Reviews of Olive & Ivy (Coffee Shop)

Tara Hughes

Amazing food, I could eat their pesto with a spoon. Great service, and their coffee REALLY impressed me! sooo yummy

Chuck Dornfield

It is just all around tasty food. Always do lunches there and it is a great atmosphere. Servers always look happy. Gotta give it 5 Stars and in the approximatly 50 times I have gone there to eat every single time has been amazing!

Tiffany Oda

I've been here twice, once for dinner and once for brunch. Both for big parties of ten or more. (+) Good private rooms for larger parties. (+) Flat breads are really good. (+) Good cocktails, good wine selection. (+) Pastas are good. (+) Benedict is good.

Jordan Benson

Some truly high quality food but the price matches the drapes. Lots of drinking options to chose from, suitable for Scottsdale snobs lol

Ben Edwards

This place is awesome if you want to go to lunch or dinner with a large group of people. They have an awesome great room for special occasions. Their food is awesome and wait staff are super friendly.

matthew setzer

The chicken was the best ive ever had in my life. Worth every penny. Beautiful outside seating. Small menu but highly recommended.

Jonathan Conlin

Great food and drinks. The lamb meatballs and the red sangria are always a must when we go here. On our latest trip we had Landis as our waiter and he was great!

Anthony Blazej

Stylish eatery, varied menu with many unusual offerings. Food was delicious and service was fast. Try the brussettas for quick modest sized lunch

Michael Austin

Went there September 21, 2019 on a Saturday. Not looking to be critical or anything... just sit and have a nice time. While waiting for people to show, I sat in the "to go" area and looked at the menu. The prices were considerably higher in the sit down part of the restaurant. I ordered the tuna sandwich and fries (how could you mess that up). The tuna sandwich was tasteless... and the bread was tough (tuff). How could you get bread that was hard to chew! They should hire a real chef to oversee recipes and the monitoring of outdated or old food. For the prices you pay you would think you could get at least a hint of quality. At least the service was good.

Lauren Farrar

One of my favorite restaurants in Scottsdale. Delicious food and great ambiance

Brittany Gutberg

My favorite restaurant in Scottsdale! We usually go at least twice when we visit Scottsdale. The salmon is delicious (really everything is)! Also a great place for brunch! I wish they would open an Olive & Ivy in Denver!

Maggie Fox

The whole vibe is super cool. I sat outside right by the canal. The bruschetta was amazing as well as the mules. The sweet potato cannelloni is to die for and a must have when you are there

DIVA'S WORLD - CUSTOM MADE

Great Atmosphere. I love sitting outside sipping my wine. Check out my blog on YouTube- DIVA'S WORLD - CUSTOM MADE

Paula Davis

Slowwwww service...food was tasty and nice presentation. Would like to see a little change up on the happy hour menu.

Laser Gals Skin Studio

Every time I drive to Scottsdale from Yuma I have to eat here. I loveeeeeee the beet salad. Most of the time they are so busy I just sit at the chefs table and watch the amazing work the crew do to get the food out.

Julie Mahoney

We had an excellent server and my sea bass was outstanding. Nice atmosphere, good selection of wines.

Larry Haddon

We have been there a few times. First time though we were not so pleased. We got served a glass of wine in a dirty glass. It had prints on it so maybe the waitress. No excuse for the dirty rim though clearly one that got by. I've been to many restaurants for a nice place like this no excuse for the waitress to smell the milk and tell me it wasn't dirty. All your lights need cleaning they are in need of maintenance. Enjoyed my waiter very much. Bar girl ? We will return just a little disappointed on this trip.

Laura danellea Coitron'e

This place is really booshie and kind of upscale, This place is incredible such ambiance and it's pretty big. You can see the kitchen it's pretty amazing. The food was incredible. I had their sangria and let me tell you

J Mason

Olive & Ivy is a favorite of mine. Always get great service. Tried a new cocktail - Amalfi Sunset. I often find cocktails too sweet, but this one is very good.

