Olivia is a civilized restaurant for grown-ups, with comfortable seating, subdued light, and upscale decor. Unlike many hot spots, you can actually have a conversation here (even at a large table). Locally sourced ingredients, carefully prepared by chef/owner James Holmes and his stellar staff, are a reminder of the “fine” part of fine dining.
