La Oliva

Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere. The food was excellent. If I have any gripes it would be the cheese board. I was expecting a selection of Spanish cheese and only got Manchega! It was very good though

Superb service , outstanding food in a relaxed environment, all you could wish for and more. Highly recommended. Will be going again the next time we are in Harrogate.

Excellent!!! Every dish totally delicious and we suspect that this would have been the case whatever we ordered! Wines very good and complimentary. Would definitely recommend.

excellent food very authentic, great service and attention to customers. very lively and nice new design. broad menu and good specials now introduced - great!

Fantastic as always. Some of the best tapas I've ever had, great choice on the drinks menu and there is always a very warm welcome from the staff. Highly recommended.

It's worth making a reservation and ordering In advance--the Paella was wonderful, and service was kind & attentive. We greatly enjoyed our time there and Would return!

Absolutely fantastic food, lots of variety and so tasty!! Lovely staff and Spanish music playing. Loved the way each dish came out as it was ready and you could just order more as and when. I will definitely return next time I am in Harrogate!

Fantastic evening with lovely food and great service from Anna. Would recommend it and we will be back soon for another great night. Thanks again

Goods choices, good proportions. Pleasant and welcoming staff and a lovely taste experience. Would definitely go again for the foods. Surroundings a bit sparse and welcoming.

Great food -wide and interesting choice. Good atmosphere with attentive service. We had the lamb special at £24.95 which seemed expensive but was delicious and a good helping for three people.

Lovely food, authentic tapas and not ridiculously expensive either. Must try the tuna loin, pork cheek and squid. Quite bright lighting but otherwise lovely place

Great service delicious food! It was a lovely atmosphere and a good selection of choices on the menu. Would definitely go again ! Real good grub

Gorgeous food, nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Well worth a visit. Reasonable prices and a good wine selection. Situated only a short walk from the centre and the main hotels and close to plenty of bars.

Excellent service and a great range of food. W were made to feel very welcome and would go there again. First time I have booked in this site

A cracking little restaurant with excellent tapas food. The tapas were exceptional and presented beautifully. The staff were efficient and attentive, just the service you want.

Great Meal, lovely choice of Tapas, I didn't know which of my favourites to have. It was modern Spanish tapas, every dish was beautifully arranged. My favourite was the octopus with lilac potatoes - try it for yourself!

Delicious food and excellent service - only downside is probably the cost, but the food was fabulous and the wine just as so! The service from the moment we entered was really good with the staff always on hand and very responsive.

Great food, Great service, great wine. We had a lovely evening. The hake dish was fantastic! We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Harrogate.

Great food. Great staff. As good if not better than in on the mainland. Spain to be found in Harrogate. What a gem of a restaurant. We will be back.

We had a party of 13 on a quiet Tuesday, and La Oliva coped very well, the food was excellent, as was the service. I have been here several times and know that the food here is a cut above most Spanish or tapas restaurants, with real care taken over the ingredients, preparation, cooking, sauces, and presentation. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

First time visitors to la oliva and I really enjoyed the evening. Staff friendly and attentive. Food was excellent. We will definitely be visiting again.

Gave this place a chance due to seeing various positive reviews on tripadviser. So glad we did, absolutely loved it and will return! If you are in Harrogate and want to eat somewhere very nice- just go!

Warm welcome. Great food. Service was friendly and well informed. Especially liked the deconstructed gin and tonic dessert. Design of restaurant is contemporary and comfortable. Will definitely return.

We love this restaurant. A warm welcome received every time we've been, and the food never disappoints. We've recommended it to so many people.

Fabulous food and great atmosphere in the tapas bar. Always love going to La Oliva. The staff are always very welcoming. Looking forward to our next visit.

Very friendly lovely staff. The bar area has a nice atmosphere. Food good, but not exceptional. Had Serrano and chorizo tapas and I would have loved a bit more bread or a salad with it. But good value for price.

fantastic food! Great presentation. Posh tapas! Music was slightly loud but otherwise can't fault the food! Will be back soon. The special today was fab!

Really enjoyed the experience. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was lovely. the service was superb had a slight issue with the language barrier with some of the waiters/waitresses but would recommend La Oliva to anybody.

