   Definitely a quantity over quality place however the food was great value for the price quoted. Service was great and very friendly so happy to pay the 10% tip. Good place for a quick tasty bite.

   Restaurant war sehr schön, die Bedienung super nett und das Essen war grundsätzlich sehr gut. Leider war bei einem Burger das Fleisch extrem trocken, dafür aber die Fries sehr knusperig. Preis/Leistung in Ordnung. Zu empfehlen!

    The service was very disappointing. Food took over one hour to come and drinks around 30 mins. They weren't even that busy. They apologised however continued to provide terrible service by not clearing our dirty plates or asking if we wanted desert. I've been here many times over the years and generally like it however the service really let it down on my last visit.

    The Olive BranchGereageerd op 30 juni 2022Hi Natalie. Thanks for your comments. We're sorry you didn't have the experience you have come to expect from the Olive Branch. You were served by one of our new members of staff who unfortunately delayed getting your order to the kitchen, hence the time it took to get your food. We've taken your other feedback on board and will be ensuring that we give some more training to our new staff members. We hope this experience doesn't deter you from visiting again.

    I was with my grown up kids for an early Father’s Day meal. Service was initially slow as we had a late attendee. Drinks ordered took forever to arrive and it was because ‘they were really busy’ - it wasn’t. Food is really good so that’s a big plus. Trying to get the eye of a service person proved difficult throughout. Asked for the bill - waited 10 minutes then just went up and asked for it. “We’re really busy” was the same reply - not an apology - and it’s not like the place was flooded with people. So in summary, food is great, service dreadful (oh and they put 10% on your bill for the service you don’t get).

    The Olive BranchGereageerd op 20 juni 2022Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry you didn't have a great experience with us. We were busier than expected on the day of your visit, so although it may not have appeared overly busy, our staff were dealing with a number of customers. We have since added more staff on at busier times to ensure we are able to provide the level of service our customers expect. We hope you would consider visiting us again.

    I'd just ordered a club sandwich, the bacon was pale pink and fatty and not cooked properly. The side salad was one lettuce leaf with dressing. But worse than that, I went to wash my hands and the floors ourside the kitchen and the toilet was absolutely filthy and covered in greasy footprints. The toilets were disgusting. I wish I hadn't eaten there and will advise everyone not to go.

    The Olive BranchGereageerd op 20 juni 2022Hi Julie. Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We're sorry you didn't have a great experience. We were very busy on the weekend that you visited us. We have recently reviewed staffing levels and added more staff on at busier periods to ensure that staff have adequate time to deal with customers and keep all areas clean and tidy, which can be particularly challenging on busy, wet days such as the day you visited.

    Honestly - one of the best meals I have had in years. The food was DELICIOUS (so many options for a lactose intolerant person like myself) - and the staff were absolutely delightful. My mum and I are here on holiday and this restaurant was mentioned by someone we met as a great local dining spot - it exceeded expectations and was our favourite meal / evening of the trip! This will now be our biggest Edinburgh recommendation to pass on! Thanks so much for giving us such a lovely night (and running after us with our forgotten bags!!)

    The Olive BranchGereageerd op 20 juni 2022Really glad you enjoyed it so much, and happy to have been able to provide some options for you! Hope to see you again if you are visiting Edinburgh.
