Last night I had a pizza with a friend and asked for some chilli oil. It arrived in a small bowl with a spoon rather than a bottle and spout.The pizza was good, but the bill included a charge of £1 for chilli oil. I have NEVER been charged for chilli oil in any other restaurant. There was no charge for the extra parmesan my friend had.Just seemed so unnecessary and left a bad taste at the end of the meal.Dear Ian, thanks for your feedback. Sorry you feel you left with a bad taste in your mouth. Please allow me to explain that we buy fresh chillies, then olive oil goes in it to add flavour. The extra fresh chilli pot is a side or an item extra requested by the customer.

We were a party of six and was looking forward to coming here again to eat some really good indian dishes and once again,we were not disappointed. On arrival,we was warmly welcomed and shown to a nice comfortable table which gave plenty of room for us all. This time, I chose the Achari lamb dish which is pieces of lamb cooked with hot pickles and it was really good and not to much heat. We all chose different dishes from the large menu and there was no complaints from anyone.

I treated my daughter in law to a birthday meal at Quindici. The food was very nice. My daughter in law was celebrating her 40 birthday and took a bottle of non alcoholic Prosecco to the restaurant. We were told that a charge of £15 would be for corkage. We explained it was a vey special birthday celebration and that she cannot have alcohol as sheâs pregnant. This was completely disregarded. We ordered a 3 course meal. When her dessert arrived there was no candle and then we were charged £12 on our bill for bringing our non alcoholic prosecco which this restaurant do not sell. We felt this was very disappointing customer service and very short sighted. We have been to other Italian restaurants in the area who said this was not a problem and no charge.Hello Thank you for your review Firstly I apologise if there was no candle on your daughters dessert, that should have been acknowledged by us and Iâm sorry we forgot to do so.Secondly , unfortunately we are a business of which our main aim is to earn money to survive , we cannot afford for customers to bring their own drinks and not buy ours. We donât offer non alcoholic Prosecco but we do offer other non alcoholic drinks, which I also advised you of on the evening. We sell Prosecco for £27 a bottle, so I felt charging a corkage of £15 for your NON alcoholic Prosecco was fair, considering the only other drinks you had were water..... You complained £15 was too much so I then took it upon myself to charge you less, £12 corkage. Iâm sorry that you feel itâs still unfair for my business to charge for drinks being brought onto a LICENSED premises (sole aim being to SELL products) and Iâm also sorry we are not the same as other restaurants you go to who do not charge corkage. Unfortunately my family and I need money in order to survive ....Kind regards James

WOW, what an amazing day at the Olive Tree in Loughton Essex for our Mum's 80th birthday. From start to finish, Manos and his team were brilliant and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble, from choosing our own menu to bringing in our own decorations and entertainer. Manos and the lady looking after us even joined in the dancing with our guests. The food was delicious, with good size portions and beautifully presented. The side room that was allocated to us for our party, was the perfect space for our Mum's 80th birthday. With a beautiful venue, superb service and tip top food, together with our own amazing singer and entertainer - FiL Straughan, our day was perfect in every way. Thank you to everyone for making it so special. xxx

We had two meals here, dinner and breakfast, one poor, one reasonable. Dinner, I ordered sirloin steak with roast tomatoes and hand cut chips. I received rib-eye steak, a heavily dressed salad and although they were the shape of hand cut chips were more akin to poorly cooked roast potatoes. My wife ordered Ballatine chicken with crispy potato cake and spinach. The bacon jacket was overcooked and hard and the potato cake was soft, mushy and undercooked, but the spinach was nice. Breakfast was much better, full English and/or continental. generally it was quite good with eggs fried to order, but once again the bacon whilst plentiful was overcooked and quite hard. I believe there are alternative eateries in close proximity to the hotel, I think that any future visit would necessitate finding one of them.

An excellent choice for a birthday dinner (40 plus guests!) - delicious food, good service, undisturbed seating for such a large group, great live singer - and a space to dance - plus an attentive, hands-on owner (Vince). All in all, a very enjoyable, happy night out.Thank you, glad you enjoyed your evening. Look forward to seeing you soon..

Wish I had come across this little cafe sooner! Great menu for breakfast and lunch. Food nicely presented too and friendly service. Only recommendation would be to offer more interesting drinks such as chocolate bar milkshakes like oreo or terryâs chocolate orange then it would be perfect for me! Will definitely return and also looking forward to visiting the Hoddesdon branch!

A real delight. Kitchen skills, presentation and service are all excellent. Staff have been carefully recruited and very well trained. For us the dessert on the tasting menu was slightly out of balance (a little too heavy after 5 courses with extras, and the flavouring of thyme was a bit unsubtle) but overall a delightful meal carefully created, skilfully prepared and beautifully presented. Damn good chef and excellent front of house.Watch this space for further well deserved awards - a 3rd rosette must surely be overdue, and a star can't be far behind. Recommended.

Went with a friend and was very impressed with the service and food. Went with a groupon voucher which was a bargain for 2 people. Only thing Iâd say is more seasoning on the battered plaice, was a tad under seasoned. Love the noodles and chicken in the omelette.
