We read other reviews and were somewhat reluctant to try Olive You. We are very glad we gave it a chance. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Food was excellent, abdundant, and arrived perfectly prepared in a timely manner. Overall, this experience was one of the best we've had in Seattle. We would definitely recommend this restaurant. more

WORST DINING EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD IN SEATTLE. Wasn't busy, but the staff forgot my husband's drink 4 times. (It was over an hour after he ordered it that it arrived.) We were served food other than what we ordered. It was AWFUL. Especially considering the great medi. food you can get around here. more

Food and atmosphere are great. The service used to be really slow, but it has gotten better and shouldn't be a deterrent. more

Amazing! The nicest people. I almost always get one of their dinner specials, and I am particularly fond of the eggplant stuffed with veggies and chicken (sultan's delight?). Also - great spreads! more

Long story short: -Food took 1 HOUR to get to our table. We ordered the lamb suvlaki, the food was cold, did not taste 'greek fresh' and portions were VERY SMALL specially for the price ($18/plate). When I nicely requested the anorexic waitress if she could warm up the food, she disapeared...This is the first time in my life-seriously-were I... more
