Our Guestbook
“ The Olive Tree continues to be one of my favorite spots in the city for the last 13 years. The atmosphere is welcoming and the food outstanding. I really appreciate the bartender Carly's creativity when making non-alcoholic drinks, as I am 5 years sober. Highly recommend 10/10. ”
“ Food was very tasty. We ordered the middle Eastern plate that had baba and hummus and tabouli and a salad with cucumbers and tomatoes. We ordered it with 2 chicken kebabs and a small side dish of vegetables. Service by Giselle was very professional and lovely. ”
“ This is my second time coming here . First time I came here was for for drinks. This time around myself and Fiancé came here for dinner prior to attending a comedy show . I had the steak and fries, steak was good; I just wish it came with a sauce. my Fiancé got the chicken kabab platter, which I loved . I love the fact that they didn't rush you so we were able to stay there until the start of our comedy show ; which started at 12am. ”
“ This place is really sexy and they have a comedy cellar. Olivia was our server, and she was super sweet. Thanks for the service, girl!!!!! My friend took me after work and I was like a cafe lol but I was definitely shocked about the place. The stain glasses are beautiful The tables you can use chalk to write and draw on, so fun. Now food, my friend, so hmmmm, I wanted buffalo wings but got cauliflower. lol, I didn't enjoy that like I thought the falafel was really good. The combo of the plate was on point. The truffle fries were my favorite hands down. They also play some amazing tunes so that had me feeling myself ”

“ I had a great time here. The sangria was great and my food was great. The waiter was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. We ate outside and it was awesome. It rained but we didn't get wet because the outside eating are is rainproof. I loved the atmosphere. Right downstairs in the basement they have a comedy bar which was pretty cool. ”
“ Excellent meal here, we had beer and coffee that were good. The Chicken Kabab platter had all food nicely charred, with some Indian spiced white sauce. Chicken was cooked perfectly. The white rice was plain but good. Decor inside is very classy with dim lighting. Lots of brown. Service was good, getting us everything we needed. ”
