Olive Grove was a favorite of ours many years ago and finally decided to try it last night...just be aware that it can be pricey especially if you order drinks. Our bill for the two of us was $119. We each had two drinks, one entree was stuffed lobster tail (34.95) which was over cooked and tough, the stuffing of... More

This restaurant probably had some of the best crab cakes I have tasted so far. The salad and breadsticks were pretty good as well but really enjoyed the entrée. I would highly recommend this restaurant to people visiting the area. I have not tried the Italian dishes but will on my next trip.

I've been here several times to get crabcakes. The used to be just like G&M. Now there terrible like Timbuktu's crab cakes. No lump meat from backfin. It was made of the cheaper shredded meat. I'm never going back again. Salad was overly dressed to the point it was soggy. My wife and I shared to 2 crabcake platter. Since... More

We had a group reservation on a busy night with the line flowing out the door. This is an informal restaurant with a large menu selection and large portions. The food is very well prepared. I had a seafood/crab entree which was very fresh and cooked just right. The desserts looked wonderful but the portions are so large I was... More

Was recently visiting Baltimore after living here years ago and Olive Grove was recommended to us as a great Italian restaurant. I admit I am picky about Italian, but, for the prices they charge (>$20.00) for an entrée I had expectations. The portions are huge, but, the taste mediocre. Service was great - our waitress was attentive & personable. The... More

Large portions, so if you have a healthy appetite, you will not walk away hungry. Very friendly staff and service. The decor needs a some refreshing and a little more modern Italian renovation; somewhat of a warn out appearance. Salad was all iceberg lettuce, but a big plate full. Food was okay, nothing to remember and did not have depth... More

Visited this restaurant a few weeks ago on a Sunday. Arrived at 12pm (opening time) and was seated within 5 min of entering the restaurant. We were greeted by a friendly lady. The waiter came by and took our drink order, which were lemonades. The lemonade wasn't really sweet so in my opinion it wasn't really good. My husband ordered... More

A bit pricey for what you get. The food is okay, but nothing to write home about. Years ago, it was much better. Maybe they have gotten greedy, or maybe I have gotten cheap.

The overall presentation of the food is really lacking at this resturant. It remainds me of a home meal where the person at the head of the table just slopped it on the plate. Not very apetizing. The crab cakes were about what I could get in the mid-west, not what I expected from a Baltimore establishment. Really disappointing. The... More

We recently had dinner here as a party of 5. There was a funky smell upon entering. We were quickly sat at a table which was VERY close to the neighboring table leaving very little room. This is nothing like Olive Garden! The breadsticks had NO flavor. The mixed drinks were so strong we had to send them back. The... More
