Some of what's in the menu
Ilana S.

Very cozy place - very friendly just like home. Lamb chop with rice and greek salad . Some of the deserts are home made.

Horiatiki salad
Jason P.

After dragging ourselves around in 95+ degree heat, lunch needed to be light, fast, and not smothered in melted cheese or regret. Casual Greek at OLIV PIT in Boca it was. Rachel went with the spinach pie lunch special, which was upgraded with a beet salad and a side of tzatziki. The spiral-shaped spanakopita looked gorgeous--golden and crisp on the outside--but inside, it leaned more pastry than spinach, was undercooked and was underfilled. The beet salad was fresh and tangy with a little feta crumble, and the tzatziki had good herbal flavor. I mentioned to the owner on the way out that a traditional layered version might yield a better spinach-to-phyllo ratio and more consistent cooked result. She didn't disagree. Mom had the grilled chicken wrap with fries, which was fresh and well put together, though the heat and the day's appointments had understandably dulled everyone's appetite. I ordered the keftedes (Greek meatball) wrap with a side of lemon potatoes, and it was the standout. The meatballs had great seasoning and texture, the tzatziki was properly garlicky, and the wrap was packed with fresh tomato, red onion, and herbs. The potatoes were soft, lemony, and generously dusted with oregano and parsley--classic, no notes. Service was quick, portions satisfying, and the lunch specials are a solid value. Would definitely return--especially for those meatballs.

Updating my last review, I've never been disappointed here. Great authentic Greek food, from the avgolemono to the gyro to the pasticcio, and don't forget the beet salad with extra feta, nothing was less that great, and the service was awesome! A must go restaurant!

What a fabulous lunch experience we had here. For some reason, I had thought this was one of those fast-food bowl mediterranean places, so I was extra happy to find out it was a regular restaurant when we stopped by. I'm not a big fan of bowls where everything is mushed together. The setting reminded me of a European cafe. The walls are decorated with cooking utensils. And the light fixtures are cheese graters over the light bulbs. Quite unique. They have their regular menu as well as a blackboard out front that lists lunch specials. We looked through both and a number of items appealed. My husband wasn't that hungry, so he opted for one of their lunch specials and I chose an appetizer. He got their soup and salad. The soup was the Greek lemon avgolemono soup (sorry about the spelling). It was a bowl full of lemony chicken broth with bits of chicken and rice. For a salad, he upgraded to their village salad -- that's the one without the lettuce. I think it was only $1.50 more to upgrade. The salad was crispy and freshly made. It was in a light dressing. A nice sized wedge of feta cheese rested on top. I got to have some of his salad. And I shared my appetizer of Greek style smelts with him. The small fried fish were perfectly cooked and crispy. There were two dipping sauces -- I used the mustard based one along with a squeeze of fresh lime. You don't find these on a menu that often or if you do, the fish are large and bony. These were delicious. For dessert, he had a slice of galaktoboureko. It's one of his favorites. He liked the middle layer of custard filling. I like the outside filo dough with the sweet syrup (I stole a few bites). I definitely want to come back here to try more of their menu. Loved the setting and the food. And to me, it's worth the drive even if I'm not in the area.

Falafel
Navene S.

TL:DR: I do Not recommend this place due to poor quality food and even worse customer service. Avoid...Plenty of other great Mediterranean places around. ---- This used to be our go to place for dinner with the family as we love to support family owned businesses. The food a year ago was way better and the service was so nice and sweet and accommodating. Over the years this establishment has deteriorated. We were excited to eat here one evening and arrived to a half empty restaurant on a Saturday night and chose to sit outside. My brother and I arrived first and waited for our mother to arrive. We sat down and noticed our table was dim lit because of a big umbrella open and kindly asked to be moved to a table nearby. Our server, a bearded bald man, said grumpily "I have to go inside and see if we are expecting anyone first" he came back and said they were and we weren't able to move to any other table. Meanwhile the place remained half empty and the table we wanted remained unoccupied the remainder of our stay. While waiting for our third guest we were hungry and decided to put in an appetizer of our favorite falafel, some drinks and a water with no ice. My glass of wine arrives after a couple minutes. After a few minutes the falafel came and after tasting it, we realized this isn't the falafel they normally serve. It's hard flaky, devoid of flavor and stale. We thought perhaps some tahini would make it easier to go down so we requested this from the server. We wait unable to eat the remaining 2 falafel as they didn't taste good at all for the tahini to arrive. Meanwhile, I did not get the water with no ice and had to flag someone else to get it for me as our server was not around. We wait 10 mins until we decided to flag him down finally and remind him. Please keep in mind the restaurant is not busy tonight. He said oh! And goes to the kitchen for a few minutes and brings out the tahini. At this point, our falafel gets cold and we dont like it anyways so we kindly tell him and he says unfortunately there is nothing we can do because you ate 2 of them. We kindly explain to him that we were hungry and waiting for you and they were not good and you took long to get the tahini. He again replies sorry but we cant do anything because you at 2 of the 4 already. I kindly ask him to then charge us for the 2 and make another batch for us. And he says we cannot do that because this is the falafel we always make. So my brother says thanks we'll get the check please. The check comes out and he charges us for everything including the tahini. We did not touch the tahini. My brother goes inside and tries to speak with the owner who used to be nice and understanding and says you come to eat not to worry about the time, dismisses us and tells the server to just charge me for my wine ($13) which I only drank half of. We give them $15 cash and left. And I wish I didnt give them anything because I left with such a bitter taste in my mouth. The server was so rude! Was not friendly or open or welcoming did not take care of his guests and the owner doesnt have a clue about how to resolve customer service issues and now I will never go back or recommend that place again. It's a pitty, oliv pitty because you used to be great and now they will continue to loose valuable reliable customers until they work on improving their food and their attitude. My brother works in the food industry and is a generous customer and tipper and knows how hard it can be to be a server and really cuts people slack and he even was upset about the whole ordeal. Im a foodie and love family owned restaurants and would rave about this place but unfortunately they do not deserve such treatment anymore.

