The Blue Olive in Southwark

Hemos estado aquí varias veces y lo disfrutamos. Pero anoche fuimos con unos 12 de nuestra familia y nos decepcionó. Una de las camareras no quería llevar limpia platos para uno de los campos, explicando que no era la política del restaurante. Entonces le contó que teníamos salsas remolachas y soportar todo nuestros platos y no quería poner carne del próximo curso en la parte superior. "no hacer eso," dijo, "Es trabajo extra para nosotros, y tenemos que hacer muchos viajes a la cocina.! (supongo que si yo pedimos una botella de vino, el viaje adicional a la zona de la cocina habría estado bien?) No creo que eso fue una muy buena experiencia del cliente y que tipo de agrió en la noche después de eso y no vas a ir allí de nuevo. Nos sentimos como si estuviéramos en una cinta transportadora -- llegar allí, darnos meze y que nos con la minoría número de platos utilizada como sea posible.

El Blue Olive, en nuestra visita, nos ofrecieron bastante bueno, auténtica comida griega en un precio razonable. La comida no era impresionante, sin embargo, el ambiente era un poco demasiado ruidoso para mi gusto. Vale la pena visitarlo, aunque!

This place is noisy and a bit crowded. The food is very average with the occasional good/great meal.Do not eat before you go there as you will probably order too much and have trouble eating it. The starters are the best part of the meal. They are fresh. The main is difficult to come by depending on what you order last time I ordered the kleftiko, I could not eat all of it due to the amount of fat which was quite sickening and also that I had eaten too much of the starters. The dessert is average and most are chilled and are given to you from the display when you walk in. Overall not too bad a restaurant.

Booked the blue olive for a joint birthday celebration. We booked it for a Tuesday night, the resturant was quiet and was shown to a table immediately. We ordered a Meze for 4 and the starters were faultless. They were fresh and plentiful. The fish was nice but the only fault was the lamb in the meat part of the Meze. It was very dry but the chicken and pork was delicous and so were the shefdalia. The staff were very friendly and helpful and would definately be back.
