At Olive & Hay, you’re free to focus on what’s important to you: cuisine prepared by chefs honoring past generations, the al fresco dining experience, an award-winning Napa and Sonoma Valley wine list, or simply the company sharing your table. This is a place to take your time, to savor what matters most. *Please note, menu changes frequently*

Our waiter and staff were working hard. They were accommodating to our time schedule which we appreciated. The food was ok. The Cacio e pepe was out standing. Really loved the presentation. My husband had the Rigatoni and not impressed. Hard to find the meat and the sauce was off. Wines for the price point were substandard. Everyone there was working hard to push the appetizer and the dessert to make their quota and it doesn't show well. Considering your location I know your one of the very few choices within the hotel area. But the inconsistency mixed in with mediocre wine choices was dissappointing.

Our Waiter Da was wonderful. The food was excellent. The noise volume was was too high. Unfortunately whomever designed this restaurant didn't consider acoustics and the difficulty of trying to carry on a conversation with the loudness of voices reverberating off the walls without any buffer to quite it.

I really wanted to like this restaurant, but unfortunately, it was pretty underwhelming. I appreciated how close it was to The Meritage Resort and Spa, where we were staying, and the menu itself sounded promising with a solid selection. Unfortunately, the food just didn’t deliver and was disappointing overall. I wanted to love it, but it definitely fell short of expectations.
