Looks like Ava, which closed at Third and Gaskill in the winter, will now be called Olive. We hear that Christine Fischer, who ran ChrisStevens nearby and then Astral Plane Millennium for a spell, is the new proprietor, but haven't been able to get her to talk just yet. Will keep you posted.

If your looking for a nice quiet place to relax and eat too much!!! Olive is the place for you. All I can say is that the appetizer portions are generous as are the entrÃ©es. Amazingly I forced down a very tasty desert with some of the finest coffee I've ever tasted; I always add cream but not this time... Desserts are calorific, LOL! My reference to quiet is that Olive is located just off South Street on 3rd which keeps the shopping crowd from stepping over you if you partake in the outdoor serving arraignments.
