The Grey Olive is an absolute gem. My family and I frequent here on the weekends. The food is fresh and delicious ….the staff are friendly and welcoming. The space itself is clean, bright and comfortable making it a perfect spot for an early or mid day pick me up. Definitely check it out!!

Our family used to love coming here, among other favourites we also loved the pancakes plate and avocado toast. To my surprise today they no longer have the avocado toast on their menu and no longer have the pancakes as a plate on their menu but offer an add on option of 1 pancake per order for $8.00. A little disappointing.

Disappointed. Came only for chicken and waffles. Advertisements, everywhere even outside. When we waited for our table there could have been notification. There's no fried chicken at this time. Was the fryer broken ? Out of stock ? No information from the waitress who seemed unapologetic. I said this is all I came in for? There's no huge line up. But would have like to have known there was none. Even by the person who sat us. Will it be a longer wait for more ? Nothing.

Their trucker platter with eggs, thick cut bacon, pork and leek sausage, chimichurri, tomato and lemon ricotta pancake and choice of sides is one of their best breakfast options. The whole meal is delicious but the lemon ricotta pancake in particular stands out for being light, fluffy and tasty.
The G.O Brekkie breakfast sandwich is good as well but the sandwich is a bit on the smaller side so I'd recommend paying the difference for the Trucker platter because it's a better value with the amount of food.
They have plenty of drink options like lattes, Thai milk teas and seasonal drinks that are generally tasty and reasonably priced.

The quality was just ok given the price, the fried chicken was a bit dry.

The ladies working here are super nice and accommodating. I got the kitchen sink which is quite good. Seemed unhealthy but then there's a lot of veggies which makes it feel healthy again 😄

My friend and client brought me here for lunch recently and I was very impressed with the food and service quality. I had the chicken and waffles and was delighted with to enjoy two generous boneless chicken breasts with waffles and maple syrup. Absolutely delicious!
Haven’t been here yet. Just wanted to be the 1000th review.

The food was not just unacceptable — it was honnestly rotten. Half of the food ingridients were rotten. They accept to don't charge us after my girlfriend complaim to the manager.
I’m not sure if the owner is even aware of what’s happening in their restaurant, but it’s clear that there is no proper quality control over the food being served.
If the owner is reading this, I truly hope they take this feedback seriously. After leaving my complaint, I looked at other reviews and saw that I’m not the first person to have this kind of experience. That tells me there’s someone in the kitchen who is simply not doing their job properly.
At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were serious hygiene issues, or if they are hiring inexperienced student cooks without proper training.
Of course, it’s their business and their money — but if things continue this way, I don’t see how they’ll avoid losing it all.

It’s a disappointing and very unpleasant experience. My crab cake benny was good but the green salad was horrible. In the photo you see there were many pieces of rotten leaves. The Thai ice tea with coconut milk looks like they were overnight drink. The waitress explained that because they were cold. It doesn’t make any sense to me. I visited Thailand many times and never had it look like someone puked in my tea cup.
When I talked with the waitress about the rotten leaves, they only said that “ oh the kitchen didn’t prepare it well. It’s something unusual. “ they didn’t provide the solution so I told them that I’d like to return the tea and take the salad out of my bill. They didn’t even say sorry.
My bf stopped his food too because we believe this experience is from very unprofessional and inattentive kitchen staff team which also may not prepare his food right.
When I returned back to home, a friend who works in the restaurant told me that, they should take my meal out of the bill. Salad with so much rotten leaves is not something acceptable. Sure there were much more rotten leaves in the bowl.
My bf was very unhappy because he wanted to have a very nice brunch time with me after I recovered from a surgery. He found this place but I guess he didn’t read all the Google review ! I went over the review and saw other ppl’s Thai ice tea with coconut milk, they didn’t look the same as mine. After ordering, never had any staff came to the table to check. So for the first time in my bf’s life , he didn’t tip. I told him that I wouldn’t too.
The price they charge for each dish doesn’t match with their food quality and service.
