Green Olive

"I'm giving it 5 stars cause I feel like Jeromy is an idiot. I have never eaten here. I think he wrote too much so it wasn't even worth reading. :)"

"I was introduced to Green Olive through MealPal. The idea is the restaurant only offers 1 entree to the service. You reserve it in advance and pick it up using a mobile app during your appointment slot. Ideally, the food should be ready when you arrive. The meal was a gyro wrap. It's located on the 3rd floor of the Crocker Galleria. When I walked in, I immediately felt the hot temperature inside the restaurant. You basically feel like you are in a furnace. So I check in to receive my meal, but it's not ready. Not a big deal, other restaurants who use the service can usually get me food within 2 mins if it's not ready when I arrive. I didn't think it would be a difficult task; especially since the lunch rush was over after 1pm. I've been waiting for quite a while and I start to notice that people who ordered after me were getting their meals (other wraps and things). There was also another gentleman who checked in with MealPal, 5-10 mins after me. So we are waiting and waiting and finally, the first MealPal order is ready and I'm expecting to grab my lunch and go. However, the guy at the register gives the MealPal to the other customer who checked in after me. So I walk up and say "excuse me, If that is for MealPal I was here first." The other customer starts apologizing and tries to give me his wrap, but I told him it's okay. I was not upset at the other customer, he didn't know. It's up to the restaurant workers to keep track. The person working the register told me "it's not a problem, we have another one." While I ultimately got me food shortly after, it's the principle of the matter. The employees didn't seem to care, heck even the other customer was more apologetic. I came in first, ordered first, but got my food much later than many other customers who ordered AFTER me. Plus the wait was super long compared to every other MealPal restaurant I've tried. To top it all off, the wrap was just okay. The tomatoes looked like they were overripe and the meat was a little bland. With so many quality restaurants in SF for Mediterranean food, you can find better. I usually use MealPal as a way to test restaurants and if I like what I get, I will return without MealPal. Won't be coming back."
