We had a really great meal at Olive B's and the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. When we walked in they knew who we were and brought us right to our table. The server was friendly and offered great insights regarding the menu. The 4...of us were all pleased with what we ordered and we walked out satisfied and happy with the experience. Definitely will be back next seasonMore
The food was amazing - but the experience stood out because Mel - our server made it even better. We felt as if we were the only ones in the place.
Small space- need reservations well in advance or try sitting at the small bar. Wines by the glass were excellent. Recommend bison/elk bolognaise. Service was very accommodating and excellent.
Delicious dinner for our family of four last week (kids 12 and 10). As a vegetarian traveling to Montana, I very much welcomed the vegetable risotto!
I made several reservations for our 4 nights in Big Sky and this one did not disappoint! The service was perfect and the food outstanding. With a small but open kitchen, you can watch the chefs work and you could tell they were passionate. The...lobster Mac was unique. Make reservations and enjoy!More
We booked online and looked forward to experiencing the #1 fine dining restaurant in Big Sky. The location is non-descript on the end of a strip mall shopping area. Inside was a normal setup with a central kitchen and moderate amounts of seating. The menu...had some nice starters and we opted for the Blue Cheese crème brûlée. The cocktail menu was limited but had some nice offerings so we each got a drink. After the starter the entrees were underwhelming. For the location they didn't have much in the way of local sourced fare. Alaskan salmon, Maine lobster, Gulf shrimp...nothing from Montana or surrounding area. Best I could select was the bison bolognaise which was lean on protein/meat sauce and not seasoned with much else. It may have been a sleeper kids menu item... The eggplant burrata also disappointed. The "crispy" was being covered in breading and soft eggplant inside. We opted against dessert, cut our losses and left without refreshing our drinks. This is not to detract from our server and the overall service was prompt, courteous and friendly. Follow up to the meal...after leaving and talking with a local a few days later we got a fuller picture. The restaurant has a new chef/manager and they have been changing the menu slightly but without too much disruption to keep the loyal locals coming in. As a business model, I totally understand. That said, the locals are content with some pretty average fare and someone from outside coming in for a fine dining experience should probably skip it.More
If you’re ever in Big Sky, give this restaurant a try! Very neat place with delicious food. Even though dessert was last, I have to mention it first! One of the best crème brûlées I’ve ever had! I love crème brûlée and this was delicious!...The calamari was perfectly crisp and the presentation was unique. The crab cakes were good, but I wasn’t a big fan of the sauce. However, overall, the meal was very good.More
Reservations are recommended, nice atmosphere, service was wonderful even in the bar area, the appetizers and entrees were all excellent! Highly recommend eating at Olive B’s!
Make sure to make a reservation if you want to sit down to dinner. We were so lucky to find two seats at the bar. The bartender was not friendly.
Everything was excellent. The food, the timing of the food to the table, the servers, the atmosphere. We loved it. So glad we happened upon this great end to our trip
We made a special drive to Big Sky for a lunchtime visit to this highly rated restaurant. Their website boldly announced “We are open!” and listed daily lunchtime hours. Upon arrival, the restaurant was locked up tight, with a printed message on the door that...lunch operations have been indefinitely suspended because of a worker shortage. We feel it is disrespectful to customers to make this announcement solely at the door. In the age of the internet, a change in operating hours must be communicated online. We hope your remaining employees are being treated with just a bit more care. Best of luck getting everything back on track in Big Sky, we’ll try again another time.More
This was recommended to us by a local. We went for anniversary dinner, and the food was amazing. My husband said the eggplant parm was best he ever had, and I loved my shrimp and grits. Wen ended up asking to eat on the front...porch area because inside was too noisy to carry on a conversation. The mud pie dessert was outstanding as well— only reason I did not give a 5 star was noise level. Liz, our waitress, was fabulous!More
What an amazing restaurant! We dined here for my husbands birthday and it was delicious. We ordered the olive green salad, crab cakes, bolognese pasta, berries and the skillet cookie. Service was impeccable and the drinks were fabulous. We will definitely be back!
Great dinner with friends. Lobster mac and cheese was delicious; the elk and halibut dinner portions were wonderful. Mud cake for dessert hit the spot. We will return!
Good food, good service, average at best. Friendly staff, and good atmosphere. One of my biggest pet peeves; dirty plates, silverware and shredded appetizers sitting in the middle of the table for a prolonged period of time. If I have to remind someone to take...the dishes and clear the table greater than twenty min, its an issue.More
