Description

we were the first Blue (water) and Green Certified restaurant in our area, we compost or recycle 90+% of all our waste. even our building is recycled!!! we converted the inside of a 1938 greasy burger diner, into one of the healthiest restaurants around!!! (we left the outside exactly the same, so it still says WYMPEE on the outside!).

we have our own 800sq.ft. garden for emergency supplies to supplement our family of over 30+ farmers and we just were given over an acre of land to start our own test high tunnels and bees!!! we're active in our community, advertising almost exclusively by participating and donating in local and charity events and we donate 5% of all sales on 'frack your diet' Fridays to organizations researching and fighting for safer ways to tap our natural resources (and the food is all about comfort, and maybe a few extra calories, on Fridays!)

everything we do is totally from scratch, from the most local ingredients we can find! we don't own a can opener or a microwave, but we do have 50+ local farmers and purveyors on speed dial!!! (including all local bakers, dairy, honey, syrup, jellies, free range beef, chickens and nitrate free pork, ice creams... even our vanilla extract is distilled locally!) and we make all our own dressings, pestos and hot sauces as well as some of our own cheeses from local produce and dairy products!!

our motto: local over import, labor over convenience and service over everything else. we chase chickens, when we say free range.... we mean it.

your locally sourced, mediterranean, american restaurant in the old wympee diner downtown, dayton! we're gluten free, vegan and paleo friendly!!!

open for brunch on Saturdays 10a-3p, lunch M-F 11a-3p and dinner Thurs-Sat from 5p-10p!!! we post photos of all our specials on our facebook and twitter pages (olivedive), so please check us out!
