The Olive Tree Restaurant York Restaurant Reviews
This lovely restaurant is situated across the road from Clifford's Tower in York. On entering, the tastefully decorated and spacious dining area, you are cordially greeted by a member of staff. After being seated at a choice of tables, it was not overly busy on the Thursday we went in, menus are brought to you for your perusal. StartersUnhurried by staff we made our selections. I went for Parma ham with figs my friend Roger (waves to Roger if he reads this) decided on wild mushroom on a brioche. Both totally delicious. The figs with the ham were warmed through and thus softened and the sweetness went with the parma ham very well in my opinion. The noises of pleasure from across the table were explained to me with glee as there was a delicious nutty flavour to the mushrooms. A good start. Main CourseMain courses were a tuna steak for Mr Farrington and a fillet of beef with feta cheese for myself. Both were cooked as requested and the sauce for the beef was lovely. Some herb mash and vine tomatoes were a little bit disappointing, as they didn't really add to the experience apart from the fun presentation perhaps. DesertFor dessert some Ice Cream for Roger and because I had not seen one for such a long time, a baked apple for me. When they arrived the nature of the chef showed through. I think he has a good sense of fun and sense of humour. I hope he wasn't upset at my bursting into laughter at what it looked like, I hope he meant to tickle us with it. It looked fun and it was both in the presentation and the eating. I couldn't help remember my grandmothers baked apple as I tucked in. In fact, it could well have been her own delicious recipe. Very pleasant indeed. AtmosphereA good atmosphere, well trained and mannered staff, enough space to make it an intimate experience. With well presented and tasty food as well what more could you ask for? Maybe a bit pricey but lets face it you pay for what you get. Not So Good at Last Visit
