Visited with a friend for dinner and, unfortunately, was underwhelmed. First impression is how claustrophobic it is inside. Accessibility is really difficult with how steep and narrow the stairs are. Luckily, none of us had mobility issues, but they didn't ask either, so not sure how they would accommodate people with mobility needs. Our table was in the middle of the little room, and space was a little tight with everyone moving around us. Service was average they took our drinks order (red sangria) but seemed like they forgot, and so we had to remind them to bring it. Food came out suspiciously quickly, some of it hot and some of it lukewarm, and so we had food before we had anything to dr...
Olivares tapas bar was a delightful experience! I made a reservation for my husband's birthday while we were in Lincoln for a few days. The restaurant had a unique and cozy atmosphere. The staff was friendly and accommodating. And the food... it was absolutely delicious! We opted for the set meal to share, and there was plenty of food to enjoy. Every dish was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. My husband had a fantastic birthday treat. We will definitely return if we are in the Lincoln area again!
We visited this lovely little restaurant last night for drinks after our evening meal elsewhere. It’s was lovely to sit outside on a balmy evening with stunning views of the castle and cathedral around us. The atmosphere was buzzing and the staff were friendly. The delicious waft of everyone else’s Tapas made us want to return to eat there tonight… sadly they aren’t open on Sunday evenings which is such a shame.
Stopped for lunch and sat outside. It was a lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious and fresh. My wife is a ceoliac and the chef came out to make sure everything we ordered would be ok and we had a allot of gluten free options. The only disappointment was that they don't do any gluten free bread. If we find ourself in Lincoln again we would definitely go back.

The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance and amazing tapas. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Overall, a faultless experience. Just a heads up for those with mobility limitations: request a table on the ground floor as Olivares spans over three floors with steep stairs, set in a charming old building.
The restaurant offers delicious food in a charming atmosphere. It is small and cosy, with a noticeable Alpine vibe. The tapas selection is diverse and delicious. Located in a lovely part of the city, it is very convenient for visitors exploring both the Cathedral and the Castle.
Really looked forward to this but wow very disappointing, staff are in need of some serious training , stood around slagging other staff and managers off , over charged on bill , food was a average calamari wasn’t good over cooked , bell stuff pepper was best if the lot .
We come here every year for our anniversary as this was where we had our first date, the food and service is always exceptional, thank you to all the staff for making every visit special!
