We came here yesterday for a birthday dinner group of 7 and it was great. All the food was tasty and we enjoyed everything. Including our server she was great. my only downside honestly was the fact that she didn’t tell us gratitude was added. My father-in-law didn’t realize and ended up tipping her almost 50% he should’ve taken a better look at the bill, but we were sitting outside and had gotten dark other than that no complaints
Food options I would recommend
Buffalo Ranch wings
the hanger steak
The pork chop
And the short rib gnocchi

Food was very bland and oily. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was nice but not clean. The window blinds were covered in dust as well as the lights and the booth was stained. It was our first and last time eating here. It hurts to pay a couple hundred dollars on food that was very unsatisfying.

Last evening, my husband, our youngest, and I dined at Smash Olive. Recent dining experiences at other establishments had been consistently disappointing, leading us to reconsider exploring new restaurants. However, Smash Olive has successfully altered our perspective.

Our experience was exceptional, earning a perfect score for both service and cuisine. We selected the ribeye, short rib, and a children's spaghetti and meatball, complemented by a cucumber cocktail, beers, and a kids Shirley Temple. Each dish left us craving more. The ribeye was expertly seasoned, with the rosemary offering a delightful flavor profile. The short ribs were exceptionally tender, seemingly melting in your mouth. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals, to the point of completely finishing our plates. The desserts, including the cheesecake, tiramisu, and vanilla gelato, provided a sweet and flavorful conclusion to our dining experience.

We will be going you all again for our next dining experience, thank you so much for an outstanding and delicious evening!!

Our wait staff Gizelle did a very good job in spite of being the only available wait staff for several tables.

Sooo yummy!! Unique dishes and cocktails. Such a cute cozy restaurant. It was my first time there and I would be back! I forget my servers name but he took care of us and did great even though he just started. All the staff was consistently filling our waters and checking on us. Great place!

We enjoyed a wonder dinner with exceptional service. I took off one star as apps and mains came out a little too fast.

Thank you to the staff at the Smashed Olive, especially Nayeli, for making my sisters 70th birthday so special! The grilled octopus is a must have appetizer and their perfectly cooked ribeye steaks are unbelievable!

Service is great, food... not so much :( I'm from north jersey and this restaurant is a disgrace to Jersey food. If you want good food, come up north PLEASE! Warren county desperately needs new restaurants.

Our family has been here twice and we have had a great experience both times. They have special seasonal cocktails, I had some sort of lavender lemonade cocktail which was so good! Everyone was happy with their meals and the service was excellent. We will be back!
