I will say that we came here again about a week later. Someone informed the restaurant about our awful experience and they said they would make up for it. This time we were seated quickly and, once again, had good service. Our orders were taken in a timely fashion and our food came out relatively quickly. The food also came out correctly this time, which was great. We tried a new appetizer- the sampler platter, which was good. I'll say the dolmedes was not my style but my friends liked it. I decided to try the scallops and pasta- you got a good amount of scallops and they were tasty. I am glad that they were able to remedy our experience after such a terrible time the previous week. Our server was attentive and I rarely had to ask for a drink refill (when the previous time I was constantly asking for a refill).

I've lived about 20 minutes from the Olive Tree for 25 years and I'm embarrassed to say that this was my first time eating there. I met a few friends for lunch on a weekday. They started us off with a large plate of garlic bread (yum). I got the Pasta Trio and it was amazing! All of my friends enjoyed their meals as well. The restaurant is very charming with the exposed brick walls. The staff was very friendly and attentive! We will definitely be back.

Scallop pasta and calamari

Service was amazing very attentive and informative. I ordered scallop pasta it was very bland but the calamari was very satisfying.

Cucumber martini - a bit too sweet for me

My family and I visit Olive Tree just about every time we've traveled to Atlanta to see our family. They have a huge menu with reasonable prices, and their food is very good. The downtown Hiram location is more charming than the Lithia Springs location. They don't take reservations, but they can usually seat six of us in the back room without too long of a wait. I love that they offer lighter choices for carb-conscious diners. I've tried their grilled scallops over spinach, shrimp skewers with artichokes and broccoli, and salmon over spinach. All are good, but I lean towards the shrimp most of the time because the broccoli and artichokes are so good! All of their meals come with warm garlic rolls and a house salad (which you can upgrade for a small upcharge). My husband loves their spaghetti with meat sauce and meatballs (as good as mine!), but he also occasionally gets their manicotti. My family members have tried a variety of dishes, like the shrimp scampi, chicken parmesan, veal piccata, and fettuccini alfredo, and all have been good. Their cocktails are very reasonably priced (about $8 each), but I'm not a fan because they are just too sweet. Their house wines are decent, however. You really can't beat Olive Tree's winning combination of food, prices, and service! We'll definitely be back!

The Olive Tree is like a little taste of old Italy hidden in Old Town Hiram. The restaurant has a beautiful garden on the side which reminds you of the nooks of New Orleans. Upon entry its old world Italian and the hostesses were welcoming and kind. The restaurant was cozy and our server was very nice. They have this amazing bread that tastes similar to garlic knots in bread form. My husband and I both had the ziti and my daughter had the Alfredo. My husband and I got the house salad, we were disappointed not one olive or crouton, maybe we are spoiled. My daughter had the Caesar salad with lots of croutons that she didn't offer to share. I ordered my ziti with light sauce and extra cheese. I got extra cheese, ricotta amazingness and the same amount of sauce. Having reached my mid 40's tomato sauce is not my friend. So I was rather disappointed, my husband order the ziti regular and he said it was pretty good. I ate three bites and could not eat anymore. My Babygirl had the Alfredo and she said it tastes watered down and it was not very good. The sauce had no seasoning and even the added Parmesan cheese didn't help. I am not sure if we will be returning for ziti, maybe we will try something else.

Fried calamari

A smidgen over three stars, but I'll be magnanimous and make it four. Hiram GA has a plethora of chain restaurants. The Olive Tree has the vibe of an independent restaurant, but it's part of a small and popular network. Having sampled several dishes over the years, T and I stick to the Greek side of the menu. Locals seem to prefer their Italian entrees, but me, well...... Greek it is! We typically order fried calamari to top off the salads which come with our meals. We always get a bottle of wine, this time the house chardonnay. (To their credit, Olive Tree stocks a number of bottles for less than $30.) The gyro plate, my usual choice, has a generous portion of nicely seasoned meat, enough for two meals. I substituted fries for what they call Greek potatoes (which I find blah.) T ordered the Greek combo plate. I thought the pastitsio and moussaka were all right but -- sorry -- not the best I've had. We came tonight because my elderly mom lives locally and had a hankering for their plaki, a flaky white fish. Unfortunately, the dish proved unpopular and is off the menu. So she went with grilled salmon. Now look at my photo. Compare it to the other entrees. At $20, the Olive Tree should be ashamed of themselves. Normally plated with a vegetable medley (which my mother didn't want) she asked for something else. Three sad wedges of potato. Surely they could've thrown in another vegetable: broccoli, zucchini ... something! The fish was under-seasoned, but indeed cooked medium as my mother requested. The Olive Tree employs a nice young staff. Gabi, our server, is no exception: friendly, on-the-ball and an asset to her employer. In summation, we had a nice evening out. Other than the fish -- which really should be re-thought -- our meals were fine, and we were happy.

Spoiled moldy cheese.

We stopped in yesterday while on vacation in GA. Not having checked yelp beforehand we were blown…read moreaway by the great food and service (yes, YOU, Jonathen!) We had gyros, of course, but they were different than ones at other Greek restaurants we've been to. The meat had a crispy edge to it like the end cut of prime rib, but was juicy on the other side. So good! The veggies were fresh and tomatoes were red, not pink. We had Avgolemono soup, delicious. Hey...DO NOT skip on the baklava. Omgosh it's served warm with extra honey drizzled over. We've never had it this way and we'll never eat it any other way now. It's a very large piece. Think of sharing it. Thank you, Jonathen for that suggestion! Take a moment to view their beautiful patio seating area. It's just stunning. If it had been warmer we'd have dined outside.

We had takeout for dinner from It's Greek to Us and it was good…read more Here's what we had (online pickup order): * Baked Lemon Oregano Grecian Chicken with salad ($21.95) - half chicken, oven-roasted; garlic, Greek potatoes, and green beans * Chicken Platter with Greek potatoes ($24.95) - two chargrilled chicken kabobs with salad, pita and tzatziki The food was fresh, flavorful, tasty, and relatively healthy. I'm sure we'll order from here again. This place was in my Yelp bookmarks since around the time this location opened on June 19, 2017. I used to go into the office in Marietta and was hoping to dine in for lunch here, but never made it and then COVID happened. My wife has been a couple times now, though. The restaurant has a corner spot with an outdoor patio near Wellstar Kennestone hospital.
