Olive Tapas And Wine

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Olive in Can Canaria, a tapas and wine restaurant, and overall, our experience was quite enjoyable. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Nathan, who impressed us with his charm and evident dedication to his role as a customer relations representative. We started off our evening by ordering two cocktails, and we were delighted by the excellent standard and taste of the drinks. The bartenders clearly knew their craft and delivered beverages that were both visually appealing and satisfying to the palate. Kudos to the cocktail team for their expertise. For our main course, we opted for the seafood paella, and we were pleased with the dish. The paella was well cooked and presented, showcasing the flavors of the sea. However, one recommendation I would make for future orders of the seafood paella is to include a finger bowl for customers. As we had to peel various pieces of seafood, it would have been convenient to have a means of washing our hands readily available. This small addition would enhance the dining experience for those who choose this particular item. Our waiter, Lewis, was friendly and accommodating to our requests. However, it would have been even more delightful if his presence on the floor was more apparent. This would have allowed us to feel more attended to and provided an opportunity for him to anticipate any needs we may have had during the meal. Additionally, for dishes like paella, which are served silver service style, it would be beneficial to conduct refills on a separate table and have these done when ready. This would ensure that guests are not disturbed by the setup and refilling process, enhancing the overall dining experience. While we enjoyed our time at Olive in Can Canaria, we felt that there were a few areas for improvement. One suggestion would be to introduce background music to enhance the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. Music can create a more vibrant and lively ambiance, enhancing the enjoyment of the dining experience. Furthermore, it would be beneficial for the waiting staff to conduct periodic check-backs after serving the food, inquiring whether guests would like any additional drinks or if there are any other requests. This proactive approach would demonstrate attentiveness and ensure that guests' needs are consistently met. Although checks were done by Nathan. This is additional to his role correcting the waiting’s staffs oversight. During our visit, it was apparent that Nathan, the outside team member, was working exceptionally hard to draw in customers. While we appreciate his efforts, it is essential for the workload to be distributed evenly among the team members. Ensuring that everyone is pulling their fair share of work contributes to a harmonious and efficient dining experience. In conclusion, Olive in Can Canaria provided us with a pleasant evening of tapas and wine. The cocktails were expertly crafted, and the seafood paella was well prepared. With a few suggested improvements, such as providing finger bowls for the paella, increasing the presence of waiting staff, adding background music, and conducting regular check-backs, Olive in Can Canaria could elevate its dining experience to an even higher level. Nonetheless, Nathan's outstanding customer service left a lasting impression, and we would certainly consider visiting again in the future.

Tried this little restaurant and ended up going back again twice more. The atmosphere was great and the food lovely. Very friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you. They even bought me a bottle of bubbly for my birthday! Would definitely eat there again. Nothing wrong with the service, just a little busy at times. I think that's a sign popularity so no complaints.
