i was bitterly disappointed and will not be coming back any time soon.
for drinks, we ordered a glass of riesling and a london tea, the latter being a gin-based cocktail containing ginger ale, tonic, lime juice, rosemary, and earl grey tea. i have attached a photo of what i was served, which i am convinced was a bombay orange - another cocktail on the menu that was almost entirely orange-based, with orange bitters, zest, lime juice. i say this because my drink tasted of little other than orange, but on bringing this to the notice of the staff twice, i was met with defensiveness and a dismissive attitude. i was told that the orange in my drink was merely garnish, despite it being the only flavour. safe to say, for the price i paid, i was extremely disappointed.
as for the food, the brie en croute was sufficiently inventive and tasty. however, the chicken espetada was a repurposed tandoori chicken. it tasted of little else and was served with one accompaniment while the menu promised two. for mains, we ordered the salmon, which was little more than a nondescript fish with an ordinary sauce. the pork was significantly better, but was much too little to save what was overall a bitterly disappointing experience.
perhaps it is time for olive to reconsider their menu and service standards. at this price, one expects perfection. as things stand, they are way, way off the mark.
