Customer Reviews
Olive Tree Cafe is amazing! This counter-service restaurant offers delicious, high-quality, and affordable food! I was extremely impressed! The appetizers we ordered were all $7.99 or less, and the mussel ceviche stood out the most. It came with six pieces and was absolutely delicious. Oh, and don’t get me started on the feta! Definitely order extra slices—at least one per person. You won’t regret it. For my entrée, I had the organic chicken souvlaki, which was moist and juicy. You can order it as a pita or a salad, and if you choose the pita, it comes with a side salad. We finished with the baklava, which was perfectly flaky and nutty with just the right amount of sweetness. Did I mention it’s BYOB? Bring your favorite bottle of wine and enjoy a glass while you wait for your food—it mak
Olive Tree Café blew me away—easily the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in for a long time! The hummus and baba ghanoush were absolutely incredible—creamy, fresh, and packed with flavor. I ordered the souvlaki next, and it was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Even though I was already full, I couldn’t resist trying the baklava… and I’m so glad I did. It was just right—flaky, not overly sweet, and the perfect finish to an unforgettable meal. Can’t wait to go back!
As an old school customer(been going since 2003) it is hard to adjust to the new owner's style of running this long standing establishment. The food is about the same, but for those who have been going it is missing the most important ingredient, TLC. Having known the former owners and staff, I always felt welcomed as family. The new staff does not have that warmth, nor the understanding what this establishment was like in the glory days. Currently, they no longer answer their phone. They only accept online orders and every time I've ordered, the food has not been ready by at the time it is promised. I guess they are both slower at making food and unable to answer phones, the old staff could both make food quickly and answer the phones. To make matters worse, they seem not to care about t
Site says indoor and outdoor seating. Chairs stacked up in the corners where you could not take them down to place them around empty tables…and no it was not even close to closing time. The hummus was alright, had better. Was missing a meal even after he read off what we ordered. Wasn’t in the bag and didn’t realize until we were home. Again, would have been caught if there was sitting available as advertised. And lastly, the guy that took the order, seemed not to be bothered when asking questions or even ordering the meals.
The food is amazing, that being said the atmosphere isn’t the same anymore, because of that minus 3 stars. The whole staff has changed and it’s just not the same atmosphere. They recently just changed the lighting to bright fluorescent school lighting and it’s really obnoxious, please bring the warm lighting back and the warmth of the original staff members. (The old staff members seemed like they genuinely loved working there and Olive tree was their lifestyle. New staff members seem like they don’t really want to be there and are just doing it for the paycheck) Will happily update this review to 5 starts if the atmosphere improves!
