Had a lovely time. Great food and lovely staff. Would recommend
Very warm and welcoming. Food excellent and staff that go the extra mile. We will be returning with the rest of the family, for fine homemade food and great company
Delicious food, lovely lunchtime atmosphere, and great service. Felt like a real slice of the Mediterranean in Manchester.
Looking forward to coming again soon, wonderful food and friendly staff
food was lovely, except Calimari, which was soggy. Overall good
Very attentive but not intrusive service. We commented to the waiter about the paella not being very flavoursome and it was removed for the bill without us asking which was a lovely touch.
Great food and atmosphere . Had a mixture of small plates and kebabs.
Amazing place with great food and excellent service (5*) :)
Great food, nice place, Keo beer - an enjoyable evening.
Basically Greek Tapas but better than any Tapas I've had before. Everything cooked to perfection. Service faultless.
Lovely staff, wonderful food and what we didn’t finish we could take home! Great offers so was excellent value too.
Great food and a pleasant atmosphere attentive staff and good value.
Favourite restaurant in Didsbury. Always amazing food and lovely service
Great service, great food and really easy on the wallet. We love you Olive and Vine 😀
Love coming to this restaurant but unfortunately the food was cold tonight so we weren’t able to finish it all
I think that the Greek desserts need the be better. If the baklava fylo is not crispy, there is a problem! Also too sweet as well.
Friendly waiters and great food made for an excellent evening
Tasty food, fab service, great atmosphere. A great birthday treat.
Absolutely delicious, service was 2nd to none , can’t wait to go back !
Excellent service. Amazing food. Brilliant gluten free options. Desert option only ice cream though for gf.
Great food and atmosphere !! We had to wait a little because they were so busy but it was worth it !! Fish scewers were amazing x would recommend olive and vine definitely xx
Good food, lots of options, reasonably priced, good atmosphere - what's not to like! If you like tapas and you like Greek food, this is the place for you.
The food was amazing and was brought out really quickly despite the restaurant being really busy. The staff were lovely and very accommodating. We will definitely come back again!
The food and service was lovely. The reason for my lower score is the table we were given was right by the front door so we had a draft every time someone walked in.
We went here for a birthday meal.. and we will definitely go back again.. food was superb and the service was second to none. A little bit of Greece in Didsbury, just perfect.
Really tasty food, but the service was by far below standard. We were in and out in less than 1hr!. We had the waiters rushing us to order and whilst eating our mains....they were clearing the plates before we had finished with them. I can't slate the food as it was nice, but it felt like we were just part of a conveyabelt and we couldn't enjoy the night
I had Dmitri’s mixed grill and my girlfriend 3 mezes. Was more than enough food!!! Great price and a fantastic great service. Would recommend to everyone
Really nice relaxed meal and environment that was authentic. Fantastic service and food I can’t recommend it enough! We will will definitely be going back again. The meze was great plenty of choice for vegetarians and the skewers my other half had were great too. Thanks for a great evening O&V !
The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and made us feel right at home. Thank you so much for a wonderful night.
Once again, amazing food. January offer of £5 memes still valid despite the fact it was Feb. Brilliant and attentive, without being overbearing, service. The potatoes are the best ever. Will be back again and again and again if the high standards continue.
Very friendly and efficient staff. We ordered our food one dish at a time without any problems. Love this place, the staff and the food
This restaurant has always been top of our favourite list and we visit on a regular basis but after the experience we had on Saturday night we don't think we will be returning. We were shown to our table and given menus but no drinks order was taken at that point. The restaurant wasn't overly busy but the staff didn't seem to know what they were doing. We didn't recognise any of the staff so wondered if something had changed. After around 25 minutes a waiter came to take our order and we asked why nobody had taken a drinks order, he apologised and to avoid any further delay we ordered starters, mains and drinks at the same time. The menu on their website is not the same as the menu you are given on arrival at the restaurant, only subtle changes but, nevertheless, different. The starters arrived before the drinks and were only warm. The Melintzana and Chorizo bites were not presented/cooked as they usually are and were definitely below standard. The stuffed bell peppers are no longer available, even though they are listed on the menu you download from their website. The drinks arrived eventually and so did the mains, even though we were still eating the starters, which is not acceptable. One of the dishes we ordered as a main wasn't served and when I asked where it was the waiter said he didn't have it written down. He offered to get it for us but by that time we were rapidly losing interest due to the poor quality of the food and service. I ordered the beef steak skewer with rice and salad. It also had what was supposed to be roasted vegetables with it but they were more like wet boiled vegetables, not pleasant at all. The salad looked like it was from a prepacked bag you find in the supermarket. The last time I had a skewer there, back in October, it was served with a lovely fresh salad and was delicious but sadly this was not the case on Saturday night. We asked for the bill, after leaving most of the food, and the waiter offered to bring us a platter sweets but we politely refused. On leaving the restaurant we were asked if we had enjoyed the evening so my Husband asked if the restaurant had new owners. We were told they are going through some changes so we gave feedback that the changes were not for the better and we were very disappointed that a restaurant we love will now sadly be crossed off out favourite list unless they can get the service and quality of food back to how it used to be.
