Overview

Tucked away on Park Street in South Melbourne, The Olive Tree is more than just a restaurant. It’s an experience. You walk in, and there’s this cozy, rustic vibe that makes you feel at home right away. Honestly, it’s that kind of place where you can kick back and enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. With a solid 4.5 out of 5 rating from over 540 reviews, that can’t be a coincidence, right?

The menu? Oh boy, where do I start! If you’re a steak lover, you’re in for a treat. Many folks rave about their wagyu and scotch fillet steak. You might even find yourself thinking, “Did I just have one of the best steaks ever?” And if seafood’s your jam, you can’t miss their fresh oysters. A friend took her clients there recently post-lockdown, and let me tell you: the rave reviews about the carbonara and the atmosphere were flowing as freely as the wine!

Speaking of ambiance, it’s chill enough for a casual dinner but fancy enough for a special occasion. The decor takes you back, almost like a cute little Italian inn. Plus, they’ve got a nice wine list to complement your meal. Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner or just hanging out with friends, this place delivers.

On the service front, you’ll find the staff to be friendly and attentive, with some guests claiming they felt nearly pampered. They’re eager to help but aren’t pushy about it. Sure, you might encounter an off day—some diners mentioned a hiccup here and there—but overall, the service seems pretty awesome.

Reservations are definitely a good idea, especially on weekends when the place fills up. They’re open for lunch and dinner during the week, and believe me, you might want to linger over dessert, ‘cause they’ve got that covered too!

All in all, if you find yourself in South Melbourne and are craving a bite that feels both comforting and upscale, The Olive Tree might just be your next favorite spot. Don’t sleep on it; check them out!
