We came out for our anniversary meal recently. The food was really tasty and well presented. Staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. Our food was served very quickly, even from starter to main. It was a lovely place to eat, and on a hot summer evening felt like we could have been somewhere in Europe. One dampener on the evening was the clearing of outdoor furniture 8.30-9pm. That felt a little early, and while understandable (there were a lot to do, and I recognise they don't wish to leave them out) it did feel a little strange to have that going on while we were finishing main courses and coffees. I'd recommend an early evening booking to avoid that. Great place though. Would definitely return.

First, let’s talk about my horrible pictures. Sometimes, this food smells so delicious and the atmosphere is so wonderful, you just start eating and forget to take pictures. This was one of those times😎 To our surprise, Bradford on Avon has a wonderful selection of restaurants, you could just about each your way around the world. Tonight we wanted to visit the Mediterranean. Olea Mediterranean is located right on the river Avon, with patio, seating, and indoor seating. We booked via email without any difficulty whatsoever. When we arrived, we found a wonderfully boisterous, happy atmosphere. We were greeted warmly, and taken to our lovely table. The host, and our waiter, Jeff, we’re extremely welcoming and accommodating. We started with the mixed appetizer plate, and it was fantastic! Every single dipping sauce was spot on, and super flavorful. The toasted bread was still soft and chewy in the middle, absolutely perfect. For our means, we both decided to have the lamb shish kebab. The marinade of it was delicious, the meat was tender, and since we had sausage left over from our appetizer, we were able to include those flavors in as well. What a wonderful meal! We had a bit of fun with the bar staff and even introduced some thing that they decided to try themselves and loved. I mentioned to my wife that this was really more like going to a large party at somebody’s house rather than a restaurant. She absolutely agreed. As we were leaving, we chatted with the manager/owner, and our waiter, sharing that idea of a festival type of feeling. He replied, “Here at Olea, we don’t have any customers, only guests in our home.” It was truly wonderful to see that his ideal was completely played out all throughout the evening. Our only regret was that we had not discovered this wonderful place earlier in our five day stay. If we had, we definitely would’ve gone back!
