Tucked along Main Street in Greenport, Olive Branch Restaurant & Bar brings a refreshing Mediterranean charm to the North Fork dining scene. Whether you're a local foodie or a weekend explorer, this restaurant delivers bold, fresh flavors in an inviting, casually elegant atmosphere.
The menu is a celebration of Mediterranean cuisine, drawing inspiration from Greek and Turkish kitchens. Begin with the mezze platter — a beautifully arranged assortment of hummus, tzatziki, dolmas, and warm pita that sets the tone for what's to come. The grilled halloumi and lamb lollipops are other must-try starters, packed with flavor and perfect for sharing.
For mains, the Chicken Shish Kebab is a standout — juicy, tender, and served over aromatic rice with grilled vegetables. Seafood lovers will appreciate the whole branzino, delicately grilled and finished with olive oil and lemon. Vegetarian diners aren’t left behind, with options like the stuffed eggplant and vibrant Greek salads that burst with freshness.
The drink menu features a thoughtful selection of regional wines and creative Mediterranean-inspired cocktails. The "Aegean Breeze" — a gin and cucumber-based cocktail with a splash of elderflower — pairs beautifully with the seafood dishes.
The ambiance blends rustic warmth with coastal flair. Wooden beams, soft lighting, and a cozy bar area make the space feel intimate yet lively. The outdoor patio is a gem, especially in warmer months, with twinkling lights and fresh sea air creating the perfect setting for date nights or group dinners.
Olive Branch strikes a balance between elevated cuisine and down-to-earth hospitality. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about the food they serve, making each visit feel special. Whether you're stopping in for cocktails and small plates or indulging in a full-course Mediterranean feast, Olive Branch is one of Greenport’s most flavorful dining destinations.
