    Hands down one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Everything was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was excellent, and every bite exceeded my expectations. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever tasted food this good. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Olive & Ivy to anyone looking for an amazing dining experience.

    Our waitress, Kennedy, was amazing. She recommended we start with the duck empanadas and said they never disappoint. They didn’t! They were so unique and flavorful. We then shared the pork tacos. We didn’t use the shells with them as the pork shoulder came in an iron skillet and was just falling apart it felt like the tortillas would just take away from it. The flavor and sauce it was in was out of this world. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will go there on my next trip to Scottsdale!
