About every month or so I along with 3 friends find a different restaurant to go to. This month was Olive and Lamb. Awesome💚❣️💚 Wow❣️💚 Our waitress, Macey was patient with us as we were busy catching up❣️❣️ Love the menu that had symbols to show dietary issues💚 When my meal came I know I said Awesome or Wow💚💚 loudly. I really enjoyed my chicken sandwich and fries. My friends enjoyed their meals also. We all really enjoyed ourselves. One of us was the instructor at HTC in Greenhouse and Horticulture and the other 3 of us were students. We all admired the wall hangings on the back wall of plants, moss etc. The vase on the table we were trying to decide what seedhead it was, we did not agree but it was fun to look at and the texture was soft. I asked our waitress if it was found in a garden nearby. She said she thought the owner bought them somewhere. The food, atmosphere and Macey gave us a relaxed time to talk and enjoy every thing around us. 💚💚💚💚💚 I would give you 5 stars but I can't find an emoji💚

Kimia was our servers and she was amazing! The food was great, as usual. If your looking for a bite of Iranian food, this is the place to go.

Loved it, we are from out of town but it was lovely. The falafel pita and baklava was delicious.
Kimia was very nice.

This is serious comfort food! Kimia is a lovely host and takes very good care of us. We love this menu, and our favorite highlights include the roasted eggplant, spanikopita, and OMG the honey cake! Face-meltingly good.

Really great! Service was quick and the food was really great. The dining area is fairly small but with a cozy and warm atmosphere, it's a lovely experience. I will absolutely be going back.

Olive & Lamb has always been a family favorite mostly because the service, food and atmosphere is top tier but today my service was less than stellar! I’ve never been served by this particular young lady but I will say this based on her service I will no longer patronize this business!
When you blatantly treat me different from all your other customers that don’t look anything like me I take offense. She didn’t greet me before taking my order, and appeared annoyed when I greeted her, she never checked on me after bringing me my meal, I watched her check on every customer except me. Not until I was done with my dinner and me sitting in a manner that claimed her attention did she come to my table. She was snarky when I asked for sauce to go making a point to correct my punctuation I will keep my hard earned money before I let anyone disrespect me,
One bad apple spoils the bunch!

Lost my order. Burned food. Didn't replace. Best they would do is 10% off. NO MANAGER ONLY DUTY!

The space is beautiful, the food is strange to me but I eat it very deliciously.

I stopped by *Olive and Lamb* the other night, craving some good Mediterranean food, and the experience was almost perfect. The service was top-notch—our waitress was incredibly friendly and professional, making us feel right at home. I ordered the twin kebab with brown rice, and while the presentation was spot on, something about the marination wasn’t quite right. The meat had this odd flavor that I couldn’t quite place, which was disappointing because everything else was so good. The brown rice was perfectly fluffy, and the Greek salad was fresh and delicious. Overall, it was a solid meal, but I couldn’t help thinking they need to work on the kebab marination to really nail it. Four stars for now, but with a little tweak in the kitchen, it could easily be five.
