Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

Consisting la excellent. It is always a pleasure.

Amazing food , service professional team with complete flexibility thank you

We visited recently and were absolutely bowled over with our meal. We had three courses and each one was an exquisite gastronomic delight; rounded out with the gorgeous strawberry soup for desert. The service was perfect - knowledgeable whilst also being friendly and understated. The surroundings and ambience was both relaxing and inviting and lent itself perfectly to the evening as a whole. Looking forward to our next visit already. Genuinely can't recommend The Olive Tree enough.

Lovely food and staff. Alison keeps it simple; more should because it works for most of us. Thank you as always. Peter

Exactly what every neighbourhood needs - a straightforward restaurant serving good food in a place with a nice unpretentious approach. If you want flash or status, go elsewhere, this place is simple and honest, and the choice of fish is excellent. I found it on my last visit to Bristol, and loved it, so returned, and it didn't disappoint. Sole and Bream on the bone, both well cooked, and good starters of Mackerel pate with toast, and Calamari. None of it will change the world, and nor should it need to - just simple stuff, done well, and good service and a good ambiance. About £100 for two, with a starter and main, and a bottle of wine. So not exactly cheap, but certainly fair.

Fabulous food. We ate the £22 two course lunch with the addition of a glass of wine for £5 and thought it was fantastic value. It was our first visit and we will definitely return. The servers were good and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

This is one of my favourite places to eat. Relaxed atmosphere, gorgeous fresh food. Lovely staff.

I would reccomend this restaurant to my friends, a good start! Fridau lunchtime was quite the day we visited so quiet, but.... the food was very good

Warm welcome and good as delicious as always Thank you

Everything we ate was perfection! Can't believe we have only just found out about this lovely restaurant tucked away behind the cathedral. Relaxed atmosphere, attentive staff, attractive decor and wonderful food. Thank you for a lovely evening.

A perfect summer's day lunch. Each course light, beautifully cooked, flavoured and presented. A real treat to be looked after so well. Thank you

Welcoming and friendly staff - delicious perfectly cooked (of course) salmon with kedgeree. Coffee over ice-cream as no room for a proper pudding. Perfect

As usual the standard of cuisine was excellent. What more can one say! The atmosphere gets a lower score because it should have been buzzing! This restaurant deserves a full house.

Great food and service. Sadly the music / acoustics meant the lady we were with couldn’t hear us talk and found it all too much.

The staff are always super friendly and just so welcoming. This is such a homely place and the food is so fresh and cooked to perfection with very generous proportions. This is by far our top place to come to for family roast - Father's day and Mother's day were a realy treat! Can not recommned enough!

Exceptional experience. Food quality and presentation was outstanding as was the service. Highly recommended.

Dinner was lovely. We were only going to have 2 courses but everything was so good we ended up having dessert too. The strawberry soup was lush! Best ingredients, cooked well, presented well, service excellent and price (compared with similar others in the area) was reasonable too. Will defo be back. Thank you.

Relaxing atmosphere but our first course got served to customers behind us and we both had the fish stew which was delicious but 70% to 80% of the mussels were closed! Also we find the wine is not really up to standard but perhaps we have been unlucky
