Bread and Olive

This is a wonderful place operated by knowledgeable and friendly people. They have a variety of delicious food and drink options. The grilled cheese here is taken to the next level, definitely a must try! Also, the desserts are fantastic! If you find yourself at a Sea Dogs or Celtics game and have some time before or after you should check it out!

Absolutely lovely, delicious small plates and refreshing specialty drinks in a clean and cozy space. Had their version of shrimp cocktail with an expresso martini. Great addition to Portland. This place has become very popular with folks that want light fare and amazing cocktails. Simply the Best!!! Paul Hood

Great laid back ambiance (loved the vintage jazz playlist). Well chosen small plate choices. Loved everything except the unripe tomatoes in the special burrata and tomatoes (it's still homegrown tomato season so should have been better). Bread and olives - very good; seared tuna (sesame coated, perfectly cooked) - exceptional; martini - large and very well-mixed; special burrata/tomato plate - nice blend of flavors except for the unfortunate tomato. Surprisingly reasonable prices for high quality food and drinks.

We discovered this " best kept secret" while staying at the Inn at St. Johns. It's incredible to be able to say that every aspect of our meal, the colossal shrimp that was grilled with perfect textures and flavor, to the brilliant creme brulee and wonderful port, is worth the visit and a return! Portion sizes are perfect for small plated meals, absolutely no waste. Bread and olive is an establishment where the value is equal between meal,service and quality of atmosphere... Very well done! Philip and Sonja Litchfield, Minnesota Parking: Typical Portland parking but it is within walking distance from any of the available side street spaces.

Everything from the drinks to the ambience to the decor was 5 stars! We had such lovely conversations with Sarah and other locals who seem to just adore this place. The night we had here was one for the books!
