Service was excellent , our server Ana keeps coming back to check on us which made the experience extra warm and welcoming. The atmosphere inside is so comfy and quiet, making it the perfect spot to catch up with friends. They even have cozy sofas with plush cushions that give the space a warm, homey vibe you can't help but relax the moment you sit down. I'll definitely be back! This is truly a hidden gem in Downtown Brea. Whether you're planning a date night or a family gathering, this place is a must visit. Come check them out!

I recently visited this Olive Pit Grill location in Brea. It was my first time here visiting…read morefriends and this was the place to meet up. It has fresh Mediterranean food and the interior is nicely decorated. It is located in a strip mall with a large free parking garage in the back. Very convenient. I ordered their beef and chicken kabob plate with a side of mushrooms and potatoes. The kabobs were tasty but the beef one was quite dry surprisingly. The chicken kabob in fact was quite tasty. The mushrooms and potatoes were cold and over salted. My friend ordered their lamb burger (medium rare) with a side of salad. Unfortunately the burger was well done and didn't taste as good. The side salad portion was good and you can tell it was made fresh. As for the service it was quite interewsting. While we were looking over the menu several different staff memebers asked if we were ready to order. Let me just say that this place was half empty and I can tell they were antzy to our order started. As for the rest of the meal , our waitress took forever to refill our beverages which was diet coke and ice team. Mixed review on service. Overall, I would give this place another chance and order another item to try.

Excellent experience, including both food and service!…read more We felt very taken care of by the servers who happily answered all of our questions about the menu, made great suggestions, continually filled our water without asking, and did not rush us out. The menu boasts a variety of delicious sounding options and everything we ordered was delicious, flavorful, and made very well. They even happily substituted pita for cucumbers. FOOD *Foul: although it just looked like refried beans, the flavor was excellent with heavy, but not overpowering, garlic. It was an excellent addition to add to the plates and ave as another dip *Hummus: deliciously creamy and smooth flavor *Lamb Kebab (w/ Beet Salad): lamb had great flavor and was cooked really well. Great portion of beet salad. *Salmon plate (w/ Mediterranean salad): salmon was excellent and cooked well! Generous portion. I would absolutely be back and absolutely order many more options. Would recommend!

I came here on a Tuesday night for dinner and there was no wait. The indoor seating area is not…read morevery big but they do have a larger outdoor seating area. It was a bit windy outside so we chose to sit inside. We ordered the following dishes: Beef kabob $22 Chicken kabob $20 Kefta kabob $21 Sea Bass $25 Hummus with chicken shawarma $21 All of the entrees come with choice of one side. For the price of the meals, I think they should serve a little bit more pita bread. Each entree only comes with two small pieces of pita bread. However, the rice was a generous portion. My friend wanted to order a wrap but was informed that the pita pockets and wraps on the menu are served only until 3pm. My friend was very disappointed. I think the restaurant should serve those items all day long. Why stop serving those items after 3pm? Overall, we all liked our food. The restaurant was nice and clean. Service was quick and efficient. I would come back to try other dishes.

Bottom Line Up Front: If you like Greek food but don't want…read moreto pay big bucks at an traditional sit-down restaurant, Apola can be your yummy, budget-friendly alternative. The Food: Let me start by saying this is clearly an American take on Greek food, so if you're looking for super authentic food, look elsewhere. But if you're OK with a fusion, Apola will satisfy your Mediterranean craving. There are gyros (pita wraps), bowls, combo plates, and burritos (see, there's that American take I was talking about). All of them range in quality from average to really good. Though I've been here several times, I'll focus on my last visit when we got "the Works" pita wrap and a Greek salad bowl. For the Works, it comes with all the fixings, your choice of protein, and fries stuffed inside (yes, inside, not as a side). I chose beef-and-lamb gyro meat, which came in a huge portion. (Pro Tip: I pulled the fries out and got a "free" side. Of course , there's not a lot of fries, but enough to satisfy my fried food craving.) The gyro was big and tasty. For the Greek salad bowl, we also got beef-and-lamb gyro meat. Once again, they hooked it up with the quantity. Nice! The ingredients (tomatoes, cucumber, feta, etc) were all fresh and seasoned nicely. Side note: I do find it odd that they call this dish a salad bowl when it comes in a rectangular plastic tray. But semantics aside, it was quite good. I also ordered a fountain drink and got a Coke. It was nice a crisp with a lot of carbonation. Just the way I like it. It's not as good as the exclusive Coke blend at McDonald's, but was a close second. I have had some pretty watered down Cokes at other places in recent years. The Service: There were two young gentlemen working the last time I visited, and they were both friendly and knowledgeable. They even brought our meals to our table, which was a nice touch for a fast food establishment. The Setting: It's located inside the recently revamped Yorba Linda Downtown, which has revitalized the area and made it a pleasant place to hang out. Unfortunately, on weekends, it's hard to find parking sometimes. Fortunately we came on a weekday and got parking nearby. Inside, Apola is clean and tidy with roughly enough tables and chairs for a variety of party sizes. The Conclusion: Apola offers good Mediterranean-inspired food for a reasonable price (compared to other restaurants these days) -- just don't expect it to be 100% authentic Greek food. It's not perfect and not super cheap, but with the right expectations set, I plan to return on semi-regular basis.

Pita Hot has been around a long time. Tucked inside of a mini-plaza on Chapman in Fullerton, Pita…read moreHot has long been surrounded by Fullerton food staples such as Huntington Ramen, Roll & Grill, and Curry Hut. But where Pita Hot sets itself apart from those places is the community. When you walk in, you're greeted with smiles, a question about how your day is, and if you've been there a few times, a quick "how's the wife and kids?" Although some people may see the price tags and wince, they do not skimp on portions. They will fill your plate to the absolute brim, give you one huge pita, and send you on your way. The flavors on the food are nothing to scoff at either. The hummus, tabbouleh, and beef skewer are absolute hits. Flavorful bites with the perfect amount of balance between the acidity of the tabbouleh, the light and rich hummus, and the meatiness of the beef. The shrimp skewer is tasty as well but not something I think I'd get again. The rice pairs well with everything, and as I've mentioned before, the humongous pita they give you is delicious as well. A three skewer plate is enough for two people! All in all, Pita Hot has been around this long for a reason. Their business model and recipes are tried and true. Overall, 9/10.

It would add more character to the space and create a stronger sense of place.

I ordered a gyro, and I was disappointed by the portion size, it was noticeably very small for what you pay. Additionally, the pita bread clearly tasted prepackaged rather than made fresh, which really takes away from the overall quality you expect from a Greek spot. It works in a pinch if you need a quick pickup meal, but between the small portions and the pre-made pita, it was a pretty average experience overall.
