Love! It hits all the marks for me when I need a Mediterranean/Turkish food fix. Our dinner for 3…read morewas about $300 after tip so it wasn't an inexpensive meal. Atmosphere is so cozy and inviting. It's not informal. Dressy casual is perfect for here. The chicken shishkabob was great and served as a generous portion. My husband wasn't crazy about the gyros plate since he likes his meat crispy. I on the other hand loved how tender it was. My daughter had salmon and devoured it without any problems at all (and she can be a picky eater). We did have dessert and it didn't really leave an impression. Service was fabulous and our server was incredibly friendly.

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.

You can find something on this menu that you're going to love. Bread is fresh and so are the deli meats and all the toppings from green pepper to banana peppers to lettuce, tomato and spicy oil and vinegar dressing you'll put together a perfect sandwich. We had two different ones the Italian with the hot capicola, which was perfectly spicy and loaded with meats. The second sandwich was a ham, cheese and salami with lettuce, banana peppers, tomato, onion, all the fixings and that hit the spot too. We had two 8 inch subs and nothing was left. We also had chips on the side And that added to making the sandwich a perfect lunch combo. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because parking is extremely limited and in the back. If you don't know this deli, you wouldn't know where parking is but if you drive around the back, you'll see a very small parking lot and an entry into the deli. Staff is friendly and super helpful if you're not sure what to get. The place was crowded at lunchtime on a weekday with plenty of regulars, they know a good thing when they taste it. I'm looking forward to coming back into town to try something different since the menu was so vast it just means I have to come back again and again.

Can't believe I actually found the name of it because my four kids and I were thoroughly impressed with their kindness and service! My kids ordered the cheeseburger, chicken and Mac n cheese. The owner does emphasize that it is made with gouda. My kids refused to listen so two bites later... My kids loved how crunchy the fries and tater tots were! I personally think my steak salad stole the show! I could just eat the meat by itself. Delish!! We were heading to Caspersen immediately afterwards so I couldn't bring leftovers home, but I was thinking about that salad afterwards and still think about it. I wonder if it thinks about me too?? Lol The coolest part, aside from understanding owners that LOVE kids is her miniature collection of random things that are displayed in a glass case. We love all the tiny things so that was a sweet surprise! We will definitely be back and I'm bringing my leftovers home this time!

But it was average at best nothing awful nothing great. We had an Italian sub since that's how we like to judge our sub shops. We start with a standard and if we like it then we'll try something else the next time. However it was no different than any other sub sandwich. I really don't have much more to say about it. There's a few tables in here and other people seem to like it.

Everything tasted fresh, and they honestly had some of the best restaurant refried beans I've ever had. My berry mojito was fresh, light, and refreshing, and the staff was incredibly polite and attentive. I also really loved the atmosphere. The decor is light, fresh, and inviting--not the typical quintessential Mexican restaurant decor--which made the whole place feel bright and relaxed. So glad we found this place. Highly recommend, and we will absolutely be back!

And much better than the usual sub places!!
