" I ordered takeout from The Golden Olive and was impressed with how well it traveled. The food was fresh, and the portions were very generous. The only criticism I have was that they forgot a small item but they were very apologetic when I called to let them know. Overall, a lovely place to dine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I randomly picked The Golden Olive for lunch, and it turned out to be a wonderful choice! Their plates are filled with generous portions of quality food.
