Olive Tree Hotel Reviews
Wife ordered squid to find coating paler than normal, but otherwise fine to eat. Spent the night unable to sleep due to stomach pain and was sick this morning. You'll be getting no more of our business until your chefs learn how to cook. Avoid - and Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animals!

Went with boyfriend and mum for my birthday dinner. My mum and I both had the porterhouse steak which was so yummy - definitely recommend. We tried 3 desserts, mousse, crumble and sticky date pudding. All were really nice. Staff were nice and professional. Will be back soon!

Went for dinner had barramundi with vegetables potatoes deep fried looked a week old veggies tarnished and withered tasteless also had stir fried chicken this resembles a soup made with sugar and salt overall a disappointment. Won’t be back Service was however good hence a few stars.

We love Olive Tree, great meals and friendly staff. Windy is the kids favourite host/wait staff 😊 she always remembers their names and makes them laugh.

We held a celebration of life for my dad in the covered courtyard- it was lovely and well priced. The staff were awesome and helped me get my presentation working on the big screen. Would recc’d as a cheaper alternative to funeral service (the celebration of life package was reasonably priced). Guests commented the event we ran was not dreary and sad but uplifting and a true reflection of my dad and family. It was a great day
Thank you

Waited 2.5 hours with kids finally got the kids' food, but still no food for us. The kids finished their food and ice cream, why we are still waiting. A few customers were complaining if there is going to be a wait, it would be good to be told we got there at 12pm leaving at 3 pm still hungry

Utterly disappointed with the poor quality of our porterhouse steak chips salad and mushroom gravy
Steak was half the advertised 300g weightand overcooked
Use to have the best chips in Sunbury however the quality of the said chip's were sad sorry shrivelled and dry
You could count the number of mushrooms in the gravy on one hand
Salad? NO DRESSING
Whole meal was unpalatable and a huge disappointment to the previously high standards and quality of meals
Then we were accused by the Manager telling her staff that we were 'nitpicking!'
The discussion we overheard between them and shows their inability to take ownership of their inability to provide value for money and then the Manager said we hadn't even said 'sorry'???
Excuse me?
Will never frequent this establishment again and ensure we advise others not to waste their good hard-earned money at The Olive Tree

Use to love the food here but I think there must have been a change of ownership. Tonight I had the Chicken Kiev with prawns and creamy sauce I was really looking forward to it. When it come out looked good but not much sauce so I cut the chicken in half and there was no garlic butter at all in the chicken everything was dry even the rice. I asked for some extra sauce and 20 minutes later still no sauce I called the manager over and explained to her no garlic sauce and hardly any creamy sauce she really didn't care and went and got my extra sauce by then it was cold and I couldn't eat it. Very disappointing for the prices they are charging. On a good note my mum loved her meal.

Ordered a Guinness beer and glass wasn't full, then received my dessert only to look at my mates dessert who ordered the same thing and mine was smaller in quantity. Will not be going there again.

Nice food, I had the squid salt and pepper. Cooked to perfection and a nice salad dressing with the meals side salad.
All our meals were well presented
One thing the bar staff needs to know.
You do Not open a can of Guinness and serve it in the can. You MUST open it and immediately pour it into a glass and then serve it with a frothy head. Not flat and tasteless.

Love the food but wish there was more drink options.
Anyway I wasted $6 on Uber Eats no can of coke with my order with a nice mango pav and fries with gravy bacon.
If the bags or orders ain't going to be checked especially when I'm not 100 per cent had a couple of days of whats the point of Uber at night time.
I'm sure other people have had it a millions times worse than me.

Late lunch. It was pleasant. Dinner must be the better time to eat here but still pleasant. Waitress was brilliant n a win on the pokies helped.

I was with my family today the 22nd December we were on table 14
I was not happy with how the meals came out
Every one except me got their meals
By the time my meal came everyone had finished their meals
I had the Christmas dinner turkey
And Christmas pudding
I paid 35.00 for this meal I wanted to be able to eat my meal along with my family
When I went to speak to the waitress and the manger they said they are under staff well that's not the customers fault
Two people to serve a full room off customers is so wrong
I fell like I should have not paid for my meal
I am afraid to say I will not be coming back to the OLIVE TREE
THANKS VERY UPSET CUSTOMER 👎
PLUS PARKING IS SHOCKING

Having written 490 reviews and 450 being for food places, i do not like writing bad reviews. But after much consideration, i am writing this review and its totally correct in my opinion.
We attended as a large group of seniors and one none senior. The food dished up as seniors meals was well below reasonable standard- fish over cooked, parma wasnt even a parma it was a slither of over cooked chicken. Were as the one non senior meal was beautiful cooked and well presented. Also the Coffee was cold. Maybe it was just a bad day. Will not be coming back

Great restaurant with lots one the menu. Been going here for a few years and it never disappoints.
Plenty if onsite parking out the back near the beer garden.
I highly recommend this place if you need a nice night out for dinner or lunch. There is also a games room with some pokey machines.

Good atmosphere. The service was reasonable considering it was early afternoon and the food was excellent considering the price.
Would recommend as a good option for lunch.

A++
Great ambiance with a neatly presented, fresh fitout. The mood lighting is good and enough spaces between tables allows for meaningful conversation.
Food
The Wagyu burger is a generous serving. The meat patty was proper, (no rubbery hard bits). Fresh lettuce, and soft buns.
I recommend the Veal Parmigiana. Very tasty!
Dessert
I recommend the sticky date pudding with cream.
Coffee
The caffe latte is robust in flavour.
The staff are friendly and well presented.
I consider this place a great find. It's not a place you stumble into but more a place you stumble upon.
