Los Olivos Wine Merchant & Cafe

Great fresh food and amazing wine list.

A good spot for lunch attached to a great wine shop.

We had a great lunch and a bit of wine, the wine list was extensive and the choices of food was great. We had the brisket BBQ sandwich and a hamburger, we would have been better off just splitting one.. a few glasses of wine, one white and one red. The waiter was very attentive.. Highly recommended..

There is ALWAYS something delicious on the menu here! No matter the season, the weather, or even the person I am sharing a meal with, I have enjoyed not only the wonderful meal but the total dining experience here.

Although I am acutely aware of the lack of people who are wanting and willing to work,
there appeared to be enough staff but that wasn't the issue. It took me a day or so to try to answer my question of why does almost everyone working front of house,seem so neutral about their job? I observed kind people not smiling much, little eye contact etc. and that was something that took the review down a star. Ok, we do eat out locally 2 to 4 times a week and this was the most obvious the apathy has been. Wish I had a simple solution or any solution at all but the only thing I came up with might be a small reward for staff being positively mentioned at any review site?

If we had not heard friends of ours who were sitting a few tables away say almost verbatim what we both felt, I prolly wouldn't have spent this much time on this review.
Maybe staff will come around but maybe not. Or maybe management has a Great idea. I wish you well and will return, down the road bit.

Lunch review. Been to LO cafe many times over the years for lunch and the food is always fantastic. Particular favorites include the pizza, curry chicken and Niçoise salads. Service staff has always been attentive and friendly. Front patio is dog friendly.

Amazing food, my family always tries to stop here when passing through the area. All the appetizers are very good and we haven't had a salad or main that we didn't like. One of the biggest reasons we come here is the gluten free pizza crusts that are adored by my family member with Celiac disease. I don't think it's on the menu but if you order the Flatbread with oil appetizer and want a gluten free option they can make up a gf pizza crust to act as Flatbread and it works much better than most gf alternatives. They also have some very delicious Italian sodas including hazelnut!

Try it..thinking you'll love it to.

Everything we ordered was delicious. We tried the Mykonos Pizza, Moroccan Chicken soup, cheese platter and the foccia with dipping oil. The server was super friendly and checked in on us often.

Great service and very good food. They were very accommodating of our group of six and three dogs. Definitely will go back.

Good service, maybe a little too many interruptions from waitress. Food is average. A bit on the noisy side when trying to hear conversation in our group.