Hayden Moore

One of my wife’s and mines favorite newly found restaurant. Prices are really good for the quality of service you get! We’ve been back twice now and have liked everything we’ve eaten there! You have to get the hummus!

Amanda Johnson

This is by far one of my fav restaurants. My husband and I go at least once a month. The bread and pesto are amazing. The brunch is fun and the mimosas are cheap and yummy. The dinner is delicious as well. The salmon Cesar salad and fritto misto app are my favorite. It’s a must try and the vibe/environment is perfection.

Daniela Espinel

The food was really good and the place has a really nice outside sitting, service was good too. I recommend it if you want a nice dinner.

Tam Gonzalez

Awesome atmosphere and friendly staff we loved this place. Had cocktails and the best burger I’ve ever tasted.

Eric Gallagher

Great experience. Outside dining super comfortable and our waitress Sarah was rad!

Lucy Roberts

Really lovely place. They were very accommodating of me being vegan and the dishes were tasty. Our server, Nicole, was a ray of sunshine ☀️

Pradeep Gali

I don't eat pork. Have ordered for grilled chicken sandwich. Pork in grilled chicken sandwitch was served.

Vanessa Westmoreland

Out of this world! The menu was well balanced, our server was courteous and knowledgeable and the food... well, every bite from hummus plate, bruschetta trio, sweet potato cannelloni to lemon cake with burnt sugar ice cream and lemon meringue stars were all slowly savored yet mindfully devoured! An excellent experience!!!

Gail Peterson

Music was too loud. Our family sat in silence during the meal because it was impossible to talk comfortably with the DJ's music on Saturday night. Food was great, decor is elegant yet comfortable, but instead of a relaxing evening, I was stressed from the pounding of the music.

Eric Khun

Highly recommend the sweet potato pasta. Something you can't find anywhere else, and it's also a vegetarian dish! It's on the sweet side, so be prepared! We took all type of bruschettas, my favorite one for was the one with salmon. Great atmosphere, great service, I'd have seat in the patio if I knew!

Erin Mackey

We were a little worse for wear after hiking up and down Camelback Mountain, but Stone took excellent care of our large bachelorette group. Everything we had was delicious. The service was efficient and excellent. Beautiful atmosphere out on the patio. We were treated to a unexpected dessert in celebration of our bride-too-be. A must do for lunch or dinner in Scottsdale.

Noelani Cairns

I was absolutely blown away with the atmosphere and the beautiful patio but not super impressed with the food. The menu is about average and you can find a lot of similar dishes at other local restaurants but the environment and location still make this a must in the Scottsdale area. Our server for the evening was Nicole and she was absolutely lovely and really made our experience at Olive & Ivy a positive one!

Parent Family

had lunch there a couple days ago. great service. small portions. the eat one take one deal. what a joke/gimmick. both portions were like the child menu. and the take home portion was even smaller. NEVER AGAIN !!!!!!!

Kranthi Muthavarapu

One of my favorite restaurants in Scottsdale. Great ambience and tasty food.

William Daniel

Hip vibe without being too hip. A beautiful location. Good inventive food. Prices are reasonable considering the location. The Olive & Ivy Marketplace is a real find for a pastry and coffee in the morning.

David Marcus

Very clean, beautiful establishment that runs like clockwork despite always being busy. Food is consistently great and pricing is reasonable. I have attended a private even here as well and the food was fabulous.

Michelle Silverman

Our server Mike was the best, we had a group in for a birthday and he did everything perfectly! Couldn't ask for better service from beginning to end! My bone-in Ribeye was cooked to perfection. Thanks Mike we will definitely be back!

Sandra Weister

Wonderful place to eat, if you have the opportunity sit at the Chef's table, then you really see how it all works. A great team of Chef's.

