    We had an incredible dining experience! Justin was super thoughtful. He knew we were splitting one of the meals and had the kitchen do two separate plates. He brought out a special drink for our 21yo birthday as well as let them pick a dessert! We love Olive + Oak! Justin was the perfect server for us!

    The food was delicious and the service great!! There was apparently a mix up with our reservation and the staff very quickly made arrangements to get us seated. We were given a small private room with a fireplace scene on the TV for ambiance! Servers were knowledgeable and efficient. We have already recommended the restaurant to friends!
