Parking is somewhat difficult because of the upscale neighborhoods location. The inside is historical and welcoming. Bigger than it really look. Customer service, bartender and food is surely an A+++ the food is tasty you will taste it on your taste buds very unique flavors. Menu is filled of many ear catching dishes. Dessert was great also.. a must try!

The last time we ate here was about 15 years ago. We returned tonight for a delicious meal. The lamb chops and scallops were simply superb. The appetizer we shared was tasty but on the smaller side. It was a savory Greek bread pudding. I am giving this restaurant a 4 rather than a 5 for at least two reasons: most of the desserts are $14, even for ice-cream and baklava. Also, a glass of red house wine was $18. This time, we skipped the desserts. These prices seem much too high in comparison with the rest of the food menu.

We had New Years Eve dinner there last night.. The bartender made us some amazing drinks. The hostess was so nice and accommodating. The waitstaff was welcoming and checked on us frequently. The owner was amazing and made sure that we were enjoying every aspect of the experience. Now to the food. Every thing that we ordered was absolutely delicious. I can not wait to go back

Came here with a large party for my father’s birthday, and the experience was outstanding. We started with the dip medley and meatballs—both full of flavor without being too heavy. Most of our table ordered seafood, and everything was exceptional. I had the rockfish but also tried the Mediterranean sea bass and Dover sol; each dish was cooked perfectly and incredibly fresh.The staff was great. Black Olive is one of my favorite spots to visit whenever I’m in Baltimore. Highly recommended

My family has enjoyed many wonderful celebrations at The Black Olive in the last 10 years. Our recent experience was just a wonderful – we were seated in the wine cellar!! It was very special. The food was outstanding, particularly the fish dishes, although the entree options were fewer than normal since it was during Baltimore Restaurant Week. The good part was the menu made it easy to select an app, an entree and a dessert at a good price. Some of the appetizers were smaller portions than their usual size but still very nice. The staff was charming and the cellar cozy! The owner said hello at the end of our evening and it was truly a genuine conversation about family and food – all the love!

Celebrated the Valentine’s Day weekend in the Baltimore, MD area. Had the pleasure of dining at The Black Olive. Was able to get a table via OpenTable without any problems. Arrived at the restaurant and was greeted like we were family. Was quickly shown to our table, and our waiter was taking drink orders and bringing appetizers to our table. We shared the mushrooms which was a mistake, I should have ordered my own and my wife should have had one for herself. As we shared the appetizer our food came out within minutes. My wife had the fish, and I had the filet mignon. We’re talking mouth watering meals from start to finish. When we thought it couldn’t get any better, we ordered dessert. My wife took a bite out of her Baklava Ice Cream, and had the biggest smile on her face. Sadly, our dinner came to an end, and we had to leave. But, we WILL be back. If you happen to be in the Baltimore area, please check out The Black Olive, you will enjoy every single bite. Enjoy.

Lovely meal in the wine cellar at The Black Olive. The food was outstanding. Definitely one of the best meals that I have eaten in ages. Very memorable food, looking forward to going there again soon. I really, really wanted to give this place a 5 star rating but unfortunately the service was not great. The waitstaff seemed to disappear on us, we definitely would have ordered another bottle of wine but the server did not return. She also did not return with a seltzer water that was requested twice. I get it that some people in a private room might like to be bothered with checking in, but I think that we were not checked in enough. Also, I hate to mention this but it was very awkward when we left because we were told that there was a mistake running the credit cards that two of them were missed, when in fact in turned out that one of the servers had pocketed the $180 cash since two of of paid cash. I am hoping this was an honest mistake but it was definitely something that should not have happened. Again, the food was outstanding and the wine cellar was a great atmosphere. Hoping to give it another try soon.

Our friends who lived in Fells Pt twenty-five years ago got us reservations in the wine cellar at The Black Olive. We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience with multiple courses: apps, mains, salads, deserts, drinks and wine.
The service was attentive and helpful. Our food was perfectly prepared, promptly presented and so very delicious. You must absolutely get the baklava ice cream for dessert: best flavor in the world!!
The highlight of the meal was Alain the sommelier. He was exceedingly knowledgeable and suggested perfect wines, some with a personal touch.
I would highly recommend The Black Olive if you are looking for very fine dining in Baltimore.

The most amusing thing is how we found out about this place. We ran into the owners while dining at Gunther & Co and they were surprised we had never been! Based on how friendly the owners we figured why not!

We were not disappointed. The menu is vast and encompasses all of the Greek classics. We started with their delicious version of Chicken souvlaki.

After such a solid start we got our entrees. The lamb shank, Greek style lambchops and the lobster pasta. All were fantastic and the staff was more than willing to help with a wine pairing for me and my lobster.

For dessert we were excited about the baklava but fell in love with the baklava ice cream. The dinner drink pictured is their version of a brandy alexander which was quite tasty.

Highly recommend, we will be visiting again.
