The Olive Grill — Restaurant in Mobile

Went to olive grill sunday to celebrate my friends birthday I must say the place is beautiful on the inside an its very elegant. The only drink option is BOTTLE GREEN LEAF TEA, CANN COKE & CANN SPRITE that's wild to me cause why pay $4 for a cann soda with NO REFILLS there is no alcohol as of yet i was told they are still waiting for a liquor license. Secondly i order the shrimp kabob (it difnintly wasn't a kabob)my food came with shrimp off the stick with no veggies, rice, a hand full of salad the food was good but i feel like this restaurant was supposed to be located in paris lol... we wanted to order Appetizers but just about all of the Appetizers was not available they have been open for 6 weeks and the restaurant was not busy so i dont know why they was out of alot of the Appetizers. Also when it was time to pay I didnt get to see my bill the owner just walked around the table with a kiosk machine asking each person what they ordered then telling us how much we owe so after everyone was done paying some people had left so a few minutes later the owner comes back an asked who had a coke an tea cause it wasn't paid for... (sir these ppl are gone already you clearly walked around and ask everyone what they had smh) but the owner was pretty cool about the situation but if they would have gave everyone a bill I think it could have been avoided. Would I eat there again NOPE would I recommend this place NOPE but I will give it a 6 out of 10 stars cause the staff was nice the food was good and the restaurant...

The food here is delicious. Really good, very fresh and flavorful. The meat was extremely tender and the hummus was some of the best I've ever had. 5 Stars for the food alone. The restaurant is also very nicely decorated. Looks very cozy, clean and modern.

Yes, this is a QR code menu restaurant. I saw at least 3 people leave because they didn't have a menu. I will say; it doesn't cost much to have a single menu printed up and posted on the door or sitting at the front desk. Most places will at least have the option of a single physical menu for people to see as they come in. It makes a bigger deal than you'd think for business.

During my visit; they were out of a lot of the menu items as well. Not a huge deal but they should let you know upfront. Which leads to my main and only issue - the service. I know they are a new business but it was quite slow considering there were only two other people in the restaurant at the time. I feel like it's one of those places where you have to go out of your way to get the attention of the waiter or server. They don't check in with you; you just have to get their attention or else you'll be waiting there forever. I ordered coffee and they forgot it and I actually just left without getting it because it was taking so long and so much effort to get them to come back to my table - I just didn't bother with it. They were very polite and professional just not...

Flawless execution. The best Mediterranean food I've ever had as well as my companions. The lentil soup was rich and delicate. It was flavored perfectly. (I added a touch of salt as a personal preference) The hummus was pretty standard but the Baba Ganoush was light but punchy in flavor while not overpowering. The lamb Adana kebab and the lamb kebab plates my friend and I had were executed flawlessly. Both were seasoned well and perfectly cooked as well as the salad and rice. The dressing on the salad was something I've never had before. I have no idea what it was but I wish I could take a bottle home with me. Even the tahani sauce was perfect. Smooth and light and not overpoweringly tangy like you get at most place. There's a number of Mediterranean restaurants here in town and I've eaten at them all. But only one has the taste that makes me think someone's "teta" is the one running the kitchen. And that's this place.

It's also connected to the best dessert spot in mobile. Yummy! Is...
