The Olive Steakhouse Cong Quynh

I discovered this restaurant during a casual stroll in District 1. It’s located in an apartment building, but it's easier to find than other places. The restaurant is cozy and private, making it ideal for dates or small groups of 2 to 4 people. The ambiance is especially lovely in the evening when the warm yellow lights enhance the sophistication of the place, making it great for photos. My favorite dish is the 200g striploin with red wine sauce. The steak is thick, and you can choose the doneness to suit your taste. It’s tender and not chewy, and it pairs wonderfully with creamy mashed potato, which really elevates the flavor of the beef. Each beef dish comes with different sides, making for a varied dining experience.

On my first visit here, I was impressed by the friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant is easy to find. It's small but quiet and cozy. The prices are quite reasonable for the city center. The food is delicious and even more affordable. I had the 300g of ribeye with 2 sauces: cheese and mushroom, along with a thick beef salad that resembled my favorite mashed potato dish topped with cream and garlic mushrooms. Overall, the restaurant maintains a stable quality that is commendable. I will definitely return and bring some friends along.
