Took a friend out for dinner last night after a drink at Allegria hotel bar where we met a guy who knew the owner and completely raved about the place. I have been to this establishment several times before it became Roc & Olive and usually at the bar for drinks, and only once ordered mussels which were horrible then. We decided to share a paella as entree and ordered a couple of appetizers. The waitress said they weren't serving paella. We said that was disappointing and one of the reasons we came there. She said, ok let me double check. She came back and said, they are serving Paella. Not sure what was happening. We asked if they served bread, she said yes, but bread never came. We asked the busboy same question for bread, he said yes. Bread never came. We asked the girl who brought our appetizers if they had bread she said yes. Bread never came. As for drinks, saw the Aperol spritz on menu, asked if they had mint-to make a Hugo spritz (a more popular similar drink right now). Waitress said no. But when we ordered dessert it came decorated with mint. The aperol was too sweet (somehow)- so I watered it down. Water was warm asked for ice several times. As for the food, apps were very good, the Paella was good but most of the mussels were completely dried out and crusty and lobster a tad overdone. The waitress and busboy were were very nice and very accommodating, but the entire experience was bizarre. I live in Island Park and we have great restaurants there- and there are also great restaurants in LB. For this place- the front of the house and the back of the house- need better communication- and less dried out seafood, especially when they are surrounded by...

I recently had my bridal shower at Roc & Olive on Saturday, January 13th. Saying that everything was amazing are not strong enough words. I need to first mention two people. Amanda and Crystal are Rockstar's! We are regulars and know Amanda. I was thrilled when I found out that she would be working and organizing things the day of my shower. She was professional, efficient and thought of everything. I recently lost mom and knew this would be somewhat of a trying day but thanks to Amanda and Crystal the day was so beautiful. The bartender, a dark haired, male, I don't recall his name was also fabulous. The food was outstanding. Due to Covid, many people cancelled at the last minute. Roc & Olive was very gracious and understanding. They even sent out extra food that would have gone to those missing guests. In addition, we had a personal cake issue. Once again, Roc & Olive rose to the occasion and a few days before accommodated us with the most delicious/beautiful cake. Crystal always made sure I had a drink in my hand. The décor was perfect. Again, Roc accommodated my requests to leave the Christmas lights up. Also, that was the day it flooded in Long Beach. My bridal party was late getting there to set up. As a result, Roc understood this and allowed us to stay a bit longer than the contract had said. I can't thank the staff and business enough. People mentioned need recognition and a raise! It's businesses like Roc & Olive that make Long Beach a wonderful place and a tight knit community. A thousand...
