Was Tina Shaw at Olive Tree a mag?
After dining at the Dower House the night before, we weren't sure it could be topped, however the service food and general ambience were on a par, if not better! View all feedback.
What Mariagiulia Pellegrino dislikes about Olive Tree:
If you go on Trip Advisor bad reviews are followed by very positive ones which is most pecular. Our experience on Saturday night was not great, indeed its hard to argue with 2 reviews posted by fellow diners, Sunday night someone posts a glowing tribute, directly contradicting the points made by the earlier reviews- at best it shows high levels of inconsistancy which is not what you expect from a restaurant charging...

The food here is fantastic, but just a little too salty. It's a very cozy restaurant in the basement of the Queensbury hotel for fine dining. They have a
Exquisite is the only word I can use to describe my dinning experience at Olive Tree.
A romantic little get away in Bath would not be complete with dinner at an upmarket restaurant. We needed a break from London and chose to stay at the
Food is excellent and the setting good. However the service is not as good as it should be for the quality and price of the restaurant, probably due to how busy it is. Main course was slightly cold and long waits for deserts and coffees. Shame, as the restaurant is generally great, but just let down by not being able to cope with too many people at one time.

Shall I compare thee to a summers day or restaurant in this case. This restaurant has surpassed any dining experience I have had before. There is a six course or nine course tasting menu or a smaller four course which we went for. We also chose to have the wine tasting experience with a sample of high quality wine to complement each course. We are so glad we chose to do this. The waiting staff bring over the wine and tell you all about it. Different chefs come out and tell you where the food has been sourced and answer any questions you might have. Each dish was an explosion of amazing tastes. I feel I have been ruined for anything less. The Lobster was my favourite. My husbands favourite dish was the deer. Chris Cleghorn has just won “Chef of the year 2023”. I can totally understand why. It was a birthday treat and if you tell them beforehand they bring you out some chocolates with Happy Birthday written in chocolate on the plate. The quality of the food and wine reflects the price. We would definitely do it all again. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Overall an enjoyable meal. Some excellent dishes and some less impressive courses but certainly no 'duds ' and a few (e.g. the chocolate desert and the sweetbreads) stood out for me. The wine pairing was very good but I believe the person serving us wine for most of the meal must have been standing in because the South African man who served the last three wine courses was vastly more knowledgeable. It was nice to meet the young chefs who had prepared each course and some were more charming than others but to me this novel approach worked well.

Very convincing cooking, a sure Michelin star, definitely with ambition for the top, some courses such as the beans or the lobster were stronger than 1 star, the desserts were aromatically exciting and perfectly balanced. Never seen tonka beans so skilfully dosed, perfect parfait, great idea with the raspberries. Even in 2-3 stars you rarely get this level. We ordered a dessert, it was that good. Lots of open, exciting wines where you can feel the passion of the sommelier. Great dedicated and friendly service. The ambience was well done, perhaps a bit too bright. Something should only be done about the acoustics, it is far too loud and you can hear the conversations of the other guests too clearly. An acoustic ceiling would be a blessing and we would also like a little less cooling. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3
