    Had the two platters as usual, and they continue to evolve and improve with new items. Relatively quiet, especially if you sit outside.

    Very disappointed. Oliv Pit is by no means a 'fine dining' experience, in ambiance, food or otherwise. Tables are very close together, with other patrons banging into your chair every time they shift. We were placed at a table near the refrigerator where the wines are kept, so every time a server needed to pour a glass of wine, they came very close to our table. Food was not prepared well (salmon was undercooked and needed to be sent back, potatoes were 1/2 cooked). Although some meals come with 2 'sides,' their version of a side greek salad was literally 3 pieces of lettuce, 1 tomato, and nothing else. When we asked if that was the 'side' greek salad, they brought a different small bowl of a traditional greek salad, but only for one of us, even though we both ordered one. We wanted to try this restaurant, but definitely would not go back. Extremely disappointed that we made the mistake of trying this spot for our anniversary......oh, and no acknowledgement of our anniversary either, even though we noted it on our Open Table reservation. Why ask us if we're celebrating anything special if you're not at least going to acknowledge it.

    They did not honor our reservation for 7 pm after we waited 30 minutes. They were not that busy but nobody was in charge. The service is the worst since they opened and I heard the food is still good but i couldn't tell you because we never got seated after waiting 40 minutes past our reservation.

    This was our 3rd time back. In the past we overlooked the service because we enjoyed the food. Saturday we arrived on time for our reservation and was told to take any table we wanted. Service was all downhill from there. Wine took 20 minutes to arrive after asking for it several times. When I ordered I specifically asked for the salad first followed by the entree. Not an unusual request but I knew from past experience. Salad arrived and then 2 minutes later mains arrived which I refused to accept despite some nonsense back talk from the older male waiter. The service staff is awful. I don’t want to be served by a 16 year old that doesn’t know what he is doing or a waiter that doesn’t care. My tip to ownership is replace and train your service staff before they put you out of business. Not rushing to return.

    Took parents for Valentines Day. Used to be one of our favorite places. Evidently new ownership and chef since Christmas. Awful service- 2 servers working the place, took over an hour to get food which was cold, and platters didn’t have all the food. Had to speak to chef/ owner who didn’t believe me and had to come out to Tavel to show her how she threw the food on the plate and how she didn’t provide what was on the menu. Server took $48 off bill. Now simply THE PIT

    Honestly, my husband and I were so disappointed with our dinner last night. It took forever to get our food but once it arrived it wasn’t even delicious. We came here about a year ago and we loved our dinner. I am not sure what went wrong. It wasn’t even crowded so I’m not sure why our food took so long. At this point, I hope that they can get this restaurant back on track. Really disappointed:(

    Waiter was rude and pushed us to order both apps and entrees at same time and then served them at same time. Lied about it getting crowded soon because only one other person came in after us. Never showed us breakdown of final bill. Food was delicious: falafel, fava, grilled chicken and lamb.

    Portions small. Hummus (fava beans) was gelatin like and tasteless. We had octopus as an appetizer and small portion but delicious. We also had the smoky eggplant, quite good...the whole wheat pita was the best I’ve had ever. The Greek salad was also delicious but small. For Mains, My husband had the prawn dinner 32.00. It was two small prawns and the plate was full with the shell of the two prawns. He was most unhappy. It’s rare that my husband says never again. Seafood platter for 59.00 for two :contained a small very small piece of salmon, some cut up octopus, Maybe three inches in total. And lots of fried calamari, lots and lots of cut up triangles of pita to make platter look full and two fish patties which were awful and mostly bread crumbs. We asked for our discount from our community as It’s listed as one of the restaurants in our monthly booklet that gives a discount when u show ur membership card.. they said sorry only off season... I must say that the little piece of salmon and the small quantity of octopus was delicious. Now I know why the three other restaurants in the plaza were full and they were empty. Sorry to give a poor review but the restaurant should know

    Oliv PitResponded on January 15, 2020

    I apologize for the underwhelming portions. I'm glad you enjoyed the appetizers. We will use this feedback to improve on our platters. Apologies for the confusion with the discounting for your community. I will look into that and correct it. Thanks again for your visit and I do hope you try us again.

    I thought the food was pretty good although I just got a greek salad with a chicken skewer and spinach pie. I really went for the shrimp in garlic-oil... and they were out! So quite disappointed that I would have to call next time if I went. Also, the lady young waitress was not very pleasant. It was like it was the last place she wanted to be. the food took a VERY long time to get and other tables were annoyed too. It was NOT busy either. I may try it again, but they do need to step up those issues!

