text: I cannot rave enough about Olive Ivy At the recommendation from my broker my mother and I went out to celebrate my move to Scottsdale We walked up and were in awe of the high ceilings the open floor plan marketplace area and really modern decor We had made a reservation and headed out to the patio The patio is sectioned off in to two sections one as more of a lounge with big chairs and couches while the other is more diningappropriate As we were seated the overhead lightbulb strands lit up along the waterfront I was in absolute heaven If I had been nervous about my move this little setting put me completely at ease n Our waiter which I shall call the Lord of all Waiters came to bring us water and ask if we wanted anything to drink we had both decided on Sangria and he encouraged us to get a pitcherI always enjoy an enabler While he brought back our pitcher and delicious but not Too sweet Sangria we ordered the Artichoke heart appetizer He even had this split for us so we did not have to portion the starter ourselves The hand grated Parmesan Artichoke hearts and arugula were outstanding Both my mother and I had already started commenting on the greatness of the flavor combinations n The Lord of Waiters stopped by frequently asking about my trip checking on our waters refilling our Sangria as it got low talking about Downtown Scottsdalehe really knew how to make us feel special He then brought us housemade pesto and bread I could have eaten the pesto as a meal in and of itself it was so fresh n Finally our entrees came out My mother got the Sweet Potato Cannelloni while I opted to try the Sea Bass As I ate my snow peas sea bass and grapefruit combo in absolute contentment I caught myself humming along to The Notorious BIG this is when the greatest waiter of all time told us they have a DJ every night that spins great mixes which I can attest to I was constantly saying I love this songn To top off our extravagant meal we had a scoop of Vanilla Bean gelato to split The Vanilla Bean was upfront not overpowering but just right We could not have asked for a more perfect meal or waiter I cannot wait to start getting visitors so I can take them here and show this place off
