Warm bread with olive oil and olives are immediately brought to the table.
Appetizers enjoyed:
Jay tried the Cold Pikilia (Eggplant Salad-roasted eggplant with fresh herbs; Hummus-mashed chickpeas w/tahini; Taramosalata-smoked cod's roe with potatoes; and, Tzatziki-strained greek yogurt w/cucumbers and garlic). Everything was delicious. Mom Geri even liked the Taramosalata!
Ken thoroughly enjoyed the Charcoal grilled jumbo shrimp, which is surprising because he usually complains when Jay keeps the shell on!
Entrees:
Mom Geri ordered the Shrimp TourkolImano (sauteed with white wine w/fresh tomatoes, garlic, feta cheese, kalamata olives and a touch of ouzo). Some taken home for dinner.
She chose Seafood soup (instead of a salad) to start her meal, which she enjoyed...
Jay enjoyed the Roasted Leg of Lamb, which was tender and flavorful. It came with lemon roasted potatoes and green beans. She took some home for dinner.
She chose the salad to start her meal. Very fresh.
Ken devoured the Pork Souvlaki Plate. The Greek fries were delicious! We couldn't stop eating them!
Keep in mind that these are lunch portions! Dinner portions must be HUGE!
Too full for dessert. But the dessert menu included beautiful photos which were very enticing.
We will return. Jay wants to get 2 apps and dessert (baklava!) next time. We MUST request that they not start the entree until we are finished with our soup/salad. Food came out much too fast!

Great review, Jay! We are looking forward to returning to Black Olive with you in the near future. We have to get the fried cheese and the baklava for dessert when we go back! Both were wonderful! Glad you enjoyed the food. Wines look good too.