Rosaline Soria

The food is prepared in excellent manner, the seasonings, spices, flavors are all just right of blend that work so good together. The servers that wait on you so attentive and courteous. The setting is so comfortable, depending on what you are needing. A restaurant that really knows how to serve their customer. One of my favorite and all worth the drive. Never disappointed.

beta Mercado

Really good food!! Super reasonable

Ryan Ricciardi

Olive and Ivy was delightful. The menu has a little bit of everything, our waitress was super fun, the prices were great for what they offered in quality and quantity, and the environment is just incredible. It somehow manages to be inclusive and private all at once. A total pleasure from start to finish. If you don't know where to go in Phoenix, Olive and Ivy is a perfect dinner spot, and there are plenty of fun night life spots close by.

Adrienne Sharma

Always delicious! Their selection of fresh seafood is wonderful. The drinks here are also to die for. This is a lively restaurant, and I would suggest having a reservation.

lyfesadream

WOW. Not only is this restaurant aesthetically pleasing but the staff are super friendly and the menu is absolutely delicious! If you ever visit on a day with good weather I highly recommend sitting in their outdoor space - absolutely beautiful with the trees and the sound of chirping birds. Cocktails are refreshing and their food is to die for! My table enjoyed sharing the Seasonal Chef Board a lot! Had a little bit of everything for everyone. My Chicken Panini was made perfectly and everyone else raved about their entrees as well. Can't wait to frequent this gem more often. I really wish I remembered our waiters name but he was a delight and super funny!

Alicia Bartz

My face lunch and happy hour spot in Old Town

Whohas Mylogin

This food is awful.. if you like meat. Also, if you are made of money you should go here for sure. They will show you how to spend it!

Darla Myers

I had a wonderful experience at Olive and Ivy and most of it was due to Jill Davis who was my server and took special time and attention to make sure that I ordered exactly what I was wanting. She was attentive and professional and took time to make me feel very welcome in the restaurant. In addition to that my food was absolutely excellent. I had scallops that were served over a creamed corn and it was wonderful with a bacon drizzle. I eat scallops everywhere I go and they were cooked to perfection good seer on the outside and tender on the inside I would suggest the peanut butter mousse to anybody who went there it was absolutely delicious. I’ve been to Olive and Ivy Approximately 6 times over the past seven years (because I’m from out of town) and have never been disappointed but this time was especially magnificent in-service, presentation and delivery of excellent food. Thank you very much to all the staff at Olive and Ivy who made this possible.

Jodi Ellis

Excellent environment Excellent selections Excellent wine menu. If you have never been here it is a must when in Old Town

White Lily Films

Duh, the best restaurant FRC has. Get that bread and pesto and take some home.

Steffi May

This place is amazing. Great service. Great food. Felt like being in Europe sitting outdoors by the canal.

Ruby Howard

Very high end restaurant, known for the best quality service and food. The service was lacking at our table. The scallops and gelato were phenomenal. They forgot our salad, and to ask how we wanted our steak done. We had to have them make it again, and then the steak was much better.

Marc Maloney

I visited Olive & Ivy with a group of friends for dinner while in town and will come definitely return. The service was outstanding, the food was amazing and the place has a really cool vibe. I ordered a filet with mushrooms and it was one of the best I’ve ever had! The server was so accommodating when I mentioned an allergy and concern with the side dish that came with it and I really appreciated it. Wine was good too! Looking forward to returning.

Barbabas Kevan

I arrived for happy hour after exploring Fashion Square for most of the day. I liked the look of the happy hour loung patio so I opted to sit there. New to this area and style of dining, I chose a table that had two ladies. They were about to leave and eagerly handed over their seats. I kicked back and lounged to make myself comfortable before I ordered a drink.

Rob Piazza

If you're into a place with overpriced salty food that is average at best, along with ridiculously small portions, then this is your place. Olive & Ivy is more about taking your money than offering any kind of value or quality!!

Matthew Schmitt

This is my favorite local restaurant to spend some quality time and enjoy some good quality food! Staff is really nice and i love the fact that place is well maintained and highly decorated!!

Nick Miner

Great for coffee, lunch, happy hour or dinner! Most recent outting was for a coffee meeting with a client.

