Great food with a quiet clean atmosphere. So many options and they are all good and authentic tasting. A great lunch spot when downtown, and the prices and very reasonable. You won't be disappointed!
Most underrated Greek restaurant in Columbia food is awesome service is great more people should go here!!!!!!!

Green Olive is always out of something. Today I and others ordered ice tea. Was fresh but had a few melted cubes on top. When I asked for a cup of ice I was told the manager said no due to slow ice machine. 🤷🏼♀️ Warm yea in SC.

Great salad. Their humus is so so tasty. Quick service but takes a while to pay. Close to everything. Would return! Get the flat bread. So hot and fresh.

Downtown, close to the statehouse with Turkish style food. My wife had the Chicken Tips on rice with vegetables and I being cautious tried the Gyro wrap. Both were excellent. The Gyro wrap was a mix of beef and lamb and the meat was very soft and moist with a great taste. I will visit again just for that Gyro wrap.

Besides the Greek salad being a little too small I really like this place. They have great options for vegetarians.

Had a friend tell me about the Green Olive, never been so tried it out on a date night. Not impressed at all!!! It was cute upon entrance, was seated quickly and that was it. I ordered calamari and it looked like onion rings and not good ones. There was no taste and not even appeal to them. Sent them back immediately! I also ordered chicken parmesan as I'm on a quest for the Best Chicken Parm in the city!!! Anyone know a place, let me know!!! It also was low on the look and taste. Not sure how the chicken was prepared, but I don't think it was even fried. I didn't want to send that back, but left most on the plate. Hubby ordered greek salad and chicken soup with coleslaw and a side of fries. The soup and fries were the best items on our table. Will not be eating there again.

I am amazed how average my experience was. Food was satisfying, but not anything special. Service was adequate, but far from exemplary. Atmosphere was forgettable, yet comfortable. After my first experience, I likely won't revisit for a while, but I still left happy and full.

Our server was young, polite, but also very inexperienced. It took about 45 minutes to get a group of 20 people split up into 10 bills of 2 persons each. The food is great. I just wish they'd get the service improved and continue to be around for years to come.

Came here on a Thursday night, somewhat crowded when we were arrived but cleared out pretty quickly after we were seated. Our server, Ariana, was struggling with 3, then 2, tables. After we ordered an app, it took her 15 minutes to return to us, even after I told her we were ready to order. She went to other tables multiple times and seemed to be actively avoiding us. Our drinks were unfilled for ten minutes at a time. We told her we were seeing a show after this and kind of in a hurry, yet it still took our food over an hour to arrive. I came here because of the good reviews and the food is in fact not bad, but when the service sucks this bad and it takes over an hour to get food when we were all quite hungry ensures we will not be back. There were two tables in the whole restaurant for a majority of our time here. Complete insanity.
