One of our favorite restaurants in Santa Fe (okay, so it’s not exactly a short list…) has got to be L’Olivier. Always tasty, always and friendly service. We consider it the perfect spot for a calm evening for two or a guaranteed-to-please dinner with friends.
The restaurant occupies a beautifully redone space that has had many incarnations, from sandwich shop to experimental gourmet. Under Grenet’s steady hand and with help from his wife, Nathalie, as manager, L’Olivier already seems like a solid part of Santa Fe’s fine dining scene. And it only opened in December.
I enjoyed dinner here with friends who had already sampled the menu twice at lunch. They made a reservation and encouraged me to drop my tradition of giving a new restaurant three months (or more) to settle in before visiting for a review. They were right. And they were wise to make a reservation. Every table was filled the night of our visit. (Albuquerque Journal)
