   Really great meal and brilliant service. Didn’t have everything on the menu given it was a bank holiday after Christmas but they provided some great alternatives and were excellent on the gluten free options.

   I am not a connoisseur of Greek food but I thoroughly enjoyed everything that we ordered. On all the occasions I have visited the Olive Grove, it has been either pouring with rain or bitterly cold, and it has been a warm, welcoming place to enter. The service is first class and the view of the courtyard attractive despite the weather. Locating it in the labyrinth which is the Lanes is not especially easy if entering from Ship Street or Prince Albert Street; the better route is up the side and of Hanningtons, and keep walking until you meet with the Olive Grove's courtyard on your left. That way you don't need to juggle with apps in pouring rain.

   The food was lovely, we had 7 dishes between us and they were all delicious. We also tried some coctails which were great. We all enjoyed our dinner, coctails and the service was very good. I highly recommend Olive Grove.

   Prosecco very overpriced at £38 a bottle. Meal for two over £160 - for tapas. It was good - but not that good!

    I expected better quality food. Whilst the sirloin was cooked wel,it had a lot of gristle. The calamari was tough and the salad okay but a bit unimaginative. Service was good, as you'd expect in a restaurant of that calibre. Go for a nice evening but not a shoot out the stars one. Expensive for what you get.

    Attentive staff, good atmosphere. We ordered and the first plates of food came soon after. The food was delicious and the staff were accommodating when we wanted a dish with no chillies. Not cheap when you take into consideration all the plates you have but the food was worth it.

    A lovely restaurant offering tapas style sharing food. Menu has some beautiful offerings but does feel a little limited and priced on the high side. None the lesss would go back again for a special occasion.

    The food turned up very quickly and it was amazing. Everything was well presented and delicious and the tapas-style portions were pretty generous. The interior is quite plain and the lighting was bright. It would make more sense in Greece, or even just at lunchtime, but it didn't feel right for dinner. They seemed to be playing Greek radio too, which is the wrong choice. It wasn't very busy on the night, that would have lifted it. I hope they do well though because the food is so good and the people were nice.

    5 of us ate, pre theatre, on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was very quiet but the the food was great, good size portions for "small plates" with plenty of choice. Service was attentive without being intrusive. The restaurant could have been warmer.

    We enjoyed the food - but not the service - too much not needed stress around the table - removing plates too quick. Too expensive.

    Food was lovely, few things that were noticed is that the front door was kept open the whole time so it was really cold. When we arrived it was really quiet so the waitresses kept coming over, we had two ask if everything was okay which can become invasive, a beer we chose they didn’t have, also asked for garlic Mayo which they didn’t have and then subbed it which another dip to which they charged us for but didn’t inform us that would be the case… also I think 12.5% tip automatically added it a bit cheeky for a table of two.. you feel like you have to pay it and to be honesty the fact you done that to begin with we was hesitant to leave more… but we probably would have left £10 if this hadn’t just been added on… the dip situation was a bit annoying actually, if you have something out of stock that is free you then charge us for a dip you have… odd.

    This was lunchtime so we were the only ones to start with. Met with very friendly staff and seated where we chose which was away from the speaker as we thought the music was a little loud for us - probably because the restaurant was empty at the time, we didn't actually notice it later when more people had arrived. They did offer to turn it down for us. Food was freshly made and brought to us as it was ready. Delicious and plentiful. Three of us shared 4 plates which was more than enough. My sticky toffee pudding dessert was enormous and the best tasting I've had in a while (I quite often have STP for pudding). All in all a great experience, very good service. I would return again and so would my dining colleagues.

    Three of us went for meal before a gig. Was very quiet (Sunday) but we were quite early. Service was excellent. We chose 7 different dishes, mainly vegetarian and fish. All were delicious, beautifully presented and clearly freshly prepared. Will definitely visit again.

    This is nice friendly place with the staff attentive. The style is tapas so we knew what to expect but the prices for the quantities were far too high. The menu is very small and as most of it was drinks it would be preferable if drinks menu was separate. the waitress was very pleasant and efficient. The bill came to £130 for 4 people and only person had 2 alcoholic drinks. If it was either cheaper or more food per plate then it would be somewhere i would choose to go back to.
