    Nice ambiance but food had to be returned as fish was tepid and the steak was blue. Fish was returned reheated so needed to be returned again! Steak was re cooked. This experience spoilt our visit to this restaurant. No apology was made by staff. We will not return.

    Lovely restaurant. Every time we stay in the area we go for a meal. Never changes, constantly good food, great environment and friendly staff, would definitely recommend. You won’t regret it.

    Our annual visit to the Costa del Sol always includes a visit to El Olivo as it is our favourite restaurant. This visit and food quality was as good as ever however as a result of being extremely busy we felt that we did not get the normal level of service as we have in our visits over the last 15 years. Despite this slight disappointment we will be back again next year.

    The Restaurant was wonderful . Varied selection of foods and lots of specials added on the night. The food was amazing, taste and presentation was outstanding. Portion sizes were generous. Great value for money. Definitely worth a visit

    This was our first visit to El Olivo de La Cala and certainly not our last. We never knew about this hidden gem until friends recommended it to us. The food, setting, staff and ambience were top class. Have future bookings made.

    Good service. Police waiters. Good food. My only complaint is I love fish but don’t eat shellfish and all the fish dishes came with shellfish.

    We always love coming here, esp in colder months when we sit by the fire. Staff should stay alert towards end of dining… took too long. Having said that, overall and with past experience we love coming here, all are very friendly and helpful. The food is amazing. The irish coffee better than we very often get elsewhere! Compliments ????.
