The Vegetarian and the Carnivore! Part Two – Olivia’s

[mcsue]

Olivia’s - Dinner

We both have a soft spot for Olivia’s at Old Key West; the atmosphere is so homely and comforting - just like the food!
There is a laid back, kind of beachfront feel to the place, which is usually filled with a mix of family groups, friends and couples. We’ve also noticed that quite a few CMs come here to talk business over a relaxed meal.
It’s never overly noisy, just humming with the buzz of folks excitedly chatting about their day.
If you are in the mood for alfresco dining, there are also a number of tables on the patio, but we like to sit in one of the cosy booths.
Paul had the Penne Pasta with Asiago cheese, baby spinach and sun dried tomatoes. Oh and there was definitely a hint of garlic in there!
I don’t believe the picture of my food does justice to the enormity (or the deliciousness) of my juicy pork chops. They were huge and I really didn’t think I was going to be able to eat them both. But the combination of the succulent meat and the cinnamon, raisin and apple BBQ chutney, had me completely hooked - and before I knew it I’d scoffed the lot :smile: The sweet potato and onion hash was pretty tasty too!

They always seem to have a lot of fish on the menu too Mags.

Sounds like you both enjoyed yourselves here. Thanks for the pics.

I'm especially interested in the veggie meals that Paul has as although I'm not a veggie myself I rarely eat any meat or fish(other than chicken or Turkey)

Loved the report and photos Sue, brought back memories from my last trip when we tried Olivias for the first time and had a fantastic meal there. I had the pasta too and there was definitely an unexpected (but very yummy) 'hint' of garlic.
