Reviews in Wells

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.

Staying in Wells for the weekend , had a wonderful meal here. My husband and I are both vegetarian, it was so nice that the vegetarian options were carefully thought about, not just adding a vegetable risotto to the menu. Everything well presented and delicious. Staff efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
