    We were a group of 6 and had a table outside on the deck. What a lovely location...you can see surf breaking on beach (passed trees). It got really busy but service was great...food came out quite quickly and staff were so friendly. The barra cooked with veges in a sealed bag was amazing...so fresh!! Dessert was great and we also had a lovely WA shiraz. Overall...a lovely experience. Can't wait to go back!!

    From my 9 year old daughter posting her first reveiw: “The food was so delicious and I loved it so much and I want to go back.”

    You know the quality of this place from the first minute you walk in. The place is really busy but they are perfectly in control making beautiful meals with a minimum of fuss - everyone knowing their job, getting on with it quickly quietly. Very polite, obliging friendly, helpful.. when they tell you it will be 20 minutes it’s 15!! We had takeaway but the food they presented was absolutely delicious - a photo would not do justice to the beautiful taste, the freshness, the quality of the food we enjoyed!! And the price was more than reasonable!! No wonder they are top of the list in Google Maps!!

    No wonder some people said it’s the best pizza 🍕 they ever had, delicious! For me, TOP 3 in my pizza list! For pizza we had Magrita add some cherry tomatoes, there is some basil sauce on top but I think if there was fresh basil 🌿 leaves that would be better! The pizza is thin and crispy the cheese is outstanding! Highly recommended! The twice cooked duck leg surprisingly good! The sweetness and sourness are just good combined with the duck! Highly highly recommended! The red wine which the waiter recommended was very good with the duck but I can’t remember the name 🙇‍♂️ I will head back once I come to town!

    Unfortunately, Olive and Vine was a disappointment for us. We were excited to have dinner at this restaurant but we felt it wasn’t at all as good as many reviews had stated. The service was slow and unfriendly. After being seated, we waited for over 20 minutes before being served. Staff seemed tired and disinterested. The venue was loud and felt a bit like a sausage factory. The food was ordinary. Will not recommend.

    The food at Olive & Vine was so good that I went back for a second night. The spicy tomato prawns were delicious. The twice cooked duck leg was absolutely divine. They give you a small piece of garlic pizza while you look at the menu which is a nice touch. Night 2 I had the calamari and then chilli garlic prawn pizza. The calamari was lovely and tender but the coating lacked seasoning for me. The pizza had a beautiful thin crust. A nice touch was the offer of chilli oil to pour over the pizza if you wanted it, which I did. They also made a nice mojito cocktail. I definitely would recommend this restaurant.

    Great Italian restaurant with delicious food. Reasonable wine list to choose from. I can understand why others have recommended this place. Service was good with staff being friendly but felt they were just a bit rushed. Restaurant was a bit noisy impacting on the atmosphere but it is school holidays. The Goats cheese, fig and honey money bag was a great starter. Pepperoni pizza was beautiful with good spices. Would recommend this place to others.

    We have been going to Olive and vine for over six years. The food is consistently excellent. I had the calamari entree and twice cooked duck. Others had steaks which were fantastic, chicken deluxe and seafood marinara. All of my friends had a great meal and raved about the chill prawns for entree.

    Really delicious food. The steak was one of the best I've had in a LONG time. Friendly service. Had an issue with dessert which was rectified.

    We enjoyed our dinner here at their veranda and they have like a bossa nova style music on. We ordered calamari for entree that came in no time, it was cooked right. My guy had their supreme pizza and I had the specials pasta - tagliatelle with beef ragu. I find my pasta very tasty and large serving, but it's on the salty side for me. Friendly service here.

    Great place for a casual dining. Food was tasty and staff was welcoming and friendly. Wish they had more options for pasta.

