Reviews of L'Olivia Table Gourmande converge on a warm enchanting bakery cafe experience anchored by exceptional pastries, breads, coffee, and often a sense of local seasonal cooking. The ambiance is repeatedly described as beautiful and inviting, with cozy or magical vibes and attractive decor, sometimes with a terrace or view of gardens. Service is frequently praised as attentive and friendly, though a few comments point to pressure to order quickly or to uneven wine recommendations and occasional lapses in timing during busy events. The kitchen is regarded as refined and flavorful, with highlights like tartare, filet mignon, and well crafted pasta or bavette, while some mains are described as too salty, overcooked, or lacking freshness. Prices are commonly noted as on the higher side, but many feel the quality justifies the expense, and the patisserie and bakery get especially strong acclaim, even being called among the best in the region. A minority of reviews report negative experiences, including a significant service misstep or a serious food safety concern, suggesting that experiences can vary with events or days. Overall, L'Olivia Table Gourmande comes across as a destination for pastry lovers and for a refined, memorable meal, with a sense of discovery and a willingness to return for the desserts, atmosphere, and hospitality.

Extraordinaire!! de la réservation jusqu'à la fin du repas! Opinion: l'entrée de variété de tomate est vraiment trop généreuse (mais c'était délicieux!!)
Wonderful service & ambience. We had traveled from out of town & had our dog. The restaurant accommodated us by setting up a full-service impromptu picnic in front of their lovely greenhouse.
Très,très déçu de la nourriture. Ambiance agréable mais la bouffe pour un resto qui se veut « gourmet » impossible de donner plus d'une étoile. Bavette presqu'impossible à couper & flan de porc très « raide » difficile à mastiquer. Seul le poisson était bon