Pastachio with Lemon Potatoes

The food was amazing and the service was even better! Our waiter was so friendly and so refreshing. I got the pastachio with lemon potatoes and it was delicious.

Grilled spiced mushrooms

Vegan delight!! Grilled a veggie wrap with a father in Plymouth, grilled mushrooms, beautifully spaced. Baba ghanoush and a true falafel. Lovely, quiet outdoor eating too

The best and most authentic Greek food in town. Beautiful family owned business. My husband and I love Ms Ana's mousaka is the best I have had in Palm beach

Chicken breast pita wrap with a side of grilled veggies
Jennifer C.

Food was good but the overall experience definitely left a poor taste in our mouth. We came as a group of four on a Saturday night at 6:30 and it was pretty empty inside. When we were seated, it took about 10 minutes for us to even get acknowledged by a waiter. When she came, she said she didn't have any menus for us since they were short on them. They also didn't have a wine menu and were mostly doing wine by the bottle and only had a house red or white. For both of these, the reason they gave was because of supply chain issues? We ordered B&L (beef and lamb) pita wraps and chicken breast pita wrap, which after 5pm require an additional purchase of a side. My partner got the chicken plate with potato and rice. The plates all came out at different times which was a little annoying. The flavors and quality of everything was top notch. A good amount of food too but the price was definitely higher so I would hope the sizes matched. All throughout the meal our water was not refilled and we had at 4 different servers that didn't seem to communicate with each other. The waiter who took our wine order wasn't the same as when we ordered food. Then at the end the person who gave us our check had it done incorrectly but the person who fixed it was different. Note: there's a $10/person surcharge once live music starts around 7:30. We didn't know this when we sat down and by the time we ordered it was close to 7. The waiter said he'd waive it for us but they were pretty sneaky in that $10 surcharge since it's fine print on the menu

I arrived hungry and tired, and from the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. Our server, Amit, was wonderful, and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc promptly made its way to the table. Exactly what I needed! I ordered the grilled chicken breast pita with feta cheese, tahini, and their homemade hot sauce on the side. Absolutely delicious! The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the pita was fresh, and all the accompaniments complemented each other beautifully. The restaurant has such a cute, cozy bistro feel, and the hospitality really made the experience stand out. I also love their lunch specials and already have my eye on the soup and salad combination for my next visit, an old favorite of mine. Wonderful food, fantastic service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Easily 5/5, and I'll definitely be back!

I started off with a Lemon Nana cocktail, the hummus plate, and the Shuk Salad. Everything was DELICIOUS! I can't rave about it more. This is my new "date" spot or after work dinner spot. Did I mention that the location is beautiful? Well it is! Highly highly recommend!

Going in, there were a decent amount of seats available and we placed our orders quickly. For dinner, we ordered 1x small bowl with spicy chicken, yellow rice, kale, red pepper hummus, mushrooms, cucumber & tomato salad, taboli salad, pickled cabbage, red onions, olives, feta, and the spicy tahini sauce and 1x pita wrap with medi chicken, taziki, cucumber & tomato salad, lettuce, pickled cabbage, olives, garbanzo beans, mushrooms and red pepper hummus. Moving on with my review, everything was very tasty! The spicy chicken bowl had great contrast of sweet, tangy, spicy, salty flavors, and ingredients all tasted very fresh too! The medi chicken pita also had a great combination of flavors and all the condiments/ingredients tasted freshly prepared! Overall, we were glad to shake up our usual food routine for a change as everything again was fresh and not too pricey considering the quality and portion sizes received. My final rating of Orion is 5/5 stars!

My attitude was simple: it's about celebrating my friend. I'm so glad I did because this visit completely changed my mind. The restaurant's new location (where Mellow Mushroom used to be) is beautiful, spacious, and has a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for gathering with friends. Since we were sharing, we sampled a little of everything, and it was all delicious. Favorites included the falafel, Lebanese moussaka, crispy Brussels sprouts with Aleppo date glaze, baba ghanouj, classic hummus, Rocca beet salad, and the fresh, flavorful fattoush salad. Every dish was colorful, well-seasoned, and perfect for sharing around the table. The drinks kept flowing, and everyone was having a great time. To celebrate the birthday, we finished with an orange olive oil cake and a rich dark chocolate cake with sauce--both were wonderful endings to a fantastic meal. A special shout-out to our server, Ariana, who was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind to everyone at the table. She helped make the evening even more enjoyable. This visit completely changed my opinion of the restaurant. Great food, a beautiful new space, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere made for a memorable evening. What a beautiful transition! We needed that. Thank you for proving me wrong--I will definitely be back!

Very nice menu with more of a Lebanese offering. Ok wine list but only 3 red wines by the glass. We were seated next to a table of 12 girls there for a bachelorette party. Service was very good except when I ordered my main, I asked what options where available instead of rice and was told a few but not that there was an upcharge. Started with a very good Rocca Beet Salad, Arugula with red beet, feta, toasted sumac walnuts with a pomegranate vinaigrette dressing , a little light on the feta. For mains, my wife ordered the Chicken Shish Tauk, chicken breast skewers with pickles and toum garlic whip and served with rice. She really enjoyed it. I opted for Lamb Chops with a cilantro mint pesto. Six chops ordered pink but inconsistent, several medium well, a couple pink, and one almost rough. Chose Charred Mixed Vegetables instead of rice , they were great worth the $5. Great experience great vibe but I felt it was overpriced.
