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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
