   We came to The Olive House tonight to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and as always everything was perfect. We don't go anywhere else in Basingstoke.

   Our waiter kept forgetting what we were asking. I had to ask for a beer 4 times, and also the side I had requested to come with my main arrived after repeatedly asking for it. The atmosphere of the place is actually very nice. The food was worse than I anticipated based on the reviews. I'm a big fan of Turkish cuisine and this was probably my worst experience at a Turkish restaurant.

   The restaurant has a lovely feeling but in my opinion it was very over priced for what you got, 1 sml bottle of peroni £6.90, £21.50 for what looked like a childs dinner, I left there feeling hungry and for the large bill we got was very frustrating to have to go home and get something to eat. I will certainly not be returning there. The one at the top of town is alot more value for money.

   Was very busy on a Wednesday evening. Service was timely & friendly to enable us to leave on time for our Anvil concert. It's always a pleasure to return!

    Lovely restaurant. Friendly staff. Very good food. I have allergies and chef amended menu choice to accommodate me. We booked at 5.30 on a Saturday ( pre theatre meal) The restaurant was packed before we left so best to pre book. Excellent experience.
