Olive, an urban dive is a locally sourced, mediterranean-american restaurant located in the old Wympee Diner (built in 1938) on the corner of Third and Wayne in downtown Dayton. We use as many local supplies as we possibly can and make everything from scratch... we don't even own a can opener or a microwave! We donate 20% of profits back to the community and recycle everything we can, which equals 85-90% of all waste and only carry compostable carry out containers, right down to our forks and cup lids! Our staff takes great pride in the length we take to be an environmentally sound restaurant and they help deliver all veggie scraps, coffee grounds and egg shells (averaging 60-90 pounds a week) to the composting bins at Garden Station. We have over 50 local farmers and purveyors which supply our needs throughout the year, providing 35-96% of all our product depending on the season and we have our own 800 sq ft garden where we grow a small percentage of our own product which is harvested on the way to work for the day. Olive is continually pushing the envelope on local sourcing and environmentally sound procedures and is proud to be a part of the Green Business Certification program!
