A wonderful dining experience! Had a fantastic lunch at this beautiful restaurant! The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. A special touch was when they moved us to the same table we had shared 8 years ago when the restaurant first opened- such a thoughtful gesture that made our visit even more memorable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a special lunch, a date or with friends and family, as in my case. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service. We enjoyed a shared mixed hot starter, shared mixed main, and to continue the sharing, ordered cheesecake in two flavours, which they split in the kitchen for us. We tried something new to the menu: Avocado and Lime cheesecake - awesome! ~ Paula H
My partner and I have been once before for a family birthday a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. We booked a table for tonight, and it was nothing short of amazing. The restaurant is small but the seats are very well situated. It is very clean with beautiful decor which makes it a lovely relaxing place to eat. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a waiter, and was quickly shown to our table. We had drinks to our table within 10 mins of being seated at well as complimentary olives and bread! We ordered our starter which were perfect every way, as was our mains. There really was no complaints at all. The staff were very friendly and everything about the restaurant was above and beyond. I will be returning and highly recommend it to anyone that wishes for a quiet and delicious meal out. Thank you to all at The Olive House. ~ Sophia P
We were dining at a local Italian Restaurant but were let down by their unfriendly rude welcome so we walked to The Olive House nearby and despite not having a reservation had a very friendly welcome. I was a little upset when we were sat down as today is our wedding anniversary and it had started off being spoilt by the other restaurant but the warmth and friendliness of The Olive House person who welcomed us was so lovely, we had the most delicious meal and were given a very special plate of Baklava with heart shapes and two lit candles making for a lovely anniversary lunch, we also had photos taken to remember our special time there. Thank you for saving our anniversary lunch, we will have lovely memories now thanks to you. ~ Debz
