We were warmly welcomed by our lovely waitress, Jill, who made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The dining room was immaculate and beautifully decorated, with fresh multicolored carnations and other blooms adorning crisp, spotless linens--such a thoughtful touch. Every part of the meal was exceptional: a fresh, flavorful salad with delicious dressing, warm bread served with garlic butter, a perfectly prepared shrimp appetizer, and outstanding salmon and filet mignon. Compliments to the chef for such a wonderful dining experience. Even the fireplace added a cozy, inviting glow to the evening. Thank you to the entire team for a truly memorable meal. read more

Food was very good, but our service was even more outstanding. Our server Lauren is a very sweet young lady and was very attentive.

This place has been on my list for years and I'm so glad I finally stumbled into this deceivingly large, hidden gem. John, our server and bartender for the night was lovely and quite the multitasker. We felt welcomed and right at home! He gave us great recommendations and we enjoyed everything ordered. They have specials every night and we took advantage of the .25/wings to start. I tried the chicken gyro which was tasty but needed more tzatziki sauce. My date ordered the vodka pasta with fried chicken and it was delicious!!!! The fried chicken was perfectly cooked and the vodka sauce was mouthwatering. I may have helped him out with a few bites (or five). For dessert we shared a chocolate mousse cake and it was fresh and melt in your mouth. The menu is quite extensive and not badly priced, I can't wait to come back! If you're looking for a low key, affordable place to grab dinner and drinks, add this spot to your list! read more

Good food at reasonable prices. Beet and feta cheese appetizer was delicious. Angus burger very tasty.

My wife's been sick all night and the following day with stomach issues!!! Food had ZERO flavor! The service was so so! The MANAGEMENT team was excellent! Approached us proactively to ensure they would do whatever they can to make our experience better. The atmosphere was amazing! Warm, cozy and comfortable! Linen tablecloths & napkins make the dining experience classy! If only the food make it a memorable dining experience! read more

I had the everything but the bagel salmon it was perfectly cooked !!! The last 2 restaurants we ate at the salmon was very overcooked! The mashed potatoes were wonderfully garlicky! The veggie medley was wonderful and very fresh! My friend had the Tilapia sandwich and loved it. We will be back again, the service was warm and friendly. Apart from being too chilly, the ambiance was very charming!! read more

The Green Olive - Clams in a white wine sauce!!!! Amazing! Sweet and delicious! - American Near Me - Wantage, New Jersey

Food was amazing but took a star off because I ordered medium rare and got medium well. I think this was due to an error by the waitress. About 20 minutes after we ordered she came back and asked if I had ordered medium rare or medium well. Food came out about 5 minutes later. They didn't have a drink menu (or we just didn't get one) but the waitress was not very familiar with the beer they carried. Took another star off for that. The manager was very professional and apologetic (I didn't ask to see the manager lol). They did give my wife a free desert to make it right but even though the steak was overcooked it was still amazing. Chef was great as well as the manager, waitress could use some work. read more

Really lovely place. Cute little town. The host made room for us even though he was fully booked. Much love The plates were all delicious. Good price too! Warm regard to that place! read more

Another amazing evening with my two adult children home from college. Patricia was our server again and the professionalism from her was amazing. The food, was perfection. Thank you. read more

This place has gone downhill so fast since I first came here 6 years ago. Service is so slow and everything is priced as if it's good food. I literally ordered a cheeseburger it was burnt the bun was bigger than the burger itself and stale. Fries also cold and stale. Ended up throwing it away not worth the calories even if I did waste $50 on this garbage. How do you screw up a cheeseburger? read more

Great place, too bad the owner is selling.... good was terrific. Fast service, fresh food great wait staff... read more

If you're in a wheelchair you won't be able to get into the restaurant unless you have some strong people to lift you up the steps. I was kinda disappointed, many other restaurants that do not have ramps keep a portable ramp on hand. read more

Nice place with good food. Walked in with 2 other people around 730 on a sunday. Besides a couple people at the bar, the restaurant was empty. We started off with some nice warm bread. For appetizers we order the grilled octopus which came on a bed of salad. It was delicious. We also ordered the soup, dont remember but think it was a lobster bisque, and it was tasty. For entree, I ordered the rigatoni vodka which was cheesy and tasty. Sister got the NY strip steak with carmelized onions and mushroom which was really good. It was cooked perfectly at medium rare, and was a fairly thick cut of steak with a good amount of fat. Every bite was tender and juicy. We also tried the chicken/steak/shrimp trio entree but it was a bit too salty. All in all, we all enjoyed our meal. Waitress was also nice. read more

Great food, great staff and great locals to boot! Joe the bartender remembers your cocktail & your name & I've been following Dennis the exquisite chef for many years...A special shoutout to Pat who has a fantastic personality & is the hostess with the mostest as well as a waitress! read more

My wife and I were seated for dinner in the dining room and then ignored for over 15 minutes. When my wife attempted to hail the hostess, not our server, she was obviously ignored. We waited another couple minutes and went out to the bar. We had one drink and left. Nobody approached us at the bar to inquire about leaving the dining room. What a disappointing experience. read more

good food, great service, honestly I have yet to have a bad experience. Denn is the chef and so far has done an excellent job serving up so delicious dinners. read more

First of all, Patricia is awesome! The food was fresh, well prepared and delicious! Had the New York strip and it was fantastic. The shrimp bisque soup was also great and even the salad was really fresh and delish. Would highly recommend this place read more

