Reviews in Wells

We had a family get together for 7 on a rainy Saturday lunchtime in late October. A lovely welcome and excellent service, with delicious , perfectly cooked food, would highly recommend!

Probably the best steaks we’ve had this year.

Excellent sunday lunch with top quality beef and chicken. The only slight disappointment was the yorkshire pudding which has taken a dip in quality compared to our last 3 visits.

Really lovely food, beautifully presented and with great service. The restaurant is quite intimate with a nice ambience. Prices are a bit higher than in other restaurants, but if you want food, service and a restaurant that is a cut above, then The Olive Tree will not disappoint.

Faultless! Great location, great food & great service from wonderful friendly staff - fantastic

Went here for my father’s birthday. The food was excellent as was the service. The music and atmosphere was good

We loved our evening at The Olive Tree. Amazing food, lovely wine and great service. Shout out to Louise. Highly recommended.

Lovely meal , interesting food combinations that really worked . We had the crab and mango cocktail ( husband ) he scaped the plate clean ! I had the goats cheese crostini with cherry compote , really good . We both had the fish with white bean cassoulet with spinach , absolutely lovely . Ordered the bread to wipe bowls clean. I had the blueberry creme brulee , the best I have had for years . Lovely restaurant with friendly staff . We will go again. Suggest booking as on an Thursday early evening only one table not filled.

Lovely experience many thanks

We had a great dinner here. There were four of us. I had the goat cheese, cherry crostini. It was delicious.. We had papparadelle, hake & seabass. All entrees were absolutely delicious. Great presentation & tasted wonderfully. The rocket salad was the only drawback. Very small & a sprinkle of parm on top. Didn’t have any dressing on it that I could taste. The semi freddo dessert is one of my favorites. It had some coffee sauce & was out of this world.

We had yet another wonderful meal at the Olive Tree Wells We would recommend it to anyone the staff are lovely

Very good service and excellent food although prices have become rather less good value than in the Olive Tree's early days....

We had an excellent meal on Saturday choosing the daily set menu which we thought very good value for money. The staff were very friendly & helpful. We all had 3 course, all were good. We did think that charging £2.50 for 2 small slices of bread to go with the salad was a bit much. The soups came with the same bread but the small salad didn't which was strange. We will definitely come back

Had a lovely evening Really enjoyed our meal

Staff and atmosphere was great. Food was enjoyable but some dishes lacked Finesse. I found the scallop dish was average. The dauphinoise was not as indulgent as I would like. The seabass main was tremendous and I loved the truffle fries. My wife said her halloumi starter and pouched chicken was tasty but she agreed about the potatoes needed more salt and cream but I guess that’s individual taste. I would go back to try the other dishes

Visited the Olive tree on a Friday night for a birthday meal. Nice setting, greeted upon arrival and promptly shown our to our table. One of us was vegetarian, it was nice to see more than one option available on the menu! Both of our dishes were amazing , full of flavour and nice presentation. Desserts were superb too. Service was attentive. Couldn't ask for anymore.

Visited the Olive tree whilst on a day trip from South Wales. Greeted warmly by staff on arrival, premises were beautiful. Offered water as soon as we sat down. Lots of choices went for the main menu, food was served and presentation and taste were amazing.

We visited The Olive Tree last weekend whilst visiting Wells to celebrate my birthday. The food was excellent and the service very efficient despite appearing fully booked. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.
