The best bar in Hammersmith. Fantastic service and great cocktails.

A great place for yummy cocktails and much appreciate in this rather quiet area. The only criticism I have is that the barstaff should try and get an icecrasher machine for their caipirinhas and similar cocktails. The noise the produce crashing the ice makes it impossible to understand each other if you sit close by the bar. Honestly it really takes away from the fun. Otherwise great food and brilliant atmosphere.

Having spent a lot of time working in New York recently, the service there (which is invariably good) was never as good as at The Olive Tree. Having eaten at The Olive Tree three times in the last month I have found the food and drink really excellent and very consistent. The cocktails beat Balthasar in Soho NY hands down and the kitchen can easily hold its own with anything in the East Village.

Dear AnonYou obviously forgot to mention in your review that The Olive Tree had to call the Police to get rid of your guests as they were drunk and fighting, but that must have been our fault as they did not eat!!!???!!! You must be joking. You did not book a Party you booked a Christening, you cannot have booked the venue untill midnight as we are only licenced till 10.30pm You managed to eat all of the food provided, you only ordered canapes for 30 people when 50 turned up, canape are just snacks not full meals. Do not blame us if your event was a disaster and do not write absolute rubbish just to make yourself feel better. Embarressed ? You should be.

The only reason I have not taken further the APPAULING service at The Olive Tree is because when I had a function there, 2 of my guests began to argue and I am very embarresed of this fact and its only fair to be honest but before this, we had spent alot of money on canapes which were CRAP and even with the large amount of money we spent our guests were leaving to go and eat elswhere!! they were starving also the staff are very rude, we booked the venue till midnight and at 7 were asked when we were leaving (this was while i had about 5 people left) also, had to ask them if it would be ok to hear the music that we had supplied as you couldnt tell it was on and it was a party and instead got a mouthful from the very stroppy waitress!! I could go on and on, they really did spoil an important day and what i thought would be fantastic! (with exception of course of my 2 guests who were probably very drunk after not having any food to soak up the bar tab!!)would not suggest anyone go there particularly not for a private function!!
