Reviews for Cafe Olive

by ingrid 27th April 2013: Nice atmosphere but meals are not up to there price.
The lamb salad was very basic and the main chicken meals were very small and quite bland.

There are better places in Nelson to eat better food for less $.
by Jenny H. 12th April 2013: We went here for dinner tonight on a whim a lot of other places seemed to be closed or else people were stuffed in like sardines. It was fantastic!
The food was delicious, my husband had the calamari and I had the brushetta, it was wonderful. We both had the chilli penne and the seafood was cooked to perfection. We shared a bottle of red wine.
The staff were attentive, polite and not overbearing at all.
We are used to eating at restaurants in Wellington and Cafe Olive is definitely up there!

by Rose B. 12th June 2011: A friend of mine booked me at Cafe Olive a dinner for two..when we get there,the staff were very accommodating and assist our orders immediately. hmmm ..the food (tapas) were so great and yummy…they even give us another set of bread (don’t know what its called) and a hot chocolate for free…it is our first time but i know it wouldn’t be a last…. thumbs up!!!
My rate 9/10 keep it up.
by Mereana B. 2nd April 2011: I got a voucher deal for 4 beers and tapas. Great service and atmosphere. Tapas were good mostly just dips on tapas menu, would like to see a few more options. Beers on tap tasty, preferred the pilsner to the lager but that’s just me. Can’t comment on mains cause the tapas actually filled us up which is a good thing. Would recommend.
