Reviews The Olive Tree

I hadn't been to Olive Tree in quite a few years. I was surprised at the upscale look, beautiful bar area (with an unbelievable number of TV's), and spacious dining area. There also was an impressive 'wall of wine'. There were 15 of us and they handled our group quickly and courteously. Everyone in the group raved about their meals so we were full and happy. If you are in the Glen Burnie area looking for a great place to eat, you won't go wrong dining here.

My husband and I came here for date night and it was such a happy surprise. The service from Laura was great and the food was absolutely delicious. We shared the margherita flatbread, which had a little more olive oil than we would like on the regular, but the flavor was so fresh we were ok with it. The eggplant parmigiana was literally the best I’ve ever had. My husband had the grilled chicken sandwich and he said it was his top 3. We’ll definitely be coming back.

My husband and I ate here on a Thursday evening for an early (4:30PM) dinner. They weren't too crowded and the atmosphere was very nice. Tables were spaced far apart and parties were seated away from each other when possible as opposed to seating parties right next to each other. The food was very good. We were immediately impressed by the complimentary salad and breadsticks that they give out to every table. The bread sticks were nice and airy and were seasoned well. The salad had lots of ingredients. We ordered the bang bang shrimp egg rolls (off their specials menu), grilled shrimp naples, a southern platter (comes with a small piece of veal parm, lasagna, and manicotti), and a canoli. Most of the food was great. However, The canoli was a bit soggy and for $7.25, i'd expect to get at least two instead of just one. But the filling was delicious. We were a bit disappointed that they had run out of their tiramisu. We were told that it is very popular and they often run out. However, we were there at the beginning of dinner time, so we felt they really should've made more if they run out so early in the day. Perhaps we'll get to try it another time. Our waitress also mentioned that they used to serve creme brule (for 25 years), but it was recently removed from the menu. I definitely would've ordered that if it were still available. Overall we were very happy with our experience here. The food came out quickly (probably too quickly since we could barely touch our salad and egg rolls before the main courses arrived). The service was friendly and attentive, and the manager was very nice and fun to talk to. We will definitely be returning. Hopefully the tiramisu will be there. And hopefully someday they will even bring back their creme brule!

Been here twice now. Both times the food has been good. Chill environment. Bartender has been very nice and attentive. Would definitely recommend.