This meal was AMAZING!!! Hannah and Tammy were so personable and sweet. Hannah gave us a bunch of recommendations and told us how the chef makes the mousse in house and it was absolutely amazing!!! The chef is truly phenomenal and talented. We ordered the blackened mahi-mahi and it was cooked to perfection!! The flavors and sauce were spot on and beautifully seasoned! I am very impressed by the quality and flavor of this food and will 100% be back and recommend to friends. Also, the martinis were amazing!! Can't wait to come back. read more

The Green Olive - a glass of coffee with whipped cream - American Near Me - Wantage, New Jersey

My husband and I were on vacation with our kids at the campground now far from here, so we decided to give it a try based on the outstanding food reviews, we were NOT disappointed. The filet was the best filet I've ever had in my life. I almost wish we tried it at the beginning of the trip so that we could visit again! All of the food was amazing. There was a bar and a formal dining area. We like to be less formal so we sat in the bar which was very friendly atmosphere. There is bar or hightop tables. We sat at the hightop and no one seemed to mind that we had our 4 and 5 year olds with us. They even put paw patrol on the tv for us! The service was amazing and the drinks were perfect. This is a hidden gem. The new owner even came out to thank us for supporting his new venture. Wish there was a replica in CT! read more

AWFUL SERVICE. Not once but twice did the service absolutely suck and disappoint. Gave it a second shot and the second time around was worst than the first. I understand management is changing hands so perhaps the servers just gave up on caring about being decent people? Also, menu is not posted here or on their website. I tried to order one time to avoid the service and was told the selections I wanted to order were not available and I'd need to look at their facebook page. I dont have social media... luckily, a family member did. However, when we managed to find a menu photo, all of them were specials which changed weekly so there was no knowing whether I'd get what I was looking at, either. Sadly, I gave up on this place. read more

Let me start off off by saying that staff is friendly and it has a relaxing vibe. My review will be solely based on cuisine. When I first googled Greek restaurant, this was the first place to pop up as its 6 mins from my home . Upon dining at the restaurant I will say that most of the cuisine is "Greek inspired" or Italian/Greek fusion ? Ingredients were fresh and good presentation was good, but this is NOT Greek . Perhaps Greek/Italian American bar food. If I wanted hamburgers I would just go to McDonald's .. too many pasta/Italian dishes ... would I go back? Sure if they revamp that menus as most do the dishes were "seasonal" or not available... 2/5 stars for me read more

I was very optimistic about this place after reading the reviews-but it was a definite fail as far as the food is concerned. We came in on a Sunday night for dinner ,and it wasn't too busy. The bartender served us and she was very nice and pleasant,no problems there. The problems were with the food. For a Greek place-the gyro was absolutely awful. Instead of thinly sliced lamb, they stuffed it with a cut up boneless pork chop- which was dry as a bone! Inedible actually. The lettuce was crisp and the pita was fresh -but this shortcut with the meat killed the entire thing. I didn't taste my husbands sad little pizza -but he said it was just ok. It was obviously a frozen pizza. Very disappointed! Will not be back. read more

The place is very well kept and the family who owns it is classy and top notch. The food is good quality and tasty. The bar and poolroom downstairs is excellent and the bartenders are always friendly as is the crowd. Kosta the bartender does smoked whisky shots which are amazing and I'll bet my last dollar that he is the only person in this county doing such things. Don't skip this place. read more

Stopped back in today for their delicious French onion soup! Never disappoints, Todd is always good, friendly service and clean ! If you haven't been there it is a must try. Sorry I should have taken a picture, next time I will . read more

This place is a gem. The food is out of this world. Seriously. The eggplant rollatini is like no other. Dressings are all home made and the service is top notch professional. David and Spirit are extremely professional. I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. read more

Walked in, good amount of people at the bar. Hardly anyone in dining area. Waited for a host. A server greeted us, awkwardly herded us. Server asked to take our drinks but then told us to hold on until she was ready...??? Got mixed drinks. She pushed us for doubles, which we didn't. The drinks came back very weak in tall collins glasses.. put some appetizers in. Yum. Came out in good timing. Baked apple with bre cheese & very good calamari. Dinner menu had burgers & lots of chicken and some pastas. Nothing jumped at us so we just called it a light meal and left. Very very unimpressed. The server was annoyed with us and it showed. Iced tea was extremely watered down. Bummer. read more

This is a Greek themed restaurant centered around real home made food. . . . .We went here with some friends on a Friday night and had a great time! For the food we ordered a variety of appetizers - yummy! and for entrees we ordered short ribs, Margarita pie, a Greek Eggplant-Feta Phyllo Turnovers-Melitzanopitakia and a Spinach Pie with Feta - Spanakopita - ALL MADE FRESH! As for the drinks, between running around making sure the customers are happy and the kitchen is bringing the food out on time Christina is at the helm behind the bar-well trained in the ART of Mixology - my wife enjoyed a wedding chocolate martini and I ordered a rapture which is like a tequila sunrise with muddle jalapeno for a burn. You are in for a treat whether your coming for cocktails or a great home made meal! read more

Gave it a try. The food was not fresh or hot. Felt like i was being served yesterday's leftovers. Will not be returning.

I love this place. The food is amazing. Much better than most in this area. Everything is fresh and delicious. It's never disappointing going there. My new favorite restaurant. The chef is spot on. read more

Enthusiastic to try here based on reviews and so close to home. The zucchini sticks were too greasy and the rice and meat in stuffed peppers seemed left over and they were luke warm. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend trying it. read more
