Hope & Olive,

44 Hope Street, Greenfield, MA 01301

"The food, atmosphere, and drinks are incredible at Hope & Olive. My partner and I loved the Brussel sprouts, focaccia, and beet salad. It’s one of those places where you wish you had more room in your stomach so that you could try everything on the menu."

"Incredible food. Hands down our new favorite! My husband and I had the Lamb Burger and the Caribbean Chicken and WOW!!! Also the cocktail Earl Grey was to die for. I wishing could give it 10 stars! Thank you H&O!"

"Have been here for both lunch and dinner. Both were very good. They have an excellent bar menu and drink selection. The appetizers are terrific, especially the buffalo Brussels sprouts. The LEAST outstanding area is actually the entrees, although everything will still be good. Good service, also."

"Lovely little place. The food and drinks are outstanding and the staff and owner are very friendly and always seem to be cheerful. I highly advise making reservations though. It's pretty much always packed, for good reason. I recommend the French pear Martinis. I can't find them anywhere else and they are absolutely delicious. The flavors here are great and unlike most places they seem to take the time to season their burger meat, making the burgers here taste so much better than many other places in the area. I like to get mine with goat cheese which is something else that's hard to find elsewhere but I personally enjoy very much. The atmosphere is also very nice. The decor gives it a warm cozy feel and everything is spaced out so you don't feel crowded."

"Hope & Olive is a small restaurant in the center of Greenfield, on a side street that offers you views of the temporary fire station and the brick walls of the courthouse. It has a gorgeous bar. The staff are incredibly friendly. The coffee was weak. I was there for an hour and a half, and only managed to get one refill. The server was friendly but not very available. I was a party of six, and we ordered various items from the brunch menu. Pictured is the Big Ol' Greek platter. Advertised as a lamb burger with dolmas, tahini, pita, feta, and olives. Came as a pre-shaped ground lamb patty tossed on top of some baby spinach, no bun or cheese or topping, no pita, four olives, two crumbs of feta, and a watered down drizzle of tahini. Two unadvertised falafel nuggets, deep fried rock hard, were included. One intact dolma. One member of my party ordered waffles and it came with a massive lump of something he wasn't sure was whipped cream or whipped butter; its proportions suggested whipped cream but there was no sugar. He just put it to the side. One member of my party ordered the Polish platter and said it was "a mess". A lifelong vegetarian ordered the vegetable frittata but found it "too weird" to finish. The creme brulee was amazing. I find it important to add that this restaurant is extremely popular with its regular patrons, and at this brunch was absolutely packed with people. The acoustics are such that the volume was louder than a high school cafeteria. Conversation with anyone not sitting next to you is impossible."
