" I was disappointed with my visit to Olive and Lamb. While the food was decent, it didn't stand out compared to other Mediterranean spots I've been to. The service was slow, and our table felt crammed despite it not being too busy. I really wanted to enjoy my meal but felt rushed even when there were open tables. I probably won’t return unless I’ve heard of changes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Trust me when I say that Olive and Lamb is worth every penny! The kabob was the most tender I've ever tasted, and the rice was perfectly flavored. The ambiance made it feel upscale yet casual—ideal for date nights. Our server was attentive, suggesting great drink pairings. I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed my experience here. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about the quality and taste of the food at Olive and Lamb! The flavors were rich, and the freshness of each ingredient was noticeable. I had the chicken kebabs and they were moist and flavorful. The service was decent, and the atmosphere was perfect for a little family gathering. Overall, an excellent dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Olive and Lamb left me with mixed feelings. The gyro meat was flavorful, and I enjoyed the generous portion sizes, but the service left a little to be desired. My server seemed overwhelmed and forgot to bring us our drinks until nearly halfway through the meal. The ambiance was nice, though, which made up for some of the service shortfalls. I might return, hoping for a better service experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Olive and Lamb looking for a lunch spot on a whim, and I was pleasantly surprised! I had the spanakopita and it was one of the best I’ve had. The filling was fresh and flavorful. The only downside was the busy midday crowd making things a little chaotic, but the staff handled it well overall. I would absolutely return to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited Olive and Lamb for lunch, and it ended up being a delightful experience. The place was bustling, yet we managed to get seated quickly. I ordered their special kebab platter and enjoyed the mixture of meat flavors. The service was friendly, though they were a bit busy, leading to a slight delay in our drinks. We left happy and satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Olive and Lamb last weekend. The ambiance was cozy, and the servers were friendly. I ordered the chicken kebab and it was juicy and flavorful. The portions were decent for the price. Although the establishment was busy, the staff managed it well, ensuring all diners were taken care of promptly! I’m looking forward to my next visit.
