Mike was the owner and Head Chef and a great head Chef.. anybody who follows me know I don't really get down with Mediterranean food however this place made me a fan cannot complain, places like this are bringing me closer to eating Mediterranean at least three to four times a month
THE GRUB: I had the Lamb Chop plate and my wife had the mixed grill combo.. all were cooked perfectly. The Lamb Chop plate had four lamb chops rice hummus and a salad I substituted the salad for hummus as it came with pita bread and since I love pita bread I doubled up my hummus my wife had the big grill combo which was three skewers filet mignon, chicken and a ground beef kebab.She said she's in love.. not with me but this place..I know what she really meant..
The location is beautiful on the outside ,plenty of outside seating for the space and the inside is clean and smells great. They also have dessert which I was not ready to eat but look very good I may get one for my morning meal.
Overall this was a 5 out of five they had a Juneteenth Festival going on across the street I'm glad I ate here before I went over there they had very little variety over there and I would have been disappointed and probably ended up with the bubble guts.

Amazing experience at The Green Olive Downtown! The food was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor, and the atmosphere was fantastic—very welcoming and beautifully set up. Service was good and friendly. Highly recommend this spot if you're downtown!
Ordered a family meal for takeout staying at a a local resort. Plenty of food for 5 and very fresh!

My girlfriend and I have been looking for great Mediterranean food from Santa Barbara. We decided to travel a little farther out to Oxnard to give this place a try, and my god, it's fantastic.
The pita was on the dry side, but honestly that didn't bother me one bit. Everything else more than made up for it. This is exactly what I look for in a Mediterranean meal, fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.
We ordered the combo trio and the gyro mix, and hands down it's better than any big chain Mediterranean place out there. If you're craving the real deal, skip the chains and come here.
We'll definitely be back.
It is wonderful to seeGreen Olive Crushing it in Oxnard, Now in multiple locations! Tabouli salad was to die for, and every dish was prepared Perfectly. We appreciate the kind service and no matter which storefront Up and down the coast, Green Olive is our Mediterranean go to!
