" Superb Mediterranean fare! The Green Olive excels in serving dishes that are both flavorful and authentic. You can taste the quality in each bite, especially with their freshly made hummus and warm pita bread. I love how generous the portions are, providing great value for the price. The atmosphere is quite lively and perfect for sports fans, though sometimes it can get a tad noisy. Nonetheless, I highly recommend giving this spot a visit for a satisfying meal.

" I had such a wonderful dining experience at The Green Olive! The flavors were authentic and delicious—everything we tried was fantastic. The staff was friendly, and they made sure we had everything we needed. I was particularly impressed with their kofta, which was seasoned beautifully. The only drawback was that it could get a bit noisy when packed, as it is a casual spot. Nevertheless, I am already planning my next visit with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to The Green Olive a few times with my family, and it's become our go-to spot for Mediterranean cuisine. The menu has a good variety—everything from gyros to freshly made falafel. Each dish is flavorful and beautifully presented. Plus, they are very accommodating to dietary restrictions. The atmosphere is friendly and casual, ideal for a family dinner out. I suggest visiting during the week to avoid heavy crowds on weekends. You won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

I adore the diverse menu Tthe special holiday dish they offer showcases their commitment to authenticity. The atmosphere can get a little lively, so be prepared for a lively noise level. Service is generally good, though you might experience slight delays on busy nights. I highly recommend the lamb meatballs and their fresh salads—a true treasure in Ventura! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Green Olive isn’t just any restaurant; it’s an experience! I adore their extensive menu, especially the vegetarian options. The eggplant wrap was divine, and I also loved their homemade dolmas. The only critique I have is that sometimes the service can lag on busy evenings. Nonetheless, it’s worth it because the dishes are wonderfully authentic and flavorful. A fantastic spot to enjoy a meal after a long day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for The Green Olive, especially after hearing great things about their falafel and baba ganoush. I ordered both alongside some grilled chicken skewers. While the falafel was crispy and delicious, the baba ganoush was forgettable compared to others I’ve had. Service was friendly, but it felt a bit slow due to the crowd. Overall, a good experience but not quite what I hoped for in terms of flavors. " (*Curated Review*)
