We had the most wonderful time at Olive Branch. I went there with my friends for a weekend reunion and it was the most relaxing and wonderful time. We sat outside on the patio and had absolutely delicious food and wine. Our server Amy was...AMAZING. She was so kind, attentive and provided exceptional service. We started with the large cold combination platter as an appetizer and it was so yummy... you get the perfect variety to sample all the delicious appetizers...would highly recommend to start with this. Overall we had an exceptional experience and I can't wait to go back again.More

The grape leaves were incredibly delicious, and the portion sizes were impressively generous. The standout, though, was the impeccable service that truly enhanced the overall experience. This gem was another recommendation from The Menhaden, and I must say, it was a great choice.

Amazing Turkish Cuisine, generous portions attentive service. We are lovers of Greek Cuisine so thought we would give this a try. We were not disappointed. The wait staff could not do enough. The Turkish wines a delight. The food, beyond expectations. The owner thought our...leftovers were a matter of dissatisfaction (just a matter of too much food) and offered to replace our entrees free of charge. It's that kind of family business.More

We were greeted by dusty dishes and goblets. Our waiter, also the owner, was rude and would not answer any questions. Last straw was the hair in my food. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

Olive Branch isn't what you'd call cheap, but few decent restaurants in Greenport are. But we had a nice kebab dinner with a pretty decent bottle Turkish red. Service was friendly and efficient.

Recommended by friends as being terrific and they were right. The Dorada fish special was done perfectly. I especially like the octopus. The flavors added to all dishes perfectly complimented each. A must try place.

We stumbled on Olive Branch one night as a casual option in town and were very pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious and fresh, it had a lovely ambiance eating outside, the service was excellent and the owner checked in several times. We also realized...we left our credit card there after we had left the area and the owner went out of his way to send it back to us. We were very impressed and will definitely be back anytime we are in the area!More

Came here with my sister and brother in law who live in Amagansett for lunch having visited three years previous, we weren’t sure if it would have survived the pandemic but yes it has and just as good as before. The food is amazing and...so well presented the lamb was to die for. The gentleman who served us was called Yusuf and he was very friendly and attentive. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.More

Roasted eggplant was an interesting and tasty twist on babaghanoush with larger chunks of eggplant. Seed salad was a really unique blend of greens, parsley, raisins, bulgur, etc. Really fresh and zesty. Lentil soup was pretty good, but only slightly warm. Grilled lamb was quite...tasty. Pita wasn't as soft and hummus not as creamy as other typical middle eastern restaurants. Grilled shrimp was ok, but nothing special. Live piano music was nice, but a little too loud for the space. Nice atmosphere, but a bit expensive.More

Olive Branch is nestled into a uniquely decorated courtyard across from the carousel on the fabulous Foodie Front Street in Greenport. Our first time was on a rainy Friday evening so we ate inside and had almost the entire restaurant to ourselves. Our waiter was...very helpful in aiding us in narrowing down all the dishes we were eager to try. The wine decision was much easier as we both love trying wines from the regions of the food we are eating and they had plenty Turkish exports! We started with Eggplant Istanbul and Haydari. Both were very good and came with plenty of warm pita. The entrees we selected were Kavurma and Tantuni. Both were very good and rather large portions. One of us took half of theirs home. I loved the seasoning on the Tantuni (lamb) and asked for more to moisten the jasmine rice and vegetables. We were so full we decided to skip dessert. However, our waiter really wanted us to try their Baklava, on the house, and it was excellent! Next time we will save room. Olive Branch made a very dreary and chilly Friday night a hit because of the great food, warm atmosphere and terrific service.More

Delicious food, excellent service, pleasant outdoor seating. My husband and I enjoyed our meals so much we went back a second night. On the first night, we shared grilled spanikopita for an appetizer. I had the vegan meal, which was sauteed vegetables in a red...wine tomato sauce. So delicious! My husband enjoyed the tantuni (lamb) very much. The wine was very good. The wait staff were so helpful and friendly, and they guided us in our selections. We loved the meals so much, that we asked to go back the next night. We changed up our orders and were just as pleased. The bakalva is amazing, not too sweet or oily. We will definitely travel to the Olive Branch again.More
