The downtown Dayton restaurant "Olive, an urban dive," has been recognized in the July edition of Ohio Magazine for its commitment to farm-to-table dishes in this article called "Farm Fresh."

Here’s a small taste of what Ohio Magazine’s Kara Kissell had to say about Olive:

“It may be tiny, but Olive, An Urban Dive’s impact on the Dayton dining scene has far exceeded its compact footprint. The iconic property is rooted in the landscape while constantly sprouting new ideas. It is at once old and new, retro and forward thinking.”

The article also includes a recipe from Olive for “The Perfectly Paleo Platter.”

Kimberly Collett’s restaurant in a former Wympee diner is located at 416 E. Third St. at Wayne Avenue.
