Olive Terrace Bar & Grill | Our Story

A family kitchen in Santa Clarita

Olive Terrace Bar & Grill started as one family's idea of what a neighborhood restaurant should be — fresh, generous, and genuinely welcoming. More than two decades later, it still feels exactly like that.
How it started

How it started

Ray Javaherpour and his family have called Santa Clarita home for over twenty years. Olive Terrace grew out of that belonging — a place to feed neighbors the way you'd feed family.

Every sauce is made in-house, every piece of seafood ordered fresh that morning. It takes more effort — and it's the reason the food tastes the way it does.
Cultures at one table

Cultures at one table

Charbroiled koubideh beside homemade pasta, Persian saffron rice next to a wood-fired filet mignon. Great food has never needed a passport — and neither has this menu.
The terrace itself

The terrace itself

Every hanging basket, string of warm lights, and climbing vine was chosen to make guests feel transported the moment they sit down. On music nights, it feels less like Valencia and more like somewhere you'd save up to visit.
