Olive Tree - Carta

Good service, good food. Also, the restaurant does its own freshly baked gluten bread!

Good attentive service. Excellent food, really flavoursome but the menu choices are quite restrictive. You need to relish game or fish!

I need to have gluten free food. I was given some lovey gluten free bread with my own butter and olive tapenade. I don't think any of the dishes I ordered needed to be changed as they were all gluten free. It was a lovely meal as always. Ver carta

the olive tree is always a culinary delight. it is expensive what makes it a special estate restaurant for us. they offer 3 tasting menus, one of which is vegetarian. However, they can choose individual dishes from each of the menus in the style of a la carte. we love it. there was a recent change before the house staff and while super service the atmosphere was not quite as relaxed and jolly as it was, but I am sure that this was improving with the time.

If you go on Trip Advisor bad reviews are followed by very positive ones which is most pecular. Our experience on Saturday night was not great, indeed its hard to argue with 2 reviews posted by fellow diners, Sunday night someone posts a glowing tribute, directly contradicting the points made by the earlier reviews- at best it shows high levels of inconsistancy which is not what you expect from a restaurant charging these prices. All I can say is we wouldnt go again or encourage any one else.

Really like the olive tree in bath. I think the food is very good yet the atmosphere not too stuffy. Had a meal with three of my friends and was thoroughly enjoued by everyone. Including the amuse bouche which is always a nice little addition. Only downside was a long wait between the starters and the mains. Maybe either they could look to speed that up or another amusement could be offered. I dont recall whether this was an issue Ive had on other visits so it could potentially just be a one off delay either way id still go back! Ver carta

7 curs tasting menu on a Friday evening. beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff. when we had set ourselves, we ordered a glass of champagne, but these took about 15 minutes to come to the first time we were almost on the first course. it would have been nice to enjoy the champagne while we searched the menu. that was excellent and made us smile. there were quite long gaps between the curses that can sometimes be nice, but we were often asked where that was eating. this was compensated by the excellent sommelier, who was even a highlight of the evening. we were not in a hurry, and it was a pleasant night out.

Olive Tree was busy on Saturday evening. We enjoyed a fabulous meal. The complementary amuse bouche was roasted cauliflower veloutte a wonderful start to our meal. My wife enjoyed a duck liver starter. My 'chicken and egg ' starter was delightful, with a lovely soft poached yolk to accompany the chicken. For main course we had halibut a generous portion and very well cooked. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Guariguette a strawberry mousse with an excellent homemade pistachio ice cream my pistachio souffle was beautifully light and served with a raspberry sorbet. The service was first class, even though the restaurant was full. Little details like ensuring our water glasses were always topped u...

the olive tree was fantastic. it's not cheap, but it was just worth every penny. the staff was very attentive to the needs of nutrition, and only in general attentive, polite and well maintained. the service was amazing, and it was clearly very important for the staff. They served us a wee less than a minute later than intended and could not have been more apologetic, even give us a little extra wee, and then a pointed (although deserved) at the end of the evening! the atmosphere was really nice. it managed to be cool and modern while still cozy and warm. the food was ineffective. the bets for us were the sommelier. he loved wein and his passion was infectious and it was more great wein! so...
