    We made a reservation 1 month ahead. Upon entry, we were greeted by “we can accomodate you, but we have 35 pax guesting” and I was just like, i made a reservation. Then they have to put out another disclaimer as soon as we were handed the menu, there will be a long wait due to the 35 people who was there. It was a bday celebration instead of looking for another restaurant we just patiently waited. The food was served as I timed it 45mins after the order. The food was good and tasty. The food attendant apologised for the late service. I guess regardless how many reservations you have if you can’t handle and commit with that amount of guest, don’t take too much reservations or get enough staffs to cover the guest.

    We were heading to the theatre and this was close by so that was why we chose to eat here. It was great. We had the BBQ share plate and it did not disappoint. Staff were very accomodating and all lovely. Highly recommend.

    Lovely restaurant if you like steak ribs and salmon - which I do. The meal was close to perfect though my salmon was a little over cooked and the linguini may have been from a packet. Overall though I thoroughly enjoyed Olive Ginger and I recommend this restaurant heartily.

    The tasting platters were great for trying a variety of food items, all cooked really well. I ordered the potato Gnocchi which was great. I tried the grain fed port and the Grilled Barramundi which were both cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic. Super friendly and fun staff which checked in regularly.
