    The name says it all. I mean seriously who likes smashed olives. We came on a Saturday night with no reservation we opted to sit at the bar after being offered a table in a busy/tight walkway next to the kitchen and bathrooms. They bring you smashed olives and warm bread for a starter, I do not like olives so I didn't eat it. I asked the bartender for a drink recommendation that was not sweet and went with the white linen. It took about 15 minutes for the cocktails to arrive and I was confused when I got mine because it was purpose and very sweet but because it took so long I didn't say anything ... it took me the entire two hours we were there to drink it. We chose the whipped ricotta for the starter and I was so confused when it came out it was ice cold. The bread was cold the honey was barely there and honestly it was unbearable. It felt like an eternity for our food to come out I went with the short rib and my friend got the shrimp linguini. When my plate arrived I instantly knew it wasn't going to be good the short rib was in a pool of gravy and I saw not a trace of salt or pepper. My first bite was so bland I could have cried. Nothing had seasoning the meat, potatoes or broccoli. I was starving but I sent it back. The bartender and the someone else offered the menu to order something else but after the drink and the starter I was over it. When the bill came and I looked at it I was more disappointed I was given the wrong the drink, it was the lychee. Unfortunately, I would not visit the smashed olive again.

    Fantastic meal! Service was a bit slow starting out it was a Saturday night and they were busy but the meal made up for it. Everything we got was delicious and perfect. Whipped feta appetizer is 10/10. Desserts were homemade and so good! Perfect place for a girls night out we got sat in the nice big corner booth and we loved it. Very nice

    Sandwich was too good to pause and take a pic, but here's my wine!

    Went to the Smashed Olive for the first time for a quick bite on a Wednesday afternoon. Nice outdoor seating, but was grateful to be eating inside on that super hot day! Interior is well designed and very classy. I ordered a chicken sandwich, which was excellent and a generous portion for myself. The bread it was on tasted homemade! My daughter loved her chicken meal as well. I also ordered a glass of the house red wine, which was very good. The waitress, Jess, and the hostess, Sarah, were so incredibly kind and very attentive! They couldn't have been sweeter to my little girl. We loved them! Will absolutely be back again not only for the excellent food but for the superb service.

    Nice place with dark wood interior and an inviting menu. Service at the bar was just OK - bartender was very slow and didn't seem motivated. We have eaten here 3 times now - food is just OK - not worth it for us to come back.

    Smashed burger- not the trending smashed burger that's pressed thin-  just a plain cali burger

    Updated my review to add new food pics. All around just a humble spot for lunch or dinner. Service is always on point and the restaurant has different brews and cozy atmosphere.

    Went here recently for a date night based on the reviews. I wanted to like this place more. The olive tapenade they give is delicious, but everything else was just okay. The service was really slow, might have just been an off night seeing as others really like it. I don't believe the prices reflect the quality of food. Everything was relatively high for what it was. We got the fish tacos for app, eggplant and chicken Murphy for dinner.

We needed some authentic Mexican food for my stepdaughter's quinceañera and 5 Brothers is who I called to cater. Israel helped us plan our menu and delivered a delicious spread of flautas, carnitas, Mexican rice and delicious tamales that went super fast. He provided all the sides and salsas for the flautas and it truly was amazing to work with him and his staff. I didn't get a chance to take pictures since I was so busy - but presentation was perfect! The food was amazing and it was great to work with Israel. I definitely recommend them for your catering needs and dinner or takeout if you want to experience authentic Mexican food. Thanks Izzy!!!

There were only 2 tables occupied and we ordered with the server. He was helpful in answering questions since the menu didn't have explanations or pictures and I was looking for something from another review. Service was swift and food was hot. Unfortunately not good though. I had 3 or 4 bites of my burrito which tasted like used cooking oil. I couldn't bring myself to take it home and I love leftovers! I gave 3 stars as my husband said his tacos were good.
