Time slows down as soon as you step into Olive & Ivy. Inspired by the French Riviera, our approach to dining allows you to enjoy a few stolen moments with those who matter most while sipping on sangria and nibbling on our Mediterranean food. No matter what you are here for, we’re here to welcome you to a space that is as inviting and relaxing, as it is grand and sophisticated.
The Roaring Fork’s Wood Fired Cooking captures the spirit of bold American cuisine, creating flavors that crackle with a rugged edge.

Select from lamb, chicken, beef, pork and fresh fish entrees all perfectly prepared by wood fire rotisserie, open flame grill or wood oven roasting.
Add to this our impeccable service and an atmosphere as inviting as our food, and you’ve got a dining experience you’ll come back for again and again. Roaring Fork’s ideal blend of energy and intimacy has made it a favorite for over a decade.
