The Black Olive has amazing food, we are never disappointed with anything on the menu. It is a great spot for a date night as well, excellent food and good drinks. We've dined in and have done curbside pick up and both times the food did not disappoint. Curbside our food was HOT and fresh.

Food is always good. Servers are friendly and they have plenty of gluten free options/substitutions. Try the carrot cake even if you aren't gluten free.
