What People Are Saying About Olivette - At The Houstonian

In Short – With its rustic, Tuscan stylings, wood furniture, dim lighting and festive open kitchen, Olivette is warm and inviting. The creative New American menu is heavily accented with flavors of the Mediterranean. Expect healthful dishes including butternut squash soup and salad with blue cheese, cherries, walnuts and champagne vinaigrette. Entrees include roasted halibut with broccolini; seared Atlantic salmon with wilted spinach and saffron vanilla sauce; oven-braised short ribs; and truffled mushroom risotto with grilled vegetables. Desserts are artful. –
