The Olive Press Review

This popular restaurant occupies a restored building that was a granary in the 1800s. Set beside the water in the city's revitalized canal-front district, its theatrical lighting showcases the massive beams and trusses that formed the skeleton of the building's original architecture. Menu items include a pleasing mix of comfort food and such chargrilled dishes as swordfish steak, brick-fired chump of lamb, or a whole grilled sea bream stuffed with lemon. Starters range from spicy lamb meatballs to chargrilled asparagus. The pastas and risottos are always reliable, as are the pizzas -- one made with coriander-flavored crabmeat. The restaurant caters to kids, offering special meals at £7.50 for them.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
