My new favorite restaurant!

Finally had dinner at the Olive Tree and can't wait to go back. We enjoyed everything from the fresh made food to the warm atmosphere. The owners were so friendly and the staff so accommodating. Loved the variety and flavor of the appetizers (great eggplant dip) and the Lebanese wine with our delicious dinners (chicken shish kabob, beef shawarma). Going back soon to try some of the other things on the menu.
- Pros: Great food, wine and neighborhood atmosphere
- Cons: None
good food vs. sanitary standards
by selective diner at Citysearch
The food is really great and fresh! The customer service by the owner is wonderful! It became my top restaurant for the west side of town upon my first visit. I looked so forward to going back again.
My next visit was met with some concern. As we waited to sit down (large group), some of the baskets they use to put the pita bread in, fell to the floor. Instead of taking them to the kitchen, they were stacked and placed back with the rest on the counter. When I mentioned it to an employee, she was displeased with me.
I love their food. I want them to stay in business, so I spoke up. She begrudgedly took the baskets back to the kitchen.
As a result, I lost my appetite and my interest in this restaurant. Sanitation is just as important to me as great food. If you love great food and don't mind the sanitation concern, go!
- Pros: great food & customer service
- Cons: sanitary standards & attitude
Vegetrian-friendly entrees and wine win a repeat customer!

The Olive Tree was fantastic! It had a great selection of entrees for vegetarians. The spicy feta and the wine selection alone were worth going back for.
- Pros: wine, vegetarian-friendly entrees