    The food was not at all acceptable. The Greek salad had no taste. We asked for more dressing but the dressing had no taste. The chicken was way overcooked. The cooked shrimp was not peeled and was served with the legs, etc. Totally not acceptable and just a lazy chef. The table next to us complained about the same thing with the shrimp and actually sent theirs back. The shrimp was like rubber and had no taste. Apparently we learned that there are new owners and they really don't care about the customers. Also they now charge for pita bread. Ridiculous at a Greek restaurant. Will not go back.

    This was one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had! I wish I could give it 0 stars. Horrible service, food that never came or arrived in dribs and drabs. What a nightmare! We would have left, but we had an elderly guest with us, so it wasn’t feasible. Suffice it to say, we will never return to the Oliv Pit.

    Despite our reservation we were not welcomed by the hostess and were treated like uninvited guests at a party. There seems to be a regular clientele at this establishment. After 30 minutes sitting at a “ side table “ a passing waiter asked if we’d ordered and I pointed out that were not yet given a menu. This established the pattern for the whole meal. The food quality was authentic Greek but the service painfully deficient. I’m told this is the third new management in two years. I’ m afraid to say there are many other Greek restaurants in the area.

    I can live with mediocre food and service. This place was the worst dining experience I have had in a long time. First, what kind of Greek restaurant rubs out of hummus on a Saturday night by 7 pm? Four other mainstay dishes were also 86. The waiter was rude and kept touching our shoulder. The lamb chops tough and overcooked. We had to send back prawns because they were not fresh. Worst dining out I’ve had in boca in years.

    We’ve been going to this restaurant for a long time. Never had any problems before. Food and service was always good. We were just there a week ago and had a great meal. Big change last night !!! Service was terrible, we asked for some Pita, several times. Finally on the 3rd or 4th request The server said they no longer serve free Pita Bread, which they always had provided free. She also had a bad attitude. We asked for Bronzino without head or tail. Server said they No longer do this. Finally she agreed- and the fish came whole, without head or tail. We asked for kitchen to filet The fish as they had always done. Server said they don’t Do this anymore !!! Apparently the manager had just recently left and they didn’t know what to do. They had made changes without Telling their servers !!!! There was apparently a new chef. Finally the Bronzino arrived, tasted terrible !!! One diner Ordered moussaka which came cold and tasteless. Dad to say, a nice restaurant gone downhill, fast. We certainly will not be returning.

    Our dinner was delicious. We sat outside for our noise level to be low. Appreciated the awning as it drizzled for about 3 minutes. The seafood platter for two was loaded and enough for two. The branzino, greek salad, and beet salads were ample sizes and delicious. The inside is decorated very nicely and inside or outside will be a treat for dining.

    During the month of October, when the Oliv Pit changed chefs and management, I would not have recommended the Oliv Pit. Now, it's a different story! Our salad was awesome, the grilled Octopus was served hot off the grill and the lamb chops were "like butter". Mike was our server and he did a great job. We're so glad that they got there act together!

    Horrible experience. We have been to this restaurant many times in the past and it was great. This time it was a disaster. First off no gluten free pita available. We ordered the octopus and it came out over cooked with some gross capers that were shriveled up. To top it off the bring us our check before we even get our dinners. Come to find out they were sold and this was the first night for the new owners. Will never go back. Heard the “manager” arguing with a customer about her lamb chops being cooked incorrectly.

    We have been to dinner here several times and strong management led to impeccable service and dining. We did not see the owner manager tonight . We entered from the rear entrance and missed the sign out front looking for help. Everyone was new. The management has changed hands. They had no wines from the wine list. Anything they had was a leftover and tasted like one. We were not offered a taste of the bottle before it was poured. The bread never came. Two main entrees came so late the other diners had finishedThe tables had no condiments, salt or pepper. The dishes we once savored were unattractive in presentation. The waitress did comp the late last served dish. The new manager never came over. Everyone deserves an off night without a brutal on line review, This establishment had to many blemishes to receive that mulligan. .open table should let us all know if management and the staff have changed. Go elsewhere until the new owners figure out how a restaurant should be run

    Tonight we experienced the lamb chops at the Oliv Pit with a traditional Greek Salad and a side order of Greek Lemon Potatoes. The tomatoes were so fresh that they tasted as though they were picked as we entered the restaurant. The lamb chops were expertly grilled to our liking (medium rare) and seasoned to perfection. On a busy Saturday night, the mood was energetic as the servers raced through the restaurant delivering piping-hot food to each table. With every grilled entree made to order, we were amazed at how fast the main entrees were delivered to our table. To top off a terrific meal, we had freshly made Baklava dripping with honey. We can't wait to return!!!
