The Olive Tree in York

We thought this would be a perfect place with the setting but was a joke of a restaurant, ordered a steak and came with nothing else, no chips at least. Wood flooring was falling apart and waiter was wearing Nike 270 trainners while bringing the food over. Overall not what we would expect in York for classes places we tried. 👎🏻

We visited the Olive Tree tonight and could not have faulted the service. The food was delicious, service good and we would highly recommend. We are staying in York for 4 nights and planned to visit a different restaurant each night, but have decided to book here again for Saturday. The menu was diverse, with lots of options and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the mixed grill. Overall we had a very nice evening with good food.

Smelt awful when we walked in, like there were drainage problems. Even my young daughter said "I can smell poo mummy!"It was very off putting. The staff had no idea what was even on the menu when we ordered. The food was OK. Inside the restaurant was like a dumping ground especially near the toilets.

So sorry, having not taken any photos.The cannelloni’s were amazing.Followed by a fantastic Tiramisu.Well worth stopping in!!Friendly staff.

Great customer service, wonderful food and a great setting. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Always on hand to assist. We have visited a few times and are always happy. We will be returning again soon, I am sure!

Really nicely cooked meals. Enjoyed the open plan restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff. Maybe a bit overpriced compared to other restaurants. The duck leg was lovely and I enjoyed the King prawn bora bora.

Excellent food for a special occasion lunch, a varied menu with a Mediterranean focus. The service was friendly and efficient, food nicely presented. I had halibut which was perfectly cooked and presented in an unfussy way with roasted vegetables which were done just right - not greasy! I will return 😀

Lovely meal out with friends. Selected fish mixed grill. With roasted root vegetables. Fish was lovely just don't see the point of grated carrot garnish and spring onion. Fish was well cooked, light and seasoned well.Dessert was Tiramasu, luckily we got the last two pieces which was well worth it. Would definitely go again if I visit York again.

Last minute booking. Good service. Great food. Nice atmosphere & setting beside Clifford's Tower. Definitely be back when we next visit.

Quick and friendly service, we booked for 5:30pm but 4 parties walked straight in without bookings.The portion sizes are really good. The chicken and chorizo paella was gorgeous and they offered to take the rest away when we could only finish half of it.We only had one drink but £45 including tip for a meal of that standard and size is really good value.Top tips:1. Look at the menu online which has offers on which are not on the menu within the restaurant. 2. Ask for a window table and enjoy the view of Clifford’s Tower.
