I shouldn't tell anyone about Olive Tree ... our neighbourhood secret. But that would not be fair to them. Amazing place with a great menu. Their specialty is their "lady steak" ... a 300 gm (yes, it's aged and amazing and the have a bigger 400 gm one for really hungry guests) with crunchy veges and chips (you have to ask for these and the somehow are always perfect). I skip the sizzle plate so the steak doesn't keep cooking. Good sauces too. AND BYO (wine list good and lots of different beers). Specials are extensive, good entrees and deserts. Actually really good value for money. If you live locally and try it once, it will be your new Fav.

Awesome food especially the steaks. Our local ‘go to’ is so good ... I don’t want it to be too popular! Great family restaurant with an Italian twist. Really good value too.
