Trip Advisor reviews of The Olive Tree Restaurant, Exeter

"Perfection" - Have thought about eating here for a while but tonight was the night and was not disappointed...great atmosphere, service and excellent food and wine...so delighted that have booked again for Monday night! Would recommend anyone to try it and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. (Extract, October 2012)

“Excellent Restaurant in the heart of the city” - This restaurant has beautiful decor, excellent service and most importantly excellent food. We have been here many times and have never been able to find fault with any of the food. The quality would stand up to any top class restaurant anywhere and the chef definitely knows what he is doing. The menu is changed regularly, which is good as we will continue to go back.

“Absolutely amazing!” - The food was out of this world...by far the best food I've had this year if not more. I cannot fault a single thing. Presentation fab, taste amazing, variety great, staff helpful and friendly. Lovely atmosphere, music and general ambience all great. I love this place, couldn't recommend it more highly and will most definitely be going back. In fact I cannot wait!! In my opinion this restaurant is worthy of Michelin stars. (Extract, June 2012)

“Fantastic, intimate restaurant, beautiful food and great service” - My wife and I thought we'd try the Olive Tree as we had heard good things but had never been. We managed to get a booking for Valentines Day and couldn't be happier that we did! The restaurant is well laid out, relaxing and inviting. The staff were very friendly and courteous, making us feel instantly at home. But the star of the evening was of course the food. We thoroughly enjoyed every course and could not fault any of the dishes. It was a perfect way to celebrate the day, and we cannot recommend the Olive Tree enough. If you get the chance, spoil yourself! (Extract February 2012)
