“ My fiancee & 2 friends ate here for the first time today & loved it! Everything was perfect! The atmosphere is friendly & welcoming. Our waitress (Iota I belive is her name), who was the only waitress this night, was fabulous. She was funny & her recommendations were spot on. But the highlight of our night was the food. Everything was absolutely delicious!! The tiropita, pita sticks, hummus, tzatziki, lemony salmon, lamb chops, garlic shrimp florentine, meat platter & baklava were all the best any of us had ever had. We couldn't believe how great everything was & vowed to return many times, until we've had everything on the menu. We highly recommend The Olive Tree not just for its authentic, freshly made Greek food, but for the great ambiance they've created. We also really appreciated that the owner (think her name is Stavroula) walked around & checked in on every table to ensure nothing was amiss. We'll certainly be back ”
“ My husband and I stopped in one afternoon for a light dinner (Greek salads and dessert) a year and a half ago. We loved the food and service as well as the warm and beautiful atmosphere. When my 70th birthday rolled around this past January, my family treated us to dinner. Our large, happy family had never been to Olive Tree before. They all loved it too! It is now our special event location and our quick light lunch favorite. We just got home from yet another lovely dinner with plenty of leftovers for another meal or 2. Can't say enough good things about Olive Tree - so glad we live close enough to take advantage of such flavorful and healthy meals. ”
“ This place continues to be one of our favorite places. We drive a little over an hour to come here and always love it. We stumbled upon it a year and a half ago. The woman who works here is the best! She is so nice and helpful. The food is amazing. True authentic Greek food. Coming here makes us wish we were in Europe. I love the meat platter. The meatballs and tzatziki are amazing! ”
“ I've been looking for a good authentic Greek restaurant for years and I finally found it! The waitress was wonderful and educated us on some foods we were unfamiliar with. She was very pleasant! ”
“ My wife and I are happy to discover this authentic Greek / Mediterranean gem of a restaurant. We were greeted and seated by the owner, who was attentive to every aspect of the restaurant, from food leaving the kitchen to the service. Greek music played in the background as happy patrons piled in with their wine bottles in hand, the bistro is BYOB. The avgolemono soup was very much like my family’s recipe in taste and texture, and was very good. We ordered the lamb gyro platter and my wife ordered the chicken. The portions were huge and extremely fresh. Although no one can compete with my YiaYia’s dolmades these were pretty darn good and authentic. We ended our meal with the rice pudding which was also wonderful! Great food, wonderful ambiance, authentic cuisine, this place has great energy. I’m looking forward to bringing my parents here for their next visit. We will definitely be back! ”
“ The food is amazing here and so delicious, staff is so kind, and the prices are very reasonable. Visiting in the area for a convention and will highly recommend. Also the Greek coffee is perfect, just the way I like it! ”
“ The dinner was fantastic. The service was excellent. The only item that I think they could improve on was the Greek salad. Although all the ingredients were there, the salad lacked the usual flavor/taste that I gave grown accustom to . ”
“ Wonderful place! We had lunch here. I ordered a pork slovaki, and my wife ordered a gyro salad. Both were delicious. The service was impeccable. The place was clean, including the restrooms. If we lived closer I could see us eating here frequently. ”
