We have been to Los Olivos many times but had never had dinner at the Los Olivos Cafe. We had a great experience. We both had pot roast, which was excellent. Corkage was $15 which was reasonable. Service was good. We definitely would go back again. It was one of the best meal we had in the area more

I was here over this past weekend celebrating a friends birthday. We had driven up from Los Angeles, wine tasted during the day and were looking forward to a nice celebratory dinner. We had 8:30 reservations and were there right on time. We did get seated right away, our waitress was attentive but we had barely ordered some wine when... more

Decent food. Nothing to write home about, but the service was great and they have a great wine list. Eat out on the terrace if the weather is nice.

Arrived for lunch on a sat in early Nov with no reservation, only had a 20 min wait for a table, so that was good. Shared the Artisan Cheese Plate & the Estaca’- (Grilled Beef Skewers Marinated with Spanish Spices) and a wild mushroom pizza. The cheese plate was underwhelming, which was a shame as I was looking forward to... more

After having seen sideways I was super excited to eat at Los Olivos Cafe'. When we got there the restaurant smelled like sewer. The smell in the cafe' was so awful we had to leave. more
