Olivia’s Bistro
Upscale Italian food in Nonantum
Had the pleasure of being part of Friends & Family…the food was beyond delicious, ample portions & nicely plated. There were 6 of us so we could try just about everything; the lamb shank, monkfish, squid ink linguine, mushroom & short rib agnolotti, arugula salad with taleggio, polenta with sausage & fontina & funghi pizza…not a bad bite in any of it. Full disclosure though: I’m the chefs mother, so in addition to being his biggest fan, I’m also his biggest critic! Don’t miss this cozy spot & while you’re there try Ode To The Lake; excellent craft cocktail. Much success to all involved! ~ Olivia’s Bistro Facebook

JORDAN BAILEY
Executive Chef & Owner, Lumière
At just 12 years old, Jordan Bailey’s fascination with the culinary industry was sparked by seasonal trips to France visiting his grandmother, where he drew inspiration from the slew of European-style dishes she prepared in her kitchen. Back at home in Massachusetts, Bailey gained experience cooking often with his mother for the charity, Meals-on-Wheels. It was at age 18 that he landed his first official restaurant job in Charleston, South Carolina.
