"I came in for a meal with my god-daughter who has just moved to Guildford. Olivo is a good restaurant and I have eaten here before so I felt it was a good choice for her first dining experience in Guildford. I was pleased that we had a nice evening. We shared a starter and then both had mains and coffee. The food was excellent as ever. Very nice service as ever from very professional cheerful and attentive staff. Very reasonable too. It was a good sign that the restaurant was busy on a cold dark Thursday in early January. I definitely recommend Olivo and will come again."

"Whilst we come here quite frequently and really enjoy the dinners, unfortunately on this occasion we were really let down by the service. We had a table booked for 20:30, and we arrived bang on time. We were told our table would be available in 5 10 mins which is absolutely fine so we waited outside. After 15 mins they apologized that the table was taking slightly longer to vacate than expected so offered us a table outside with some free olives until we could be seated at our table. Unfortunately however, 45 mins passed and we were still not given our table which we had booked in advance. We questioned why we couldn't have our table despite booking, and were informed that they could not do anything to resolve this the party who had the table were overstaying their booking slot (18:30 20:30) and the waitress did not feel she could ask the table to vacate. We feel they could have simply asked the table to politely vacate as their booking slot was finished and they needed the table, but they did not want to do this. Sadly having lost faith in ever getting our table we had to go elsewhere."

"Firstly .. the whole restaurant needs a complete overhaul .. shoddy and shabby dated decor .. the light fittings were thick with dust and grease .. sat facing mirrors .. my view dirty walls and skirting boards, dried out imitation plants and dirty velour chairs at the table facing me .. the music was loud and inappropriate for a restaurant Bare tables, no condiments. My £8 glass of wine was served in the most basic of cheap wine glasses .. water served in a glass with a straw stuck in it .. no jug for the table .. dirty shabby menus .. ordered crispy beef. .. served luke warm and not crispy.. asked the obvious crispy beef ?? to be told it’s crispy beef but not crispy as it’s their signature dish which is crispy beef but not crispy .. makes no sense .. ordered mushroom bruschetta to have a scorched wedge of ciabatta and a few mushrooms .. red pepper in the mix of the concoction with very little sauce .. the young boy who served us was very apologetic and did his best in the circumstances. To be sat in this restaurant was not only a depressing environment and experience the food is completely overpriced from what appears to be cooked by a cook .. not a chef .. for this restaurant to be trading there must be very little competition in the area for them to get away with serving what they serve in canteen surrounding .."

"I used to eat here when it was known under a different name and the new decor is very different, think modern, high class boutique hotel rather than they previous romanticfading nightclub theme.They are accepting very few covers so it was not at all busy but this also meant very few staff so it was occasionally hard to catch the eye of a waiter. The food overall was good and my vegetarian friend was particulalry pleased that they didn't take the usual 'v' option cop outs. I had a passable but not brilliant Chicken roulade which was slightly overcooked but slipped down well with an excellent Riesling. My main course was panfried Salmon and was on a completely different level perfectly prepared and delicious. Portion sizes were reminiscent of nouvell cuisine however and at per head for a set two course lunch its not the sort of place you're going to nip to for a spot of lunch on a regular basis unless you enjoy poor value. The wine list had some good depth and prices weren't terrible but it was clear to see where the profit lies. I understand they are offering cream teas in later afternoon and I'll probably give them another opportunity to empty my wallet as overall it was a very pleasant experience if you are looking for a chance to chat and drink rather than setup for a night on the town"

"I have walked passed this cafe several times and not noticed it, nestled next to the big Co-Op supermarket in Moseley. So, I was glad when a friend said let's meet there. It was surprisingly spacious, with a lovely ambience and a great range of goodies to eat. Freshly baked bread pastries baked onsite with a distinctively French vibe. They also offer a more extended lunch menu, plus the usual coffee variations and teas. I didn't venture out to their garden because it was drizzling with rain, but from what I could see, it looked like a nice space for warmer days. The young Black lady who served was very helpful we didn't feel pressured to leave when we were finished. I will be back! Recommended stop."

"The breakfast was brilliant, really tasty and great value. The service was really disappointed though, friendly staff but just need to sort it out a bit. We ordered 4 breakfasts and soon after 3 arrived. The fourth order was off the menu but we hadn't been told and so had to order again from scratch, and even then the order was wrong despite it being checked twice. Drinks arrived after food and seemed chaotic. A shame really as the food was really really good!"

