I've just recently discovered the Green Olive and I am so amazed !! I ordered the gyro with the lamb and beef and for one the portion size was in abundance ( took me two meals to eat it!!! ) The meat was so tender; the tzatziki, the hummus and the sides that they had of a like a hot avocado (?) were so flavorful !!! I'm definitely a fan !!!
Big fan of Mediterranean food and sadly the Nard only has a couple spots. The others are over priced and bad quality.
The Green Olive is the only place to go locally for quality Mediterranean food. I can honestly say this place compares with a few locations in Santa Barbara.
Definitely a hidden gem!

The food was good. I enjoyed the chicken and shrimp. Staff was kind and the atmosphere was laid back and relaxing.
