Excellent way to cap an evening after the Comedy Cellar. Great food, nice atmosphere, just a cool place overall!

Caroline

It is a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by. We were on holiday from the UK and it was a nice little extra that we found in the beautiful town of Laurel .

Awesome live music on a Monday night. Perfect way to start a late night show in the comedy cellar.

I was looking for a restaurant that had a neighborhood vibe, good food, reasonable prices and great service. The Olive Tree Cafe met all of these requirements!

Logan

The food and service was great. My only issue was we were seated near the front door which squeaked every time (constantly) the door opened.

Had been here before and gave top rating...we ate before going to a show. The food this time was okay. The Greek salad —- we've had better for the $17 price. Oh, speaking of price, what you see on the website via Open Table was not the same on the restaurant menu that showed much higher food prices... and we all know how fast and easy it is to update a website!

The staff is so nice and they have the best chicken cutlet in the city. All of the food is good here. Thanks!

You’ve got to try the wings—they’re hands down the best in town! I’m not sure what sauce they use, but it’s incredibly tasty. Every time, the wings are cooked to perfection. Honestly, most of the menu items are fantastic, so you can’t go wrong with anything. A fun bonus is that they give you chalk to draw on the tables, and we always end up playing a few games of hangman—such a great addition!

Absolutely fabulous experience! The service was impeccable, and the food was simply perfect—every dish was bursting with flavor. A very nice touch was the classic Charlie Chaplin movies playing in the background, which added a charming, nostalgic atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique dining experience!

The place I keep coming back to whenever I swing by NYC, after having moved out more than for 20 years ago. Love the variety of food options (especially the Middle Eastern platter), the ambience (exquisite lighting, chalk on slate tables, gentle music), Charlie Chaplin’s silent movies (this time “Modern Times”)… a place where time stands still; truly special!
