    It was a wonderful experience with my friends. Everyone is very courteous, helpful and warm. Food is excellent, there's authentic touch of Greece & Mediterranean! We would definitely come back and highly recommended restaurant in the heart of Baltimore MD.

    The Black Olive never disappoints. Hands down the best restaurant in Baltimore. The food is amazing, from start to dessert. The wine list is sublime. Terrific atmosphere. It’s a Baltimore treasure.

    This was our first but not the last time we will come here. Beautiful restaurant, great service, pace and awesome food. We had the Stuffed Calamari, Melitzanasalata, Saganaki Plate to start and the Dorade and Rockfish Mains. Kudos to the chef!

    The evening was wonderful and the food was fantastic! It’s small so it was loud due to one lady that would not stop talking. We know what her kid prefers and how she felt at the UN conference. Other than that… it’s a must to visit this place. Excellent!

    Just as good as we remember if not better. Fantastic experience. We had our wedding lunch there 15 years ago before we eloped. It was amazing to be back with our daughter and friends

    Beautiful restaurant. Ambience is warm, welcoming and elegant with a family-owned vibe. Several seating regions, easily accommodated our large group but would also be lovely for date night. The food was incredible, and service superior. Highly recommend!
