I didnt even want to give it one star honestly especially after my last order. I havent been here in a decent amount of time because our last experience there was not good but I figured Id give it a shot and ordered take out for my daughter and I, well we ordered pasta and hers was pesto that the pesto was plopped onto the top of her pasta and not mixed in plus some of the noodles werent cooked all the way, mine was simply angel hair with meatsauce and my pasta was in clumps. Then they both came with salads and they were both lousy with brown lettuce and mine hardly had any lettuce in it. I am the type of person that never complains unless its really bad and with this I will not be returning especially after spending almost $50 on pasta!!

Today a customer at this location decided it was ok to call us Bs and then proceeded to call me the N word. We could have easily just handled the situation ourselves but chose to get management. Management never said anything to her but made it seem like we were the issue. Please do not give these people anymore of your money. This is not the first time this has happened at this establishment

Good food. Pleasant wait staff. We were seated quickly for lunch. Sadly, the place has poor acoustics, so conversations bounce all over the walls making you feel like youre in a gymnasium. You end up not hearing your table guests and find yourself raising your own voice to be heard.Overall, nice place.Business traveller.

I am a regular customer.. I am very disappointed on how they handle their business these days.. Requested a server a week in advance for a party of 10 for a birthday gathering knowing this person usually works this day.. They said, they will note it and do what they can.. Seriously? All restaurants that I have dealt with before, has always given me my request.. This person is an awesome server, very friendly and prompt with her serving and you never have to ask for refills.. Needless to say, we did not get that server because they switched her days off that week.. The server we did have, could not keep up with our group or drinks.. The bus boy did much better job on clearing our table, bringing us more bread and filled our water.. The bus boys should be able to get recognition too.. They work just as hard.. Second, a bar tender should not have to leave their area.. They should only have to wait on people at the bar and they should have servers serve at the tables around the bar area in the bar.. The food is good, but they need a better way of running their restaurant in a timely matter..

Came here for dinner. Husband got the grilled chicken breast. It was VERY dry and hard to chew. I got the mussels which were so over cooked I couldn’t even chew them. When I complained, they kindly said they would remake it for me but then offered me the clams instead. For the price of this place, you’d expect a better food experience. Likely will not be back.

Visited the Green Olive in Bridgeton today. I decided on the founder sandwich with fries and got the French Onion Soup.The soup is absolutely delicious with nice soft onions and a rich beef broth. It was topped with the the customary croutons and cheese. Just wish it had a bit more cheese.The flounder sandwich was good. I got a huge piece of perfectly fried flounder that did not fit on the bun. The bun appeared to be several days past prime and was too stale to eat.My companion ordered the crab cake sandwich and French Onion Soup. When her plate arrived, the entire bottom of the crab cake was missing. She advised the manager who then spoke with the kitchen staff who advised they all come that way due to stickng on the grill. They prepared her another one even though I was already done with my meal. The second plate arrived and the crab cake did appear better than the last but upon cutting into it, was very dry. It also came on the same stale roll.

Ordered pot roast meal, received sliced beef roast meal. I advised the waitress that is not what I ordered she ignored me. When I paid my meal I was asked how was the meal. I complained that I did not receive the correct meal. I was ignored. I felt disrespected and ignored. No apologies from that restaurant. The nerve of people this days. Disrespect.

I love the pizza here, however, they have not been offering pizza on the menu due to a labor shortage in relation to the pandemic. It had been a while since we have been here and I was hoping that would have changed but it did not.I got linguini and meatballs instead and I was not a fan of the meatballs. Their bread is always yummy and their mozzarella sticks are good. My husband ordered a chicken cheesesteak which he enjoyed.The restaurant itself is clean and the service is consistent. Please bring the pizza back!

We decided to eat here for breakfast. Be aware they are short staff so service is a bit slow. We were a party of 7 so we waited 10mins for seating. The waitress seemed nervous as her hands were shaky; but overall she did her best with serving our party. I would like to note it took an hour to receive our food after ordering and one of our orders was incorrect (the manager did come over to make sure we were satisfied)I ordered the spinach omelette w/ a side of bacon. The food was delicious overall. The bacon tasted sweet and the home fries needed a bit of salt & pepper.Overall a decent experience and tasty food.Please note they have limited vegan options.

The service was a little slow at first but then got really good, honestly. The food was ok but not for the money. The bill looked like a room service bill. I didnt expect to drop almost $100 on breakfast (for a man and wife and little girl) and three pieces of cake to go, but I did. Cant say Ill be going back for that beating again any time soon.

