Great food, delicious. I loved how quaint it is. Perfect serving size. Love the outdoors setting

I enjoyed a great work lunch at Lemon & Olive in downtown Newberg with a few coworkers, and I'm so glad we decided to try it. This little spot is truly a hidden gem--tucked behind Valley Wine Merchants on College Street. It took us a minute to find, and for a second we thought we were in the wrong place, but once you step inside you're met with a quaint, cozy eatery serving up delicious Greek food. I ordered the Gyro Salad Bowl with chicken skewers, and I was very impressed. The portion was generous, the ingredients were incredibly fresh, and everything was seasoned perfectly. You could tell it was made right there on the spot. Someone in my group ordered the baba ghanoush, and it looked amazing--I'll definitely be getting that next time I'm in town. The menu is on the smaller side, but what they do offer is clearly well thought-out and very well executed. Prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The only downside is that it can be a little tricky to find, and the space is quite small--so it's not ideal for large groups. But for a tasty, fresh, well-prepared meal in a charming setting, Lemon & Olive is absolutely worth a visit. I'd definitely return and try more of their menu! read more

Absolutely on point. Zero complaints about anything on the veggie platter. Falafel was cooked perfect, the hummus was awesome, the fried cauliflower was seasoned perfectly, and the pita is fantastic. I've paid 2-3 times more for inferior meals. Great value. Great food. Highly recommend. read more

I really liked this place. It has that Speakeasy vibe in that it's sort of hidden away. It feels like you're in a special place that is on a need to know basis. I had the salad that was excellent and flavorful. The presentation was very nice. The smash potatoes were so tasty and crispy with the feta. I missed getting a picture of the Fig Hazelnut Baklava but it was delicious. The service was great. I liked their casual friendliness and helpful recommendations. read more

Went around noon and the place was packed! The wait was going to be about 45 minutes so we had to pass due to time constraints but while we were deciding we watched the cooking team prepping the food and it looked amazing everything from the freshly fried falafel, to the rich hummus and vegetables... the food smelled great and looked colorful and beautiful. This is definitely a place we want to return. Makes sense why it's so packed! The only reason I can't give it a five star is because I didn't actually get to taste the food yet. Just wanted to complement the atmosphere, the court courtesy of the service even though we couldn't stay, and the anticipation! read more

Hard to find, off an alley and used public parking abut a block away Order at the counter and find a table. Tried the Gyro - too large to fold up and eat so used a fork and knife. The beef/lamb was cut off the spit was very dry. The spanakopita was okay. Had a nice ambiance if you sit inside but cold on the patio during winter. Buss your own table. Bottom line: Okay but no rushing back. read more

The food was fresh and delicious! The service was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable.

Beyond grateful that we were able to come upon this place. We live in the town next to Newberg and we're looking for Mediterranean food. Realize that this place was exactly where one of our favorite pizza places used to be. The staff was phenomenal and the food was even better. A lot of variety in flavors were overwhelmingly delicious. Because this place is located in an alley off of one of the main streets it's a little tricky to find, but the converted garage/ open kitchen space was amply heated and even had blankets set out. read more

Wonderful food, helpful servers and an overall great location! The smash potato's are incredible!!!!

Just keeps getting better and better. I think they have made it through all the pitfalls of a restaurant going from food cart to brick and mortar. They are am starting to expand the menu a little bit and often have specials of the day which allows the cook to expand on the offerings normally available. All of the food seems to have stepped up a level as they continue to grow into their space. There is indoor and out door covered seating. Both are good options. Inside can get full if you are a party of two or more. Not bad as there seems to always be the outside option in a warmed or airy open environment. They can close the gate when weather demands it and fire up the heaters. They also provide blankets for those feeling under dressed. It's a order at the counter and pick up when your pager beeps restaurant. You pick up your own silverware and water. They also ask you to bus the table. Makes me wonder what I am tipping for. Very friendly and knowledgeable at the counter. A definite good date night spot. Keep the large family at home or another destination. Four is really the enjoyable max. Great food. Good prices Keeps getting better read more

I will dream of this restaurant forever! We stopped for dinner on a Saturday night - they were busy and service & food were both still exceptional. A very nice outdoor patio that was both cute and cozy and accommodating to a rowdy bunch of kids! We do not live nearby and will probably start considering an hour drive just to come back. read more

The gyro was great and cheap! Can't beat $12 for a fresh filling meal. The little potatoes could've used some salt !

The first thing you need to know about Lemon and Olive is how to find it: it's tucked way at the back of a building with no obvious signage. You get there through the alley on the north side or through a parking lot on the south side. No parking in the alley or the lot, so street parking only. This is not at all clear on Yelp, which offers no map at all for this restaurant, or on L&O website. Okay, now for the good stuff: adorable "fast casual" setting (used to be a food truck and still maintains that vibe), enthusiastic staff and truly great food! Old style gyros sliced from the spit-roast, yummy smashed potatoes, Babaganoush is smooth and smokey, veggies are fresh and the lamb special was a hit. We will be back soon, and I hope this place thrives in spite of being a bit hard to find. read more

Hidden gem - worth looking for. We stumbled on this place while visiting the Wednesday Market. Little dive atmosphere (in a positive way) with a great vibe - exactly the kind of place we love. Indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly and helpful people, good with helping with vegan options. We got a Mediterranean sampler, smashed potatoes and local wine. The food was delicious. read more

