A friend and I went to Olives in June.
Assorted breads with olive purees: Excellent. Yeah, it's probably very 2001 or something, but I thought both of the spreads (I liked the green olives better) were amazing with a variety of fresh breadery.
Appetizer: I had seared foie gras and a barbequed duck cube, with some homemade fig marmalade and toast points. It was excellent, if a little overrich.
Main course: I had the swordfish w/lobster beurre blanc. The swordfish was huge, and actually pretty good, but the smoked potatoes had been ridiculously oversmoked (I actually think it might have been a mistake/error/burning). So the predominant flavor was smoke and I was only OK with this dish.
I'd return, but I'd be happy to try something different next time.
