    Excellent Food

    We love eating at Olives everytime we are in town. The staff is very attentive, the dinners are delicious, and the desserts are worth every calorie.

    Service good. Food not so much

    Pleasant atmosphere and friendly service! Ordered flank steak that was overdone and had a gravy on it that made it unpalatable. Wasn’t expecting that. Try other options. The bread that was severed was very hard.

    WOW great place in Mankato!

    I definitely recommend OLIVES. When traveling to Mankato I certainly did not expect to find such great food at a quaint restaurant connected to the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown. I was very pleasantly surprised how good the food was and I will go again...More
