Wall niches anointed with artifacts, inventive flower arrangements and interiors warmed by the incandescence of wax candles, all tot up to the charming feel of the Olive Beach.

Start your meal with the classic Caprese Salad with rounded fresh home made buffalo mozzarella cheese served on fresh slices of tomato with an artistic splash of Balsamic reduction on the side, to help freshen one's palette, followed by a Mediterranean Sea food soup served with prawn and rocket - cooked to perfection contrastingly served with a black bread crouton, especially prepared with squid ink thus giving it a distinct coloring, served with a hint of oil against a classically seasoned tomato dominated base, at just the right consistency and temperature.
