- JJenniferGoldPhiladelphia County •18 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe food that we had was exceptional. There was a guacamole and prawns appetizer special that should absolutely be on the regular menu - so good. My husband said the bread was great. I had the scallops and he had a halibut special and we both remarked about how great they were. Even the julienned vegetables were perfectly cooked. Felix was a terrific server. I hope this level of quality continues as this restaurant establishes itself because it was excellent.More infoOLIVEA$$$$• Contemporary American• Ridgewood, New Jersey•4.4
