Pleasant place to eat and nice decor. Indian staff struggled to understand English. I had starter Aubergine Parmagiana but it might as well have been a pile of mushed tomato, I couldnt taste the aubergine at all. The chicken and chorizo paella did not contain any chorizo so was very very bland. Chef obviously thought substituting it with 1mm salami was a good thing to do. Not the worst place I have eaten but there are so many amazing places to eat in York we will never go back.

Tasty food we had the beef stroganoff from the specials board , very tasty and a generous amount ! We added a garlic bread and a portion of chips which were also tasty but not needed as the portions were large ! It was a Thursday and the venue was quiet so lacked atmosphere and it’s a little tired looking inside could use a lick of paint . Staff were lovely very friendly and attentive , we were attending the grand opera house theatre and the restaurant was within five min walk so ideal location . Overall I would recommend a visit !

Shocked ladies shared men’s toilets had to take partner to guard door as no ladies available only one toilet cubical with seat slipping off really poor for Olive Tree been to many this is not the standard expected and very disappointing even had to ask for the bill to be amended as overcharged disappointing for an Olive Tree not recommended.

Believe me I go to a lot of trouble to produce nice food at home and most of the time when we go out to eat either my husband will say you do a nicer version of that or I will say that I am so disappointed it was a waste of money. Last night we celebrated my husband’s birthday in York and I am delighted to say that the meals we had, both different meals on the menu, were absolutely delicious. We had a starter and main course and both were exceptionally tasty. The staff were also very attentive and so pleasant. I’m already trying to think of an excuse to stay in York again so we can return to this restaurant.

We brought our teenage grandson to York for the day and opted for lunch at The Olive Tree; we were definitely not disappoined. He ordered sirloin steak, which he said was delicious, my wife had the lasagne which was full of taste, and I had the mixed fish grill which was absolutely delightful. Would not hestitate to reurn when in York again.

Visited while on holiday, had an evening meal which was very pleasant but nothing to rave about. I had a slice of pate with toast with salad and no dressing, my husband had an aubergine starter which was nice but had to ask for bread to have with it. Beef stroganoff and rice, main tasty and rich flavour and King prawn bora bora, again nice and creamy but nothing to rave about. One of our desserts came in a cardboard microwave dish which was poor! Overall a reasonable priced meal but average quality. The decor was dated, not a romantic restaurant.

Situated Just outside of the city centre. Totally disappointed we stopped to eat here! Food is definitely below average. I had spaghetti bolognaise, no taste to it other than garlic, plenty of spaghetti but hardly any beef. My husband had the fish mixed grill, which tasted nice but it was a very small portion of fish on his plate, the cost of this dish, was £29.95, so was expecting quality to match the price. I had a glass of Pinot Grigio which I left, tasted like vinegar. Definitely will not return.

Slightly out of the city centre but easily accessible, and worth the little walk. It was raining hard when we visited, so had fewer customers than I would have expected, which meant atmosphere was lacking. Excellent food at a reasonable price, and generous portion for an Italian restaurant. I had the Fish Mixed Grill which I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend. The service was a little slow, but we were in no hurry and the food was cooked to order, so we didn't mind waiting. The staff were friendly, polite and attentive. Recommended.

Just like Jimmy White, this is my favourite Italian in York. We like it so much we had Xmas lunch there this year. The lasagne is properly lush, the boy always has marghuerita pizza and I always finish it, so good. Can be quiet, why I do not know.

We arrived at 20:00, we had booked a table in advance but when we arrived we were sat down without asking a confirmation on the booking. I could tell the waitresses were busy. Me and my partner ordered some wine which was lovely and had a scan through the menu. Plenty of good food. We decided against the starter and went straight for main course. I originally wanted the lamb shank but they didn’t have any - the waitress was quick to recommend an alternative which was very helpful. I had the lamb mushroom kebab with green beans, potatoes and salad. It had a really tasty sauce too. My partner had the stuffed chicken which she said was lovely. We were very happy with our mains! Afterwards we had deserts. I had the crumble and my partner had tiramisu. The tiramisu was lovely but I felt let down by my crumble.. could tell it was just a microwave job. It even came out in its black microwaveable packaging. I wouldn’t recommend the crumble. Overall I’d say 4 stars! Would like to thank the Olive Tree for a nice evening.

