Fantastic food and excellent service. I can't fault anything and totally enjoyed a leisurely meal not rushed in any way.

Great food, lovely staff too. Waitress liked my Babymetal t shirt so is, obviously, very awesome!

Had a family member come up from wales for a very important visit with our family booked a double room fir herself and her 9y old son who has a disability, and she was very disappointed to walk into a room with mould at the door area shower head disgusting had to be taken down and washed before use abd dust everywhere now surely in these times of covid these rooms should be in perfect order not having a mum worrying about laying her and her sons head down on the pillows as most of us would with the room being in an awful state, there recompense was 50% off next time you stay, we'll she won't be staying there again, so nothing returned only gained for the olive , not good enough

We had stayed in one of the rooms for the night and I was upset to find the air con unit wasn’t air con and was a cheap fan, there are no windows making the stay veryclaustrophobic.Whilst outside the rooms and enjoying drinks and food on the tables provided we were asked to move around the corner because of other guests.I find this un acceptable and wouldn’t recommend these rooms to anyone.Also paint was falling off the walls, and there was no storage.

A little late with my review as I don’t want to seem mean but sadly was very disappointed with our visit! My partner booked a table 14/06 to celebrate my 50th. After having been to The Olive numerous times it seemed like an obvious choice 😊.. Table was booked for 7.15pm, we arrived at 7pm, drinks were served promptly and order was taken at 7.15pm. At 7.45pm still no starter (mixed meat/breads/cheese etc). During our 30 min wait a table of 4 were seated and their starter served promptly (exactly the same as we had ordered). After several visits to our table from the server, him saying ‘you ordered the meat and cheese platter, I’ll see how the kitchen are doing with that’ he then came back at 8pm to say this dish was no longer available as they had run out of meat. What on earth?!?!… 5 mins later another server came to the table and asked if there was a problem? We explained ‘THE PROBLEM’ to be asked would we still like to stay for our main course?..Errrr NO! Completely disappointed we left. In their defence they offered for us not to pay for our drinks and asked if we’d like to make another booking. After leaving we walked 30 seconds down the road and The Gate of India came to our rescue with a yummy curry, all ordered, served and finished for 9pm! EDIT* I will add the staff were very friendly - but organised chaos!

Best find in market rasen. They were fully booked (got to be a good sign) but still managed to seat and serve us. We ate late and unfortunately a couple of dishes were sold out but as the place was packed I wasn't surprised.. although advertised as tapas the portions were somewhere between large and huge! For instance the chicken/chorizo from the specials board was easily a full size meal in itself £5.50They also offer 5 tapas for £20 and I doubt two people could eat all five !! Great value for money. Very tasty food, pleasant helpful staff. They also offer rooms to the rear of the property (think of a terraced row of chalet/motel rooms vibe) which are small but perfectly adequate, again great value for money. Clean, include tea, coffee, ironing board, iron, hairdryer, TV, nice shower room... Can't fault the place, give it a go !!

Stumbled across this great place completely by chance and I think we were their first customers for food. It's a shame that we're not local as I would definitely go back, the food was great, reasonably priced and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. It was their first night and I hope that they go on to have the success they absolutely deserve, a fantastic find.

Ate here with friends, nice place, good atmosphere, very reasonably priced meal. They were a bit short staffed to deal with a fully booked restaurant and that did let the evening down a bit. I'd like to see some more adventurous vegetarian dishes.

·

Beautiful food and a great atmosphere! My daughter and I were very well looked after all evening and we would definitely go again!

Lovely meal with friends and colleagues. Staff friendly, food great and atmosphere just right.
