Hands up for Olives!
Reviewed on Thursday, 20 December 2007
The food here is seasonally imaginative and extremely well-prepared- great for sharing with a large group! His executive chef, Mike Crain, sustains Todd's English penchant for complexity of flavors and ingredients with a level hand. There is a copious, first-class wine list to compliment all of the terrific food. I highly recommend you to ask the waiter for his opinion on wine pairings- this Olives really knows how to enhance each individual dish with sweet wine selections. If you are down for a sweet and savory cocktail, try Todd's lychee martini...hands down, one of the best I've had above 14th street. The ambiance and decor is classic meets traditional. You will undoubtedly forget that you are inside of the trendy W Hotel as you mingle with the born-and bred Manhattanites. I came here for the EATS Christmas dinner but would come back again and again with a smaller group of friends...Todd accommodates all sizes. Olives is all style, grace, and elegance.
