Reviews in Wells

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal last night. Everything was perfect. The food was delicious,as was the wine. The service was top notch. Cant wait to return one day. Thank you so much.

The food is delicious, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming . There is a good choice of reasonably priced wine and the menu is well though out. I am already looking forward to our next visit.

Our second visit and did not disappoint. Great combination of flavours and excellent cooking. It especially pleasing to see quality vegetarian dishes. Deserts were a real highlight with such complexity of ingredients and flavours. We will be back.

Lovely place to eat, very welcoming staff . Excellent choice of food , which arrived well presented and tasted amazing . Will definitely be returning

Enjoyed Sunday lunch (29th October) great lunch, met the chef, hardworking and interested in bringing good food to Wells, as are all the staff. Wine was lovely and our autumnal crumble was delicious- so thank you, and a special thank you to Simon and Owen who are on hand for anything you need together with being friendly and great fun. Like Arnie- we’ll be back!

Lovely intimate and stylish setting for a wonderful meal. We loved the attention to detail and beautifully cooked food. The Albariño was also delicious!

My husband and I were visiting friends in Wells last Saturday for the city literary festival. We booked a table at The olive tree for an early dinner at 6. My husband is a wheelchair user but from the minute we arrived the staff were genuinely friendly accommodating and helpful. We had two courses and were totally delighted by the quality of the food. The hake was particularly delicious and it was all presented really well. Aware that we had limited time due to the literary festival the staff were very efficient in serving our food so we could leave on time. We had a really wonderful meal and I would highly recommend the restaurant and look forward to returning

The full marks say it all. We have been eating Adam’s food for well over 18 years and it never fails to disappoint, his sauces make me do a finger sweep.

We have been privileged to enjoy Adam's exceptional culinary skill since he was chef at Charlton House. In all that time (over many, many visits) the standard of cooking has been consistently high. The accent is on taste, texture & the balance of flavours. We always feel so much better for eating here, in fact restored, which reflects the true meaning of the French word 'restaurant'. The service is excellent & the atmosphere in the new premises welcoming & comfortable. May not be the cheapest, but it represents exceptional value because we have dined at other similarly priced or even more expensive restaurants where the food is not nearly as good.

Good to have a first class restaurant in Wells. like to see more people and atmosphere would then be great.

Had a wonderful late lunch at The Olive Tree. The food was amazing and extremely tasty. We had the chicken and the pork followed by the chocolate and lemon desserts. Fabulous service, great hospitality and highly recommended. We will be back perhaps to sample the dinner menu as that looks delicious too!

Had a delicious 3 course meal at the Olive Tree on 20th October. Service and quality of the food was excellent, would definitely recommend and visit again when we are in Wells.

Had a beautiful Sunday roast at The Olive Tree, beautifully cooked and well presented , service was also excellent. Would definitely recommend

Interesting menu with a good range of choice. Beautifully presented and delicious dishes. Stone bass was splendid. Chocolate delice fabulous as was the tarte tatin. Picpoul de pinet wine was sublime.

We had a wonderful evening at The Olive Tree celebrating my mums birthday. The service was warm , accommodating, engaging and efficient , the food (menu choice, quality, presentation, value, flavours) excellent, the wine delicious, and atmosphere buzzing and vibrant but not too loud that we had to raise our voices - we will definitely come again and also recommend it to friends and family

The meal we had was excellent and we have booked to bring our best friends due to fact it was so good. The young man that served us on Thursday was excellent and very welcoming and informative sorry I did not ask his name.

Went for dinner in October. Menu was lovely using local ingredients and reflecting the season. Mushroom and stilton soup was delicious. Overall good food, good service, decent price.

The food here is always outstanding - we live nearby and have been several times. Fish is the speciality of the chef, Adam, with several different fish dishes on the menu - with saffron sauce, or sitting on a bed of red cabbage, for example, with crisp skin and flesh cooked just right. short, very well selected wine list and Renaud is a knowledgeable and helpful waiter. Only complaint - after a starter and main course it was hard to find room for thevdelicious desserts.
