“Awesome experience at Olin, where we wandered in within an hour of closing, and yet still were made warmly welcome. Our server, Lee, was above and beyond amazing. Every dish was perfect, the cocktails well crafted, and the ambiance wonderful... even with two children; but it was the hospitality that won us over. At the end, the chef even gave us a special treat for the kids. Delightful people worth patronizing. 👌🏽”
“The food was okay. Nice flavor. Enjoyed the 1 artichoke on the chicken. Disappointed it doesn't come with a vegetable. Simply tops arugula. My drink was iced down. My partner loved his...said it was strong & he liked the fish but felt portion was insufficient, as he felt the need to eat again once home. The restaurant design is nice & open. Friendly staff. However, dinner menu is very limited to about 7 items. 3 beef, 1 fish, 1 seafood, 1 vegetarian, & 1 chicken. I would maybe give them another go for lunch or if I see a menu change.”
“I visited yesterday with my God-daughter we ordered a salad, hamburger (which they are supposedly known for) I don't like thatway. burgers are all cooked the same way. You dont have an option. Pork belly (my favorite) and crab cakes (4) nice size! The cakes needed more seafood or something to enhance the flavor. The pork belly was tender and delicious! I would order again ; although i would not want the purple cabbage and the romalade sauce. I would have loved more with some sort of pepper-jelly-jam sauce. The salad was arugula with thinly alices granny Smith. The dressing was very tasty! All in all the food was plentiful but needed more seasoning and slightly different flavor profile for the pork belly.”
“The food seasoning actually very good ,somehow I think we been order too much cause we are not really aware of the per portion of the small plate actually not really small or I am not having a good appetite. But we did ask our server….Moreover, I’ve reserved the table but I got a pretty crappy table maybe cause I am reserved table for 2 pax not sure about the arrangement. Suggest the large plate mussels we ordered maybe need another 30seconds to a minute more to make it perfect. In general I like this place but I wish everybody could work more professionally.”
“The food was good but the discrimination was not. I was in the area by myself for an event and decided to pop into Olin for a bite to eat. I walked in and told the host "I'm a party of one". She said you can't eat in the dining room. You can see by the pictures it was not prime time, I was there on off hours and there were several tables available. I felt this was discrimination as a solo person trying to get some good grub. Luckily I stayed and sat at the bar, because Christopher and the food made up for the rudeness I encountered. The burger was delicious, thick patty with plenty of flavor. The fries, possibly sprinkled with parmasan cheese, or something great.”
