First visit. Friendly staff, food didn't take long and was nice. Toilets clean. Queuing at bar was a challenge as no system & some people (men) pushed in front, squeezing through and getting served before others who waiting longer (including me). Cocktails also nice.
Had the hot shot parmo, was delicious, homemade chunky chips with skin on. The parmesan had a nice warming glow, with a nice cheese that came through so you could taste it all. To date, I would rate it one of the best I have had. Staff are friendly and considerate, and I will definitely be coming back to try something else. Atmosphere, it wasn't busy but had nice music playing.
We really stumbled onto this place while trying to find the tall ship at the Naval museum. Go past the museum and at the roundabout take the exit to the marina. It's removed from the busy A19 but there are a wealth of pubs and restaurants back there. The Black Olive looks pretty inconspicuous from outside. Inside it's quite lush with luxe velvety furnishings and crystal chandeliers. We had the Black Oliver burger and really enjoyed it. It came with a lovely fresh crisp side salad. The chips were truly handcut and triple baked. The beef burger was made from nice ground chuck. The staff were friendly and used down time to clean. Beautiful setting on the marina and there are two ice cream shops in the same area.
