olives and plates - club & conference

love the ambiance and food. very good service and attention to detail. cakes look awesome but have not been able to try as yet. menu has agreatselection.

never knew there would be such a gem that exists on wits campus ! this place is very fancy, the service isgreatand so is the food ! a slice of cake is a must have after your meal ! there’s a huge variety of cakes, which makes it very difficult to choose as they all look so delicious!

i was immensely disappointed with my outing at this place. i had booked my table well in advanced. after the food came to our table, one of the managers loudly announced that we need to leave the table. there after the waiter had indicated that we need to move while eating our lunch. then the customer intervened that she did not mind us being seated near her seating area. on the topic of the food, it was simple utterly bland. the the avocado with pasta had black marks. more so i ordered a second drink, which the waiter conveniently forgotten. this might have been agreatplace once, but the service is disrespectful and the quality of their food has deteriorated.

a lovely outdoor venue with a delicious selection of light meals. the salads come in huge portions and are beautifully presented. they have a very tempting cake selection and it's very difficult to decide on just one! it's definitely a draw card.
agreatspot for breakfast /brunch.

great place with even "greater" food. call to reserve a table as it easily gets busy and you will end up on the waiting list. a takeaway option is available if you cannot wait to be seated. the food isgreatanywhere you eat it. 😊

this is my favourite place to have breakfast/lunch in joburg. olives has agreatsetting, excellent service and meals filled with fresh, quality ingredients. top notch!

great food and ambience , but unfortunately let down by the service after attending with colleagues. waiter was condescending in a way which changed the experience from what could have beengreatto beyond average. food can be awesome but if customer service is not on par, it's not worth it.

as a current wits student olives is definitely a gem in the high pressure academic environment . 😂it’s also located close to an exam venue for a little comfort after a difficult paper .
it doesn’t even feel like you’re on campus ,the place is so gorgeous and peaceful . whether you’re sitting outside or inside it’s a beautiful environment. outside there’s a small pond with these really pretty fish ,breathtaking scenery and peaceful breeze . inside it’s dim ,beautifully set tables ,gorgeous decor and soft music in the background .

the service is pretty good,a bit disappointing if you’re sitting in a corner table sometimes . i’m a person of habit and i almost always order the same thing every time i go there . my favorite dish is the steak ,egg and fries. the meal is so filling and the presentation of the dish is always on point . on this particular occasion i ordered steelworks ,my friend a cheeseburger with a frappy . i tasted the frappy and it’s definitely for coffee lovers ,it was way too strong for my liking .
dessert is the highlight of every olives visit . their cake options are out of this world ,it’s cake heaven and making a choice is always difficult. i’d suggest you have the cake as a sit down because the slice comes with strawberry slices and fresh cream . these aren’t there if it’s a takeaway .

i love love this place and would recommend it on any given day .great,relaxing spot .

amazing food,greatservice. i've tried their breakfast menu, main meals, light meals, cakes. it's always perfect and the staff are very accommodating.

very nice outdoor setting. awesome spot for afternoon tea or lunch. food wasgreatbut the service in the beginning was a bit disappointing as we were asked if we needed a table and said yes then no one did anything...

what amazing food and brilliant service! manager went out of his way to make my mother happy on her birthday. fantastic food, beautiful presentation andgreatservice!

a real gem in jozi

i had an incredible meal,greatstaff,greatplace!!
i would suggest the pecan nut pie, and the burgers looked incredible! one of my top rated restaurants of jhb !!!

the only reason that this establishment is getting any points at all is purely as a result of my nostalgic memories of the place from varsity days. i know the food isgreathere because i ate here often but i didn't get to tasting it this time around as i waited nearly 40 minutes for a meal that didn't even arrive. i had asked a server to please check the status of our order, not surprisingly, the server didn't come back to me either at which point i offered to pay for my drinks as i needed to attend a seminar. lunch time is inevitably going to be busy especially when the university is hosting large seminars - perhaps consider employing more kitchen staff for that period so that your guests don't leave hangry :(

a delicious meal in beautiful surroundings.greatservice and an amazing cake table, all made on site. one certainly dors not expect this type of setting in the middle of a university campus. just go there and enjoy while looking at the time flying by...
