Review of The Olive Cafe

Tried their lunch set menu today - a three-course meal consisting of a choice between salads or soup, two entrees and two types of desserts. I opted for mushroom soup, mussels with fries and espresso and creme brulee for dessert (the latter comes as a combo). All were pretty well-prepared, however the mussels came a bit cold and had to get them to re-heat it. That being said, I enjoyed the tastes - the mushroom soup was good, and the mussel broth was quite savory (although I wish the mussels had been a bit fatter - perhaps it's not the right season). The creme brulee was fantastic. Service was acceptable, the waitstaff were sweet, but slightly disorganized - took them a few times to get our order right. All in all, however, it's a good spot for a workday lunch - especially on a bright, sunny day like today.
