| Review: The Olive Tree – Great Food, Poor Service | Part |
|---|---|
| Last weekend, I visited The Olive Tree, an Italian restaurant in Giza. While the food was excellent, the service was disappointing. | |
| When we arrived, the waiter took a long time to greet us. After we ordered, it took over 30 minutes to get our drinks. However, when the food arrived, it was hot and delicious. The waiter was polite but seemed very busy. | |
| Overall, I enjoyed the food, but I expected better service for the price. | |
| I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for a special occasion, but it might be okay for a quick dinner if you're not in a hurry. |
