We ordered several appetizers, (not shown) lamb chops, and a bunch of kebabs. We also ordered a couple of wraps (my least favorite). The food quality was excellent. Good portions, especially if you're gonna get a salad and some vegetables. Proteins are consistently good and I would recommend anyone coming back. Average dish is somewhere between $25-$30 each. Appetizers are around $16-$18. I didn't get a photo of all of our food, unfortunately, but nonetheless, I enjoy this place. It is always fresh and welcoming. $275 for about 7 people including tip.

A very refreshing meal!…read more We were the first customers in the door on Mother's Day, so there was no wait and food came out pretty quick. We ordered Feta Fries for an appetizer - they were perfectly seasoned and are a wonderful twist to just plain fries. For an entree I ordered a beef and lamb kabob with rice and potatoes. The kabobs are always good, but I personally am a huge fan of their potatoes - so fluffy and lemony! I finished with Tiramisu! It was the cherry on top to a perfect meal. Their mascarpone was fluffier than I'm used to (in a good way).... maybe they whipped it or something, anyways it was delicious! Our waitress, Izzy, was very attentive and super welcoming. Checked in on us frequently without suffocating us - the perfect amount of attention. Olive Pit has both indoor and outdoor seating - they do allow pets for outdoor seating I believe. It looks like they can probably fit around 50 guest (give or take), so I recommend a reservation.if possible. Ambiance was appropriate for Mediterranean style food. Love it! I'll definitely be coming back, thank you guys for the experience! I'll see yall there soon!

Parking: There is ample parking since this restaurant is located in a shopping center. We parked in the front by the Trader Joes, but to be closer to the restaurant there is additional parking in the back. Food: Everyone enjoyed their food including the starters we got. The bacon wrapped dates were my partners favorite. I really enjoyed the artichoke and mushroom chicken- it had great flavor while still feeling healthy. Gluten Free Options: This is a great spot for gluten free food! The menu is clearly marked and from a quick glance has around 16 gf options available, they have gluten free buns, and gluten free pasta available. They also have two gluten free desserts- whats not to love! Vibe: This seems like a local spot. Being tucked in a shopping center and right next to a housing track, I could definitely imagine people walk over for dinner. There are both indoor and outdoor seating options. Overall, we had a great time at Red Table and will likely be back in the near future. It was convenient to make a reservation, they have great gf options, and good service. Wins all around.

Flavorful is good.. owner is kind of bipolar... I didn't say anything bad, wanted to eat food right when I got it, if I was a girl or a Persian person.. sure.. he goes.. this spot is for the next customers .. no customer for the next 10 minutes. And ...he wanted me to take it outside. Lame!!! I really think hes against people with tattoos. But what... íts 2026.. At first thought he was racist with an Asian guy.. nahh.. told him took a big a U-turn for this place. Wtf.. after kayaking nearby.. and I regret it. It says Italian.. but more like Mediterranean... and i wanted to be proud of this place as im excited they're opening another location next door.. I think it's because customers like me got tattoos.. and he was weird with it ...but also.. I graduated and got kids like him and he acts crazy because a person looks young .. wow.: but no questions asked, No questions to be curious . none! Spent 25$.. just to eat outside .. while it was not busy inside. I'm sorry maybe I came at a wrong time; but that was rude af!! I almost didn't want to eat and ask for my money back! Do not want one star as the staff deserves these two, however íts a Tuesday not a Monday, cheer up!!

The brunch is also…read moreexcellent, and have had a number of times We wanted to start with the Hamachi Collar, but they were out (they seem to always be out of it on Sundays, but I understand). Too bad it a great dish. So we were torn between the crab fritters or calamari. Both are excellent. We started with the crab fritters (forgot the picture). They are very good and the apple slaw is refreshing For our mains, my wife had the lobster burrito. Good size, good price, great taste. She took half home I had the lobster omelette. I subbed out the potato (medical reasons limit carbs) for a side salad (2 dollar up charge). Omelette is full of lobster and very filling. Only complaints don't take away from the great food and friendly service. I wish they would still have the collar on Sundays, but it is a limited product and it is the end of the week. Once the weather gets cold I would love coffee with brunch (boozy or not) We will continue to drive an hour for Calico

I noticed they updated the recipe for the Berry Bonanza smoothie to include dates and flax seeds. Honestly, it's such a fantastic upgrade. Berries can be hit-or-miss with how sour they are depending on the season, but the dates add the perfect amount of natural, whole-food sweetness to balance it out without needing added syrups. Plus, the flax adds a great nutritional boost. Love that they are constantly improving their menu. The staff here are very friendly, too. Highly recommend!

I'm really impressed with the overall quality of the seafood and I always ALWAYS enjoy watching a chef butcher entire slabs of fish. We wanted to order one of everything but we settled for the chefs crudo, the ahi tostada and some fish tacos. Let's dive in. Wink wink. The chefs crudo was the most delicious yellowtail I've ever had. Very lightly seasoned with pomegranate seeds and a sweet sauce with raw Fresno chilis and it was bangin!!!!!! The fish literally melted in my mouth and it was the cleanest freshest fish goodness I've had in a minute. Spot on, could eat four of these. Fish tacos were freshly grilled mahi mahi and it was massive flakey chunks of delicious and succulent fish. The tortilla was freshly grilled mahi and nice. The garnish of cabbage and pico hit nice. Tomatillo sauce was delish as well and added that nice acidic pop. Well done. The tostada of ahi was just stupid good. Super fresh chunks of ahi with just the right amount of sauce. Loved it and I could eat four of these too! We actually came for the collars but missed out this time. If you're feeling adventurous and getting a lil funky with your palate. Try fish collars at a fresh seafood restaurant like this. It's such an incredible experience and will change your view of fish parts for life. Service was exceptional. Our waitress was kind and helpful, we asked some questions and she went right to the kitchen to double check. Love that. This was such a tremendous dining experience and the vibes are so dope and chill. I love this place and if we move here it will be our regular shop for all things seafood. Annnnddddd they have a burger on the menu that sounds divine. Someday. Thank you for such a wonderful dinner

I just recently started eating Mediterranean food so I still don't really know what to order, but the guy helping us was awesome and helped me figure out what to get. I got the gyro plate with sautéed veggies and falafel. The food was really good, but I especially liked the sautéed veggies. He also brought us like three different sauces to try and every single one was bomb. My fiancée got the chicken and hummus plate and really liked hers too. They also have a great drink selection with Coke products and a bunch of different canned sparkling waters. Overall, really good food and incredible service. The guy helping us definitely made the experience even better. We'll be back!

Service: Quick and friendly, there were folk in front of me, but they were a well oiled machine and I doubt any of us waited five minutes, and we all walked out with lots of food. Ambiance: A nice clean seating area with an order counter and open kitchen area in the back. Simple but effective, the place was clean and welcoming, and the overall vibe was good. I'll certainly return, and I hope to see you there. :)
