25 minute wait despite a reservation for 2. Passed 4 empty tables on the way to ours. Hostess was condescending about the wait time. \n\nWe were promptly attended to by the wait staff,  then had to wait 10 min before we saw anyone again. My water sat empty for over 5 minutes. As the meal progressed,  the service improved. \n\nThe food was excellent as I've come to expect from Olives. The carpaccio was excellent. I wish the early impression and the delay in seating hadn't left such a bad taste in my mouth.
