Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Delicious food and excellent service! My only issue as there was no cider available, which seemed a bit odd. Well definitely be back!...Famous last words, so sad that it's gone now.

Food was poor I had cod which was ok and my partner had chicken which was very dry and the mash was grainy with black bits. This is our third time here and I really think it is over rated.

We all 4 of us had great meals, I had the scallops with just a small slice of black pudding. It was fantastic. The other 3 had no starters , but the fillet steak which were all good. I had the Cod , thank goodness the Hake was not on. Highly recommended. Patricia, is great as front of house, very welcoming.

Delicious dinner with a friend Midweek dinner and my first visit to the restaurant. Friendly and professional service with a great value dinner menu .. We enjoyed both starters and main course options with the sides Complimentary soup (which was delicious) We had the squid & chicken wings to start and we both had the belly of pork for our main course! Highly recommended!

I'd been to The Sooty Olive a few times over the years but over the last few visits the food has been dreadful. £35 for three courses when you get served basically poor pub grub just won't cut it for me. My starter of crispy squid was over cooked, my main consisted of quite possibly the most bland and driest katsu chicken curry I have ever had, along with the smallest portion of chips I have ever seen. My dessert of creme brulee was ok but nothing to rave home about. The service was fantastic and the waiting staff couldn't have been faulted as they were so attentive. If you're going for the food, I'd go elsewhere with there being so many great spots in the city.

Group of 7 ate at the sooty olive. The restaurant offers chateaubriand in 2 different sizes we choose the largest size to share by 3 people. On ordering this wasn't a problem, however when the food arrived the staff member couldn't comprehend why we needed 3 dinner plates instead of 2, eventually she brought a side plate & again we had to enlighten her as to why a 3rd plate was needed. She then brought an ungarnished cold plate. The chateaubriand was over cooked & we did mention this to another member of staff. When paying for the meal, I mentioned to the manager that the chateaubriand was over cooked,to which he replied well another member of your party told me the food was great. This person wasnt eating the chateaubriand and was happy with his meal.I told him that I had raised my concerns with another member of staff, to which he told me i should have raised them with him. This continued with the manager refusing to offer as much as apology for my concerns. He behaved in an obnoxious manner and was utterly disrespectful. The manager had a terrible attitude, he totally lacked professionalism and whilst he is working there I wouldn't recommend eating here.

We went for an anniversary dinner, a special night for us, we waited at least 20 minutes past our booking and watched three couples arrive after us and be seated before us, whilst we understand that tables are allocated we heard one couple say their booking was well after us and were seated while we still waited. My husband had to go and inquire before we were told our table ran over, not the restaurants fault, but we would have appreciated this being communicated to us and not being left feeling quite forgotten, it would have made all the difference. The food was ok but we left with a bad taste in our mouths. The wait staff were apologetic and very nice.

Last week, I had the unpleasant experience of choosing a locally overrated restaurant in the town of Londonderry, UK - The Sooty Olive...... Once inside I was greeted by a bored teenager manning the front desk and a most disappointing, distasteful, dirty restaurant. The tables, chairs, decor and layout were simply tired and dreadful. The service is the sort that one would expect form a fast food chain, but without its speed and simplicity. As for the pompous manger or host (or whatever he was) he was obnoxious. His recommendation for wine was way off, he had no clue what he was talking about and the wine tasted like a $5 excuse for a bad house wine mixed with red wine vinegar! At this point, I had enough of this torture, when the meals showed up. .....We had the curry and the chicken escalope. OMG it was really awful!!!!! So we asked for the check. To my surprise the previously lazy waitresses came alive and rushed with the check as if their life depended on it. The price was overrated, but I guess whoever pays to be taken for a fool deserves to be one!! Never again will I lay eyes on this sorry excuse of a restaurant. It is banned from my list and should be from anyone's!

We are traveling from the US and had been driving all day and found this gem! We were very underdressed compared to everyone else, but we were assured that we were fine and that it was a casual place. We were all so glad we stayed, everything was AMAZING! I assume it was the manager we were talking to and he seemed so genuinely glad that we stayed and enjoyed it. Cannot recommend it enough.

The food was so good and really reasonably priced, drinks were great and if anything strong. Atmosphere was great, a touch fancy but nothing you could get away with wearing a t shirt too. would love to go again 🙌🏼

Every time we come to Derry to visit family we come to the sooty olive , last night we had starters the fish cake was excellent10/10 the squid with peanut sauce 8/10 only reason an 8 is because it didn’t have much sauce ( like before) nor the charred lime .mains we had chateaubriand for two with pepper sauce and sides of triple cooked chips and bacon and leek mash ,which was a triumph.Dessert we were full so shared a cheesecake with ice-cream which was very good .Can’t wait for our next trip really is best food in Derry

The quality of the food did not match the price. The triple cooked chips were not very crispy. As part of the steak deal we got a portion of soup that was served in a Espresso cup which I think is too small and there was too much gristle on the steak The food we were served didn't look as good as the photos on Google. Overall the price did not justify the portion sizes and simplicity of the food. It reminded me of pub grub.

Was incredibly disappointed with the place. After reading such great reviews about it I decided to give it a go and celebrate with a few friends. We arrived and drinks were not offered until 10min. 2 cocktails and 2 pints. After 35min and still no drinks, I let a waitress know. Our starters came, we finished them and still no drinks. 10min later our waiter arrives to say that the order didn't go through the till.. 10min later the pints arrive. No cocktails yet.. 10min. Later we finally hear the cocktail shaker.. An hour after we arrived we were finally able to have our toast. It was honestly disappointing. Their signature cocktail, The Sooty Olive was undrinkable. The taste was just wrong. 4 different people tried it on the table, same verdict. The Rummy Runner was watered down. You could see the straw across the glass. No flavor at all, not even the alcohol. But was better than the first and drinkable Came down to ask for a new cocktail for the sooty olive and asked for a second rummy runner. This one was done right. Proper flavour and density on it. We got 1 cocktail off the bill when it should had been the entire round to be honest. An hour for drinks is simply unacceptable.. Mains arrived and they were good but the presentation left much to desire. Specially the celeriac burgers and steak. Huge white plate with a small burger half tilted on the middle with knive on top and nothing else. The steak was also alone in a big white plate with 1 onion ring on top and a ceramic ramakin on the side. Not even a drizzle of sauce, watercress or anything to decorate. Our waiter was very polite and nice so at least there was that... Also careful with the floors, they are quite slippery. 3 of us got to slide on them and saw another 2 customers also about to fall. Unfortunately not coming back.

From the moment we arrived the restaurant we were so warmly welcomed by all the extremely friendly staff. The food was just outstanding and is 10 out of 10. I had a delicious curry with really is the best I have ever had. My husband had the Hake special which he said was to die for. We were served by such lovely staff and they were all so attentive. The customer service is outstanding in every aspect. Elisa was our main waitress and all I can say is she is a complete sweetheart and just made our evening so special. We highly recommend The Sooty Olive. Its 4 mins walk from the train station. Why not explore the old city of Derry and finish up in The Sooty Olive? You will so love it and we cant wait to go back!! thank you so much.

Supposed to be a special birthday dinner. Firstly an inexperienced waitress spilled red wine all over my niece. She didn't even have the grace to apologize.

This looks lovely and has a nice vibe. The food however was disappointing. The full breakfast consisted of reheated, shrivelled meat. The pancakes were dry and cold and burnt. The coffee was decent but generally we were very disappointed, waste of money I’m afraid.
