"Today we visited the Olive restaurant in Corby and I must say, it may just be my new favorite restaurant. I made a booking through their website and was provided with a recommended departure time. Upon arrival, I gave my name and was given several seating options. I chose a table by the window. We started with a bottle of Ombrellino Pinot Grigio Rose from Italy, which was a refreshing wine with notes of cherry and forest fruit. It paired well with our meals. For my starter, I had the Moules Mariniere, a classic French dish of mussels in a white wine, garlic, and parsley sauce served with ciabatta. It was delicious, though I wish they had provided a bowl for the discarded shells. My partner had the Tapas Trio, which included honey chorizo, patatas bravas, and a spinach feta parcel with tzatziki. He enjoyed it, especially the fresh and well-seasoned tzatziki. For my main course, I chose the Surf and Surf, a dish of cod fillet topped with Moroccan spiced prawns, served with new potatoes and Mediterranean vegetables. It had a bit more spice than expected, but I still found it delicious. My partner had the Chicken Parmesan Pasta, which he thought was a great combination of flavors with well-seasoned chicken and balanced pasta. We were so impressed with the food and atmosphere that we decided to have dessert. We opted for the Orange and Amaretti Trifle, a layered dessert with biscotti, orange jelly, custard, and Chantilly cream. It was delicious and light, though we wished it was a bit bigger. Overall, we had a wonderful dinner experience at Olive and felt transported to Greece for a while. Service: Dine-in Meal Type: Dinner Price per person: £40-50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"The boss and the billpayer decided to avoid cooking and dine out here, mainly to avoid one of us having to choose who was cooking on a Saturday night. My rock, paper, scissors suggestion for who was to cook had been seriously badly recieved. How about a meal out? I offered quickly, whilst dodging the viscious punch to the chops. Initially I had thought the clenched fist was her Rock , which I 'd swiftly beaten with the flat hand of paper. But the paper became Normally we use the take away service and drive the 8 country miles home like Lewis Hamilton but with the added challenge of not spilling pad Thai up the footwell of the car. Winter months and road conditions twice leading me to have to rinse the mats and wring out the remainder of my tasty Pad Thai. Arriving at the location, and whilst dodging the Just Eat driver I was entertained by the glass floor and Koi carp. Clearly well fed, in the time I had before being seated, I hadn 't yet worked out by who, where or how. We were sat in the window and I looked aimlessly at the menu digesting none of what I read whilst doing my utmost to neck all the prawn crackers left as a starter. The waitress arrived, whilst the Boss was ready to order the show vegan wasn 't, but had eaten 95% of the prawn crackers leaving the Boss a token 1 whilst she waited for me to consider the menu. Pad Thai, Vegetable Singapore Curry, Prawn Szechuan, Vermeccelli spicy noodles ordered. All very tasty and mopped up nicely with the prawn cracker I 'd decided the Boss had now taken too long to claim. The curry was delicious with some fresh chillies adding great heat to the dish. One of the very same chillies bringing tears to my eyes and lodging in the back of my throat. No issue with the dish just my own chewing! Turns out that a hot chilli which is usually removed with a quick cough, is more challenging since covid 19. Trying not to covid cough in a restaurant it turns out is quite tricky when there is a hot chilli lodged in your tonsils. But a good meal all round, well priced and entertaining people watching. Some of the stories I over heard making for excellent tales the following day. 4 stars. Great takeaway and very friendly lady waitress. If Just Eat delivered as far out as our place... it would be a more regular take away for us."
