Food, atmosphere, and staff were all amazing! Everything came out really quickly, and tasted absolutely amazing - cannot recommend the chicken spanakopita enough.
I don’t go to Blue Olive often, but when I do go, the food and service is fantastic.It is a great place to celebrate a Birthday party for up to 15 people. Service was excellent! The staff and owner were super friendly! Everyone really enjoyed their food. They helped me cut and serve the cake. The finale of our dinner, was the birthday plate breaking-OPA! Thank you everything!

Great Greek food and for a great price. The waitress was on top of everything. The feta is amazing, the Chicken Spanikopita was something new to me and the roast potatoes were to die for.
Cozy restaurant with awesome food and service. Jimmy, the owner, is friendly and welcoming. Feels like an authentic restaurant in Greece with the music, decor and family pictures on the wall. Try the dips as appetizers, calamari perfectly cooked and souvlaki dinner, delicious!.

So deeply mediocre. We tried it twice, sure that the first time was an off night given the rather good reviews. Nope, it’s just really not very good. They were also very slow on takeout.

Best Greek food in Halifax! Consistently amazing food whether dining in or takeout. Restaurant is beautifully decorated with a warm cozy atmosphere. Options for vegetarians and carnivores. You won't be disappointed.

Super disappointing. I was sooo excited for this, based on the ratings, but our meal was underwhelming in a few ways…1) The portions are the smallest I’ve ever seen for greek food, which is usually very generous. Even the rice was limited. The chicken souvlaki skewers seemed cut in half compared to normal, about 5 inches long. I wouldn’t mind if the quality was there, but it wasn’t.2) The chicken was definitely pre-packaged, not hand cut or tossed in seasoning. Totally cooked from frozen skewers that didn’t string apart like real chicken. Potatoes were okay, but a bit too lemony, even tangy. Rice had almost zero flavour. Also, the baklava was very odd. Overly-spiced, almost pie-like, with a caved in “filling.”3) On top of that, we never received our sides of tzaziki or greek salad.4) Overpriced, for all of the above. Which again, I wouldn’t mind if the quality was higher. It wasn’t.Do not recommended at all. Sorry, Blue Olive.

Wow! Finally found a Greek restaurant I’d happily return to. Comfortable, cozy spot with excellent food choices. Pikilia Platter for 2. Nice selection for tasting. Shared the grilled lamb. Delightful cocktail selections and wine to accompany dinner.
