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.

A Cuban sandwich layered with pancetta & slow-roasted pork, melted raw-milk Gruyère stretching between warm bread, brightened with lime, cilantro, crunchy pickles, & a smoky chipotle mayo. Crisp outside, juicy & savory inside. Every bite hits sweet, salty, tangy, & smoky all at once. 🥪🔥

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.
