    First time visitor and it was nice! Customer service was good and the food was pretty good. There is street parking and there was a free lot almost right next door with spots for compact cars. We made reservations beforehand and were seated quickly on a Friday evening. It was pretty busy so I recommend reservations, they seem popular. We started out with the Rockfish bites as an appetizer and they were really good. I got the gyro platter and a small Mediterranean salad. I do wish the gyro platter was more traditional with more pita bread. I wasn't a huge fan of the salad, it had a lot of different things in it which is good. Last I got the brownie à la mode. The brownie was alright, nothing special. I only spent $35 with tip which is very reasonable for all I got. Overall I would recommend them and I would go back!

    Intended to go to happy hour at another establishment not too far from Olive on Main but ended up here. My friend have been here many times before so we decided to take a little stroll down Main Street and attend their happy hour instead. It's definitely a neighborhood bar/ hole in the wall and I could tell that it was a proud place for the neighborhood. We took seats at the bar and quickly started asking questions about the happy hour choices from drinks to food options from a young lady that was not the bartender but was extremely helpful. We decided upon a margarita and red sangria for starter drinks as well as baba ganoush and hummus along with the Thai Chili wings for bites. My friend asked for the wings to be fried hard and they came out really good. I got up to wash my hands and noticed the cute decor and snap the quick picture on my way to the bathroom. As I was coming back, I noticed that there were small placards on tables with different menu options including a key lime Margarita that caught my attention because I love love key lime! My baba ganoush and hummus were pretty much the same thing. It tasted like they were both seasoned with smoked paprika and both topped with unpitted olives and a few chicken peas. Although one being chickpeas and the other roasted eggplant, they tasteed almost identical with the only difference being the texture. I didn't taste any garlic in the hummus and I guess that's a personal preference but each time I make my hummus, I always put a little bit of garlic in it and it's not specifically garlic hummus LOL Moving on, the bartender seemed to be extremely busy because we weren't offered water or even second rounds until well after we requested after we were finished with our food. A small mishap occurred and the manager came out shortly after to address it. He introduced himself and asked our names and quickly took accountability. Now that's good management! Things are definitely be tricky and the restaurant world and being able to have a manager who can acknowledge it, take responsibility, and then ask how to make it right is gargantuan. Because of that, I may entertain coming back in the future.

    Hey friends! I was excited to try this place again as I had it a few years ago and loved it. Unfortunately this visit was unpleasant. We ordered a Main Burger and Lamb Burger($38) to-go. We asked for medium and medium rare cooks. Both burgers were extremely overcooked. Beyond well-done. We asked for no Feta cheese on the lamb burger and still received Feta cheese on the burger. The fries were tasty. I unfortunately won't be back. The burger temp is the most important part of the cook, which the cooks blatantly ignored. Hope you enjoy!

    This local spot has some of the best happy hour prices. I come here often, but always forget to leave a review. The happy hour is from 3-6 and features some quality items. This time around I ordered the chicken Shawarma Mediterranean bowl. The meal portion was perfect for happy hour and was really good. This place gets pretty packed, but the staff still manages to get the food out in a timely manner. My Stoli Blueberry Lemonade cocktail wasn't too strong which was perfect for me. The staff is fairly nice and there's plenty of street parking. Overall, it's a great neighborhood spot to come and grab a decent bite and drink.

    Fast friendly service.Good came out hot and quick which was nice. Plenty of time to go get ice cream next door. But the food itself was pretty mid. The chicken was really pretty oily and for as much seasoning on top could of done with some simple salt. The fries were hot crunchy but equally bland. And the calamari appetizer not only lacked seasoning and was so chewy I couldn't eat it. Not sure I'd return and if I did I'd definitely skip the Mediterranean food and opt for bar food instead

We didn't stay for the DJ, but the atmosphere was already lively and fun while we were there. We ordered margaritas, empanadas, and the octopus. The margaritas were decently strong, had great flavor, and were about double the size of what you typically get at most restaurants (a win in my book)! The empanadas were a 10/10! Absolutely delicious. The dough was perfectly crispy without being too hard, and they were fully stuffed with ground beef and cheese. I'll definitely be thinking about those empanadas for a while! Now, the octopus was my first time ever trying octopus, so I didn't really know what to expect. It came out sizzling and the presentation was great, and there was even a good of amount of shrimp (head on) on the side, which I didn't realize came with the dish.. It also came with a side of rice beans and the choice of corn or flour tortilla. The flavor was absolutely amazing. You could really taste that fire-grilled flavor. For the most part, the texture was good as well. However, the thicker bottom portion didn't seem to be cooked all the way through and had a very fatty texture.
