My husband and I had the most amazing meal in Sooty Olive last night. Everything was first class from the food to the drinks to the service. Very relaxed atmosphere and didnt feel rushed off the table like you do in some other places! Their cockail menu is amazing � Our waitress Elisha was so helpful and couldn't do enough for us. Love this place � definitely recommend.
Food was fantastic! Not rushed out the door like many places. Nice, relaxed atmosphere and servers made us feel very welcome. Our waiter Ryan was a star, very attentive checking our food and drinks were okay and that we had everything we needed. Also provided complimentary drinks as there was a delay with our food, we didn't mind though as the food was worth the wait. Happy customers and will definitely be back!
We had an amazing meal here. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. Highly recommend to anyone in the Londonderry area.
All I can say is fabulous! The staff were so friendly and helpful, providing recommendations from the menu and the food was out of this world , from starters to dessert I couldn't fault one single thing. With a comfortably relaxed settling I would highly recommend it to anyone and will be back very soon , Thanks .
Every time we visit the Sooty Olive it never disappoints,in my opinion, easily the best establishment for dining in The Maiden City!!!! Staff are super friendly, food impeccable and the over all dining experience is second to none!!! Sean Harrigan is an absolute gent too � Highly recommended �

We arrived last night for our 1st time and all we can say is WOW , from the service to the food to the drinks it was all amazing. I loved that you had time between courses to breath and not feel rushed, the staff were fab very attentive but not intruding and the cocktails were out of this world thanks for a great night I can't wait to come back soon!!!
Had a lovely meal here a few weeks ago with friends. It was a first time for everyone. The food was amazing and the staff very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. I liked that we were given time between courses and weren't rushed from our table like some other restaurants. Lovely decor as well. Keep up the good work!
I can't thank the staff at the Sooty Olive enough for their hospitality the food was beautiful and the staff where more than attentive and acknowledged the fact that myself and my partner had just got engaged they couldn't have been nicer I will definitly be recommending them to family and friends and we will be back
We were here for the first time yesterday been wanting to try this place for ages and have to say we weren't disappointed in any way. The food was delicious and the staff are so friendly and helpful and attentive. Will definitely be back in the future.
Nice place to have an evening meal.
There's no parking outside So plan accordingly.
Warm welcome. Attentive.
Drink selection is good
We're given a free sample of the soup which I now wish I had ordered because it was very good.
Food came in reasonable time
It was well presented and tasted good.
I would recommend this place.
Our group had a member who was disabled and one who is vegan and the restaurant was SO accommodating and kind. The food was so good and really reasonably priced, drinks were great and if anything strong. Atmosphere was great, a touch fancy but nothing you could get away with wearing a t shirt too. would love to go again 🙌🏼
Great and original food and pleasant and professional service.
Very good restaurant in Londonderry, quiet and nice atmosphere
We are traveling from the US and had been driving all day and found this gem! We were very underdressed compared to everyone else, but we were assured that we were fine and that it was a casual place. We were all so glad we stayed, everything was AMAZING! I assume it was the manager we were talking to and he seemed so genuinely glad that we stayed and enjoyed it. Cannot recommend it enough.
We went there for dinner, it was nice, they open until late, which is great, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
The only problem is the poor variety of the beers in the pub area, they only offered us a Japanese beer. I''m sure this problem will be solved by when we go back.
We had the most amazing meal. Even the fussiest person couldn't find fault. The atmosphere is vibrant & the staff are so friendly. Definitely well worth a visit
Early booking but no reduction in quality.. Staff we're great, food was lovely..
Great place to eat,.
Been a few times and not disappointed.
Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and above all excellent food. Visited at least a couple of times, the quality and consistency of the food and service is fantastic.
Booked Saturday lunch at The Sooty Olive for my wife’s birthday with a couple of friends.
We had the three course lunch menu with all dishes cooked to perfection. I had the brill special for main which was fantastic.
It is easy to see that the chefs take pride in there work with the standard of cooking and presentation.
The front of house staff were pleasant and looked after our requirements.
There is good wine selection at reasonable prices .
A good way to spend an afternoon and we will be back soon.
Returned a couple of times since with the same result .
Dined a first time during our week’s visit and went back two more times. The food is simply excellent. A good test is the quality of the crème brûlée. The Sooty’s ranks with the best we tasted during our many years living in France.
incredibly good restaurant in a beautiful location. The food is delicious. kudos to the staff
