I cannot say enough great things about Fiel, Deion and the whole team at Olive & Sea! They were so kind & accommodating with set up, cleanup, and everything in between. I would full recommend having an event here! read more

Deion provided great service for our party of eight. The Kids Zone was a hit with the children, especially the sprinkle pancakes and churros. The buffet had all the classic breakfast offerings, but the mini avocado toasts and churros were the highlights for us. read more

Deion was a great server!!! The breakfast buffet was really amazing and there were plenty of food options.

Great full buffet breakfast, Deion was a fantastic server. The salmon station was a great treat.

I have eaten here several times while visiting the Ft Lauderdale on several different occasions. The service has been excellent especially Kerv. He has waited on me several times. He is kind and attentive. The food and drinks are very good. read more

Great little spot at the Hilton Marina. Fiel and Aschly were amazing and took great care of us at breakfast. The kids spot they set up for little ones is so cute and just what my picky 2 year old needed. Also very conscientious of my 13 year old's Celiac Disease and was very careful to be sure she doesn't get sick. read more

Had breakfast this morning and was served by Deion. She was very friendly and attentive to our requests. Food was presented beautifully and very tasty. The ambiance of the restaurant is relaxing and gorgeous. read more

Love it amazing food and service. Will certainly be back. Great atmosphere. Best place for a nice dinner! read more

This was our 4th visit and food and service are consistently excellent. The Valet is always very polite and complimentary. The restaurant is very pretty and has a lovely patio overlooking the Intracoastal. Drinks and food came out quickly. Think dining earlier is key. Tried the fish dip this time and was a good size portion and really tasty. The half chicken is always outstanding. Moist with delicious crispy skin. read more

I'm giving this an ambivalent four stars. If I had to be specific, I'd say 3.5 is more accurate. Walked in and was greeted by one of the hostesses with pretty bad RBF. Looked me and my friend up and down with disdain before showing us to our table. The service was "okay," and of course gratuity was included. One of the waiters had a nice convo with us toward the end and gave some good travel advice. Other than that, the place felt empty and a little forgotten by the wait staff. Here's the good part. The food was INCREDIBLE! The pita bread appetizer was perfectly warm and fresh, and practically melted in our mouths. I had the salmon, which might I say...might be the best salmon I've ever had. I say that confidently as a frequent salmon consumer. It was perfectly flaky and moist while bursting with flavor. The interior atmosphere was beautiful and well done. No notes. All in all, the food was absolutely unforgettable and delicious, while the service was unwelcoming and off putting. If the service was better, this would've easily gotten five stars from me. read more

On a recommendation from a local constable I found myself eagerly anticipating a meal at Olive & Sea. Nestled into the Hilton on the second floor, I found my way to the bar. This is both a classily and casual restaurant. I could imagine frequenting this place for an intimate date or with a group of friends after a long trip to Ft. Lauderdale. I was treated like a prince by Juan and offered several recommendations; however, the roasted half chicken topped the list. If you're having a dilemma, order the chicken. It was moist, flavorful, and the perfect size to satisfy the empty place in your tummy. It was an added touch to have Bambi and Gregory check on me (that's a class act). Overall, truly enjoyed my experience at Olive & Sea. read more

