Olive's — Restaurant in New York

The food's fine, the drinks are ok - but man a) are they overpriced b) is one of the servers' communication style downright horrible. The young folk working at that place is just wonderful - sweet and friendly, what have you; yet, the most senior lady (might be the manager or the owner even?) is pretty much hostile in how she talks to you - not a one-time thing, either. They're all wearing masks and this is where using one's voice comes in, which she's very much capable of in my experience. no "you're welcome", no "sure", no "there you are/go", no nothing, just stands there and stares at you projecting all kinds of inexplicable hostility whilst taking your order; like, what on earth is your problem?? every time I see she's there, I avoid the place as it seriously seems like she doesn't want my business - she would've made a teeny effort to connect with them clients, otherwise. Jeez. Don't act like you're too good for those you talk to - do they not deserve the simplest signs of 'minimal friendliness'? Again, not a one-time thing with her. A constant. Ugh. not coming back. Get some manners, this...

Do an amazing job and someone will poach you to a better job soon enough- it happens all the time! Do a lousy job and you just make everyone including...

Whoa! We -- my 9-year-old GRL and me -- love love love this place! We were riding our bikes around lower Manhattan over the weekend and were thrilled to find Olive's up and running, serving up their tastier than anything/ever sandwiches served by a dude with an awesome appreciation of early punk (as I was wearing a DK T-shirt and the guy advised my daughter to raid my music collection every chance she got 🤙)! She ate the Ahi and I ate the Shiitake sandwiches and, man, oh...
