The Black Olive Restaurant Review

Take your waiter up on his invitation to join him in the kitchen for a view of the day's catch. Will it be the rockfish for you this evening? Or the dorade royale, or perhaps the barbouni, the only fish the ancients deemed acceptable as a sacrifice to the gods? Whatever your pleasure, it will soon arrive, burnished by the grill and garnished with little more than a hint of olive oil, a squeeze...

"Swimmingly fresh" fish is whisked from the ice display to be "prepared simply and beautifully" in the "delectable Greek style" before being filleted tableside at this "authentic" Fells Point Hellenic seafood specialist; "knowledgeable" servers and an "elegant, relaxed atmosphere" help make it a "perennial favorite" for those "willing to pay" the "heavy price tag"; P.S. nearby Olive Room has...

Take your waiter up on his invitation to join him in the kitchen for a view of the day's catch. That way you can see for yourself how bright-eyed and glossy those fish really are. Will it be the pompano for you this evening? Or the… Read More

One of the most visually stunning restaurants that your Kenneth Cole's will ever stride into. Brick lattice wine racks, hand-stitched linen tablecloths, rich corinthian leather (In the Bentley out front), atmospheric dulcet sounds accompany Greek starter standards such as Tzatziki, Hummus, and Grilled Sardines in Grape Leaves. Masterfully complimenting the...

We've been here multiple times and enjoyed our time each time, but the service this time was noticeably slower and the food wasn't quite to the level we've come to expect. Not sure what was wrong, we will definitely try it again because this was an exception , but it was definitely disappointing for us folks who save up for a special trip to a great restaurant.

I have visited this location on other occasions. Our experience has always been favorable. However, this time was troublesome. The place was empty on a holiday weekend night. They were out of several items. The service was very slow. The sign is missing out front. It appears they are closing their doors. I would not recommend this restaurant.

The Extras: Your server will fillet whole fish for you at the table and can even show you how to do it yourself for next time.

What to Drink: If you're able to bypass the wine list, try the light, refreshing ice tea. Herbs imported from Greece put a unique, tasty spin on the classic beverage.