Ray Smith

This is one of THE best places for food, service and ambiance. I took my wife and mother-in-law here today for Sunday brunch. This is a tough crowd I hang with . My wife's mom is a hard to please WW2 French war bride that is very opinionated and expects what we had today for lunch all the time, which rarely happens. You got to try the $6 weekend mimosas! Poured at our table by a great waiter (Zach).

Zach Sherborne

I'm a 25+ year veteran in the restaurant industry, currently operating 7 restaurants in Houston. It's rare for me to write reviews, but this place is worthy of my effort. My wife and I actually intended to eat at another restaurant down the road, but after horrible service before we even had the chance to order anything, we decided to come here after an amazing experience at Culinary Dropout the night before. It was remarkable from the moment we were seated! We were greeted by our server Jesse, and then had a follow up greet by another server shortly after, to ensure that we had already been taken care of. The food was amazing as we did a small tour of the menu. Definitely ordered more than we should have, but we finished everything and even piled on some dessert. Everything was amazing, especially our server. I was really impressed with the quality of everything and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Working in the restaurant industry, it can be frustrating to dine out. I'm overly critical about everything from the food, to service, to music, to the overall ambiance and it takes a lot to impress me. We will definitely be making our way back here when we visit again in the future.

Garrard Wareing

I had a great pasta dish for my main course. Pasta was cooked well and there was a great assortment of veggies in there. My dessert was a healthy portion of strawberry mango sorbet, super yummy! I stayed a few days in Phoenix and struggled to find a decent meal--this was by far the best meal I had on my trip! All the servers were awesome and the restaurant had a great ambiance. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

Lin Hammond

The Iced Tea was excellent. Our sever was great. The hummus was good. The food was excellent. They allow you to bring pets in the take out section. I will definitely return for that fantastic feature. More places should allow our pets which are family to us. I plan on returning. All the food looked delicious. The open kitchen was clean and organized.

Jodi Priebe

Hands down one of the best restaurants in the valley........probably why there is always an hour wait to get seated. The drinks are amazing and the food is even better. The outside atmosphere is amazing in the cooler months. Highly recommend this place!!!!

Alec Gefrides

Always great, nice patio with trees, misters, and great atmosphere on canal.

Audrey Jung

Charming restaurant in a great location. Loved the clam chowder and pesto bread. A great place to meet with friends for lunch.

Larry McDonald

Great eating establishment in the heart of the Scottsdale waterfront area! Delicious food, charming atmosphere with a gelato shop to boot!

Michelle Lewis

We didn't recieve service on the patio, after 10 minutes went back to the hostess for a table. Atmosphere is casual & presentation of the bacon wrapped dates was appealing. Priced well, especially for Scottsdale.

Johnny Gomez

I visited Olive & Ivy with a group of friends for dinner while in town and will come definitely return. The service was outstanding, the food was amazing and the place has a really cool vibe. I ordered a filet with mushrooms and it was one of the best I’ve ever had! The server was so accommodating when I mentioned an allergy and concern with the side dish that came with it and I really appreciated it. Wine was good too! Looking forward to returning.

Leslee O'Neal

So good! Of course it's a Fox restaurant. The patio is so charming, the inside is full of good vibes and our server was so awesome and had great recommendations. The sweet potato cannelloni was so good and the chocolate peanut butter mousse dessert was absolutely to die for! Great wine selection too.

Sonamjeet Kaur

From drinks to food, everything was amazing. Their pesto sauce is one of the best sauce I have ever tried. Definitely coming back whenever we visit Scottsdale again!!

Kyle Freeman

Great location, staff, food and beer selection. Sitting out back on the patio overlooking the water was a great change of pace from most places in Scottsdale.

Sharon Grannis

Olive&Ivy never disappoints! The patio is furnished with comfortable seating and perfectly placed for conversation. Tapas and wine list are paired wonderfully. One of Scottsdale's finest restaurants.

