   Wow, I am so impressed with the quality of food at The Black Olive. We had a wonderful experience; the staff was friendly, and food was incredible. I cannot wait to plan my next trip back to try more selections on their menu (The Scallops on Charcoal is what I had in addition to the Baklava Ice Cream)! I cannot say enough good things about this local Baltimore staple in our city.

   Elegant sophisticated yet not at all pretentious. You will experience some of the best fish you’ve ever had made just the way you like it. Also, they have an extensive wine list.

We're humbled by your appreciation and so glad everything—from the fish to the wine to the champagne—made the evening feel special. Wishing you both many more joyful years together! Kind Regards, The Black Olive Team

   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!
