OK, where do I start to tell you about this absolutely fantastic venue.
However, before I go into raptures about this oasis I would ask management to address one slight problem. Men sitting having dinner in the evening, shirtless, is a definite 'NONO'. A sign, at the entrance, asking that shirts be worn would not go amiss. Even, as a male, I don't want to see a guy with his gut hanging over his belt, I don't know what his partner was thinking. OK, rant over, maybe it's a personal issue on my part.
We, most nights of our stay, popped in prior to dinner for their 'top' cocktails. Nowhere, I repeat nowhere, in Olu did anyone come up to their expertise in the making of vodka martini (in fact a Vesper) and caiprinha. They were perfect.
But now I must come to their food. We ate one evening and were so astounded by the quality of the food and the service that I asked if a table could be reserved for our last night. Reserving is the best thing to do as there are so many people coming in on the 'off chance' of getting a table. On both evenings we were never rushed and, in fact, had our table most of the evening until we decided to move to the seating area at the back for coffee. Wines were totally delicious and at a reasonable price. The food coming out of the kitchen was beyond description. That chef was brilliant. We had, one evening, Jade Jumbo Prawns. Jumbo???? More like mini lobsters and in a ginger, garlic sauce. To die for. Dessert was beyond us. Then on the last night, a starter to share of seafood. That plate was OTT. Then steak with surf. Wonderful, mouthwatering steak with enough prawns on top. That night I decided to indulge in a chocolate soufle, my partner being full. It arrived with two spoons as, the waiter stated, I would not be able to eat it on my own. I broke the soufle and rich chocolate filling oozed out surrounding the home made ice cream. I needed help LOL
We were treated like royalty on every night we visited. Fantastic guys, so friendly and helpful. I never saw the kitchen staff but they must have been working flat out down there.
Thank you to everyone for making that ten evenings very, very special.
