I love a restaurant with a good name and a great vibe. This is not a case of judging a book by its cover. Truly, the atmosphere established by a restauranteur who has taken the time to find a fitting, intriguing name then develop a warm, neighborhood feel inside their doors makes the food taste better.
Maybe it's all psychology, mind tricks, sorcery, or sleight of hand. But it works every time.
I was delighted to come across Dove & Olive, which had me swooning over the cute name. It also totally delivered on the great vibe: felt like a neighborhood pub where everyone would know your name. The food was so good, and considering Sydney prices - so cheap! The company and conversation shared was full of laughter, stories, and learning Aussie idioms and slang.
Kyle and I met up with our friend (whom we met during our last time down under) for a welcome back dinner. We quickly found a table and saw that not only did they have a meal deal but it was also Thirsty Thursday!
So we shared two jugs of beer for $20 and each got an $8 burger. Seriously, three people spending $44 on a meal that includes alcohol is a-maze-ing in Sydney. Even if the food didn't taste that great - which we've already established wouldn't be possible given the name and the vibe of the restaurant - but even if it was tasteless, I'd still consider coming back if only for their daily deals!
To Dove & Olive, thank you for your great name, fantastic atmosphere, delicious burger, perfect fries, wide craft beer selection, and yummy salad. I promise next time to grab a fork so I won't eat my salad with my fingers. Until we meet again, keep being awesome.
