Fodor's Review:

One of the best Greek restaurants in the country, the Black Olive specializes in impeccably fresh seafood. Let the waiter give you a guided tour of the catch of the day, which reclines on a bed of ice in the kitchen case. You can have your selection simply grilled, lightly dressed, and filleted for you table-side, accompanied by a glass from the wine list's thoughtful selection of oft-neglected Greek vintages. For an appetizer be sure to try the kakavia, a spicy Greek bouillabaisse served with irresistible bread warm from the brick oven.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

We ate dinner here on Saturday night (1/26/08) and were very impressed. I had the Melitzanasalata and the beef tenderloin filet...both wonderful. My boyfriend had the Grilled Octopus Salad and the Dover sole (incredible!) Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The fish tour was interesting and unique. We are glad to have found this restaurant and will definitely be back!
