Quite frankly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in terms of all round atmosphere, service, and food which makes it give it a solid 10/10. Wait staff were personable, attentive and explained everything. Front of house were also brilliant and made you feel welcome and got us a brilliant table. Would return again for business dinners and special occasions and when I want to enjoy the aquarium experience with fine dining. Magic touch was the chef came out to say hello too! PS: both local residents and visitors come here so definitely has the repeat customer draw
Had a delightful experience. Some dishes truly delivered an unexpected 'wow' factor, showcasing creativity and flavor. The staff were professional and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. The fish tank added a unique touch, creating a pleasant and calming atmosphere that made the evening even more enjoyable. I would recommend L'Olivo for a memorable dining outing!
Staff were lovely, very knowledgeable even on the aquarium, they were super friendly and attentive. We ordered separate starters and mains and instead of serving us different food they split our portions which was a nice touch as we were gunna share anyway
Simply unbelievably fantastic! The food, and the service was outstanding. The managers and the employees were phenomenal.
