Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

Another delicious lunch at The Olive Tree on 20th Sept. We have now visited The Olive Tree four or five times in 2025 and have always been impressed with the quality of food. Clearly the Chef and team use high quality ingredients that are well prepared and cooked. Also, a keen eye is used for presentation. Wines are also highly palatable. Service good too. On this visit, we brought some friends for lunch and they too were suitably impressed. Thank you to all the staff at The Olive Tree and we look forward to our next visit. We have no hesitation in recommending The Olive Tree in Wells.

Absolutely amazing as always!

We went here to celebrate my graduation from university and it was fab. Food was great, staff were friendly and the atmosphere was cool. It was everything I like in a restaurant, I will be back.

This was our second Mezze evening and it was a good as the first time we came, delicious food and friendly service.

Delightful: tasty, well presented 2-course Sunday lunch and sensibly priced pleasant wines. We were passing through, and may do so again.

The food was fab ! on our visit, we had the smoked trout & beetroot niscoise , the Persian chicken burger & laffa wrap would highly recommend all 3. We had raspberry with sparkling water which was moreish. If you haven’t been… go!

A lovely restaurant, very friendly and the food was incredible. Very cheap in comparison to other places I have been

Lovely welcome from all staff. Excellent service. The Meze was amazing full of colour and flavour. The choice of cakes was great and they tasted as good as they looked.

Last minute arrangement to have lunch. Easily booked on line. Fabulous food as always.

A wonderful birthday lunch enjoyed by my friend - we were celebrating - and myself. Excellent meal, tasty rose wine and superb service. Highly recommended.

Really cool new place, unfortunately the view is on the car park but the atmosphère inside is really welcoming

Lovely food and great service. We’ve been regular customers since Petra and Simon opened The Olive Tree 3years ago, including some important family celebrations. Long may their success continue- they deserve it!

We had the most wonderful lunch time meal prior to a meeting. We will certainly be back. I love scallops and mussels and they were cooked to perfection. My hubby had the crab linguine and he to throughly enjoyed ever mouthful.

Absolutely delicious food, beautifully presented. A real treat.

I've written a few reviews for this gem of a restaurant. Nothing has changed. It's still one of the best places to eat around here. Such friendly staff, comfortable surroundings, and delicious food that never disappoints. What more could we want!

Really lovely meal. Nice restaurant. The guys there were lovely. Helped us choose the food which was delicious. Would recommend.

Lovely spot with interesting decor and inside/outside seating options. The carribean inspired food was refreshingly different and plentiful, so good value for money. It was difficult to make a choice from the cake table, but the vegan carrot cake must be tried!
