   I did not like the “forced” 20% service charge/tip. It was noted at the bottom of the menu as the last item. It should have been more noticeable and/or mentioned by the server.

   7 of us had brunch here. Our wait staff paid attention and refilled drinks before they were empty, and didn’t rush us out the door. I appreciated that they allowed us to enjoy our meal and were around if we needed them, but weren’t stopping by every 5 minutes to ask us how we were doing. Our food took a little longer (maybe 30 minutes from ordering), but without asking they brought out olives and nuts to snack on while waiting. Will be back again.

   We have eaten at OP in SE many times with very positive experiences. But last night was quite different and disappointing. We waited close to an hour for our food to arrive. We do understand that sometimes things go wrong and could possibly understand if given some kind of explanation. But, during that entire time, not one server came to check on us or give some reason for the delay. We finally tracked down someone but got no explanation or apology. Five of our dinners were just fine. But, one person ordered the sole and it was not even warm. She got someone over who said they could warm it up and they did just barely warm it up. They did comp her meal which was fair. The restaurant has Small Plates and Large Plates categories on the menu. The Sole Bonne Femme should definitely have been in the Small plates category. It was significantly smaller than the other "large plate" dinners. We're not sure why things were so different on Dec. 8, but we are hoping our experience was not indicative of a downhill trend at a restaurant we have liked in the past.

   We sat at the bar. Our service was outstanding and the food was delicious. We usually go to Olympia Provisions for lunch or brunch but we will definitely go back for dinner after our wonderful meal!

   Another fantastic experience at Olympia Provisions. It was great to be there to celebrate their 15th anniversary. The meal was amazing and the staff made it feel like it was our anniversary not theirs.

   Everything was overstalted, the salad, our main courses, everything. My partner’s agnolotti arrived barely warm. It was both chewy and hard; basically inedible. The sole was salty. It was a fiasco. The service was about as uncaring and impersonal as it was rare. Not going back.

    Excellent service, drinks & food. We had 4 different specialty cocktails and all were excellent. Steak Tartare was flavorful and fresh. Sweetbreads came out too salty and the waitress replaced them quickly and this time they were perfect. We even took Spanish sausage sampler home. Always a solid place to go.