  • 5/5 Cherry H. 1 year ago on Google
    RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! Service is great! They also offered a slice garlic pizza each before we place our order, strong flavour of olive, personally don’t like olive but appreciate it! ⭐️Bruschetta - very impressive sourdough - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!! and the tomatoes are very fresh too with lots of it placed on the sourdough 8.5/10 ⭐️Margarita - not the usual margarita but it’s impressive as well! you can see them baking it in the wood fire! 8.5/10 ⭐️Twice cooked duck leg - very well cooked, it’s juicy and so soft inside; it’s paired with potatoes and sweet pear 8/10 ⭐️Beer battered fish with fries - fish is ok and quite crispy; fries are good! 7/10

    Best food we ever tasted! Everything was just great! Their service is A+

  • 5/5 Hashinda S. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely worth a visit, ordered the calamari as a starter, was perfectly fried with the spice flavour blended beautifully. Mains bear battered flathead and Penne chicken with creamy tomato sauce, rocket, bacon, feta, perfect blend of flavour all around. Staff were very friendly, do recommend booking ahead and the CREME BRULÉE vanilla cream, toffee Crust is a perfect end to the meal.

    One of the best dine in experiences I've had in a long time. The staff were attentive and approachable which made for a really lovely dinner.

  • 5/5 Paul D. 1 year ago on Google
    We went for a quick dinner here the other night. Could not have been more impressed the service was amazing and the food was delish. I would HIGHLY recommend the place to anyone. Thank you and well done.

    We are locals and this is our go to for great food. Our favourites chilli prawns and crispy pork belly. The Bomb Alaska made our daughter jump for joy. Definitely worth a visit.

    Had a reservation for tonight for 4 adults and a baby, but sadly our son fell suddenly ill on the way to the restaurant. Instead of making any fuss about the sudden loss of three people for the reservation, they kindly amended it for just two on short notice. We did however decide to do takeaway, and while I waited the staff were very kind in getting me an extra seat to sit with the two folks who’d be dining while I waited and didn’t get grumpy or fuss about anything. I got a small sampler of their bread, the meal came out in 5 minutes and despite having a 20 minute drive home, was so delicious that we can’t wait to go back once the boy is feeling better. My wife got the roasted veggie pizza (which was absolutely delicious, and something I wouldn’t normally order) and I got the beef tagliatelle (which in a word is divine). All in all, despite having a sick 18 month old, Olive and Vine (and crew) took away most of the pain of the evening and I honestly cannot rate the place for their service, kindness, understanding and absolutely delicious food any higher. Sincerest thanks!

    Loved our pizza & wine here. The staff is very friendly, service is quick and the place is clean. The only suggestion would be to add some local gin to your drinks menu.

  • 4/5 Georgina A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoyed our evening here, would recommend having the duck as a main as it was delicious, the gravy was superb and duck fell apart. Had the goats cheese money bag and bruchetta for start and wow that was delicious, good quality flavoursome food and friendly staff. Thank you for the chef for putting love in to the food, and thank you for the staff for looking after us. Beautiful spot in kiama.

    Great food and service. Well priced and good location. Only criticism is that the drinks list should include non alcoholic beer/mixers rather than just soft drinks

  • 5/5 Lisa T. 1 year ago on Google
    Damn the food here is good! All the waitstaff are amazing and the chefs can cater to every need. We ordered gluten free pizzas and they tasted amazing! Insanely fast service as well. 100% recommend to anyone in the area.

  • 5/5 Lindsey M. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic food, couldn't fault it! Goats cheese moneybags, steak and chicken all delicious and well plated. One of the best steak dishes I've had in a while - highly recommend! Accompanied by a lovely red rom the extensive wine list. On a busy Friday the staff fitted us in, a table out front which had a lovely atmosphere

    Nice friendly staff. Service time was quick especially as they were full. All food was tasty. Recommend calamari, the mezze plate and the steak pizza.

    A hidden gem in residential area. Great pasta and steak, better to book cause the locals like this place obviously.

  • 5/5 Emma K. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was amazing. They were super nice about fitting in our late booking & provided great table service. We sat outside and had a really pretty view of the beach. The food was really delicious, we got the duck & maple bacon salad & the flavours were well balanced. Definitely recommend
