors look nice. Brunch service will be starting soon, looking forward to be back for dinner and brunch.

Lovely brunch place at Hoboken area. They have indoor and outdoor seats. It was a nice day so we sat outside. The waitress and the staff were very nice and friendly. Guac and chips were very good. flavorful and crispy chips. Steak and eggs were good. Steak came out how I wanted it. Juicy and tender. Waffle was soft and puffy. Actually pretty good. Unsweeten ice tea was basic. I just wish all the portions are a little bigger. I was still craving for food after the meal. Overall a solid spot for brunch tho.

We went on a Friday night and there is a 90 minute time limit. The food was presented well and looked amazing, however the flavor was okay. The drinks were good! The decor and ambiance was nice.

This is elegant restaurant, beautiful inside with a nice har as well as street side outdoor seating. We went there around Sunday noon and got a table right away. We started with avocado with chips that was absolutely delicious. For entree I got the chicken and biscuits. Unfortunately the chicken and the biscuits both tasted average. I had a much higher expectation for the quality and taste of the chicken. Our server was really friendly. She did a nice job. But they needed about 35 minutes to serve our main course. We utilized the extra waiting time to roam around the restaurant and the neighborhood street.

Disappointing. I was excited to try this place after a friend suggested it. I ordered Athena's salad43 ine with it but the waitress never told me ahead that the Athena's salad was not available for lunch (it was around 1pm on a Sunday) It was also not fresh and the steak was medium well when I asked for medium rare. My drink was also served pretty late and smaller than what my friend had but I paid the same price. Definitely treated way different than all other people in my group. Not worth it.

I wanted to like this place, but it fell short in just about every metric. I had a very enjoyable cocktail, but it went promptly downhill afterwards. Ultimately, it is the service that makes Olivia’s fall flat. At first, the service was almost abrasive and intrusive, but as the meal progressed, our server was nowhere to be found. Our water glasses ran empty several times throughout the dinner, with many other staff members walking by, noticing, and ignoring this. My guest had to ask for refills multiple times, and many of the people at neighboring tables looked irritated with the service as well, and also had empty water glasses. The Mediterranean plate appetizer was fair, but had a laughable portion size for $24. Had the spicy vodka rigatoni as my entree, and was beyond disappointed with the dish. The vodka sauce from a mason jar at the grocery store exceeds that of Olivia’s. Additionally, for a pasta dish with only sliced sausage links as a protein, $35 is a laughable price. My guest and I wanted to stay for dessert, but the server took more than 10 minutes to check back on us after our entree plates were cleared. Not once during the meal did our server (or any other team member, for that matter) ask how we were enjoying our meal. Prompt or enthusiastic service with any sort of recommendations could have steered us in a different direction while ordering, and potentially saved the flailing experience. All in all, while the decor is cute and charming, the food was below average, and the service was even less impressive. Safe to say I will not be returning.

3 of us dined here for dinner. Service: inconsistent…waiter was friendly but ordering our drinks and dishes created some confusion for him. And lady who brought our drinks over got confused also. Overall it felt like a new restaurant still working out its kinks. Food: way overpriced for what you get. Happy hour prices are more appropriate for the quality. Food tasted OK…wasn’t bad but also didn’t have us itching to come back.
