Nice atmosphere but meals are not up to there price.
The lamb salad was very basic and the main chicken meals were very small and quite bland.

There are better places in Nelson to eat better food for less $.

We went here for dinner tonight on a whim a lot of other places seemed to be closed or else people were stuffed in like sardines. It was fantastic!
The food was delicious, my husband had the calamari and I had the brushetta, it was wonderful. We both had the chilli penne and the seafood was cooked to perfection. We shared a bottle of red wine.
The staff were attentive, polite and not overbearing at all.
We are used to eating at restaurants in Wellington and Cafe Olive is definitely up there!

I got a voucher deal for 4 beers and tapas. Great service and atmosphere. Tapas were good mostly just dips on tapas menu, would like to see a few more options. Beers on tap tasty, preferred the pilsner to the lager but that’s just me. Can’t comment on mains cause the tapas actually filled us up which is a good thing. Would recommend.
