I'm honestly not sure why the reviews for Green Olive aren't higher... we really enjoyed our meal here. The food was some of the most delicious we've had in Melbourne so far!
The service was great. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They didn't seem to know the menu details as well as they probably should... we asked if the beef and fish dishes came with sauce and if we needed to order rice. We were told yes, but it turned out only the beef had some sauce (the fish didn't). I didn't really need the rice with my meal after all. Minor mix-up, but no big deal.
The food itself was excellent. The fish was crispy and delicious. The beef was incredibly tender, and once I added a little extra BBQ sauce (the one it originally came with wasn't very flavorful), it was absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were fresh and satisfying.
Overall, a great meal with warm, friendly service. I'd definitely go back and try more from the menu. Don't let the lower reviews turn you off. It's worth a visit! read more
