    Amazing food. Absolutely loved every plate. We just ordered all the vegetarian ones and some cake from the counter. House white was lovely too. Very pleasantly surprised when the bill came. Will be coming again.

    Impeccable food & such friendly service. My guest cancelled as I arrived so I decided to eat alone and the Jolene staff couldn’t have been more welcoming & accommodating. The food sensational as ever.

    The focaccia is unreal. 100% the best that I've ever had. We were sat at the counter which is not my favourite place to sit but this was made up for by the lovely member of staff we got chatting to. I was a little disappointed by the beef ragu paradelle and the squash and bean broth (it said it had chilli but this did not come through at all). The chocolate and ricotta tart was beautiful but would have benefited from a sharp berry coulis.

    All round perfect pick for a cosy Friday night dinner. Very tasty food and just the right amount was recommended although I think we’d have happily tried the whole menu. Very trendy decor and good atmosphere. My only criticism was feeling a little rushed through meal. I know it’s a Friday night but we were there and done in just over an hour and didn’t get any time to pause between courses

    Super tasty food and a great ambience. Have been meaning to come here for a long time and glad we finally did! Love the seasonal and changing menu - might be a bit hard for some to read (as it's only on a board) but this was fine for us as the waitress was super helpful and knowledgable about the food. The value is really good except the wine choices are a bit expensive - I'd recommend perhaps having a bottle of wine under £30 on the menu to be a bit more inclusive.

    This was an excellent meal - we had high expectations that were definitely met. Our servers were attentive and friendly without being too much and we came away having eaten exactly the right amount of amazing food. Brilliant, quality dishes in a wonderful atmosphere and having been to Westerns Laundry earlier this year which was a highlight, we found Jolene a wonderful more affordable sister restaurant with just as much character. Will definitely come back.

    The most buttery duck ragu I've ever had! Superbly creamy yet light polenta too. Stand out dish was the bavarois. Really great cooking all round, and lovely relaxed staff.

    super nice spot generally if you get placed in the dining area but terrible if you are by the glass sink, kitchen and toilet at the end of the counter - this table should not be used for service. service was great but not a nice relaxing environment when you are on the counter table at the end right by staff cleaning glasses right in front of you. i really didn’t feel the food was worth the price when sat in this spot. thankfully we asked to move to another table and we’re able to but by this time we were on our last dish.

    Jolene food is incredible. Booked for my partner's birthday, asked for a better table (two were available) & was refused which was disappointing, our server wasn't super interested in serving us well which was also v disappointing but hopefully just an off day!

    Friendly staff and absolutely delicious food. Portions was decent, and all plates are best shared (the menu also changes daily). The focaccia in particularly was the best I've had in recent memory - pillowy, soft, and drizzled with just the right amount of olive oil and rosemary. It definitely gets busy though so make sure you have a reservation!
