Dove & Olive Pub

Yesterday I was here around 12.30, and this Smoked Beef Ribs on food special just can’t be ignored. When the food came, first thing I noticed was .. oh… how do I eat this whiteout being messy? Beef Ribs was plated in kinda entree/small sharing plate. It’s really hard to eat without being messy on the table. In my opinion, Chef could use better plate for presentation. Food was flavour some, but since chips was tucked underneath the beef ribs it self, and soaked with some braising sauce, it was all soggy. Overall it was great, service was good enough and place was clean. However If you are UFC fans, this place is not showing pay preview of UFC.

One of the better places in Sydney for a Sunday Roast. The vegetables and Yorkshire pudding and gravy were tasty. The beef was nice but the lamb lacked flavour. Cost $26 and portions were generous (loved the extra gravy on the side as well). Pub is a little dingey and could do with some TLC. Service was ok.

We had a sensational Sunday lunch enjoying the winter sun outside. The pub was very busy and there were alot of places to sit inside though it was noisy. The roast of the day was so large we easily could have shared the plate and as it was we definitely didn’t need dinner that night! Enjoyed a couple of middies with our meal suggested by the bar staff. Everyone was super friendly and obliging. Will definitely return for a meal!

3.4 - The staff were friendly and helpful but the steak I ordered was pretty bad. It didn't taste fresh and my order of Medium turned up as Well Done. The Mushroom sauce was slopped all over the steak but didn't have much of a taste (The carrots and mash were nice though). The others enjoyed their Parma/Parmy and Beers though so that was good for the others. It was cool that we got to book our tables and enjoyed being out on the terrace!

Superb beer selection and friendly staff. They have many local brewers on tap with a board providing more information on type, ABV, price etc. Which really helps you decide and know what you're going to get! The food is nothing exceptional, but definitely good enough for a pub feed. Great for casual catch ups or work drinks.

A charming and quaint Surry Hills pub that provides a great option for functions. We hired out an upstairs room for a birthday party and were impressed by the quality options for food, alcohol and the space. The space itself is large enough to accommodate 30 people comfortably and the decor with cute stain-glass lights and hunting lodge busts added to the quaint atmosphere. All in all would recommend for a dinner and drink or two, as well as functions.
