Thoroughly enjoyed our meal on Thursday evening. Nibble starters followed by 5 tapas which we shared. Plenty of food for the two of us and really tasty. The staff were very friendly and professional. Really couldn't fault them or the food at all thanks. Very good atmosphere as well.

We booked here for a Saturday lunch time treat and were so happy with our choice.The food was stunning, such delicious flavours. We had a mix of sides and Tapas to share between 2. The Truffle potatoes and the trio Funghi tapas, I would particularly recommend. There was such a large selection of dishes for all diets.We shared a white sangria pitcher also which was nice and fresh.The staff were friendly and efficient.The atmosphere was buzzing but did not feel too crowded. Would recommend booking.All in all a great dining experience and would visit when back in Worcester.

Absolutely the best experience we have had when visiting Worcester. The staff were helpful, service was exceptional and the food was fabulous.Michelin standards... Better than some with a star.

We didn't have a reservation, and they were able to give us a table for four people. Ordered 4 tapas meals and a side order of garlic flatbread. The food was presented on wooden boards, it was hot and tasted fresh. We all loved it and would highly recommend. Staff were warm and

The food here is as good as the one which I have eaten in Spain... one word to describe it: "excellent...!"

Lovely meal. Portion size large ( consider if you really need a starter). Attentive staff. Nice to know that management wanted to close by 10pm so everyone could enjoy NYE.

A hidden gem in Worcester with the most delicious tapas and cocktails. Excellent service too, can’t wait to go back.

Nice atmosphere here, service was ok for a Thursday evening during December which was busy. Excellent food and staff very pleasant. A bit pricey but to be expected for a city centre venue.

We’d booked a table for 6 at Impasto, but was later contacted to say that they had accidentally booked our table at Olive Branch (I understand they share the same kitchen with Impasto) so we’d have Impasto food but served via the Olive Branch. Therefore this review won’t include any comment on the food served here.I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. We were seated in the cellar, at a table for 6 very close to the door, which was really distracting as people often rushed past in very close proximity to some of us. When taking our food orders, the server then forgot to ask one party member for their order. They didn’t apologise when we pointed this out. I didn’t get the sense that the server was wanting to be there at all, he interacted very minimally with us.It then took 70 minutes from being seated to receiving our food. We received no apology for the wait. They had also made a further mistake with somebody’s order, bringing two of the same sides when only one was requested (server had written the side as “Z. -product name-“, which was misinterpreted by the kitchen staff as “2 -produce name-“). We sent this back immediately.Nobody came to ask us how our food was. I could hear other tables around us also complaining about the long wait.It took a further 15mins after sitting with empty plates for them to be taken away. We requested the bill - this took another 10mins and we had been overcharged by around £40 (£16 of this was an optional 10% service charge, the rest was overcharging for the meal). They had put through all our pizzas as £17 when they should have been £12. They had included the mistake (second side). We asked for the service charge to be removed, as the waiting time for food was unacceptable. Again the server did not apologise.It took 3 further bills to get the correct amount. The second bill had redacted the service charge and side, but we remained overcharged for the pizzas. We brought this upstairs to the manager, as by this stage we had been at the premises for 2hours for a 1 course meal and we were now running late for an evening event. The third bill from the manager then charged the correct amount for the pizzas, but added back on the service charge, making it a higher total than the second bill. We again requested the service charge was removed AGAIN, and finally were charged the correct amount. We were stood in the main entrance for a good 10 minutes sorting this out.I understand that The Olive Branch don’t have Impasto food items on their cash register, which complicated things with the bill. I’d say don’t offer the service if you are struggling to this extent.
