The Food and service was impeccable. I Would definitely visit again! Recent refurbishment done well, Lovely atmosphere! It would be interesting to see if I'm the future there are any offers available .
Excellent service and food. Only slight criticism was whole chill in the chorizo casserole came as a surprise and profiteroles price - £7 for two small balls too much! We would return but just avoid two dishes mentioned!
This was the best tapas I have had anywhere!! Great atmosphere - lovely helpful staff and fabulous authentic food. Reasonably priced too!! Great sangria too!
Wonderful overall experience. Food was first class and all staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend and very looking forward to visiting again. Ideal pre-theatre meal but booking essential, especially at weekends.
Food was extremely good, every dish tasted fantastic... The waitress went through the specials and helped us decide... She was very friendly and look after us all night.. Would recommend it to anyone..
Great food, service excellent (although it was a quiet evening so we were the only customers for an hour). Can't fault our experience - will return
Wonderful evening out at La Oliva. Excellent variety of Tapas to share. As delicious as the real thing in Spain. We will definitely be back.
La Oliva has such excellent food. They have clearly put a lot of thought into their tapas and provide dishes with wonderful flavours. Plus we had great service from Eros our waiter. Super evening, many thanks.
Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere. The food was excellent. If I have any gripes it would be the cheese board. I was expecting a selection of Spanish cheese and only got Manchega! It was very good though
Superb service , outstanding food in a relaxed environment, all you could wish for and more. Highly recommended. Will be going again the next time we are in Harrogate.
Excellent food, really nice staff, enjoyable atmosphere. Wasn't a cheap meal, but you get what you pay for,which was quality. Will be going back again.
WE had a lovely time here with friends last night. Great reception as soon as we walked through the door. Food was delicious, lovely flavours, beautifully presented - and do try the tuna on avocado, or the calamari - or indeed anything we tried. Wine excellent and very reasonably priced. It would be a little excessive to go there again tonight, but we happily could - and we will recommend it to all our friends. And there was a great buzz to the place - not noisy, not deadly quiet, but happy and vibrant.
Excellent!!! Every dish totally delicious and we suspect that this would have been the case whatever we ordered! Wines very good and complimentary. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic as always. Some of the best tapas I've ever had, great choice on the drinks menu and there is always a very warm welcome from the staff. Highly recommended.
excellent food very authentic, great service and attention to customers. very lively and nice new design. broad menu and good specials now introduced - great!
It's worth making a reservation and ordering In advance--the Paella was wonderful, and service was kind & attentive. We greatly enjoyed our time there and Would return!
Absolutely fantastic food, lots of variety and so tasty!! Lovely staff and Spanish music playing. Loved the way each dish came out as it was ready and you could just order more as and when. I will definitely return next time I am in Harrogate!
Fantastic evening with lovely food and great service from Anna. Would recommend it and we will be back soon for another great night. Thanks again
Goods choices, good proportions. Pleasant and welcoming staff and a lovely taste experience. Would definitely go again for the foods. Surroundings a bit sparse and welcoming.
Lovely food, authentic tapas and not ridiculously expensive either. Must try the tuna loin, pork cheek and squid. Quite bright lighting but otherwise lovely place
Great food -wide and interesting choice. Good atmosphere with attentive service. We had the lamb special at £24.95 which seemed expensive but was delicious and a good helping for three people.
Delicious food and excellent service - only downside is probably the cost, but the food was fabulous and the wine just as so! The service from the moment we entered was really good with the staff always on hand and very responsive.
Gorgeous food, nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Well worth a visit. Reasonable prices and a good wine selection. Situated only a short walk from the centre and the main hotels and close to plenty of bars.
Excellent service and a great range of food. W were made to feel very welcome and would go there again. First time I have booked in this site
Great food, Great service, great wine. We had a lovely evening. The hake dish was fantastic! We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Harrogate.
Great service delicious food! It was a lovely atmosphere and a good selection of choices on the menu. Would definitely go again ! Real good grub
A cracking little restaurant with excellent tapas food. The tapas were exceptional and presented beautifully. The staff were efficient and attentive, just the service you want.
Great Meal, lovely choice of Tapas, I didn't know which of my favourites to have. It was modern Spanish tapas, every dish was beautifully arranged. My favourite was the octopus with lilac potatoes - try it for yourself!
Gave this place a chance due to seeing various positive reviews on tripadviser. So glad we did, absolutely loved it and will return! If you are in Harrogate and want to eat somewhere very nice- just go!
Warm welcome. Great food. Service was friendly and well informed. Especially liked the deconstructed gin and tonic dessert. Design of restaurant is contemporary and comfortable. Will definitely return.
First time visitors to la oliva and I really enjoyed the evening. Staff friendly and attentive. Food was excellent. We will definitely be visiting again.
We had a party of 13 on a quiet Tuesday, and La Oliva coped very well, the food was excellent, as was the service. I have been here several times and know that the food here is a cut above most Spanish or tapas restaurants, with real care taken over the ingredients, preparation, cooking, sauces, and presentation. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Great food. Great staff. As good if not better than in on the mainland. Spain to be found in Harrogate. What a gem of a restaurant. We will be back.
Fabulous food and great atmosphere in the tapas bar. Always love going to La Oliva. The staff are always very welcoming. Looking forward to our next visit.
We had a lovely evening. The food was very tasty and the staff friendly. The wine selected was also very good. I would definitely recommend La Oliva.
Really enjoyed the experience. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was lovely. the service was superb had a slight issue with the language barrier with some of the waiters/waitresses but would recommend La Oliva to anybody.
We love this restaurant. A warm welcome received every time we've been, and the food never disappoints. We've recommended it to so many people.
Excellent food, great staff - opened the kitchen half an hour early so we could get to our show on time. Fabulous experience, will be back!
fantastic food! Great presentation. Posh tapas! Music was slightly loud but otherwise can't fault the food! Will be back soon. The special today was fab!
Very friendly lovely staff. The bar area has a nice atmosphere. Food good, but not exceptional. Had Serrano and chorizo tapas and I would have loved a bit more bread or a salad with it. But good value for price.