Excellent food, great staff - opened the kitchen half an hour early so we could get to our show on time. Fabulous experience, will be back!

We had a lovely evening. The food was very tasty and the staff friendly. The wine selected was also very good. I would definitely recommend La Oliva.

The service we received was amazing however the food was expensive and didn't have much flavour to it. The chorizo bruschetta was very nice and I would recommend!

On arrival we were shown to our booked table and presented with the menu, 5 minutes later the waitress returned to take our order. We were then told that they were in the process of reviewing their menu and 6/7 options were no longer available, which was a slight problem, because there was only 20 options available on the menu.

We were the first in that evening so it lacked a bit of atmosphere but it soon picked up and we cannot fault the staff and the food. A most enjoyable experience.

booked a meal for 4, the food was excellent with a great choice for both vegetarians and non veggies, staff were lovely and friendly definately recommend it

An excellent early Sunday evening family meal - varied and delicious tapas, with several daily specials, fresh Spanish themed ambience and friendly, attentive service, topped off with a fruity Rioja!

lovely little restaurant, perfect amount of choice on the menu which is really authentic. Food was fantastic and dishes served as they were ready. Staff very helpful with recommending number of dishes to order

First time visiting this restaurant! The food was amazing the only thing they didn't have was Prawns which we were looking forward to, but guess they are popular! The atmosphere was very traditional! Staff were very helpful too. Would recommend :-)

Great little place - excellent service and tasty food. A good atmosphere for an enjoyable night. Would definitely go again, was reasonably priced so good value.

Fantastic food, all delicious, we ordered too much as usual and had to rush as we were going to the theatre. All dishes were fantastic, great wine too and lovely staff. Highly recommended, will be back soon

Probably one of the worst dining experiences ever. It took 20 mins before someone even asked if we wanted a drink, then another 20 minutes before someone took an order. The tapas then arrived roughly 20 minutes apart. The first dish arrived, potatas bravas then we waited and waited and waited. They came over an asked, "Do you want anything?" and I said "Some food". They even started clearing our plates away before we'd had the last tapas delivered. Pathetic. They said the kitchen was busy, but half the tables were empty and a large family next to us were eating ice cream. The food was OK but really nothing special. In the corner next to us was a dying little olive tree. Probably hasn't had a drink in months. Sort of said it all.

We visited on a Friday evening. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The wine list excellently complimented the food. All the dishes we chose were delicious. A great evening. Thank you Oliva

Was v nice but basically paid £6 for some aldi chorizo and bread. Generally the food was great, but you got incredibly little for what you paid. Very nice, but kind of takes the mick with the quantity of food you get. I just went and i'm off for a pizza LOL.

Fabulous tapas...I had amazing tapas in Barcelona but this was even better. Lovely venue and also the MOST helpful and obliging staff. I've been here twice now when visiting Harrogate--it's a must!! Great Sangria too. Alos very reasonable.

My husband and I had a lovely meal at La Olivia: the canapés were light and delicious. We both chose the calves liver for main which was cooked beautifully. The vegetables were also cooked just right and were varied. We particularly liked the tempura courgette. The Creme brule was delicious. The menu as a whole was very varied. The staff were very smart, efficient and polite. We had the added treat of meeting the local artist whose beautiful pictures adorned the walls. A lovely restaurant and would recommend it.

Yet another fantastic meal with great service. Delicious freshly cooked tapas and the pineapple carpaccio for dessert is divine! Looking forward to our next visit.

Excellent authentic restaurant with great service and amazing food. I would highly recommend this Harrogate restaurant for anyone looking for something special in a relaxed environment

Fantastic tapas, every dish was delicious, the staff were professional and helpful. Will definitely be back 😃 Can't pick a favourite, everything was great and the wine was great too!

Generally very good food. The atmosphere is an acquired taste though - very modern and 'Euro-chic' rather than 'cosy'. The iberian pork was really very tasty.

Superb food, lovely red wine and great atmosphere. Attentive staff, interesting decor and a really great find. Will go back when we are back in Harrogate in next.

I always enjoy La Olivia. The food and wine are great and the staff are lovely. It feels like it has been picked out of Spain and dropped into Harrogate!
