We typically always tend to go there for my in-laws birthdays because they are so close together. We love Mediterranean food and this place really has very good food. They offer different sizes and selections of plates which is a great fit for all of us because we can share or we can get something small if we know we aren't going to finish it or get something larger and take it home to eat again later. The food is always fantastic. I've never had any real issues with it. It's one of my favorite places to go. It's always consistently delicious

Stopped by at the recommendation of a friend who said & I quote “If it was going to die tomorrow and can eat at only one more place Olive Pit would be the spot”. I assumed I was gonna be in for a treat when I took him up on it. I was able to catch them before the 5pm happy hour stopped and snatched up some tasty hummus dip trays, lamb meatballs & some Bomb-Diggity Feta fries! I topped it off with a great glass of red wine and a killer lamb burger which I asked for medium rare. In hind site I should have asked for medium as lamb cooks a bit differently then beef but that was on me. That burger was amazing, blue cheese spread, fig jam, caramelized onions, lettuce & tomato and a soft bun……. Uh, you had me at hello. I added in the sautéd mushroom side and another one in the books. That’s a wrap!

I suggest everything.Parking is easy, just park in the parking structure and the staff is very nice. All around awesome experience when I come here. Been 2 times already and looking forward to a lot more!!

We went here for a friend's B/D lunch. It's a good thing we were there early, it got very busy as the middle of the day moved along. I had a traditional Gyro with Lamb (it's not on the menu, just ask for it) and my husband had a grilled chicken sandwich. They were both delicious. The olive dip was fantastic also. We will have to go back to taste more.

If you're a custard lover, order the dessert when you place your food order. It takes 30+minutes to prepare. Or just order the baklava ice cream! Delicious mix of Mediterranean foods, fresh bread (not reheated stale stuff) perfectly seasoned lamb kabobs (one is about 4oz, so I ordered two) and tabouli that I could pretend I made.

Wow! I had never been here before. I had dinner with a friend and the food was delicious! Everything tasted fresh and loaded with amazing flavors! The Basmati Rice was fluffy and delicious. I had the chicken kabob with Basmati Rice and grilled veggies. I look forward to going back, again, soon!
You guys SUCK! We sat and waited for 20 minutes and no one even spoke to us. A table of 4 sat down 10 minutes after we did and they were served promptly. We got up and left.

Pretty decent, I suppose. Food Not as good as the H.B. location, less in quantity. Especially with salads. But, they try, and take constructive criticism in stride.A different atmosphere than the other location as well, for sure. More of a 'luxury' look and feel to the venue, instead of a laid back, inviting, easy going, cool atmosphere of down-south. Thanks anyway.

This is the second Olive Pit I have visited. Big outdoor seating area with patio heaterw in he scenic Brea Downtown. The portions were bigger here, flavors were excellent, and service was fast! Good value on the happy hour menu from 2:00pk to 5:00pm.
