I absolutely love Green Olive. I have celiac and have never had an issue with food, and they have so many options! My only issue is they close earlier than their hours say and it’s not super close to where I live, so when I finally get through my day and am SO looking forward to a good calzone, they’re closed hours earlier than it says online. That has been and is my only issue and it’s so disappointing to me as I can’t get this kind of food everywhere, driving over half an hour away and craving the food to find out it’s closed it so sad :(.

Tried this place the other day - super tasty and clean food! Love that everything is vegan, gluten free, and I think most of it (or all?) is organic. I’d be back frequently, but I live over 2 hours away. I wish I lived closer or that there was healthier restaurants like this near me. I will absolutely stop by again if in the area. I will say it was on the pricey end for me (we got a taco bowl, a sandwich, 3 beverages, and a mini muffin for $60), but I’m not from the area nor do I usually spend that much eating out, including at plant-based places local to me. If you’re from Ridgefield or surrounding areas you might not find it expensive, though… it’s all relative. Plus, you’re getting top quality clean food.

I love that this restaurant has gluten free options and takes allergies seriously! I wasn't thrilled with the service tho. My husband and I made a reservation Friday evening for a date. I picked on open table a standard table, assuming that's in the dining area not the bar. When we arrived, they were busy and it appeared they ran out of tables so they seated us at one the extended tables from the bar. I wasn't happy with the experience there, although the bartender took our orders quickly and was friendly, no one ever came back to check on us. I had a request for extra sauce but no one came by. I would have rather waited for a table than be seated at the bar, because you don't make a reservation to just sit at the bar.

Visit this place a few times a month, as it’s our favorite restaurant for date night. My wife has gluten and dairy allergies and I can eat pretty much anything, and we both have plenty of options. My absolute favorite is the mushroom taco as well as the glazed pork belly and Baja fish taco! Don’t sleep on the street corn either. Tastes just as good as getting them from a guy making them out of his cooler on the streets of El Paso (I passed through El Paso on our way to Disneyland and this guy had a crowd surrounding him). Plantains are a nice sweet treat. Definitely check out their secret tacos!
