Olive Tree Restaurant Buxton in High Peak

We dined on Friday and we have been before which was lovely but unfortunately our experience of the place now is disappointing. A man came over to take our order and leaned on our table to do it extremely rude .. we noticed that he did everything and the lovely Lorena who was being shouted at was not allowed to do anything at all this man was very controlling and rude the vibe has gone rotten .. we had also just read the review on here about staff not getting tips well we noticed that first hand when we wanted to leave a cash tip Disgraceful

We was really disappointed in the restaurant last night after we witnessed a staff member being bullied when she asked about her wages and tips she was entitled to .. two restaurant owners stood either side of her and said if she takes minimum wages she gets no tips … if she takes less wage she gets £5 or £10 tips a week and that the owners were keeping all the tips to themselves … we would never of left a tip on card if we had know she wouldn’t receive it …. thank goodness for the new tipping law coming out 1st October they will have a shock but all the hard work the staff do and don’t receive a single tip is disgraceful to say the least …. We really enjoyed the place but now it’s left a disgusting taste in our mouths and won’t be back

We were staying at a guest house nearby and came here for a meal on a Friday evening. It turned out to be a very good choice. We were eating early and when we arrived, we were the only customers but the place soon started filling up and by the time we left was nearly full. It clearly has a good, well-deserved reputation locally. The style is Greek, although other Mediterranean dishes are also on the menu. I had the Stuffed Aubergine starter, followed by the Lamb Casserole main and the Baklava dessert. All were perfectly cooked and delicious. To accompany we had a good red Rioja. Three of us were eating. The total came to a very reasonable £112. Service was excellent. The atmosphere enjoyable. We will be coming here again.

Really enjoyed our meal - lovely atmosphere, great background music, friendly and attentive staff, and very tasty food. Thank you very much. We'll return!

If you like Greek and or Turkish food then this is the place to dine. We were met by charming polite respectful mature staff who clearly all have a lifetime of experience in the restaurant trade. Lovely clean place with tasteful decor. Food was fantastic and the house Merlot was divine.

Stayed in Buxton for 7 nights & dined here x3. Food lovely & piping hot. Mediterranean Chicken for me & Salmon Fillet for my girlfriend was our favourite. Baklava for sweet, which arrived 3x cubes plus ice cream scoop & 3x Turkish Delights (?). Lovely friendly staff & chef.

We have been in Buxton for 7 nights and visited Olive Tree Restaurant three times. It is a stunning restaurant, small and perfect. The food is piping hot and so tasty. If you visit Buxton, I would definitely recommend you go. The staff and chef very friendly. 5 stars! The Mediterranean Chicken and Salmon Fillet were delicious. Also the Baklava was so yum.

The food at The Olive Tree is consistently good. There is a wide range of choices of small and large plates to suit all tastes. The service is friendly, efficient and welcoming. We have sometimes been given free baklava which is delicious. Would highly recommend.

What a gem of a restaurant! We were greeted warmly and the service was fabulous. They graciously accommodated a couple of dietary needs for me. We ordered a few starters for our meal, and the food was outstanding. So freshly made and bsolutely packed with flavour! The chunks of bread were perfect for mopping up the rich sauce of the baked aubergines and king prawns. Baklava and ice cream for dessert drizzled with honey ... the perfect round out to a brilliant experience. This restaurant will be at the top of our list to visit again next time we're in Buxton!

Excellent small intimate restaurant. Good choice of food, chef very pleasant. Will definitely find here again when in Buxton, a hidden gem!
