Delicious with excellent service! Easy to find. Friendly helpful staff. Seafood dishes looked good! Some tables outside which would be good in warmer months

To be honest, not great. Nice house red but food was bland, not what we’d been expecting. With a small menu, you’d expect the dishes to be amazing.

Our evening menu has between 37-40 dishes which I wouldn't consider to be small compared to similar restaurants in the area. I turns out I was also eating in the restaurant with my family on the same evening and also ate the pizza which was bursting with flavour so I was very surprised to read your review.

We visited here on the a Friday night and we got a table without booking the restaurant did fill up and was full by about 8pm. The first choice main was not available but the lamb chops which I had instead were very good. The service was very good and would recommend this restaurant to anybody.

Thanks for the review & sorry to hear that your first choice was unavailable. Over the Christmas and New Year period there is a very limited supply of fresh fish available as most of the markets are closed and bad weather at the beginning of January also reduced availability - & we don't buy frozen fish. We look forward to seeing you here again to try our new menu. Kind regards, Simon.

My partner and I booked into the Olive tree for a New Year’s Eve meal. We had never been here before, but without a doubt we will be returning. The food was fabulous, we couldn’t even pick a favourite dish as it was all amazing....from the tastiest prawns to the best steak I’ve ever eaten! We had the mixed platter of deserts and it was all just heavenly. The waitresses were always attentive and checking we were ok, and the owner, who was also serving customers, went out of his way to make sure all was as it should be.
Thank you for a fabulous evening, and as we are fairly local you can definitely expect to see us again 😊

I love this restaurant. The position is wonderful, the food is great & the owner is a lovely, warm & welcoming man.
Unfortunately on Thursday 16/12/17, when the owner wasn’t there, we were served by an older waitress who obviously thought it was funny to be offhand & rude to customers.
It’s not funny actually & it spoiled the evening for us.
It wasn’t only us she was being rude to, I heard her doing a similar thing to another table. Some people might think it’s funny, we didn’t but she was totally insensitive to that.
The food that we had was very well cooked & to a really high standard but the waitress really shouldn’t be working there if she thinks that it’s beneath her standing in life.
