  The experience and ambiance was great! We were a tad bit late however the host was able to still seat us immediately. The staff was very professional and the food was good. It was a nice intimate environment. The drink slection was extensive. If you are a wine drinker this would be a nice place to sit down eat and select a good wine. We will be back to enjoy the food and the great environment.

  This was one of my favorite restaurants pre-pandemic; I cannot believe how much it has slipped. I brought visiting family with me and all of us stood around for quite some time waiting for a table despite having a reservation and showing up on time. The waitress seemed very spread thin with how busy the restaurant was, so I can't blame her for needing reminders for small stuff like salt and silverware. Prices have gone up (which is not surprising, prices have gone up everywhere), but it seems portion sizes have also gotten smaller. It makes sense for mezze to be small plates, but the main dishes and accompaniments were small, too. Details were also missed, like the salads lacking dressing or the pita being burnt. The most disappointing part was that the fish we ordered did not taste very fresh. The savory bread pudding is one of the most unique dishes I have had in Baltimore, but wasn't quite the same this time - did the recipe change? It was also my birthday, which went unacknowledged even though we mentioned it (just a "happy birthday" would have been nice). Positives: the octopus salad is still the best and tasted amazing!

  Okay. This is absolutely a fabulous restaurant. I can’t even begin to tell you how perfect. So I wanted to eat everything on the menu. I settled for the stuffed grilled calamari. Excellent. Perfectly prepared. I also got the whole branzino (sea bass). They filleted it tableside. It was divine. I followed dinner with a Greek coffee. Everything on the menu is made in house. I cannot wait to try everything else. The ambiance was so nice. Exposed brick, white table cloths, fresh flowers at every table, great lighting and Greek music. The service was absolutely perfect as well. My waiter was Michael. Great recommendations on the menu. I will be back on my next layover.

  Absolutely amazing from the time we walked in until we left. Great customer service, server gave recommendations and specials. The stuffed calamari was superb. Baklava ice cream on point! Will definitely return. Hidden gem for sure!

  The food was delicious and the service was superb. We were even waited on by Dimitri who is the owner. He was very kind and gracious to my table the entire night. Pictures is the shank lamb which falls off the bone, as well as a margarita, and this delicious ice cream. I don't know how to explain it, but the ice cream has multiple taste and textures. It was soooo good! I highly recommend you visit The Black Olive!
