I am still trying to decide if I want to post about our horrid experience at Olives last year (during the baseball season). We had plans to eat dinner and then go to the Reds game. The waitstaff was careless and the food was disgusting. really, disgusting.

The best park about Olives is its location. The atmosphere inside is great, the food is good to average, but the location in the heart of Clifton’s historic Ludlow Avenue business district is absolutely fantastic.

I had the same experiene at Olives. The veggie sanwich I ordered sounded so good and was so disappointing! I thought that the place had a lot of potential.

I live in Clifton and have yet to venture to Olives. I don’t know what it is, but I am not tempted to dine there. Part of it is the name…I associate it with green olives, which I don’t like. Another thing is the gimmick they sometimes do on weekends with a huge light on the street that they shine all over the neighborhood. It’s just over the top. So…I haven’t gone in.
I just wish this restaurant were GREAT. We need GREAT restaurants in Cincinnati, and that one has a wonderful location and atmosphere…
Someday i’ll get in there to see for myself.

Olives has an excellent brunch on the weekends. Vegetarian breakfast food is a little more tasty than the lunch/dinner fare

Olives is one of my favorite neighborhood eateries – but I have to concur with your review. I’m not a vegetarian – and it serves me well at Olives. They have excellent burgers, sandwiches and their Cobb salad is to die for…but none of those are in the realm of vegetarian-friendly.
