Subpar food and very over priced for value. The space was great and it has a lot of potential. Need a good place to eat to celebrate and was disappointed. The ice cream shop nearby turned to around for us.

Don’t let the location fool you. It’s far from commercialized. Everything about this place is worth coming to.

Food was wonderful! Our server did a good job but they were short staffed somewhere. We waited a long, long time for food. There appeared to be only three servers for the dining room, but multiple others milling about not doing much.

Food was good, a bit pricy for the Restruant. . Service was ok, but overall a bit slow. Now that people have learned about the place, not quite the value it was a year ago!

We were hoping for great things from Wild Olives but unfortunately they we very understaffed the night of our reservation. First they placed us in a private side room that didn’t have much ambiance & informed us we would have to wait to get waters bc they were out of glasses and needed to wash them for us. Also there was fun but very loud group of 16 in this private room so we kindly asked to be moved to a table in the main area. After about 25 minutes they managed to clean off a table for us and it was immediately a better ambiance. Then it took about another 15 minutes for a waitress to notice our party. She was very apologetic but it took about 20 minutes to get drinks as there was only 1 bartender serving the entire restaurant. So we had been at the restaurant for over an hour before we got drinks. Our apps finally arrived and they were good. But then we waited & waited for our food. Our waitress & the manager both stopped by to apologize for the slowness of the food. About another hour went by before our food came out but by this time our party wasn’t even hungry anymore but was just tired from waiting forever as it was past 10:30pm when we got our food. The staff was as friendly as they could be and they comped us for several items on our bill which we were very appreciative of but it was over 3 hour experience. Unfortunately we probably won’t return.

The absolute WORST restaurant the 4 of us have EVER dined at (this would even include fast food). 2 hours and no food; other diners even went into the kitchen to find out what was the matter. Food finally arrives (The restaurant burst into a round of applause) - REPULSIVE and inedible. Everyone agreed they had never had such a horrible meal. The fact they have a $70 filet on the menu, when it’s below Waffle House quality is 😂😂😂😂 Wild Olives receives an F on all subjects. If a lower grade was available, it would receive that.
