Restaurant Review: Olivia's (Old Key West)

Well... I can say now that I have found my new favorite restaurant at Disney... Olivia's Cafe, at Disney's Old Key West Resort. My mother and I just randomly decided to check it out. I always loved driving through OKW, and we saw it, and stopped by. It was pretty quiet, there were always tables available, so I have a feeling that not too many people really know about this place. (Also a word to note... I think this place might have Character meals on certain days... but not our meal...)

The atmosphere was very light... casual... like a down home cafe you'd find in a small town... mismatched seats, pictures on the wall, random decorations... but done very nicely.

The food they have there is $$ rated. They have all sorts of food, from seafood, to meat, to poultry, as well as other specialties.

My mother had the Blue Lump Crab Cakes (I think that's what they were called), and I had a Caesar salad, followed by the Fillet Mignon with Lobster stuffed shrimp.

I'm very picky about caesar salads... too many places will just drown the salad with dressing... but at Olivia's it was just right. Just enough dressing to make it tasty, but light enough so that you could taste the fresh crisp romaine lettuce.

My dinner was the best meal that I have had in many many months. It came with a fillet mignon, which was very tasty, and juicy, cooked just right. Simply delicious. It also came with Lobster Stuffed Shrimp... they were so wonderful... As with most meals, it also came with real good mashed potatoes, and tasty vegetables (tonight was squash, zuccinni, and carrots)

It was such a great meal... I would have cleaned my plate, but I don't think my mother would have let me lick it clean... lol :)

I didnt try my mothers crab cakes, but she told me they were very very good... :)

Anyways... I HIGHLY reccommend that y'all check out Olivia's at the Old Key West resort... it's kind of like a lil hidden secret place. AMAZING food, good service, you won't be dissapointed.

I can tell!!! And I don't blame you... it was very nice to just be able to walk in, and have a great meal without big crowds and long waits.

Cool

Thanks for the well timed post. I just made reservations to stay at Old Key West (I am a DVC member too) for the first time. I will be there on July 6-11 for a golf vacation. I was always wondering if Olivia's was good or not, so now I will give it a go when I am there.

It is near Port Orleans.

Old Key West

OKW is on the corner of Community Drive and Bonnet Creek. Port Orleans is next door on one side and The old Disney Institute is just up Community Drive. They are all on the Sasagola River. You can bicycle a back path all the way to Downtown Disney or even take a boat there.

Be careful about staying at Old Key West or any DVC resort. Once you stay at a full apartment, you'll never want to settle for a room again.

I love Olivia's as well, they also do character breakfasts there too, if you have little ones around. or 21 year olds (like myself) who love disney. And I too love OKW, I am so glad my parents decided to buy into the place! :D