Pancake

5 Stars. The service was great, food was also great, and our server helped us choose a bruschetta that went well with our plates! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking into going here. Special shoutout to Frank for being our server! :)

M C Ertem

Absolutely wonderful! Great service, great food. Came back a second evening, after enjoying dinner previous night. Shrimp scampi risotto was outstanding. So was the kale salad. The pesto / olive oil dip was excellent. I had that with their bread the first night. The second night, I brought with me a bag of Stacy's bare naked pita chips, which went even better with the Pesto dip. Who would think that Arizona has such a place for the best shrimp risotto??? Sat outside by the dry 'river' and the atmosphere was perfect. Just casual enough, yet civilized. Would definitely come here again if I were ever to return to Phoenix... Did I mention I really liked it?

Lejon Vinson

This was my first time here. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. I order from the breakfast menu. My niece and sister order the flat bread with ribs. And kale salad. Very good. I would recommend this place if your looking for a nice brunch. It's surrounded by beautiful scenery. You have the option to eat in as well as outdoors. I hope this helps someone.

Sandra Lynsdale

Relaxing atmosphere dining in the outdoor patio that's backs onto the river. Great wine selections and fresh and tasty food.

Christopher Denny

Great breakfast/brunch and very hospitable staff. Would highly recommend when visiting Scottsdale.

Rebecca Hurtado

Amazing service and such great tasting food

Maria Reister

We love olive and ivy but the service was horrible! Never really had bad service before.

Vincent Gauthier-Dore

This is a really big restaurant. I was there with a group and despite that, my meal was of very good quality. I found the cuisine to be creative. Service was also excellent.

Jed Fontelera

Great food and service from Sam. I recommended the hummus as a starter and the short rib flatbread. Reasonable prices and a great atmosphere.

EJ Gonzalez

A good place to eat breakfast, no rush take your time type. I brought my wife here and we enjoyed the food and location. Crowd is not loud so you can have a good normal voice discussion

Steven Schultz

Upscale, yet casual. I did not get picture of the food. I was in a slight rush as it was a lunch break from work. But the service was fantastic and very attentive. I felt that the experience was all about my family and the food. I did not worry too much about the environment or the service. Which is why the food was so enjoyable. I would recommend the date wrapped in bacon. It does come with a proper sauce under it. So if you are sensitive to spicy, think of removing it. The Reuben was very tasty, a little greasy from the butter that it was fried in. The soup of the day was a little too earthy for my wife.i thought it was ok.

Kevin Delvalle

Really enjoyed my breakfast. Had coffee, bagel and oakmeal. Was excellent and staff were so nice. They take the next step as busy as it is. They were very friendly and did not rush you. They had places to sit out. I was able to refill my coffee free when I finished so that was a nice perk. I would go there again if I am at the airport and wanted something to eat!

Amy Ramey

Fantastic! Blood orange paloma was so refreshing, and my salad and half sandwich were equally wonderful!

Taylor Bundy

Olive & Ivy probably has one of the largest outdoor patios in Arizona, and it’s beautiful. There are plenty of trees and planters, and it’s right along the canal. The food is delicious and we’ve never had a bad meal. The only downside is it tends to be pricey.

Maria Stahl

We had a team dinner here after a day of meetings. Great place to unwind, and not so noisy that we could not hear one another but noisy enough to put us at ease. Our waiter was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Food was good; we all ordered something different, and 5 of the 6 of us raved about our entree. Desserts are very large and rich. Plan on sharing or having some for breakfast the next day! Only thing I would suggest as an improvement would be tap beers. Everything is in cans or bottles.

M Black

First time going there with my husband in our Anniversary. And we enjoyed our time. I'm finishing up my meal and it started pouring down on us (rain). All and all, we had a nice evening and dinner was excellent. We ate out on the patio. Made me feel extra fancy with the scenery of the place.

glen davis

ate late breakfast there today; ordered new. French toast for $12 dollars, it was fairly good, but only one piece of toast; no potatoes, no eggs, no bacon nothing but a glob of jam!!! what a rip-off!!! complained to the manager, but he did nothing; therefore we won't be going to eat there again!!!

