The Olive Tree Cafe

Used to be a great place but feel like it has gone down. The crowd was sparse for a Thursday night especially on Halloween weekend. Didn’t stay for long.

Always love coming here. Great food, great wibe, great prices, love drawing with the chalk on the tables. I have been coming here for over 40 years. Thank you!

Phenomenal service by Gia B. A perfect spot for a great meal and strongly poured drinks before a comedy show. I loved that they kept us aware of the time before the shows started. Can not rave enough about the service. Voir le carte

Been going here for over 30 years. My absolute favorite spot in the whole city. Chalkboard tables, delicious food, and Charlie Chaplin movies on a loop. I hope it never changes. (I do miss when they would cook the food right by the entrance.

Great food (nachos are bomb), and great music. We had a res and they did have us sit outside for 20 min past it, but when we got in they had a table near the stage saved for us and the food/drinks service came quick, so that made up for it. Vibes are 10/10, loved the band so much we followed them to their next gig that night. Most people end up getting up like it's a concert, so just do that early if you're short.

You would expect Buffalo wings in New York to taste good, or at least decent. But their wings were disappointing at best, and I've had better anywhere else. You would also expect plates at a restaurant, but they didn't give us those either. The Walnut pesto pasta tasted good, but the pesto seemed missing. They may have come up with their own version of it. But the vibe was nice and they have a cool comedy club downstairs. Voir le carte

Best wings... traditional spice but this wild hint of perfect depth and sweetness (almost). Great drinks, friendly service, and it's the MOST FAMOUS PLACE TO SPY COMICS IN THE WORLD. How can you pass up tasty food, good times, a beverage, and seeing iconic and hilarious people that spread joy all over. It's not midscale, but it's no dive. It's one of my favorite New York experiences, and can't wait to be back over and over.

Very tasty Middle Eastern platter with large portions. It was just what I needed in NYC after two days of mostly sandwiches. A side order of lamb skewer was very reasonably priced. Overall, pricing is very reasonable and I would definitely return to this Village spot. Staff was friendly in person and over the phone. Fun to see old reels of Charlie Chaplin. Obviously, if you’re into laughs, the comedy club is below and around the corner is the Minetta theater.

I had the pleasure of dining at Olive Tree Cafe recently, and I must say, their Mac and Cheese left me absolutely delighted! It's been a while since I've tasted such a divine combination of creamy, cheesy goodness and perfectly cooked pasta. The dish was a true masterpiece. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the portion size was generous, ensuring I left with a satisfied smile on my face. The ambience at Olive Tree Cafe added to the overall experience, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The friendly staff made my visit even more enjoyable, providing excellent service throughout. If you're a Mac and Cheese enthusiast like me, do yourself a favor and visit Olive Tree Cafe. You won'... Voir le carte