I was looking for a great gyro. They didn't disappoint with the food Prices are steep! Not sure if I will be a regular there due to cost of their food read more

The food change my life in the best possible way. After taking a bite of the Mediterranean salad and perfectly juicy chicken, I knew I would have to come back to Oregon from California just for there food. It's the perfect balance of healthy and light mixed with hearty and delicious. Everything felt and was so home made, you could watch all the food being cooked and prepared right in front of you. The service was a little slow. However, the ambiance completely made up for the wait. Lemon and olive is the kind of restaurant that makes you happy to be waiting with its inviting environment, friendly servers, and delicious smells. 9.8/10 would recommend. Do it for yourself, and if you're reading this do it for me, GO EAT AT LEMON AND OLIVE!!! read more

excellent food and good service in a cozy ambiance Hadn't experienced this kind of delicious food since visiting Athens. read more

This place is fantastic. The ambience is amazing. The people were great and the food was the same. I will be coming back here again for sure. Highly recommend it. Solid spot! read more

Good atmosphere and expertly prepared food. The flavored rice went really well with the lamb and the all those cucumbers and tomatoes and other ingredients blended well with the dish. read more

Blown away! The food is made fresh and the flavors are amazing! Will be back for more.

Located in a great little area of food trucks (6 food trucks total in this spot) with ample outdoor (but under a tent) seating. The service was fast as it took 15 minutes for the food to be ready. I had the lamb and beef salad, which was delicious. The dressing and tzatziki it was served with was really good. They give you plenty of meat on the salad in relation to the price you pay. The hummus is on the thicker side and has good flavor. The pita bread is good and comes pre-cut in smaller triangles. read more

A small place tucked behind a building on College way. I was very impressed with the rice bowl with chicken. Beautiful food presentation and flavors. I stopped here in the afternoon after visiting a few local vineyards. I foumd this on Yelp and what a winderful treat. I will return and highy recommend you stop in enjoy as well. read more

Very expensive for what you get. I ordered a Mezz Sampler. Cost $18. Got 2 small falafel. 1/2 cup tzatziki, some sliced veggie, splat of hummus, a sliced pita. The only culinary aspect is the falafel and they were fine, normal. Their wines are $14 per glass. The service was good. The place of business has a funky barn-like charm that I would return to IF the sampler was $12 and the wine was $9. read more

We had the (open face) gyro and lamb stew. The gyro was very good with a side of olive oil garlic sautéed potatoes. SUPERB though the gyro was hard to negotiate on a plate. The lamb stew could greatly benefit by the addition of more vegetables (a la Moroccan style). Owner was very involved in all aspects of her business and her staff were very attentive. Prices were most reasonable. Service first rate. Ambiance will improve as they just moved into current space but uniquely eclectic now! read more

Small place behind a wine tasting thing. Food is good! Not super fast though. Made one thing at a time.

I love this place and their food is always delicious. I understand why this place is always packed. One downside may be having to wait a while for your food but it's understandable once you eat here. read more

Excellent! The food, the service, the atmosphere, all fantastic. We came in at the end of the night and were served graciously which was much appreciated. The recommended smashed potatoes were fantastic, must try! We had two rice bowls with chicken (delish) and two gyro plates- also much enjoyed. Our new fav spot in Newberg. read more

Thank you for opening this sweet, local, relaxed, innovative cafe. I feel like I can go casual or dressed. The smells offer an appetizer in itself but don't forgo anything on the menu. I've enjoyed this little gem! read more

I have only been here once but it was really good, order at the counter, nice touch of having blankets in the outdoor seating.

Super cozy, clean little place tucked in an alley! Friendly staff with delicious Mediterranean food! Recently priced! Sweet place to go for a light informal dinner! read more

The food is Mediterranean and very delicious. The restaurant is very small with ambiance. Will definitely go back.

So yummy! Salad was crisp and flavorful, gyros so tasty, smashed potatoes not to be missed.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I had the salad with cauliflower and chicken. It was like eating a gyro in a bowl. It was only $12! What a great deal. I can't wait to come back. There is a small indoor area and a large outdoor area for seating. read more

Came for lunch today and it was phenomenal. First off, very friendly staff. We were greeted with a smile and just felt warm and welcoming. The food came out pretty quickly. I ordered the lamb salad. It was a huge portion of food with a generous amount of meat on it. That meat was so tender and flavorful I couldn't believe how delicious this salad could be. AMAZING!!! The tomatoes were a deep beautiful red with rich flavor. Zero complaints from this customer. We will be back and bringing more friends. read more

This is an easy 5 star review for me. This little spot is pretty new, but not new to Newberg. They used to have a food truck in our little food truck space but now they have this cool cozy space. This place is serving up some of the best Mediterranean food around. They have gyros, and salads, and of course hummus and a host of other plates and sides. One of my favorite things to eat are gyros, so of course I had to try that first. Along with it I tried their smashed potatoes with harissa mayo. I'll start with the smashed potatoes, they were so darn good! And the harissa mayo was like the best sauce I've had, and it pairs so well with the potatoes. The star of the show for me was the gyro! The lamb was so crispy around the edges yet perfectly tender. The veggies were crisp and the flatbread was warm and soft. I couldn't stop eating till it was gone! I will leave you with a pro tip... get extra harissa mayo to dip your gyro in! Get over here and sit in their small intimate dining room or in one of their outdoor tables and eat some great food! read more