First off, we arent usually complainers. 9/10 we just "suck up" bad food and/or bad service. We always tip 20% but WARNING, there's a AUTOMATIC 20% gratuity added to every check, which you are NOT told about!! Too bad for you and good for them, if you dont read the fine print at the bottom of the menu and scrutinize your bill. Seems shady. 1. Arrived at the hostess stand to 2 hostesses that didnt appear to be enjoying their evening, seemed personal between them. There's a clock behind the hostesses in which I just happened to notice in BIG RED LETTERS it was 6:37 PM. We were seated immediately. 2. A very friendly server arrived immediately wanting to know our drink order and any appetizer questions--which we didnt have as we had literally been seated and hadn't even picked the menu up yet. 3. Some time goes by and she returns for our drink order and again for appetizer questions. We give our drinks, and order Babaganoush and gluten free options-Vegetables. 4. 15 minutes later we still havent gotten out drinks or appetizer but the restaurant is really pretty and conversation was good so.......we'll wait. 5. Appetizer comes. Still no drinks and Im feeling "antsy." Joked about getting up and going to get them myself. A nice thing, the chef included GF crisps as a courtesy. Thank you! 6. 25 minutes after being seated we FINALLY got our cocktails! (remember I noticed the time at the hostess stand) A martini and Moscow Mule, that we learned from the bill totaled $38 for just the 2 drinks! WOW! Not sure why it took so long, it was the not too busy, and half empty bar, but had now learned our waitress was seemingly good at the disappearing act. Maybe she was busy doing more important stuff in the back? 7. The appetizer, BabaGanoush was soooo RAW garlicky, it almost burned. Having a wedding the next day I felt nervous that this would literally be leaching from my body, so after just one bite I told the server I was nervous to eat it. lol she suggested we "substitute" with something else, so I asked about Hummus. She said she wasnt sure how garlicky Hummus is so she would get us hummus and some Tzatziki just in case. I told her I didnt really care for that, but she said she'd "just bring it," wrongly thinking she intended this as a substitute and not an UPCHARGE on our bill for 2 apps now instead of one. 8. Before the substitute appetizer arrived our food showed up. One of the visibly hard workers was the older gentleman that was the food runner! My husband really enjoyed his Short Rib Pizza. But sadly for me, I ordered the BEET salad with balsamic dressing on the side, but got a GREEK salad drenched in dressing and olive oil on the side. Close, but no cigar. 9. We looked for our disappearing waitress again for several minutes but she must've been busy in the back again. I saw the manager walking around greeting tables and tried to give an inconspicuous wave a few times. When another waitress approached him I gave her a little wave. She acknowledged me immediately and even though she wasnt our server, came over to help. She was very attentive and caring. I hated complaining but the honest truth is I had only eaten a cheese stick and an orange all day, and the martini was getting to me, it had been 45 minutes and honestly, I just needed food. So I was grateful for her attention. 10. The situation was handled well by the server-not -our-server and the very conscientious food runner (someone please give this man a RAISE!) who brought our appetizer(s) and my salad. I can guess how it looked-we complained about the garlicky babaganoush, my bad, then complained we got the wrong salad. But honestly, so embarrassing. 11. Finally our waitress surfaced and apoligized, she thought I said GREEK salad instead of BEET salad. I can see the mistake, and quickly forgave the incident, bygones! By the time everything came, my appetite was gone so I ate about 1/5 of my salad and a few bites of the hummus and I was just over it. We asked for to-go containers, not that we were actually going to eat any of it, but I guess leaving $100 of food when you only ate 5 bites of green leaf salad feels criminal. 12. Got the bill and learned we were upcharged for 2 apps instead of just one we wanted, $38 for 2 drinks that we waited 25 minutes for, the salad that took another go around and went uneaten, hubby's pizza, and of course the sneaky 20% gratuity--REGARDLESS OF POOR SERVICE. $100 later and I still hadn't eaten. #TourismSaves read more

The best Mediterranean food I had in south Florida. Got to sample many different dishes. The portion on size is small. We had a private room at this restaurant. They accommodated 10 people. Service was wonderful. Menu options were great. The location is beautiful. They have outdoor and indoor seatings. read more

The scenic water view is the best thing about this Mediterranean restaurant located in the Hilton Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale. The vibrant rooftop on the second floor offers captivating intracoastal views. We shared the Olive & Sea Salad $19 and the Fig and Goat Cheese Pizza $22. It was fine but looking for a more gourmet pizza with more figs. Service was great. Free valet. read more

Our server want as bland as vanilla . She never brought me my salt only pepper . The food needed seasoning! The ceviche was not as expected, shrimp were whole unlike Mexican ceviche. The pizza was large but not delicious, it lacked flavor . The ambience was stale . The chair they first sat me in was like a banquet chair so horrible we moved tables ? The whole place is just uninviting w the fake plants and the raw ceiling . Hilton can do so much better ? The tables are cheesy needed table cloths . The silverware looked dull and cheap. I hated our experience. read more

I normally don't eat in hotel restaurants unless they are well known for their style and the quality of their food and service, but we got in late from the airport and this was the closest restaurant we could get what we hoped would be at least a decent meal. The service, while slow was friendly, but our server seemed to be distracted taking her time before asking if we'd like to order beverages after we'd sat looking at the menu for a good 7 or 8 minutes. It was 30 minutes before they stopped seating (9:30pm) and we were pretty hungry so the wait seemed interminable since although the bar was busy, the restaurant was not. The restaurant is quite attractive and I must say that the salad I had was beautiful and delicious. My husband had a flatbread that he said was "good". I may stay in that hotel again some day so I may give them another try if in the area. Maybe during peak hours they are a little more together with service details. read more

I was visiting a friend in Ft Lauderdale recently and we went into Olive and Sea for drinks and a lite bite. The space is gorgeous and water views were breathtaking! We sat at the bar and shared the Greek salad and chicken skewers, both were delicious. Our bartender Maria was one of the best bartenders I've ever had. She made some great suggestions and was so friendly and personable. She made our time there very enjoyable! I'm in town often and will definitely come again. read more

