The review is for the food and service only. No drinks ordered. The food was average and bland. The server we had was working the bar and so the service was average. This seems like a popular spot for those who drink. We ordered the Grilled Salmon Tacos, Chicken and Spinach Risotto and Parmesan & Oil fries. I would not recommend the Risotto and you don’t have to be Gordon Ramsey to know that. Tacos were okay, fries were just fries. I would not go back to this restaurant. It’s not bad, but it’s not good.

It is my absolute favorite place downtown to grab dinner and drinks. They specialize in martinis (with 100+ on the menu) but also have other cocktails, wine and beer.
Walking distance to Wells Fargo arena and civic center for concerts or shows.
Favorites:
Martinis = red wave, espresso, and the best dirty martini I’ve ever had.
Food = salmon salad, chicken skewers and spinach and artichoke dip!

Just a quick detail...this place is for socializing. They have tables and couches to sit at as well as a long bar. The Martini menu was huge the food menu not so much.
With that being said we ordered the Risotto Croquettes and they were delicious, the marinara with them was a little chunky but had a good flavor that went well with the appetizer.
For our meal I ordered the Brisket sandwich and my spouse ordered the Chicken and Spinach Risotto. The brisket wasn't bad but wasn't off the fire and my fries were cold. My wife enjoyed the Risotto.
Service was good and they were very attentive it just took a long time to get anything be it food or drink.
My wife had the Tiramasu, Espresso and the Cucumber Melon martinis and enjoyed them all, which it is a martini bar.
Good for socializing but can get extremely noisy the busier it gets.

The atmosphere is very decent being apart of two clubs in one with one being upstairs and this restaurant actually being downstairs they depend on the music from upstairs to saturate the atmosphere downstairs which doesn't always fit the mood
The food is greatly overpriced compared to the taste I would seriously have a conversation with the head chef on what is actually Cajun seasoning to Bland. pepper is a spice not a seasoning a lot of places do not understand that.
Go for what it worth but once you spend the money you would never go back

Enjoyed Stuffed Olive for the first time for date night. They had over 100 martinis to choose from! The menu looked delicious, can’t wait to go back to be able to order the food! Great service from the host and bar tender. Loved the atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

Only come here for the martinis! As far as food goes the menu is to small and the items remind me of bar food. I was looking for dinner and this was not the spot. But I found some of the best martinis 🍸 I’ve ever had and for a bogo. Can you believe it. Keep the specials coming 🔥🍻🥂🍸
