delicious food

by lbertcr

The food here is absolutely delicious. Best burger in the area, and one of the best in the city. The regular fries and the chicken sandwiches are also amazing.

Amazing WIngs and Atmosphere

by msnyc18

I love this place! i went once with some friends on a whim and now whenever ive craving wings and im in the city thats where i go. I love love love wings and ive been many many places for them, but the great thing about the wings here is that they have a really unique taste. They are a bit spicy but so full or flavor, even their blue cheese dip is unique and the combination is like flavor heaven. Its cute and fun and all the tables are made of chalk board so you can draw on them or play tick tack toe lol. Its a great date place and the menu is very fairly priced and covers almost everything. I highly recommend it. I have yet to know someone that ive taken there or been there on their own that had anything bad to say about Olive Tree.

• Pros: The Wings and the atmosphere
• Cons: nothing i can think of...

Late Night Eats

by renee_james

This is an excellent place to eat after you've been out an about in the Village, be it 1am or 1pm. Love the Charlie Chaplin silent movies, can get kind of crowded though at night. Its cheap and you can draw on the table while you wait for your food. They've taken away the the Shwarma Guy though to make more room for tables, so its a little tight and busy (especially at night). Comedians run rampant through there (Due to the Comedy Place downstairs), so you can see anyone on any given night. But when your hungry at 1am and your looking for a place to eat, this might be a sight for sore eyes and empty stomachs or a quick laugh when you go to the bathroom. Cool.

• Pros: Its open late, decent Turkey Burger if your not into Meditteranean food or don't want Mc D's, B King's or Pizza.
• Cons: Your on top of each other, kind of tight

good food, one of my frequents

by madbhangra

i really like the food and drinks here. i recommend getting the hummus platter thingies, they are really good and not expensive at all. the desserts are especially tasty, and drinks are usually good too. i have to agree though that the service is kind of crappy. you may have to ask for a drink a couple times before you get it. but the coolest part about the restaurant are the chalkboard tables, which is sooo fun to draw all over while you eat :)

Horrible Service

by cutielishius

The food is good, but the service is horrible. When you come in, the hotess will ask you, with a nasty face, how many people are coming and if you're really hungry. They rush over to get your order without giving you time to think and when you tell them you're ready, they make you wait a half hour until they take your order. They are spiteful and do not bring your food out quickly if you took a little extra time to order. The food is good, but nothing special. This is definitely not a place to go to and relax because of the hostile atmosphere from the employees.

• Pros: The food and the location and good
• Cons: The service and atmosphere of the employees will definitely ruin a good mood

Worth the 2 hours ride from Connecticut

by dontoni

after moving away from NYC and 3 years later you just can not find anything like anywhere else. The Mid Eastern platter are to die from the kabobs make my husbands mouth water even if he just had dinner. The lines are alway long but well worth it The place is a hole in the wall just like you alway hear people say when they find that great little place and THIS IS IT!! see all of you soon.

Go here when you are hungover and want to pummle some great food. Pitchers of beer are cheap and so is the delicious food. Olive Tree is such a go-to spot for me!

• Pros: Food, Cheap

Great Ambience, good for a casual first date

by bluemoon223

Big chalk board tables, chess sets provided when not full, great service, so-so food, beautiful lighting, cramped center tables but spacious booths worth waiting for. Charlie Chaplin movies have been playing on a Projector here for at least 11 years- I have been coming here for that long! Great place for a first date- especially with the comedy club right downstairs.

• Pros: lighting, comedy club, service
• Cons: food, noisey, bathroom location
