Review of Hope & Olive

I’ve eaten here a few times. Imho it’s not worth the price. I made the mistake of ordering tofu. There’s no mention that their tofu is deep fried. I cannot eat anything deep fried due to health issues. When they brought it out and I said I couldn’t eat it, they made a big deal about it and made me feel bad. Three different people talked to me. I felt like a little kid who had done something wrong. They should have put it on their menu that it’s all deep fried! I used to think Hope and Olive was alright, and now I hate them and I don’t think I will be back. They have a provincial chef who doesn’t know how to cook. If you want upscale delicious food go to Osteria Vespa in Amherst.
