The Olive Tree Mediterranean Grille

The best restaurant in Florida

I eat at Mediterranean places all the time. Lebanon, Jordanian etc.
This place sold me a small, mediocre gyro and I ordered a shawarma.
The best shawarma I had was in Abu Dhabi. I wouldn't return here.

This place perfectly embodies the essence of Mediterranean dining. The meals were outstandingly delicious. The team was incredibly amicable, and everything was served promptly.

This place rocks, authentically well crafted Mediterranean food.

As someone who has grown up in a middle eastern family with plenty of good food, I know I can rely on this place to scratch the itch when I’m craving my grandparents’s cooking! The restaurant isn’t flashy but exactly what I’d expect for the kind of restaurant. The food speaks for itself. It feels familiar. You’ll be doing most of the legwork yourself as you order at the counter but it’s perfect for those that want to spend their lunch hour alone (I’m quite introverted so I love it).

Excellent chicken swarma wrap, though it was messy. My wife had the daily special, Greek salad with fish + drink which she recommends. My daughter had a Gyro. The fries are seasoned well and crunchy.

This is exactly what you would expect from a Mediterranean style. Cuisine, the food was absolutely wonderful. The staff was super friendly and everything came out on time. I didn't have to worry about anything. Brought me back to my nostalgia for when I owned my own Mediterranean style restaurant. And all of the food was spot on. I will definitely be coming back.

There's a definite scale for Mediterranean food. This restaurant was okay but nothing gourmet.
Service was quick. Ordered falafel, stuffed grape leaves, hummus with pita. Also ordered a spinach pie which was not made the traditional way with phyllo dough. It was okay just different.

This place is great for a quick, inexpensive meal near downtown. The food was good enough (no complaints, but wouldn’t necessarily ever crave it). The place was a bit rundown, which negatively affected the atmosphere.

I went to the Olive Tree with a friend, and we decided to have the shawarma and we each ordered 2 sides, so we could try 4 different sides. We received our order, and one of the sides was wrong. We told the server, and the woman running the counter had to the audacity to come and tell us that it wasn’t what we ordered! She was very rude. I’ve never had someone tell me, the customer, that I was wrong and didn’t order what I said I did. Due to the mediocre food (dry chicken) and rude manager, I will never go back.

Good food and friendly staff. We love coming here and we have tried different items on the menu. We are never disappointed. The only knock on this establishment is the limited amount of parking. We sometimes park across the street or down the street. But the food is SO worth it. Enjoy!

Most restaurants are now moving to making the customer order at the counter, I am not a fan of this trend. The reason I am not a fan is, they do half the work and expect a tip in advance. As soon as you order they make you pay and turn the screen so you can choose the tip amount. The food was delicious but could have used some more spices. The servicer just brought the food and we did not see her any more.
