Whether you go for the food, drinks or decor doesn't really matter - just go. I encourage this because The Olive Room is unlike any other restaurant in Montgomery or parts nearby. This is the type of establishment usually found only in New York City, and we are fortunate to have it in our own humble downtown. Now run by the team that created Tomatino's Pizza and Bakery, The Olive Room is an upscale martini bar and cosmopolitan restaurant. The tiny dining room is furnished with an odd assortment of oversized benches, undersized chairs and stools.
Every available space is used, with tables under the stairs and in the inoperable elevator car.
Pinpoint spotlights and hundreds of candles provide the subtle lighting. Frank Sinatra tunes are played just loud enough to be heard without interfering with conversations. Even the bathrooms are unusual, but I'll let you discover those on your own. The menu is also reflective of the eclectic and progressive tastes of the restaurant's owners. They've managed to find that fine line between trendy and original, and have settled on the side of original.
