Complaints include a chipped plate and glass along with a very loud environment. We were seated away from the bar area but it was quite loud to the point it was difficult to hear across the table. The DJ could bring it down a little but the hard wood ceiling and floor bounces sound extremely well. Outside dining may be a good option for a more quiet night. It's a small menu and they were out of two apps on Saturday night:( All that said, the food is very good. I especially liked the burrata and the tuna. The beet salad could use a few more beets but the lamb and chicken were reported as good. Substantial wine list with many Italian options. Well made cocktails, shout out for the old fashioned. Plan on spending $100pp to do it right.

If you're planning a meal, I highly recommend requesting an outdoor table, which makes for a much more enjoyable experience. The noise level inside can be pretty high, although where you sit definitely makes a difference. The bar scene looks fantastic and would be a great place to stop in for cocktails and enjoy the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the dining experience itself was disappointing. Service was slow and inattentive throughout the evening. We had already finished our meals before our waiter finally stopped by to ask how everything was with our "first bites," which was a bit ironic. The food was just okay. The menu leans Italian, but some of the dishes missed the mark. The vodka sauce lacked the authentic flavor you'd expect, and the pappardelle had an unexpectedly heavy lemon flavor that overpowered the dish. To top it off, we were charged for a second drink that we never ordered. Overall, Olivine shines when it comes to atmosphere and views, and I could definitely see returning for drinks at the bar. However, the service and food quality need some refinement before I'd come back for dinner.

Anytime I'm visiting the area, I love to stop in to this cute cocktail spot! It's a college town,…read moreso it's kind of unexpected because it doesn't only cater to students. It gives speak easy vibes, and the lighting and seating make it comfortable. They even have a cocktail for a cause with donations given to an organization when that specific drink is purchased. I loved that they were celebrating Harry Potter's birthday, and we enjoyed potions that represented our houses. (I'm Gryffindor if you're curious.) It was slow, but I like to come in when the university doesn't have athletic events or fall/spring classes aren't in session. The bartenders were kind & helpful when we asked questions. There's parking in front of the door & the surrounding areas, so depending when you go, it may be easy or difficult to park. Love: chestnut club (gin-based, suggested by the bartender); vibes (really good energy here)

Drinks were fabulous (try the Peach Mule) and we crushed the bacon flight (fought over who could get the last maple bite). Then we had shrimp and grits, bison burger and a Caesar. All were flavorful and some of the best we've ever had. Our server was training tonight but his apprentice was just as knowledgeable and attentive - in fact he helped us with drink selection and ensured we had bottles of water flowing since we were so dehydrated from the day. Cannot wait to go back and try other things on the menu. Thank you friends at the Hound - hit the spot.

Food: 3.5 Service: 5 stars…read more We tried sooo many items on the menu. We had the pork skins, wings, and bacon flight for starters. The pork skins were very good and crispy. The wings were wayyy too big and felt undercooked, and the bacon flight was unremarkable. The entrees were also okay. The best was the shrimp and grits which I would return on this dish only. Evrything was just too too salty. My palate was ruined after a while. The rest were just okay, but I did like the greens. Standout was that bread pudding.

I was going to start this review by saying that nostalgia can't help everything when it comes to a…read moreplace from my past. I was originally going to say that nostalgia should take you back to your youth without having to deal with the youth that are now frequenting this college watering hole. But I decided when it comes to 17-16, I can't find anything else wrong with it besides having to deal with college students. But you know what, when you have a great "college bar", you really shouldn't expect anything different. Therefore I will let nostalgia from the bar I loved in college negate any of those negative thoughts. Although, I'm sure our group stuck out like the old alums that still hit the bars when they are in town. What makes this bar a great college bar? First of all, the bar runs on both sides and there are always plenty of bartenders. Making it very easy to get a drink. Not to mention college town prices are AMAZING. Also because of this wrap around bar concept, it keeps people flowing in a "lap walking" form. So even though it gets crowded, it doesn't feel that claustrophobic. There is also an outside area in the back. So if you want to get out of the crowded bar, this is usually pretty wide open. Would I frequent 17-16 if it were in my hometown? Probably not. But when I do my once in a blue moon visits and know what I'm getting in to, I can't think of another late night bar in the loveliest village on the plains.

Gorgeous place! The staff is incredible…read more We all loved our meals. They use fresh farm to table ingredients and you can really taste it. We had the oysters... yum. Fried green tomatoes- wasn't the biggest fan of pimento cheese, but if that's your thing I'm sure it would have been delicious. I had the strawberry / spinach salad. It was decent but a little too much dressing on parts and a bit dry in others. The biscuits were a star of the other meal. Sadly, no lattes... the only other bummer was that the waiter forgot my cocktail. He apologized when I asked for it... I know accidents happen

The water has an earthy, funky flavor that is somewhat concerning. Nobody got ill. But I consider…read moreoffering people gross water a little inhospitable. I believe it effected some of the flavors of foods that were boiled in it, too. Gnocchi had some of the same off flavor. In addition, some of the flavors just feel way out of whack for totally unrelated reasons. Sauce that the duck came in was thin and overwhelmed by honey. The risotto it was served with seems like it should be rich and homey. But despite a crazy amount of added dairy still tasted thin and flat. Can't tell you why. Wonky seasoning? None of the dishes reflected any familiarity with acid to lighten or balance a dish. Fried green tomatoes were pretty mid despite a quality remoulade and a bunch of pimento cheese. Ingredients seem like they're decent quality. Desserts are legitimately top notch. Everyone recommends the peanut butter pie. And it is excellent, though pretty obviously not long out of the freezer. The affogato Is legitimately fantastic. And I'm not even talking about the pageantry of dumping the espresso on the salt ice cream. The combo is legitimately satisfying, like a well-rounded creamy candy. The plates are funky and cool and beautiful. The staff all seem like they're 19, attractive, and gregarious.

They have daily drink and food specials to add to the fun. I ordered a cheeseburger and it was overall a pretty decent burger although I wasn't fond of the fact they seemed to only have packets of mustard and not an actual container of mustard for me to use (I hate those tiny packets while ketchup gets much larger packets).