We have just had a Fantastic meal here at The Olive Tree. Opposite Cliffords Tower. I can very much recommend it. The Sea Bass was very well cooked. The Garlic Creamy Mushrooms were also out of this world. I had the Lasagne, again was the best I have had for a long time. I would give them 5 STARS . Why when in York you don't just see what your missing.

Really don’t like leaving bad reviews but think people need to know what they are in for. We dined here last night as a birthday meal. We weren’t really met with a friendly face when walking in and were just told to sit down. They soon came and took our drink order,then just brought our wine and plonked it on the table and walked off. (So we poured our own) When our food came again 4 meals were put down in front of us and they walked off again,not asking if we wanted black pepper or Parmesan cheese. After waiting for about 4 minutes we realised they weren’t coming back and had to ask a member of staff for these. My son also asked for ketchup for his pizza and when this came it was like water. My daughters chicken was spot on,but my cannelloni was very tasteless and I asked for more pepper. My husband had lobster ravioli and said he felt like there was to much sauce and not enough pasta. No one ever came over to ask if everything was ok. (Maybe they don’t like to) On finishing we didn’t feel like we wanted to chance having desserts and being disappointed again, so we just got our bill and left. Sorry but won’t ever be coming back or recommending this restaurant.

Hard to express just how poor service was. We left after starters and weren't even asked why. Only one other table in there and when they left we were the only table they had, but we just waited and waited while FOH staff stood looking bored behind the bar. Had to ask them to come take an order. Shame as caprese salad was amazing, but we got bored of waiting for them to take a mains order and told them we weren't planning on staying. They pretty much shrugged and we left. Was a birthday meal too so not a great experience. We went to Lucia's instead and it was amazing.

Tricky to rate our visit here as service wise, we found it really quite good; the staff were quick to take our order and clear tables and, my subsequent complaint was dealt with openly. The food, however, was not so good. I ordered a seafood risotto and whilst it was literally jam packed full of seafood, it had very little taste. My friend ordered lobster ravioli which had too much / too runny a sauce for the amount of pasta in the dish. Disappointing all round. Both meals were very underwhelming but made worse by my find of a suspicious creature in the bottom of my risotto. It looked like a larve of some kind and was not pleasant. However, I’m not particularly squeamish so I reported it and we were offered a glass of wine each, on the house as recompense. I think I’m probably more upset about the quality and flavour of the food than I was the surprise protein! Incidents can happen, i get that, but a lack of flavour is harder to fix.

As a couple of senior citizens in our 80’s, we visited this restaurant for an early evening meal on the 7th Sept. We found the ambience and initial reception from the two front of house staff very good, and our two course meal was of a high standard, congratulations to the kitchen staff. The Set Menu as advertised on the web site, and which had attracted us to this restaurant was not available but still present on the web site, and so we had to choose from the main menu which was more expensive. Whilst eating our meal, the two tables either side of us were filled, and served accordingly. We finished our meal before them, and sat waiting for our plates to be cleared. One of the other tables finished their meal and left, their table was cleared, cleaned, and reset. We continued to sit looking at dirty plates. The other table finished their meal, their table was cleared, and they were immediately asked if deserts or coffees were required, a coffee menu was brought to them, their order taken, and coffees served. We were totally ignored, and continued to sit with our dirty plates. We would have ordered deserts or coffees had we been asked, but after sitting for 25mins being completely ignored, we decided to leave. I spoke with both members of staff and complained about our appalling treatment, pointing to the table we’d just vacated, still with our dirty tableware in place. I sent an email to The Olive Tree the following day, restating our experience, and possibly as one may expect haven’t had the common courtesy of a reply. Shame on you for treating respectable elderly customers in this manner.

We were a walk in, they accommodated us no problems, especially when the last 3 places we visited said we'd have to book and they had no tables. I ordered ribeye, the wife ordered Hunters chicken stew, both meals were spot on, my ribeye was cooked exactly how I like it, the chips were lovely too, the meal came out within 15 mins of ordering. Good service, great restaurant.

This is our go to restaurant if we are eating in York. We have eaten here over the last several years and never had anything other than excellent food. I was a lone diner today but my seafood risotto was such a generous portion I would have shared it with my husband if he had been there; it was packed full of seafood, beautifully seasoned and well cooked. I only took one photo which wasn’t really for this review but I’ll share it anyway.

