“ I recently had the pleasure of dining at Olive and Thyme, and I can't rave enough about this gem! The fusion of Mediterranean flavors is nothing short of spectacular. I started with the Red Lentil Soup Bowl, which was incredibly rich and comforting—perfect for a period day. Then, I moved on to the Nourish Bowl, a colorful and fresh medley that truly invigorated my palate. The highlight of my meal was definitely the Greek Meatball Bowl, which was a delightful nod to traditional recipes but with a contemporary flair. What I particularly appreciated was the extensive selection of gluten-free options, making it accessible for everyone to enjoy.

“ We stopped in here on a whim, the service was amazing! The food was reasonably priced for the portion sizes. They have a wonderful wine selection and they are in a great location in downtown Clearwater. Not too far from some major venues and a great appetizer selection! ”
“ Great little Greekish joint on the strip in Clearwater. I watched as it was fitted out and then opened its doors for the first time. Great food. I always get the chicken kabob pita wrap with a side of rice. Perfect lunch. The Greek orzo soup is also excellent, as well as the other items I’ve had there - which I’m ashamed to admit included some pistachio baklava. So damn good. They also serve beer and wine and have some very cool “off the beaten path” wine tasting events. Great owners, too, and staff. When you’re in the area you’d be well-served to give it a shot. You’ll go back. Provecho! ”
