Simply put, Olives is a fantastic restaurant. It exceeded my expectations in almost every regard. We visited Olives during October, and thus the temperature outside in Las Vegas was beautiful. We requested a seat on the outdoor patio so we could watch the fountains during our meal. The atmosphere outdoors was a lot of fun! Olives is possibly the only location where you can view the Bellagio fountain show from a seated location. Every 15 minutes when a fountain show started, everyone paused to watch the fountains.

The food itself was also quite good. I was slightly surprised at the portion size - the food portions were larger than I thought they would be for a restaurant of this quality. The main entree I ordered, chestnut raviloi, was excellent. It was a unique combination, and the ravioli tasted rich and buttery. I was slightly disappointed in the dessert I ordered. The quality was good, but it cost $12, and wasn’t quite up to par with the rest of the meal.

Reservations are required at Olives, but strangely enough, they outsource their reservations, so you can’t make them simply by walking to the desk at the Bellagio. They have a phone number you can call to make reservations. Before you do, double check the fountain schedule so you can make sure the fountains will be operating while you are dining. If possible, definitely sit outside on the patio. Although it is quieter indoors, the atmosphere outdoors is really unique, and it’s just great to be able to watch the fountain show while enjoying your dinner.
