This was a delightful restaurant where the young enthusiastic chefs got to present their food. We really liked the fact that the culture was to showcase each person’s contribution to an excellent meal. Thank you we will come back.

wonderful meal for our 25th wedding anniversary, with 4 friends. Total 6 of us. Excellently and beautifully looked after by the Olive team. Food delicious and inventive. Lobster and a rhubarb dessert my favourites! A very nice setting, beautifully calmly decorated. Nobody too near the table and easy to chat even on rectangular table for 6.

One of us ate gluten and wheat free. This was no problem to the chefs, with minimal noticeable difference between the two taster menu meals we were served. The food was beautifully presented, and the tastes were incredible. As a rare treat, well worth the money, and we’d love to return.

The food was as good as you would expect from a restaurant with a Michelin Star! I especially liked the Lobster course, I don't usually like lobster all that much but this was fantastic! Clever, appropriate wine pairings too.

A fantastic dining experience in the heart of Bath. From start to finish, we couldn't fault anything. The food is divine, beautifully presented, and each course fully explained by the chef. Each mouthful of food was a taste explosion. Highly recommend a visit at least once!

Early confusion as to price when booked. Polite but we felt abruptly dealt with. Accept the price or we could leave. This was our first experience of a Michelin restaurant. The rest of the staff were really great and made our experience enjoyable.The food was excellent and superbly presented and served.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Best dining experience on our UK trip. We did the 5 course meal/ staff was very attentive to a shellfish allergy and had a completely different menu set up for that. No issues with cross contamination/contact. The rum old fashion and Hemingway daiquiri were on point. Only wish was that the desserts were as elevated as the rest of the meal.
