Fabulous service, great food in a lovely courtyard protected from the wind.
Nice staff and decent service.
Great place to eat outdoors but heatlamps would have been welcome.
Wow! What an incredible meal !
The food was totally amazing - freshly prepared and delicious . All the dishes were beautifully presented and the service was excellent . We will definitely be returning next time we are in Brighton .
Lovely dinner after lockdown, good flavours, little bit overpriced, felt safe and welcomed.
Lovely. Can't wait to return again later today for second visit this week. Great food and really excellent service.
Whilst holidays are off the agenda for some time, sitting in the sun at the Olive Great is a momentary alternative!
Lovely outdoor courtyard, food was excellent, shame it was a bit cold, but would definitely go again
Menu a little limited and small portions for the price. However it was very tasty and so wonderful to be out and enjoying life at this little gem of a place. I look forward to having access to the full menu later in the year.
Amazing venue, I felt like I was in Venice! Lovely wine, lovely attentive staff and great vegan options! Plant based dishes were a little overpriced but other than that I had a great time.
Lovely food and service in a beautiful courtyard - could easily imagine I was in the Med!
My new favourite place to dine.. perfect food, perfect wine, perfect ambience, excellent service :)
Great location and ambience. Very decent food with good value.
Nice food, good cocktails and the service was perfect, had a lovely afternoon meal. It was great!
Did not like it , won’t go back
The main was ok started dessert wasn’t great .
Over priced , the restaurant doesn’t look good inside
Wonderful food and people
Excellent food and lovely service on a cold night in Brighton.
Much better than expected. Service was spot on. Menus were traditional and not paper which was surprising especially during COVID times. Food was very good and enjoyable.
Food was really good, wine also was lovely. Shame about COVID as we really enjoy visiting the olive grove and it’s great atmosphere
food fresh, tasty , menu choice excellent. Friendly, will be coming back .
Another lovely meal out at The Olive Grove - highly recommended 😀
Superb freshly cooked food and great staff
Excellent choice for an evening with my wife friendly welcoming nice ambience not so busy and very attentive staff good choice of tapas but not to point where it was hard to choose excellent wine list and a good choice of other drinks all in all we were both very satisfied with our choices and the presentation was very good definatley recommended if you are in the area
Good waiter, he was good, as good as good can be. He looked after us. Now I have to type some more words
Quality of food and menu choice not quite up to the very high standard we have enjoyed on many previous visits. Some dishes could have been a bit hotter. Great that it was a buzzing and lively atmosphere, but just spoilt a bit by an extremely loud adjacent table though this was not the restaurants fault.
Felt the space between tables should have been increased a bit given the Covid situation.
Service was very good.
A lovely atmosphere, friendly and helpful service a d absolutely delicious food.
It is like walking into a Mediterranean holiday.
Food is great, they have healthy options too.
Friendly service.
We had a great time, thank you.
We went on what we thought would be a busy Saturday but it was quite quiet. Initial impressions where the restaurant was a bit tired - decor etc. But we were warmly greeted and the service was excellent. The food and wine was delicious. The bill seemed a bit lumpy for a lunch but that was as much down to how much we ordered I think. Overall very enjoyable.
Amazing greek food to share, in the heart of the South Lines of Brighton. Lovely staff and great service.
Not quite priced on a students budget, but we still enjoyed it as a treat!
We would all highly recommend.
They have outdoor seating which would be perfect in the hight of summer.
Excellent food, atmosphere and service, a great dining experience.
Lovely meal as always!!! Really have appreciated this restaurant during Covid
Amazing restaurant with authentic Mediterranean dishes. Service was friendly and thorough and the food was absolutely delicious. First time in this restaurant despite living in Brighton all my life, we will definitely be adding it to our list to visit regularly!!
First time there and it was incredible. Definitely coming back....
Great time.
Amazing food, our favourites were the Salt Baked Cod and Prawns. Service was quick and friendly
Really excellent food. Restaurant is a bit sombre on a rainy day but the food and service were amazing and I think eating outside in Summer must be fantastic. Price is really good for such consistently good food.
We have been to the Olive Grove for lunch several times - so thought we would go there for dinner on Saturday 24th October.
The food and service were exceptional -we had a lovely evening a will be back soon,
Extremely nuce octopus abd croquettes.
Highly recommend.
This was our 3rd visit to this lovely resturant. It's perfect for a family meal or catch up with friends. The staff are lovely & never rush you to order. The food and drink selection is very good. My only suggestion to them would be to change the hand dryer dryer to paper towels especially at this moment in time.
Lovely food, great service. Had some vegetarian plates and the flavours were great. Will definitely go back next time we’re in Brighton.
Good food though would have preferred a better choice of wines. Would definitely recommend
