Olive Tree - Bath

The olive tree was fantastic. it's not cheap, but it was just worth every penny. the staff was very attentive to the needs of nutrition, and only in general attentive, polite and well maintained. the service was amazing, and it was clearly very important for the staff. They served us a wee less than a minute later than intended and could not have been more apologetic, even give us a little extra wee, and then a pointed (although deserved) at the end of the evening! the atmosphere was really nice. it managed to be cool and modern while still cozy and warm. the food was ineffective. the bets for us were the sommelier. he loved wein and his passion was infectious and it was more great wein! so well we have forgotten to ask for the names of those we really liked. oops!

Excellent, a real tasty bite. without doubt one of the best restaurants in bath.

7 curs tasting menu on a Friday evening. beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff. when we had set ourselves, we ordered a glass of champagne, but these took about 15 minutes to come to the first time we were almost on the first course. it would have been nice to enjoy the champagne while we searched the menu. that was excellent and made us smile. there were quite long gaps between the curses that can sometimes be nice, but we were often asked where that was eating. this was compensated by the excellent sommelier, who was even a highlight of the evening. we were not in a hurry, and it was a pleasant night out.

The olive tree is always a culinary delight. it is expensive what makes it a special estate restaurant for us. they offer 3 tasting menus, one of which is vegetarian. However, they can choose individual dishes from each of the menus in the style of a la carte. we love it. there was a recent change before the house staff and while super service the atmosphere was not quite as relaxed and jolly as it was, but I am sure that this was improving with the time.

I need to have gluten free food. I was given some lovey gluten free bread with my own butter and olive tapenade. I don't think any of the dishes I ordered needed to be changed as they were all gluten free. It was a lovely meal as always.
