"This restaurant was recommended by several locals and the staff at our hotel in Aberdeen, MD. Walked in at 6:30 on a Friday night with no reservation. Waited about 40 mins and the meal was worth the wait. Our server Skyler was excellent and added to the enjoyment factor. My wife has special dietary needs and Skyler made an off-menu suggestion for her that was spot on. Our food was served hot and cooked to perfection. The chicken dishes were tender and tasty. The pasta was perfect. The salad fresh and crisp and the bread sticks were scrumptious. Portions are generous and the leftovers provided another complete meal for us the next day. The decor and ambiance are middle of the road and quite suitable for a family restaurant. The environment was very comfortable and the service exceeded our expectations. Thanks you, Skyler! If we had to come up with a negative here, it would be the high noise level. Then again, the place was full at peak meal time, so it wasn't a total surprise. We really enjoyed our dinner at the Olive Tree and will make it a point to visit again."