Seemed ok at first however the waiters/waitresses quickly turned belligerent when we pointed out that the so called lamb we were served, as part of the mixed grill, was in actual fact pork, and not lamb as was advertised ; Not that we don’t eat pork. I tried to point out that we did not have a problem with the fact that what we were served was not lamb, however we simply wanted to point out the error. The staff stated that they would not accept what we were saying. Our entire party had tried the “lamb” and agreed that it was pork, however staff stated that their supplier was reliable and refused to even inspect what they had served. One waitress/manager raised her voice, to the extent that we felt it was better to disengage, as opposed to continue arguing the fact that we were served pork. We will never return to this establishment. It requires an overhaul of frontline staff or perhaps effective customer services training. Unfortunate that our visit to York was blighted by this very negative experience.

However I found the decor inside the restaurant to be outdated and tacky so I don’t think I would visit again, I didn’t like the food that I had gotten the pasta was over cooked I found the food to be average but it was a nice atmosphere and the reason we visited was because of the lovely view.

We visited for a dinner reservation for 10 people - 6 adults and 4 children, 3 of whom were under 10. The restaurant is directly opposite Clifford’s Tower just a few minutes walk from some of the busier streets and area of York. Staff were friendly and welcoming and there was a nice atmosphere - the restaurant was busy but not bustling or noisy. There was no children’s menu but when we were enquired we were told the restaurant would do 1/2 portions of anything on the menu for them. We didn’t have starters so straight to mains - the lamb and mushroom kebabs were excellent, as were the fish dishes - the fish was beautifully cooked. The children had half portions of spaghetti bolognese and lasagne - which were still generous sizes, and shared a garlic bread. We ordered wine with the meal which was also good, the children had some of the lovely selection of ice creams - and the espresso coffee was top notch as well! We really enjoyed this restaurant, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and we’d certainly recommend and come back here again if visiting York again.

I can't speak for the food because, frankly, we couldn't wait long enough to order (our toddler was getting too cranky). And for the first time, we left before ordering everything (not one to normally judge a book by its cover). Having called ahead to book a table for two with a high chair. When we arrived (two hours later than when I called) they didn't have a table ready and handed us a pop up high chair that they couldn't put up. I nipped to the toilet to find a store room at the back of the restaurant with everything strewn everywhere, the toilet wouldn't be out of place in a run down weatherspoons, and there were just random bottles of cleaning spray dotted around the restaurant like someone had gotten half way through cleaning. We asked the table next to us who had been in the restaurant for 20 mins and hadn't managed to place their order yet. With a crank toddler we made the decision to scarper. Photos attached.

On arrival in York, we instantly looked for somewhere to book for the evening. On entering the restaurant no-one came out to see us, I found someone by shouting through the staff door, he said he'd be with us. We waited another 10 minutes & still he didn't come out? Meanwhile another two couples came to book but they said we're not waiting! We then gave up & left. There was a tray of used coffee cups on the bar, on a tray with cash? Obviously there was noone to take payment either? Later on in the evening (not knowing where we were going to eat, we passed the olive tree once again, this time two gentlemen were in the bar area, I booked our table for 7:30, reserved a nice table in the corner & left. Arrived at 7:25 and our table had people seated and their meal was just arriving.... Said nothing because 'what would be the point'? The food was lovely, hubby had sirloin and I enjoyed the creamy risotto. The staff were really friendly, although the lady owner could be found propping up the bar in real deep thought (probably thinking when will I have time to prepare for Xmas, just like the rest of us ladies) hahahaha All in all okay, but if the front door is open, someone should be there?

We went there for lunch at around 1.30pm. We were on limited time as we had an Escape Room booked for 2.15pm, and we were assured they could accommodate that. We ordered our food (4 of us), and within 10mins, were told 2 dishes we had ordered were sold out. We thought that was not acceptable so early in the day. However, the food we had was delicious, fresh and hot. The waiter was lovely, and his service was very good. I would go again, maybe it was just a bad day.

I have been to many places to dine out, but never have I had tables rearranged whist I was eating. My husband booked a table in advance for our 40th anniversay, it was as though they had no clue that we had a reservation. Left us sitting with no menu or drink for five minutes. Very canteen like. The waiter was hovering, waiting for us to finish starter and main so that he could whip the plates away. Would never recommend!

The worst restaurant service I’ve ever experienced in my life. Waiters kept getting our order wrong and despite correcting them numerous times I ended up with no main course. Each dish not served as the menu. My dining partners ended up with mint sauce, beans and mash with their lamb being delivered just as they finished it. No apology. Just avoided us and hoped we’d leave. Used to be nice place with competent staff so a shame.
