Reviews for Olivos Mediterranean Bar & Grill in Garden City, NY

this was honestly not worth it at all. the menu is so random and weird with a bunch of different types of food. i got the arrow... con pollo and it was sub par, it didn't even taste like the actual thing. it was $22 just for my entrée and 1000% not worth it!the service is also really horrible, my waiter never checked up on us, and we were waiting upwards of 10min for a check. therestaurant is also generally not clean, the glasses/napkins/forks are visibly dirty and dusty. would not go here again. completewaste of money. don't listen to the good reviews!!!

Brick oven pizza was okay when your really hungry. I have yet to find a slice of authentic pizza yet. Old fashioned sauce,... cheese and the smell of authentic Italian pizza. Anyway, this is a convenient spot if your starving. Read more

Great service, seated right away then guided through the menu by the attentive servers. Started off with pizza, then had the... pork chops. Followed by the tiramisu and the food was delicious! We came here with a table of 5 and everyones food and drinkscame correctly and on time! Will definitely be back Read more

One of the worst dining experiences I have had in a very long time. Lots of staff but no one was willing to help us, once we did... get seated our server took an excessively long time before seeing us. Once we ordered food took a even longer time and once itarrived it got even worse. The pasta was mostly a messy ball of cheese with very little pasta and a couple pieces of over cookedchicken. We also got a pizza that had frozen breaded chicken tenders on it and no flavor at all. Soft drinks do not have freerefills and extra bread will cost you, this place will try to nickel and dime you all the way till the end. We did not finishour dinner only eating about 25% of the meal before beginning to feel unwell. After paying over $75 for this experience we leftand felt unwell for the next several hours. I would stay away from this place, for the price you are almost guaranteed to getbetter service and food anywhere else. Also do not let the photos on google or the website fool you, the food in real life looksnothing like the photos, the chefs take no pride in the food and it is just tossed on the plate with no effort.

I understand that mall restaurants can be hit or miss, but this was the worst meal I?ve had in a very long time. Let me start... with the food. The hummus was alright! Slightly grainy but not inedible! My baked ziti was a giant ball of melted cheese with alittle bit of pasta thrown in, and my boyfriends chicken francese pizza was more like frozen chicken nuggets on a pizza. It wasvery disappointing considering we spent $75 on the meal. And also, if you get any sort of soft drink, tea, or lemonade, bewarethat free refills do not exist and you will have to pay an extra $3-5 per refill. The service was okay, but they actually hadwhat seemed like a good amount of staff, and it still took us a long time to get food. The ambiance of the restaurant wasstrange, with LED light strips scattered around, 2000?s carpet, Italian artwork, and more miscellaneous decor. Just a reallystrange combo. The women?s restroom was quite gross, with pee covering the toilet seat, dirty floors, and paper towels scatteredeverywhere. After leaving, my boyfriend and I both felt slightly sick and truly could not justify anything higher than a 1-starreview. Read more

The food was great, I ordered grilled calamari and a side of mashed potatoes. I just don?t understand why it took my waitress... so long to come pick up my check to leave. It wasn?t even that busy. I was watching her the whole time too and she was engagingin Long conversations with other patrons and when she went to the side when there was nothing else to do she was in an attitude. Read more

To start off, The food was Fabulous. I personally ordered the creamy salmon. The taste was so amazing, and to top it off, i got... a martini which was also very greatly prepared by the bartender. My wife got the penne alla vodka and she said it tasted freshand delicious. My kids shared a cheese pizza pie and they said it was the best they?ve ever had????. The food is great, thewaiters were so kind and the bus boy came to refill our water constantly. Fascinating service! Our only problem was the pricing.The food was pretty expensive. Happy hour is a great thing because it helps with the drinks but if their was a happy hour forfood, the restaurant would truly be the best. Read more

Best part was the wine. Steak was over cooked. Two other items I asked for was not availed. I was leaning towards the... Mediterranean dishes but the waiter kept pushing the Italian dishes & only recommended Italian dishes. A little strange since itis advertised as a Mediterranean restaurant. My wife's chicken parm was tender but the sauce tasted like it was out of a jar,very metallic tasting. Dessert, first item I wanted was not available so I selected 2nd choice then, 5 minutes late theymysteriously had my 1st choice. I would not give this place a 2nd chance. Read more
