We had a fantastic dining experience at Ginger Olive. We got the BBQ and seafood platters along with some desserts, which all tasted amazing. The waitstaff were incredibly kind and helpful.

What a great place. Friendly staff. Super quick service. Conveniently located around the corner from the Regent Theatre. We had the Signature Tasting Platter - which was plenty for two - a bowl of chips and garlic bread. It was all delicious and rounded it out with the New York Cheesecake and the Sticky Date Pudding. The New York Cheesecake was really really good and just the right size for one ;). It was really creamy and the berry compote was really good - not too sweet or sour. The Sticky Date Pudding was also delicious - it was bigger than the cheesecake so would be good to share if you are looking to end with a taste of something sweet. Will definitely go back.

For the price the food was very average. The garlic bread was cold inside. My pasta was just ok not really packing much flavour. My partner had fish that was a massive serving of fish with almost no vegetables
