Review Summary

Olive et Gourmando is described as a stylish spot with a lovely ambiance and reliable service, though opinions on value vary and some menu items disappoint. The food receives praise for items like the Cuban sandwich, the chicken melt, the mushroom mac n cheese, and the pastries, while others note small portions, lack of sides with sandwiches, and prices that feel steep for the portion size. Coffee and lattes are hit or miss, and presentation is sometimes marred by expectations that the food should match the decor. Several comments point out that the newer location is convenient and attractive but still pricey, and some brunch and salad choices are deemed average or underwhelming. Overall, the experience is appreciated for quality ingredients and a bakery vibe, but the high prices and inconsistent portions and sides leave some diners wanting more.

Conclusion first: Not going back for sure.

Good: a very beautiful restaurant.

Things to improve: food is really not impressive at all. Chicken burger with no salad or fries, just burger on a big plate? Presentation is poor & it is 26$ before tax! How about making some effort to make the food as pretty as the restaurant decor? Latte is bland.

One thing that is really not okay: the waiter gave us bills without us asking for them. Please don't do this!

Overall disappointing experience. The food was very good, but for 25$ for a sandwich you'd expect at least some sort of side like a salad or fries. The Cuban sandwich was very tasty, & my friend enjoyed her Chicken sandwich. The French toast tasted like plain bread with a side of syrup.

The service however was just plain awful. The waiter was very slow, & also forgetful - I had to ask for the same thing twice, & finally just asked another server who finally came through. I really enjoyed the original location in the Old Port, but this one pales in comparison & simply is not worth it.

Paid 40$ for a to go chicken Cesar salad that just tasted entirely of garlic. Highway robbery. Doesn't even compare to the one In old port 👎

I've been to their original location a bunch of times & this new one is awesome too. We had the Cubain, Chicken melt, cardamom knots, French toast, & soba salad. Everything was great! It is a touch expensive though. Highly recommend!

The chicken melt felt overheated & didn't come with any sides, especially disappointing given the high price. However, the iced chai latte was very good. The waiter told us the wait time would be 5 minutes, but we ended up waiting 20 minutes, which was frustrating.

Thought I'd try this location, hoping it might be better than the Old Port spot, which used to be my go-to. Unfortunately, the same issues persist. The prices are truly outrageous for such small portions & underwhelming quality. How can nearly $30 be justified for a tiny chicken melt sandwich? I honestly can't make sense of it.

The food itself was decent, but paying the bill was painful. I genuinely hope the owners take these reviews to heart. This is honest feedback from a longtime customer who used to eat at the Old Port location weekly. I'd love to support the business again if things changed

It's not cheap, but I think it's good value considering the very high quality of the food. Everything is very good. I love the chicken melt for an indulgent lunch & the salmon salad for something delicious & healthy. Pastries are lattes are excellent. & no wait for a table at this new location.

I visited this restaurant for lunch, but the menu options were quite limited. I'd consider trying it again for breakfast or tea time, as the might be more appealing. Unfortunately, the chicken melt burger didn't meet expectations, but the salmon bowl was delightful fresh, colorful, & full of flavor.
