" I was quite disappointed during my dining experience at Green Olive. While the atmosphere was pleasant and the service friendly, the food simply didn't meet my expectations. The gyro wrap was bland and lacked the robust flavors I've come to expect from Mediterranean cuisine. They could improve on the seasoning and presentation. I might give them a second chance, but for now, my experience was just average. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Green Olive with my family, and we left with full stomachs and happy hearts! The food was exceptional, especially the shepherd salad, which had a delightful zing. The lamb kebabs were cooked to perfection. I also appreciated the friendly service; our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance was cozy but could use more decor in my opinion. Overall, a fantastic experience that we will remember! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was impressed by the attention to detail at Green Olive. The Mediterranean flavors were rich and reminiscent of traditional family recipes. The staff was courteous and attentive, ensuring our dining experience was enjoyable. I do wish that the decor matched the quality of the food, as it feels a bit outdated. However, I absolutely plan to come back for more of those savory dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend and I tried the Green Olive restaurant for lunch, and it was a fantastic choice! The authenticity of their Mediterranean dishes really stands out. From the refreshing hummus to the perfectly seasoned chicken kebabs, every bite was a testament to their commitment to quality. The cozy setting made it even better, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. I highly recommend their appetizer sampler—it was generous and packed with flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Green Olive for the first time last weekend and it was a delightful experience! The flavors in their lamb kofta wrap were so rich and authentic, I felt transported to the Mediterranean. I also tried the Turkish flatbread with hummus, which was soft and fresh—simply delicious. Despite being busy, the staff remained friendly and efficient. My only critique would be that the atmosphere could use a bit more character, as it felt a bit plain. Still, I'll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Green Olive stands out for its authentic Mediterranean cuisine. I visited with friends, and we ordered various dishes to share. Everything was well seasoned and delicious, especially the chicken kebabs. The service was friendly albeit a bit slow due to the crowd on a Friday night. The atmosphere was nice, albeit simple, suitable for catching up over good food. I'll return to try more items on their menu soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last visit to Green Olive, I found the experience to be quite underwhelming, especially since I had high expectations based on previous reviews. I ordered the mixed kebab platter, but the meat seemed dry and lacked seasoning, which was disappointing. On the other hand, the service was top-notch, with friendly staff attending to our needs promptly. The atmosphere, while nice, didn't quite make up for the food's shortcomings. Perhaps it was just an off-day for the kitchen, but I might reconsider dining here again. " (*Curated Review*)
