It was our first time. We were able to sit right away and get service quickly. Each meal were delicious and delightful. The server was attentive even when juggling her other tables.

Although this restaurant was very crowded and evidently popular, we found it lacking. When arriving we had a table waiting for us, and were given menus. After ordering, we noticed wine bottles on display but our menu had no selections. Appetizer arrived and after finishing, the wait for entrees was rather long. When these finally arrived, one, which was a vegetable skewer turned out to be a row of charred mushrooms, not appealing. The rest of the entrees tasted pretty bland. Our server was very nice and solicitous, but had missed giving us the wine menu. The restaurant looked like was in a formerly French themed space, which is OK but the decor had barely changed to Mediterranean. So, like the rest of the experience , they didn't have it together.

Servers and staff were excellent and food was great. Big portions, everything was fresh and tasty. Plenty of vegetarian options and the hummus was super tasty. Music a bit loud and the room cold until we closed the door to the patio area.

We were surprised just how good the food and the service was here!! The hummus was some of the best we've ever had and every single dish was fresh and flavorful. Our wait staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back here again!!

We had a very enjoyable time. My girlfriend's and I got together after many years. Food was good, abundant, and hot. Staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a little too cold inside, but everything else was great.

An outstanding choice for quality Mediterranean food in Glendale. Our service was friendly and excellent. Parking was convenient in the adjacent garage and the restaurant validated for a good amount of time. A solid performer and glad they survived the COVID pandemic.

Tasteless and terrible food and no dressing for the salad. Apologetic employees and zero concerns about our experience as three adults left our table, paying the full tab with more than half of the food untouched. Don't waste your money at this restaurant.

The chicken kabob is the most tender delicious chicken breast I have ever had at a restaurant! The beef kubideh was dry however. The portions are huge here, so you get your money's worth. However the service was a bit slow....and I did not get my appetizer until well after my meal was delivered. The people delivering the food had no idea who to give the meals to, so it was a bit odd. Enjoyed the meal.

Very pleasant outdoor seating. The menu is familiar favorites but with interesting additions and unexpected ingredients. The Jewel Salad with added falafel was perfect for a hot summer day. Will definitely return to try other menu items.

We were seated and our server was really great, she informed us their grill was out about 30 minutes after we received our drinks!! Honestly, we should have left. How can you serve Mediterranean food and not have a grill. Most of us had our hearts set on grilled meat of some sort. I understand this was something our of the ordinary but it did not make the experience any better.

Kabobs good Rice no salt, no herbs. Dips lacking flavor and salt Falafel dry Potato appetizer a small bowl of diced potatoes More of a side item and tasteless at that. Overall, disappointing for a middle eastern restaurant.

This is an exceptional Mediterranean fare restaurant, suitable for brunch, lunch, and dinner in a lovely, corporate section of Glendale, one of my favorite cities. The menu is extensive and iconic with all the dishes one expects in a Mediterranean place, like hummus, tabouleh, falafel, baklava, lentil soup, etc. As a vegetarian, I do not know how to review the meat dishes but one can have a very satisfying, upscale meal here without any animal products at all, so vegans should consider dining here. The interior has been designed by an expert and is elegant, elevated, and fresh. Dine on the veranda if you can -- it is beautiful decorated and ventilated so you feel as if you are out of doors but protected from any harsh elements. We were there on a beautiful, cool, sunny day and it was perfect. The services is superior and the prices are very modest. This is a gem. I want to thank the owners for their attention to the smallest detail.

Salt and Olive was terrific . . . and a little less than what I wanted. For that, I blame OpenTable for making it look too alluring. I wanted a relaxing, pre-theater dining experience with cocktails and ambience. What I got was quality food at a very fair price, served promptly at tables that turn over like a coffee shop. I had a great Chicken Pesto sandwich; my friend had a wonderful Chicken Kabob. This place would be ideal for lunch, but without the liquor license, this won't be my place for dinner again. But that's just me. If you're looking for healthy, fresh, prompt, quality food at a good price, remember this place. And take good care of the server$ who keep this place spinning!

It was relatively late on a weekday so it was fairly empty and they were breaking down the patio while we were eating so the experience wasn't what I would expect it to be at peak times. Food was excellent and it was a nice space. Overall a good experience and would go back at a more optimal time
