Olympia Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
This is an excellent restaurant!! The food is delicious—home cooked, authentic, large portions, and resonably priced. The service is superb, Anna is the best-knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant. You cannot go wrong eating here . . .
Everyone here is so kind and welcoming. I had the ham, egg and cheese croissant and my husband had eggs Benedict. Both were delicious! The waitress recommended Scrapple, which we had never tried. Not disappointed. Very very good! Cannot recommend this place enough! 10/10 from us. Very satisfied!
I was very happy to hear that The Olympia Restaurant had reopened after being demolished by Hurricane Ian and rumors that they may never be coming back. Well they’re back with bells on! They reopened 2 months ago. So I was so happy to be driving down the Tamiami Trail and noticed to my delight that the lights were on! I parked my car and walked into the new remodeled restaurant all brought up to date, clean and spiffy! Ian take that and shove it, lolI was seated at my table and ordered a nice Hot cup of Tea and Anna (a very nice Greek woman )was my waitress and didn’t forget my water. made me happy. I ended up adding sugar to my water instead of my tea cup and Anna got me a new one as we laughed on getting older. Was nice to have a waitress who was happy to assist you instead of looking at you as if you had two heads. I was so excited about them being open that I asked Anna what was some of her favorites. I mentioned the fried fish but my eye caught the Salmon Piccata and she agreed that was one of her favorites so I went on faith and ordered that and a salad . I am a very good cook myself and love and cook various cuisine. I was NOT disappointed. The salad was large and lovely with honey mustard. Delish , it was served with warm bread with the salad . When my dinner came out, I was just finishing my salad, perfect timing! Bonus! The plate was served hot and was pleasing to the eye and a nice clean presentation. The Salmon, a nice serving , not too big and not to small, the Angel hair Pasta I chose as one of my sides, is a rare choice for me because not many chefs cook it well it’s usually overcooked and clumpy. I took a bite of that Salmon perfectly cooked , the flavor as it should be, bursting with flavor, covered in wine ,lemon, garlic sause with a wonderful array of capers , not skimped on . But masterfully done Bravo Antonio, my compliments Sir to this Chef! So if you’re looking for great Greek food and some Italian plates. You must try Olympias! She’s been in business for quite awhile and pssst the tzatziki sause is the real thing. Not some fake formula of ranch dressing with cucumbers I have seen in some wannabe restaurants. So Dear readers, good ambiance ( good soft Greek music) good food and great service. You can never go wrong and I certainly appreciated thatPS I took a Gyro home and a nice piece of Baklava for my lunch the next day so I spent more than my normal and happily so.
This is my favorite spot in Port Charlotte. Greek, Italian, and American menu. The food is amazing and the staff is fun. A local favorite for 42 years.
Hungry? Do you want a great meal in a calm and cool environment? Olympia is the place! They make their bread and sauces from scratch and it is divine! The restaurant is clean. The staff is friendly. They have booths and tables. The food came out fast. We had: Salad- freshly cut w/red French dressing Chicken Alfredo Chicken parmigiana Home made fresh bread w/real butter. I definitely recommend Olympia- they were perfect.
Got the hungry man special had never had biscuits and gravy before but im a full convert. Had scrapple which is always a bonus. Server was very friendly and helpful able to serve a larger party (7) with absolutely no issue no mistakes at all. I had previously ordered the gyro platter for dinner and that was great as well
Myself and a friend drove from Fort Myers and glad we did. Out first time here. Restaurant was clean, Katelynnen, our server was friendly, made our 40 minute drive enjoyable. Breakfast was excellent and inexpensive. Will definitely come again.
Got to love a great Greek Restaurant. Highly recommend the Gyro or the Greek Salad. Service was good.
