When I think of the Olive Branch, I immediately imagine a younger Paula Deen with big, blonde Texas hair who magnanimously greets me at the door with a frilly white and blue apron exclaiming, "Hey, y'all wanna cupcake? Extra butter, just for you." Now, the Olive Branch does not serve anything fried or unidentified, but it just has that sort of feel...sort of like "Home and Garden" meets a young Eames. Everything they have is cute. Cute salads. Cute cupcakes. Cute fruit cups. Cute teas. Cute sandwiches...all meshed with a modern edge, clean lines, and, of course, hipster typeface.
Their food is pretty tasty, though perhaps a tad bit overpriced. Great for business lunches or afternoon reading breaks. The kind of folk that go there range from the business brunchers to the nike-short wearin' sorority folk (who arrive mid-afternoon after karaoke at Scruff's the night before, of course). I would definitely recommend it.
