what a change different name, new paint job, all day menu, and a cheaper price. found the service slow and too relaxed. The food has had a large turn around, weaker watery sauces shows a less skilled kitchen. I think this restaurant should start their rating with trip all over as they are newly refreshed and serving something unrelated to... More

After a rubbish lunch and lots of walking around Derry we looked to trip adviser for a good restaurant for dinner, and sooty olives did not disappoint!! Staff friendly and efficient, decor lovely, and food amazing! Would highly recommend!

It may not be much to look at from the outside but is well worth a visit based on the quality of its food. We were in early for the early bird menu, two courses each and a bottle of wine for £50 with that standard of food is excellent. Worth a visit.