Great atmosphere, great food and large meze portions. Just wish we could've been advised there was only a 2hr slot at the time of booking. We only found out on arrival. One of our party is a slower eater and we had to be rushed away from our table to let the next booking in. It was busy and I understand the need to get everyone in but we would've preferred a more relaxing time. However, service still friendly.
Little night with my friends away from the children. Lovely service, lovely food as always. Relaxing atmosphere. Love it here! Always come back for more. Fabulous
As usual had a good evening with my parents and my wife food and service very good thank you
We went on New Year’s Eve, and even though it was really busy there was a Great atmosphere. selection of food was great, servers very attentive and nice wine selection, will most certainly be back
Delicious food and nice beer would recommend everything on the menu. If you get half a chance you must go there!! Nice atmosphere too x
Friendly staff plenty to choose from on the menu especially if you are vegetarian as a member of are party was good value for money and a lovely atmosphere.
Food was tasty, however there was a few large xmas partys going which made it very loud at the time. Also 2 dishes were missed off our order and then they still brought out the wrong dish to fix it. Still lovely food though and I would still go back again. Think they just a bit overwelmed with the parties going on.
Fabulous restaurant. Great food, excellent service and very pleasant staff. Nice to find a family orientated eatery. The quantity and quality of the food was exceptional. Will definitely visit again.
Lovely staff, friendly atmosphere and food was great. Only meal I wouldn't recommend was the paella which wasn't very enjoyable but overall the rest of the food was fantastic!
Really nice environment and very good meal. Good service so no complaints at all. Reasonably priced and good selection of drinks. Mezes particularly enjoyable and portions were generous.
We visited Olive and Vine in Didsbury on Sunday evening 11th November . Our experience was excellent from start to finish. We enjoyed the ambience, the wonderful live jazz band and comfortable seating area on arrival. We ordered wine which came straight away and then ordered from the Greek meze menu. The wine list is perfect for the different menus and we chose a white Rioja for our meal. The choice of food was amazing, we had chosen from all parts of the menu (fish, vegetables, and meat). The sauces that came with the cod, lamb and chicken were delicious. I'm only sorry they ran out of the beef stifado as this is a favourite. Portion sizes meant the meal was very good value, we are definitely returning!
Great Greek tapas, always makes me feel like being home. I have tried most of the tapas now, and I can say that (at least the Greek ones) taste exactly like the ones you have in Greece. A bit disappointed with the Greek dessert platter, as the saragli was a bit dry; too much yogurt also. Try the ‘tiropita’ (cheese wrapped into filo pastry) or the dolmades (rice and herbs into vine leafs). To complete the experience, get a mythos, Greek lager, or a boutari! Besides the excellent food you will find a very friendly service and a very nice environment. I think also the prices are very reasonable, great value for money. As always, can’t wait for the next time!!!
Excellent food - very friendly staff - excellent house red wine and value for money. We didn't have to wait and staff were positive and attentive. A very relaxing atmosphere.
Great food, great service, mezze deal was really good value - family atmosphere in the restaurant. Catered for gluten free really well. Would go back
Really tasty food, great menu variety of both tapas and meze selection, lovely cosy feel, fantastic friendly and attentive staff. We will definitely be back!
we had Sunday lunch. Great service. Thank you. Setting was nice. Food was a bit dry. Pudding was great. Good value. Head waiter very friendly.
The service and price was good, but the food was not up to standard. And there was a really rowdy group of ladies that stopped us being to have a proper conversation, without us having to talk a little louder.
Came for my birthday for a meal and had a great time. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was all delicious. Food was also served quickly as well!