Always a fantastic experience. We took my son here, less than a year, also his first time really OUT because of the pandemic. They made us feel safe, welcome with a baby, and the waitress we had kept our drinks topped off (as well as entertained our son wish peekaboo)

Terrible. My wife & I went for lunch Tuesday September 7. Lunch special prime rib sandwich. What a joke ! No meat ! Sent it back, barely any the second time ! Seafood bisque , no seafood ! Management/owner couldn’t be bothered. Never again

A group of 6 of us went for dinner. We were sat in a secluded area in the back, which I appreciated. It was very cozy. They allowed me to substitute crabmeat for scallops in my seafood pasta dish at no addition charge. The meal was good but could have used a little more seasoning. My daughter ordered steak w/crabcake. The steak was slightly overcooked (she asked for it medium) but overall had a good flavor. Definitely check out the dessert case! We ordered an assortment of things and they were all fantastic! The banana foster cheesecake was probably my fav. The waitress and restaurant staff were all very friendly and accommodating.

Ive always liked this place. Lately we can only eat here when we have some extra cash. We love the Stuffed Salmon Mini, and the Salads. We recently got the Southwest Steak Salad for 11.99. Well this time I dont know what happened ,They both looked more like a side salads. I called and was told to call back next day due to kitchen being closed. So the next night I called, and the problem was taken care of! Courtney, Cell, and the manager working 02/17 @7pm were wonderful!. Both salads remade beautifully,The cook did an amazing job on the steak. (Pic of S.W Steak Salad posted in photos)The salads are a bit pricey, but are worth it! I appreciate them fixing the problem so kindly and quickly. Great ,sweet staff!. We will be ordering again 😊☺️

Food was good of what we received. Take out service not so much. Neither one of our two dinners included the garden salads that came with them. When I called to find out what happened some kind of boss got on the phone and implied that the salads were there. They were absolutely missing. He offered a 10% credit to our check. Curious to see if it really happens. This was our 46th wedding anniversary dinner. First and last at the Green Olive.

First time eating here and I am Very disappointed! I was looking forward to eating the Mediterranean Salad for lunch. First of not only I paid $15 plus tip for curbside pickup and don’t let me forget the .30 cent charge for the “To Go”. I did not like the fact they used iceberg lettuce and they literally gave me 3 small pieces of shrimp and about a tablespoon of crabmeat if that! When I picked up my food I can say the lady was polite but when I went to eat my food on my lunch break, IN MY CAR smh I had no utensils or napkin!

Review №26

Just ordered $200 worth of food and it was not great. One order was Chicken and Sea and it had no shrimp. The Seafood Supreme needs spices, it was so bland and the shrimp was as tough. It also had some kind of overcooked scallops. The salad was wilted and taste like dirt. Stuffed mushrooms were ok but the crab stuffing was really salty. The potato in the crab stuffed shrimp was hard and not fully cooked. Over all it wasnt good. I expected better for the price.

Little bit of a wait.,but it was Mothers Day. Surprised No Pizza or Sandwiches. Food was OK A little pricy for what you get. Also took 2 hours to for dinner. Took dessert to go . Cant go wrong with Cheese Cake Factory. Suggest just go and get dessert take-out

My mom, my wife, my ten month old, and I went to the Green Olive for a Sunday lunch. A bit of a wait, but thats to be expected at a time like that. Everything was comfortable, and there were plenty of interesting things for my baby to look at to keep him busy. The hostess was very friendly. They spaced their tables in such a way that you could tell they took social distancing seriously, and the menus actually smelled like theyd been cleaned. We ordered steak, salmon, pasta with a bolognese sauce, and everything was delicious. The prices for each dish were a solid five dollars higher than your average restaurant, but the decór was excellent and the wait staff was very personable. Its definitely a place to go out when you want to treat your family or have a romantic dinner. Well definitely be going back in the future.

Service from the beginning was extraordinary bad. We made a reservation two hours in advance for a party of 6 adults and 1 child. Upon arrival, 15 minutes prior to the reservation; we were told our table was given away, by a manager. She continued without provocation to blame us for not communicating properly, not providing a call back number and taking too long to arrive after calling; rather than just Apologizing for the misunderstanding she insisted on placing the blame on her 1st time customers. When receiving bread the young mans finger was in the oil spread, still placed it on the table and just wiped his finger on his apron and moved on. The waitress was soft spoken under mask and was abrasive towards us as we discussed our drink choices. It took over an hour to receive our meals. The meat was appetizing, however, the sides were cold. The side of rice was was crispy and over-cooked. The side of Caesar salad was not tossed and the center/ head of the lettuce was in the salad itself. Would not recommend! Will not return. Service on a demanding Friday night was staffed by unsuitable, careless, rude and incompetent individuals. Very disappointing for a lovely (in appearance) restaurant.
