    Outside - this is the back of the building
    Steven B.

    I was in Williamsport overnight after hiking Ricketts Glen and looking for a place to get dinner based on the Yelp reviews I decided to give The Olive Tree a try. I ran into into a couple of nits finding the restaurant; first it was the First Friday on W.4th so street closed to traffic and plenty of people out enjoying themselves. After finding parking nearby I tried to find The Olive Tree based on the address and it looked like the place didn't even exist; finally after a couple times around I noticed the small sign that said the place was in the back of the building. I circled around and found The Olive Tree tucked in next to the back parking lot. Walking in you find a small place that is packed with femininity, history and charm. It feels very old school with a huge chalkboard menu, chandeliers, wire chairs and glass tables and many flourishes. My attention was immediately drawn to the display case of a wide variety of delicious looking baklava. I was greeted by the owner and grabbed a table to look at the menu, which had plenty of vegetarian and seafood options. I decided to order the variety platter to get a nice selection of different tastes. The platter came with spanakopita, dolmathes, vegetables, hummus, skordalia, tzatziki, feta, and grilled pita bread; I asked to leave off the olives. What I got was an beautifully presented buffet of flavors, textures and some of the best Mediterranean food I have had. All of the food was clearly made in house using traditional recipes. The spanakopita was excellent, thin layers of crisp dough surrounded perfectly seasoned spinach and feta cheese. The dolomathes, grape leaves stuffed with rice and spices and rich olive oil. The hummus was hearty and flavorful, just the right bit garlicky. The tzatziki was smooth and light, a perfect compliment to the raw broccoli and carrots. This is the first time I have encountered skordalia, the 'Greek penicillin" a delicious combination of potatoes, garlic, dill and olive oil. The pita bread freshly grilled and perfect on its own or for dipping. I am not a huge fan of feta cheese, but here it was better then I have had before; the owner explained they drain the water and soak the feta in olive oil which makes it smoother and less salty. A truly excellent dinner and plenty of food. Delicious, vegetarian and healthy I was incredibly pleased with my choice to try The Olive Tree. I would strongly recommend giving them a try either to eat there or for take out. If nothing else I would return just to try some of the baklava.

    This is a hidden gem! We're 1:45 away, but will be making this trip again because the food was just that good! We absolutely loved talking with Sophia, the owner. Love her sassy, no BS attitude. Already looking forward to visiting again!

    Excellent service and amazing beer. I wanted to try them all!…read moreThe Rhubarbera sour was one of the best sours I have ever had!

    Nestled in North Central Pennsylvania, Williamsport lies along the West Branch Susquehanna River,…read moreand the base of Bald Eagle Mountain grew from its roots as an 18th-century settlement into a bustling hub thanks to the once-thriving lumber industry. It's no secret that PA's craft beverage scene is positively booming more than any other state in the country. Situated on the former site of an antique store, Bullfrog Brewery has sat on West 4th Street for 30 years in the vibrant downtown and stands out with both its flagship pub and a dedicated production facility, where my partner, his family, our friends, and I decided on dinner yesterday. A reservation was made for a party of 10. Upon entering, some of us as first-timers were greeted by the staff in a historic building with its brick and brass features along the brewing vats looming in the bar and dining areas. The vibe was warm, relaxed, and full of character. It's the kind of place where one instantly feels at home with indoor and outdoor dining options. Their menu tends to be hearty and comforting cuisine consisting of familiar savors of sandwiches, burgers, appetizers, and wings as well as more unique flavors and options for gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan patrons. For starters, we ordered Fried Pierogi, Roasted Cauliflower, and Sesame Pepper Tuna. Our main meal consisted of a Fried Fish Sandwich, Garlic-Crusted Chicken, Veggie Mac & Cheese, and Frogobello Sandwich, to name a few. The food was cooked well, tasty, and came out in a very timely manner. The staff were friendly and welcoming, checking in at the right intervals and ensuring we had everything we needed. Our server was Michael. It's a well-deserved local institution that makes an indelible mark.

    We've eaten at most of the popular places in Williamsport and I have to put this one at the top…read more While visiting our son at Penn College, this place will now be our "go-to". Service was great! Menu was unique and very tasty.

    The Sticky Elbow had a big menu and even bigger portion sizes…read more My bartender and server was great. She gave generous pours, solid recommendations, and constant smiles. Despite being one of the few patrons in the restaurant, my order took quite some time to come out. Drinks were made instantly, but I finished two before my entree arrived. The bathroom was strangely the only sticky element of the establishment. *Ribeye: huge 18 ounce ribeye served with sweet potato fries and creamed corn. Although I asked for medium rare, the edges leaned closer to medium well. That said, the steak was thoroughly seasoned and tender throughout. The sweet potato fries were heavily seasoned with sea salt, though the potatoes themselves were sweet enough to balance it out. The creamed corn was the most pungent and watery component. I wished the sauce had been thickened more, as it pooled underneath the steak and softened the bottom crust. Overall, this dish was hefty and a steal for the price. *Frost Bite: one of the seasonal mixed drinks. The Malibu and pineapple juice gave this a pina colada style profile. The blue curacao added a striking snowy appearance, though the drink itself leaned quite sweet. *Jingle Juice: another seasonal option, though this one packed a stronger alcohol punch. The tequila was more prominent, while the peach schnapps helped soften the edge. However, the cranberry and orange juices were barely noticeable, so it did not quite deliver the spiked fruit punch profile I was expecting. I loved the generous portions and strong flavors. While the execution was not perfect, the large sizes and heavy pours still made this a jolly experience.
