OLIVES, Mankato

We only went for drinks. The service was wonderful and the craft cocktails were very good and innovative. The staff were sanitizing the tables and a little sign was on each table that had been cleaned. We arrived late and they closed at 8:00 PM...so we weren't able to eat. But we will next time!More

responding to Covid

In response to Covid, Olives offered an outdoor dining experience. My friend and I ate outdoors, overlooking a nice park in front of a city building. The restaurant could not offer its buffet but instead had a menu from which you could choose five things...and the wait person brought them to the table. Of course the place was not busy since hardly anyone is staying in hotels these days, but I thought the restaurant did a good job of responding to Covid.More

lunch time

We took my gf out for lunch and did their buffet.. Even thought it was small, it truly was thought out with a nice selection of salads, fruit, sandwiches and wraps.. the bread was fresh and all of it was delicious. When we go back...down to Mankato. this will be on our list of stops to eat again. Truly delicious food, clean and nice quiet restaurant. was able to get a seat close by, was able to relax and service was wonderful. The food smelled great! We loved it. The price shocked us in a good way as we were expecting out cost to be higher than anticipated. the drinks come with the buffet and we were shocked by that. Was worth the lunch and the company and price for a weekend lunch.More

Looking for good food of Mediterranean flavors

Not very busy... greeted quickly and seated in a bit of a dated and worn table set. Menu had a bit of the flavors we came for but not delivering on the quality. Kefta was good but pita bread on both plates was stone cold...... not good and aioli and hummus promised for 2 skewers of beef and chicken were only a tablespoon each... waitress was not around to ask for more. Not good enough to return.More

Go somewhere else.

Came to celebrate a birthday with 5 other people, and had a terrible experience. Best thing we ordered were the wings from appetizer menu. All dinners were cooked poorly and presentation was basically thrown together on each plate. The whole service from start to finish...was over two hours, and hardly any of the tables were taken. Our server spent a lot of time behind the bar watching the television and chatting.More

Third Visit Always a Treat!

This is a small restaurant in the Hilton Garden Inn that simple never disappoints. In all honesty, it’s a top 2 reason why I book this hotel. The menu is complete with Mediterranean specialty dishes and innovative and upscale versions of traditional favorites. I’ve never...been disappointed with anything I’ve ordered. The chicken kabobs are amazing and the French Onion Soup uniquely different and loaded with cheese. Service is always A+. It’s attentive but not intrusive. And it’s nice to be recognized by staff when you return, especially since it’s been almost 6 weeks since I was here. Always a delight!More

Great!

Our service was wonderful we sat at bar since there was only 2 of us and ordered the bread with different topping and it was sooo good. My only issues were drinks very weak and our steak Diane was fabulous but the meat was overdone....Would definitely recommend.More

Nothing special.

If you are eating at this restaurant I highly recommend an urge you not to order the Canadian beer battered walleye fish dinner. It was nothing that I expected it to look or taste like. In fact I can say that without any hesitation in...my 52 years of life it was the worst fish dinner I have ever eaten.More
