the ambience alone is reason to visit Olives. The bar was dimmly lit and sexy. It is so hard to find restaurants these days with nice, dim lighting. \n\nI started off with the largest Martini of my life. Granted it was $14 but it was easily 3x the Martini I ordered at Ami Gabi at Paris the night before.\n\nThe octopus/squid app was wonderful. Almost a meal in itself with all the chickpeas. \n\nSince I was full after the awesome bread basket and olive tepanade served two ways I did not order a main. I will definetely be back and have a full meal next year.\n\nThe Irish bartender was a true delight. Wish more restaurant employees in Vegas were this personable and capable.
