We were more than impressed with the quality of the food and presentation was first class. A short but well chosen wine list produced some enjoyable bottles to go with the food. An excellent evening out.

Even though we hadn't made a reservation, Steve managed to secure us a lovely table and greeted us warmly. The food surpassed our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Oliver's. Huge thanks to Juliet for her delicious dishes and to Steve for his entertaining company. We will definitely return when we are back in Seaford. A truly delightful experience!

Both chicken and steak mains looked and tasted tired although they were served in copious amounts with buckets of vegetables. An initial amuse bouche was a flavoured biscuit and this was followed by rather bland soup that did not add anything extra to the procession of plates. Overall we ended up full but not satisfied. Perhaps this was a one-off. I certainly hope so.

However, the food is something else, not only looks beautiful and tastes beautifully too. The chef, I believe to be the lady owner is amazing...amuse bouche to start of the journey and a cheeky little food gift after the starter. My dessert of three little samples of the main desserts was a fitting end. And real mint in my tea. It was my first visit and I will certainly go there again..
