All staff friendly and professional. Super efficient too. Didn’t wait at all to sit, order and served. Love the ambiance and the food is so beautifully presented and taste just as good as it looks. Reasonably priced for such a creative high end food. My favorite Mexican restaurant in all of Denver.

Came to Olivia to celebrate the new house we bought with my husband and parents. We love Olivia, the price is not for the faint of heart but the experience is always so wonderful. Staff are polite and attentive (without being annoying), my mom wanted some drink concoction that they didn't have the ingredients to make but the bartender took the time to whip up something custom that she ended up loving. Food is always exceptional start to finish.

A delightful afternoon tea! Great ambiance for Christmas season.. All the staff were attentive and took great care of us. I asked for a table away from the piano and hostess went out of her way to find a quieter table for us! Our server from Moldavia was delightful. The food was delicious and plenty of choices. The tea was hot and topped up with hot water frequently. My one complaint would be that there was only one pot of tea per person -I would like to have had a few more to try. I should have asked for more as I think they have given it to me!

We had an amazing experience here! We were celebrating our recent engagement with our friends, and then our server, Priyanka, made our night so special! Her service was 10/10 and her recommendations were spot on. The food was really good and the portions definitely matched the value.