Zachary Herb

Olive and Ivy is a Mediterranean themed bar and restaurant situated just off the canal in Scottsdale. We stopped by for date night and were impressed with the sophisticated yet comfortable vibe. The patio has enough shade and misters to beat the Arizona heat, and I’d highly recommend a table outside. If not, they had a full bar and dining area, limited lounge seating, and a gelato/coffee bar for quick, lighter options. The menu does strive for a broader Mediterranean inspired flavor than a specific cuisine like French or Italian. They offer complimentary focaccia bread that is phenomenal by itself, but even better with their pesto. We continued the carb intake with the bruschetta...you can’t go wrong with the salmon lox. We also ordered the seasonal chef’s board and were impressed by the quality and variety it offers. Service was attentive and friendly throughout our experience, and that was true of both our waiter and the food runner. Ultimately, this is a phenomenal spot for any occasion with a menu diverse enough for most pallets. Highly recommend!

Natalie Peters

Great Italian food and atmosphere! Heard about it for years and finally got to go for my friend's birthday it was perfect

Tiler Speak

This is our go to restaurant whenever we're in Scottsdale. The food, wait staff, atmosphere and location are all excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating right on the Waterfront, casual dining or self-serve, it is simply THE best place to eat and socialize in the valley. We have eaten here many times and have yet to be disappointed. Our dinner was pleasant and enjoyable! The service was high level and attentive. The environment was upbeat and current with a trendy vibe. The food was excellent overall. The only complaint was an over done steak, a bone in ribeye!

Brent Faas

Great outdoor patio! Great staff! Great food!

george parides

Went for a pre happy hour afternoon snack on a Saturday. WOW. Although menu was limited at that hour, food was great, service was great, outdoor patio was Fabulous.

Julie Sweeney

The salmon I added to my salad was AMAZING!! My sever Frank was the great he has good timing and provided good insight to the menu and wine pairings!

Jacob Krum

Olive and Ivy is a great place to eat. Awesome atmosphere and great staff. I suggest trying the turkey grinder if you're here for lunch. Enjoy!

SheBrat Patterson

Great food, good service. Way too loud with the DJ for NYE. Would have gotten 5 stars if it weren't that loud and the waiter initially gave us the wrong check. They were busy and it an oversight but we very nearly paid for a 3rd person to dine with us. Food was so good! Mediterranean Salad with Shrimp is a meal in itself! Big Thick Shrimp were yummy as was the tomato, cucumber, feta. slivered almonds, couscous and the greens dressed perfectly. Boyfriend had the Beat Salad mostly so I could try it and YUM I like beats! Then the scallops with Brussels Sprouts and Polenta was superb and he really enjoyed his bacon wrapped pork tenderloin. We will return for another special occasion.

Bryan

Prosciutto & fig bruschetta. Split the veal/spinach ravioli and a large chopped chicken salad ~ everything was fresh and tasty. The servers were very friendly, thoughtful and accommodating. Highly recommend for lunch.

Patrick Nogal

A great breakfast spot for a quick bite. Service is always good and fast. Breakfast potatoes are to die for!

Michael Grollman

Enjoyed the ravioli and the fine service. Atmosphere are quite nice for a business lunch.

eugeneschwartz

First time eating here and it was s great experience. Beautiful decor and fun vibe. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. Artichoke truffle flatbread was delicious as well as the wild mushroom pasta. Great martini also. My wife enjoyed her sea bass. Prices were quite reasonable for such an upscale place.

Howard Kalender

Went for restaurant week Server was reluctant to show us the special menu for the fixed price Then he was very reluctant to offer us the glass of wine that was included WTF If the restaurant did not want patrons to order the prefix menu then should not be on the list Not pleasant to be snobbed by a 25 year old server that most likely lives in his parents garage Food was very good except for the salmon that the server recommended Was returned twice

Melody Moua

My friends reserved a table to do a mini celebration of me getting married in a few months. As soon as I walked in, the man (I didn’t get his name) walked me to my table. He automatically knew that I was the bride-to-be and was very kind. Rich was our server. He was very funny and amazing. He knew everything on the menu, had amazing recommendations, & even joined in on some of my girlfriends our conversations. Everyone there is professional and the food was DELICIOUS! It is a bit pricey but I promise it’s worth it. Such a beautiful and classy place to be. We had a wonderful time.

