The Red Lion - Market Rasen

This is now an Italian restaurant. I don 't like Italian food. Interesting eh? If you would like an informative chat about the place, ask Scott Oyston who had what he described as a 'splendid evening ' here. Must have been some night!

Summary: Nice food at a reasonable price, but staff and reception could definitely be improved! The long version: Went for a meal in the evening with reservations, got through the door and waited to be greeted/shown to our table.. And waited, and waited... Several staff members buzzing around and each and every one of them ignoring us entirety, and even pushing past us (no excuse me ! . Eventually the manager came over and asked us to order some drinks at the bar (we 'd rather just go to our table thanks, but oh okay.. . Get told to sit down at the table next to the bar, and are brought menus and told we can order while we sit there and afterwards we 'll be taken to our proper table, bit weird! I assumed it was because they were rammed full and they were waiting for someone to leave, but when we eventually got in, the place was almost empty. Meal (in contrast to the staff was actually pretty good, tasty and reasonably priced. Frustrating because the staff problems could be so easily solved! Unfortunately the service as it is turned a nice meal into an unpleasant experience.

The food was lovely and the hosts were too. Great night

Wonderful people wonderful food and they rent out rooms too .

Three of us went for a meal at The Olive on Wednesday evening and really enjoyed the Tex Mex menu. Great food and service. We felt at ease in the restaurant with the Covid measures in place. There were only two other people in the restaurant and I know the owners are looking to sell up, but come on people, support your local businesses or no one will want to buy into it, if it's not a going concern!