Olive & Sea was pretty much what you expect of from a hotel restaurant. The food was decent- the octopus was actually surprisingly good. The baba ghanoush was great but I've had better hummus and labneh. The lamb was just ok. Presentation is beautiful. Service was great, wine pours generous, gratuity included, and complementary valet parking. The ambiance was lovely. Overall I would happily come back. read more

This Fort Lauderdale Hilton Hotel hosts a high-end intracoastal restaurant/bar called Olive & Sea with gigantic yachts as a backdrop. We consumed vodka cocktails and happy hour Blue Moon beers on draft for $6.00. The happy hour food options sounded delicious, each for $7 - $14 which included Moroccan Carrots, Spicy Chicken Schnitzel, Watermelon & Feta Mezze and Smoked Eggplant. The open viewable kitchen had a pizza oven and vibrant foods on display. This location was one of the many water taxi stops on our Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood adventure. The clean bathroom continued the ultra modern beachy theme with green tree wall paper. read more

Thank you for a delightful evening! read more

I recently visited this bar during a work trip and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience with the bartender named Serena. From the start, Serena attitude was off-putting--she was dismissive and seemed uninterested in engaging with customers. On top of that, there was no mention that gratuity was already added to our bill, which left me feeling misled when I went to leave an additional tip. Overall, the lack of customer service and attention to detail made for a very unpleasant visit. HOWEVER I AM giving special credit to Maria she was our server outside on the balcony!!! Who saved the night! She immediately welcomed our group! She was warm and friendly! read more

the food and service at Olive & Sea was great! Kervs recommendations were on point. Will be back soon.

My wife and I came for our 2-year anniversary, and we were both excited to try this restaurant. Upon entering, the front of the house was very nice and hospitable. We asked if we could be seated outside since the views were amazing. She told us it would be a little wait since there were customers still sitting at the table. We waited for about 30 minutes to be seated. I do want to clarify this was no one's fault; it was just customers that did not want to leave. The front of the house told us we could be seated inside until the other customers left. We had no problem with that, and she was so great in also comping our appetizers for our wait. Once we sat down, our indoor waitress was very rude and snarky. She took our drinks and left without taking our order for appetizers and didn't even welcome us. It was quite rude. Five minutes later, the front of the house was able to get our table outside. This was totally worth the wait. She is the real MVP and deserves a raise. Our new waitress (outside) was so sweet and delivered a service that was off the charts. She gave us some champagne to celebrate our anniversary and was always attentive to us for everything. We started with the charred octopus, garlic labneh, green olive tapenade, crispy potatoes, which was soo good. The green olive tapenade made that dish. 9/10 My wife had the pan-roasted red snapper, squash puree, arak fennel broth, which she loved in every way possible. The snapper felt fresh and tender; it was cooked to perfection. I had the half-roasted chicken, Israeli salad, za'atar fries, and I dare say this was a top 5 dish I have ever had. The chicken was cooked to perfection. Very well seasoned and so tender and juicy. The Israeli salad was so fresh and yummy. But the cherry on top was the fries. I'm not kidding--these fries paired with the sauce was out-of-this-world good. I initially thought this would taste like regular potato wedges; however, the seasoning was so good, I highly recommend this. Lastly, the dessert was perfect! We shared the pistachio cheesecake, date syrup. 100/10--no words; you need to try this immediately. If you want great views, nice service, and great Mediterranean food, this is the place to go. I will say it is on the pricey side; however, it's well worth it. read more

I was very surprised and happy with my meals compared to all the reviews previously posted. I had the Octopus for an appetizer, I did find it a bit over priced for two pieces. But still very tender and tasty. I then shared the Bronzino with the Cauliflower side, both were excellent and I would highly recommend. The venue is really pretty. Nicely decorated inside with a great view of the water. I would have preferred to sit outside, noted for next time. As for the service.... My server was ok. This review did not get 5 stars because my first impression at the door was the hostess who was not welcoming and seemed unhappy to be there. Do better at the entrance, it's literally your first impression to the guest. read more

As soon as we got off the water taxi we walked into the Hilton Hotel and into an elevator to the next floor. The doors opened to a fancy busy restaurant with a spectacular view of the Ft Laud intracoastal. Mega yachts lined the calm waters. We took a seat at the bar with a direct view of the water. I ordered my normal Aperol Spritz and my friend got a vodka on the rocks. The bartender was friendly but very busy and the bar back gave us some feedback on the restaurant. All the dishes coming out of the kitchen looked delish and were plated beautifully. Love the name Olive & Sea - it says it all. Lovely place but pricey, but perfect for a special event. read more
