“ Very delicious and perfect service! Great fried chicken. The mashed potatoes were good but a tad on cool side. The Key Lime pie for desert was tasty. ”
“ Been here for both brunch and also dinner. Love the southernmost buttermilk fried chicken and also the banana bread French toast. Mickey waffles for a topping, of course. Usually not extremely packed nor impossible to get into and it’s a nice getaway right at the Old Key West resort. Give it a shot for brunch! :) ”
“ Visited for our first time today and loved it. Shout out to Tyrone, who considers guests family. My husband had the fried chicken and the banana bread French toast. I had the crab cake eggs Benedict. We also got the French press coffee pot. We will return. ”
“ Atmosphere- 5 stars- Olivia’s Cafe at Disney’s Old Key West Resort has a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere with a charming Key West-inspired vibe. This restaurant has a casual beachside feel complete with nautical decor, pastel colors, and vintage island-inspired artwork. Family photos and memorabilia from Disney Vacation Club members give it a homey, personalized touch. Service- 5 stars- our waitress was super friendly and provided very attentive service. Food- 5 stars- we were there for brunch which had a nice variety of breakfast and lunch items. I went with Olivia’s Breakfast which came with two eggs (had mine scrambled with cheese), breakfast potatoes, buttermilk biscuit and a side of bacon. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the breakfast potatoes came in a creamy cheese sauce which was very good. Not a large breakfast but just the right sized serving for me. Would love to come back and try their lunch or dinner menu. Highly recommend. ”
“ Always on the hunt for good, mid-rare prime rib and Olivia's Cafe did not disappoint. Absolutely flavorful. The coconut bread is very delicious as well! The soup du jour was beef with barley. Very hearty, bold and flavorful. Hush puppies are sweet and savory along with the Bananas Foster. Highly recommend the Bananas Foster for dessert. ”
“ Olivia's remains our favorite for its reliably fantastic food and service. We were thrilled with our latest meal. The warm coconut and pineapple bread is an irresistible start. Stephanie, our wonderful server, suggested the salmon catch of the day, which was absolutely superb – the crispy skin and rich flavor were outstanding. My husband's go-to, the prime rib, was as perfect as ever. We also branched out and tried the crab cakes, which were equally delicious. Olivia's is a true gem highly recommend ”
“ Such a fun ambience to enjoy any time of the year! It has that classic Key West/Old Floridian vibe with really interesting fans that keep it nice and cool. The wait staff are delightful and the food selection is fantastic! I highly enjoyed the Crab-Cake Eggs Benedict with some zero sugar Minute Maid Lemonade, and my husband commented on the Banana Bread french toast saying the only problem was he wish he could have more. They even gave him a button for finishing all of his food! Great place for an enjoyable and yummy dining experience! ”
“ We were lucky to stumble here in the morning; we heard it’s usually very busy and is best with reservations but we walked in and were seated immediately. We got the banana bread and the pancakes! They were surprisingly flavorful especially the pancakes; there’s a bunch of dried pancakes out there where even if you put loads of syrup, it would still not be good but this place has a nice flavor in their pancakes and texture!! Can’t wait to come back. ”
