We celebrated my husband’s birthday here travelling from Taunton to do so. Our evening was amazing, extremely attentive staff, a lovely setting and all our courses were impeccable. We really enjoyed every aspect of our evening, thank you.
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsGood attentive service, food imaginative and very tasty.
The Olive Tree Restaurant – Wellsvery enjoyable and imaginative food, particularly for the vegan, who really enjoyed the amazing dessert. A lovely setting and smart, polite staff, although they (the staff) were a little chaotic and occasionally left plates uncleared and glasses unfilled rather longer than you would expect in a place this expensive and otherwise classy.
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsExcellent Sunday lunch. Perfect in every respect! Really tasty food and nice ambience.
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsA good location in Wells, and lovely food. We especially enjoyed to Goats Cheese crostini, the Crab Linguini, the Mussels and the Beetroot en Croute. The Eton Mess was imaginative and good. A leisurely lunch.
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsWe had a Sunday lunch . It was okay. The outside area is a little underwhelming. The service was good and the food was okay but not outstanding as all the root vegetables seemed to have been frozen ones and then roasted so either not really roasted or like the roast potatoes - bullets However, the burrata starter was very good with the watermelon, so perhaps it's just the Sunday lunch combo which was probably a short cut for time. It was an extremely hot day so hats off to anyone in the catering trade to be honest!
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsOn a very hot day, the staff were charming and accommodating of our large pushchair/noisy (but cheerful) baby and various demands and we were not rushed at all. Food delicious. Highly recommended and we'll visit again.
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsGreat food. loved the choice of veggie dishes! fab service
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsLovely restaurant and food. We felt rather rushed with no proper periods between courses.

The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsNice looking place and clearly popular. Excellent service if a little rushed but that's not a problem, can handle that. Some lovely flavours with the food, which is very nice as a lot of these places fail to deliver. I had the poached chicken which was slightly over done and had no flavour particularly which is always a problem with chicken breast but the sauces made up for it. Personally cooking breast is an art 2 mins too long and you've over done it. The meat really should be brined in my opinion but I gave it a go and it was fine, nothing to write home about. Seabass was great. Something to consider is the mains are very limited, maybe 6 or 7 but I would imagine they are all very good. Is it expensive? Probably but if you can afford it, certainly won't be wasting your money unlike other places but there are plenty of people who don't need to worry about the price going here. Would I eat here again? Probably but would want to see the menu before booking, which you cannot do online as it's not kept up to date!
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsGreat food and a friendly and helpful waitress named Natalia.
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsWe came here for the first time for my partners birthday. It had good sized tables, comfy chairs and the music was not intrusive. Friends with us had been 3 times before and had recommended it... I can see why! Food portions are good (not too big, remember to order sides) and utterly delicious and beautiful. The variety of dishes was pleasing, and the menu changes frequently. The only gripe and it's slight... Is that our sides came 5 minutes after the mains arrived. Staff were friendly and helpful. We will 100% be back!
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsWonderful! Our first visit to the Olive Tree and definitely not our last. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food was excellent - full of flavour and well presented. My burrata and watermelon starter was fresh and delicate, the hake and white bean cassoulet was simply delicious. And the homemade rum and raisin ice-cream (served with coconut and custard tart) was amazing! My only (tiny) criticism was that the upper floor was very hot, but one of the servers brought a fan up to try and rectify. But...it's Summer. Don't let that put you off!
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsWill be back soon
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsGreat food, busy service but staff were so friendly. Highly recommend!
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsWe spent a lovely evening at The Olive Tree last week. Although the restaurant was busy the staff took time to make the experience personal and special for you. The presentation of the food was excellent and it also tasted delicious! (I had the hake.) Do save room for dessert - they were equally delicious! We would definitely recommend The Olive Tree if you are visiting Wells.
The Olive Tree Restaurant – WellsWe went here on Father’s Day and although busy the service was good. Food, especially the steak and the nut roast were excellent. Relaxed atmosphere and not overly pricey. Would recommend
