A very small and charming restaurant. The food was very delicious. If ever I come back to BC, I will definitely come back here. 10/10.

We were staying at the Best Western so tried this restaurant for breakfast, pancakes were hard on outside and raw in the middle. They didn’t even offer us a discount. Not busy should have been a clue.

The restaurant was empty, now I know why.
Only customer in the restaurant for breakfast. The service was terrible and the food was even worse.
Don’t bother wasting your money.

This is a tough review as the food was good and the service was excellent. If you like beer there aren't many options and the options offered are odd. I'm also not a fan of the price. Given the portion size, this place is expensive in my opinion.

Was nice to pop in here after a long day of driving, enjoyed two beer and had great service from the bartender. Was hoping to stay in Cranbrook a little longer but I will be back, and will be heading there again.

Uncommonly delicious. We were staying at the hotel and were intrigued by the menu. So glad we decided to eat here. Hummus was phenomenal and everyone loved their meals. Great drinks and beer too. Yum.

Wow! I had never been here before. I had put off going for a while, figuring a small restaurant in a hotel would not be very good—maybe mediocre at best. But I was so wrong! I was so impressed by this place.

I went for brunch, and the service was great. Our waitress was attentive, bubbly, and quick with refills. I was also very happy with the portion size. Most restaurants give you a huge portion you can almost never finish, or if you do, you feel bloated afterward. That was not the case here. I felt satisfied by the time I finished my meal.

Lastly, the atmosphere was cozy and happy. It was bright, welcoming, and very clean! If you are ever in the mood to try a new brunch place, I highly recommend The Modern Olive. The eggs benedict is amazing!

Tried this restaurant for our anniversary and it did not disappoint! We had the baked hummus, modern donair, souvlaki bowl, and shared a tiramisu jar for dessert. The food was excellent! The venue is a bit tiny, but cozy. Relaxed atmosphere to take in an NHL playoff game on the big TV, but can still hear ourselves talk and have a conversation. We will be back! Next time the flaming saganaki will be the appetizer!

Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is fully wheelchair accessible. Roll straight in from the front doors of the hotel directly into the restaurant across the lobby. All the tables have removable chairs to easily accommodate a wheelchair.

The appetizers were very good, be it a little pricey. We got the hummus, calamari, and steak skewers. The steak skewers were more of a ground beef than a tradition chunked steak.

I got the donair under recommendation. This was not a traditional do air, no option for donair sauce. The steak protein was just the steak skewers. The fries that came with it were comically small. Fit in the palm of your hand. Maybe 20 fries. For the cost of the meal it was quite a let down.

Would be a 2/5 ⭐ but the service and appetizers brought the whole experience up to a 3.

My first time at this restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. I love Greek food and I was not disappointed at all. Had the Greek fries with Tzatziki and the Souvlaki Bowl. Both were fabulous. I’ll definitely be returning soon!
