Hello & Welcome to The Olives Branch! I want to extend my personal invitation to come and experience Lebanon.I'd like to just take a moment to share a little about me and how The Olives Branch came to be my passion. The Olives Branch fine Lebanese Cuisine began in 2012 when my father and I opened the doors to this wonderful family restaurant in the city of San Juan Capistrano. Owning a restaurant has opened many doors and has given me the opportunity to meet so many great people all around Southern Orange County which I otherwise, would not have.  I am grateful to be able to be involved and contribute to the community in our time being open. We love to donate & volunteer our services for fundraisers to benefit many great schools & organizations which including,  St. Basil Greek Orthodox Church, Breast Cancer Bunco, Serra Catholic School, San Juan Hills High.I look forward to meeting you soon! Be sure to ask for me when you come to visit so I can come say hello!