Helen Lynch

I love this place and visit quite often..however I was disappointed one morning when we came to visit for coffee that you can not sit inside, we sat for 15 mins and no one came to say they are not serving. N

Shannon Kasallis

I was apprehensive to go to this restaurant because it seemed "trendy" to me. But I am so glad I did. There is so much to say, the food really is delicious. The waiters are knowledgeable about the food, and ours encouraged us to try something and we loved it. The outside patio is huge and on a waterftont; the waterfront often has art exhibits over it or nearby. A spacious restaurant inside and out with elegant modern decor.

Perks Advisor

This is a large American style restaurant with something for everyone from salads to pizza to pork. Enjoyable atmosphere and staff except they heavily push alcoholic drinks. I found the food variety to be good, but not particularly distinctive.

Michael Donnelly

Took my girlfriend and her parents on a nice, toasty Sunday. We got the always-awesome braised rib flatbread and the lamb gyro to pass around the table, along with a delicious cheddar-flour soup, then finished it off with the peanut butter mousse (so many flavors and textures). Our server Christina was very attentive and upbeat, overall a very good experience. My only complaint was the menu is a bit limited for lunch compared to the dinner menu, but still worth the trip.

tammy Davis

Went to have a nice brunch with my husband, What a disappointment, save your time and money and go somewhere else, server recommended the French Toast for $12.00 and I specifically asked her if it was shareable, she stated yes it’s a large portion, You can bet I was surprised when one small piece of French toast showed up on a bare plate no syrup no nothing but a spoonful of jam and 1 teaspoon of butter! I thought she had the kitchen split it and they forgot the other plate! It was the most ridiculous meal I’d ever been served! Talked to the manager but he didn’t seem to be bothered about it, so I won’t bother to ever return and tell friends and family to skip this restaurant as well

Jennifer Lykken

I love the setting of this place! Classy but not too formal. The portions are huge. You definitely get what you pay for in quantity and quality! The banana Walnut gelato was to die for! The flavor was fantastic and they really packed in a ton of walnuts!

Savannah Smith

Had a birthday dinner here and the service was terrible. Our server did not even check up on us once. I know this is a trendy restaurant but the consistent bad service is unacceptable especially at such a high end restaurant. Birthday dinner tab came out to be $350 which I am not complaining but the lack of attention to our table was beyond horrifying especially for a special occasion. Other tables had their drinks refilled while our server avoided us like the plague. Our bread and olive oil were not brought out. We waited almost 40 minutes for our food. We had reservations and when we booked we mentioned it was for a birthday. Not only did we not get our bread and olive oil while other tables got theirs, our server did not come back and ask if we needed anything. I'm not asking for free dessert by any means but after the terrible service you would've thought the birthday person would get a slice of free cake or something to compensate for our table to be ignored but we never got the chance to ask and our whole party was so dissatisfied with the service and the ruined night that we paid AND still left 20 percent gratuity for our awful server. Do not trust this place for special occasions. Honestly get better service at low end fast food restaurants.

D.A. Miles

The mushroom pasta dish was incredible! Noisy inside but the patio seating was more peaceful.

Sarah Rittenhouse

We have been to Olive & Ivy several times before now and absolutely loved our experience, especially the bread and pesto that comes free with every meal. We always ask for a second helping because it’s so delicious! We loved everything from the artichoke appetizer to the strawberry tart dessert. What really made this restaurant experience stand apart was the truly exemplary service from Frank. He was just the right amount of attentive without being in your face. Frank had a wonderful sense of humor and provided prompt service. The atmosphere was also just perfect for a date night. We actually sat on the patio, even though it was 101° out today but with the shade and the misters it was a perfect temperature. My husband and I would highly recommend Olive & Ivy in future to any couple looking for a romantic night out in Scottsdale! Next time we go, we will definitely request a seat in Frank’s section!
