   Disappointed that arriving 20 min. early for a reservation still required waiting until the "specified time" (noon), despite an empty table, then 2 empty tables (same size as 1 "allotted" to us) being available. Upon being seated, we were then informed that breakfast/ brunch was no longer available starting at noon; no exceptions from the kitchen. If I missed the cutoff time for breakfast on the website, I'm sorry, but still disappointed with the inflexibility of the kitchen for Mother's Day, particularly watching 2 other tables that came in just before us get their breakfasts just before we were served. Our server made every effort to accommodate us, but the kitchen was adamant.

   I have food restrictions & our server, Carmen, relayed them to the Chef & was excellent to communicate feedback. Our meals were all hot & delicious. We enjoyed eating outside. We will be back!

   my review would have been higher except that they had a limited menu because of events in town and they were concerned with timing for people to attend the shows and concerts that night. I was looking forward to eat the time consuming dishes they claim and I would check the calendar if you are going there

   Underwhelming – Not Coming Back Disappointing experience from start to finish. Our waiter, Spencer, was rude and made completely inappropriate jokes that made the table uncomfortable. The food didn’t make up for it either—our appetizer was so spicy, it felt more like Mexican than Greek cuisine, while the main course was the exact opposite: bland, flavorless, and lacking even basic seasoning. Definitely not worth a return visit. Restaurant informed us that the food is traditionally this spicy in Greece 😂 and that the waiter spent just enough time with us 😂 I am afraid to think what else he would have said, if more time was spent at the table 🫣

   My wife and I tried Olive and Thyme last night and will definitely be back! Our server was very friendly and made great recommendations. We started with the feta dip and zucchini tower. The dip had a nice blend of saltiness and spice. The zucchini tower is absolutely addictive! Crispy without being heavy. A great crunch that keeps you wanting more. Olive and Thyme is in a great location. Close to downtown Clearwater without having to deal with all the traffic.
