text: Olives is a Mediterranean inspired restaurant and per its name many of the dishes rely heavily on the use and flavor of different varieties of olives Meals begin with an ample basket of bread that is served with multiple olive garnish mashes Our table also had one of the flatbreads for a starter which was very unique and deliciousnnFor the main course I had a combination of a veal special and the butternut squash ravioli both recommended by the server The ravioli was one of the best I have ever had and the veal was very well cooked and tastynnHaving described the meal I can say with confidence that there is definitely better food in Las Vegas but the thing that sets Olives apart is its location right beside the Bellagio water show With an outside seating Olives is a cannot miss spot but with an inside seating there are other spots where your money would be better spent Like many of the restaurants in Vegas the food is great and prepared by a world class kitchen staff and created by a world class chef but amidst all of the incredible food in Vegas Olives food does not particularly stand out in my mind