"The restaurant is lovely, light and airy with plenty to look at. The food is excellent. I had the watermelon and feta salad my husband the broccoli soup. Both were excellent. For seconds I had the pork belly my husband fish and chips. We thought a whale had landed the piece of fish was that large. Again beautifully cooked. Desert was delicious, chocolate brownie, strawberry cheese cake and salted caramel cake. Yum. Only complaint is the menu on the website is totally different to the menu we were given. Hence why my husband ended up with posh fish and chips. However, this didn't really detract from a very nice meal."

"Our favourite place to go when we visit Belfast and yesterday 16th we visited for my partners birthday. We had been given a voucher for Christmas and it was the first chance we had to use it. We had tapas as a starter between us, I had the salt and pepper scampi as a main and my partner had a burger with chips...for dessert my partner had a brownie and the girls kindly put a candle on it for him and sang happy birthday. Anna was our server she was just lovely,very attentive and nothing was a problem to her. We wanted 2 cocktails that weren't on the menu but they were able to whip them up for us. We like to try different places in Belfast but I can honestly say the Barking Dog is the best for quality food and service...eating out is becoming more of a luxury for some people these days so when you do decide to dine you want it to be a great experience....I can honestly say yesterday was one of the nicest meals I have ever had the whole experience was delightful...thank you can't wait to our next visit"

"The restaurant offers a menu with food similar to what we have experienced in Portugal and Madeira, likely due to the owner's 15 years living in Lisbon. It was odd that the restaurant wasn't very busy, perhaps because it was a Sunday evening. Our meal included calamari and chorizo for two, followed by a sirloin steak cooked as requested and a seabass filet served with fennel, roasted baby tomatoes, potatoes, and sauce vierge - all delicious. We had a drink each. We were staying nearby at the Premier Inn and would definitely return to Mediterranean Twist if in the area again."

"Typical pub, we're in the middle of the regulars in the morning, where it starts with a Guiness in the breakfast. In the evening, excellent cuisine with beautiful servings (the burger is beautiful, the ketchup tomato sauce made home, the fish and ships tasty, the smoking soup is served in a small melting pot.... Cool music. Deco like we love him. This is Dublin!"

"My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. I waited for two hours just for a starter and a main course. The staff and kitchen seemed to lack a proper understanding of gluten-free options. When I inquired about gluten-free choices, they simply responded that "anything can be gluten-free," which was misleading. Additionally, the gluten-free pizza I ordered was undercooked in the middle. Overall, it was not an enjoyable visit."

"We love Bayards Cove so much that we choose our accommodation based on its proximity to the restaurant. This visit was just as excellent as always. The staff are incredibly friendly and always remember us from previous visits. The food is fresh and of high quality, served on beautiful crockery in a wonderful atmosphere. They even go the extra mile for children, making it a great restaurant for any time of day. We have already enjoyed two breakfasts, a dinner, and coffee, and we are only halfway through our holiday. Thank you as always."

"Disappointing brunch after I’ve heard some good reviews regarding the bottomless brunch. Service was appalling we were placed in a corner and basically left with no service and had to consistently ask for a top up. Staff just walked past us and did not top us up and said it was a ‘busy’ day. Food was lovely! Such a shame that after when it had emptied out our waitress was just at the bar and for about 20 minutes we were left with no top up. When we asked another member of staff for the bill when it has exceeded 20 minutes after our time slot we asked for a top up and she said no because it was over our time slot. We explained we had been waiting for so long she said she could get us one as if she was doing us a favour. We then were left for another 15 minutes as nobody came over with a card machine which resulted in myself asking at the bar as we had to leave. The service charge was optional and when we paid the waitress said we hadn’t paid the full amount which was rude. We said that’s because we did not pay the service charge as it was appalling. For a girls brunch and a fun afternoon I would not recommend."

"What a shame, we are locals that have had drinks and light bites, dinner with friends and even taken over for a 60th Birthday party. .... but... unfortunately an over zealous bouncer has now stopped us twice from entering as we had no booking and although plenty of room for us stopped a Sunday stroll and pop in for a glass, prawns and clams.....apparently no booking now no entry! What a shame. Off to Bliss on Wilsden lane no such rules. Shame shame shame."

"This is a unique GEM!! Real Italian, Real Napoletana Pizza!! Pizza, pasta, every starter and dessert we have tried was mouthwatering!! Pumpkin Risotto and all the Pizzas in the menu are our favourite! But if my husband and I said that this restaurant is a Gem is because of the Team, we have always been welcomed such as a family member! Everyone is kind, thoughtful and empathic, Alfonso the manager, Jamie (I hope to remember correctly your name! Sorry if not! Silvia, everyone! So thank you very much from the bottom of our heart for being like that!!! Everyone should learn from you and from your skilled Kitchen Team!!"
