I usually have the lamb chops grilled to perfection but I went with the special, halibut with capers and kalamata olives and glad I did.

A nice, tucked away Greek restaurant…read more My wife and I dined (for the first time) at Stella's this past Sunday evening, Aug. 16. Our reservation was for 6:30pm. When we walked in, we immediately noticed it was unusually warm it was. We were seated in a corner and given menus by the manager. I inquired if their AC was out. He told me it was not, and that the unuausal heat was due to the temporary removal of their awning over the door, which was letting miore light (and heat in ) than normal, and that it would start getting cooler very soon. I had my doubts about this claim, as the sun was aready fairly low on the horizon, but we decided to stick it out. However, as time ticked by, and the kitchen became more and more active, the hotter it became. Eventually, the heat became so uncomfortable (I wold guess abut 80 degrees), that we decided to pack up our meals and leave. Outside it was refreshingly cooler. But onto the food and service. We ordered the dolmades as an appetizer. They were small, bland, and were otherwise nothing to write home about. We also decided to split the Greek Salad. It was excellent! My wife ordered the chicken. She said it was very tasty. I ordered the lamb chops. However, when our food arrived, I was served some pork skewers. instead. When I brought this to the waiter's attention, he apologized, and departed with the pork skewers. It appears that the waiter simply screwed up the order, because when it eventually did arrive (15-20 miutes later), my wife had already eaten most of her food. I wolfed down 3 of the lamb chops (which were quite good), had the remainder of our food packed up (because of the heat), and departed. Food-wise, it was an oveall solid B. Service was a C-. Most notable about the occasion, however, was the horrible heat. We were seated in a corner, which was the fartherst away from any of the fans and AC vents. However, that (in my opinion) doesn't come close to explaining the magnitude of the problem. Three possibilities exist in my book: (1) the manager was lying about the AC being operational; (2) the manager/owner had increased the thermostat to reduce his electrical expenses; and/or (3) the AC compressor was out and/or the coolant was gone. In order to truly enjoy any meal, the temperature must be a comfortable one. Our experience was the antithesis of comfortable, and so while the food was generally good, it was not so outstanding as to merit our returning again and risking the possibility of yet another insufferably "hot" experience. Time to cool my jets.

Before I share my review, I want to start off by saying that this is my family's and my opinion…read moreonly. I'll start with the positives. The food was good. We all basically got various versions of chicken souvlaki. I got the horiatiki salad with souvlaki chicken. It was very flavorful and I loved all the veggies and olives plus delicious feta. My SIL and husband had the two versions of the souvlaki platter which they enjoyed. The chicken was very tender. My SIL didn't really care for the fries. My husband didn't like the vegetables being on top of the Greek potatoes that weren't very good. The primary issue was the woman who waited on us. We were seated a few minutes after we arrived. Unfortunately, we were not given menus which was frustrating and instead of the woman owning it herself, she blamed it on the new guy. We ordered and it took a while to get our food and the restaurant wasn't that busy. The woman kept complaining about various things and I assume most people could hear. Not really the vibe you want when trying to enjoy a meal with family you don't get to see very often. It also took a while to get the check and to go boxes. Everyone has a bad day and the holidays are stressful times. I hope it was just a one off.

The restaurant is clean, including the bathrooms, the decorations are clean looking and fit great into the concept. My comment that I wanted to emphasize, is that it's a family business. The owners make EVERYTHING fresh and are always there!

Putting out place settings outside at tables, and turning on lights......welcomed us right in!! Service is perfect, the water glass never got past half empty (needed after 9 hole in heat advisory and 90F plus weather) It was nice fresh water! We got some pita and hummus for a little app. Pretty good, the hummus was a little thin for dipping and spreading more like a dressing consistency, but tasted great! The pita was fresh baked and properly done. Wife got a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. She said it was very good and the greens and cheese were fresh and flavorful. The chicken was a little charred/burnt edged but not dry. 8/10 I got the Beet Salad and thought this would be my last try for falafel on a salad. (the last three other restaurants it has been a greasy fried ball of "bread crumb sand". yech! Well not here at L'Olive - just the opposite!!!!!! A nice filling that was moist and not bready, just beans and herbs and a nice filling. A LIGHTY fried and NOT very oily at all! 10/10 Falafel is back on my vegan/WFPB/Nutritarian food list. The beets were perfect and ample, the baby spinach was perfect and must have been grown out back in a field it was so green and tasty!! Toss in some yummy figs pieces, a light and nice dressing. Walnuts and orange slices competed the collage of goodies. (I got this sans the goat cheese - "naaaaaaah" I am sheepish about those cheeses) Great salad. 10/10 We both (after the second bread board of pita showed up!!!) had to take half our salads home for the beach tomorrow. Friggin awesome take home boxes!!! They are like Tupperware and we are gonna schlep them right down to the beach!!! I said it before but just to add, service was awesome. These guys are less than 2 miles from our house..... we WILL be back!! Nice job! ========= Note to owner ==== NOT part of the review but an aside. The place is very nice and super clean and nice layout and fantastic sturdy hard chairs for folks with bad backs and etc. and great bathrooms.....HOWEVER 1) you need to reverse the door on the men's room or move that privacy screen and plant - crazy clumsy and goofy. 2) throw out the electric room deodorizer in both bathrooms. they stink worse than five car wash air fresheners! The atomized chemicals wafted my wife and she felt ill. I checked out the men's room and it felt like I was vaping in that "smoke". Pretty musty and stinky.
