Have been eating in this restaurant for many years but, sadly, it is not quite as good as it used to be. Cannot put my finger on it but it has definitely gone down in my estimation. You used to have to queue but there are many empty tables now. Rather sad.

Brilliant. Helpful, friendly service in great surroundings.
Food good. Not one complaint from group.
If coming as a coach party be sure to ask about the coach parking permit.

Have just had a lovely meal at this restaurant whilst visiting the town. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and the staff attentive.
Obviously the meal was pricier than the takeaway part but the condition of chairs, non greasy table and delightful surroundings made it worthwhile.
Don't recommend the cups of tea as there was a weird taste but everything else was lovely!

Always very attentive, made to feel welcome, after placing order at counter, the freshly made tea was delivered to table very fast. Including extra hot water, The pensioner special is extremely good value, and obviously cooked fresh to order, the restaurant is light and airy, with a pianist playing the grand piano, adding to the great experience,
We always find this restaurant a great place for food whenever we are in Bolton

i'd never been here before, but would definitely go again. the restaurant was lovely- -it has a grand piano!- -and the food was very nice. but my rating is based on the staff, who were fantastic, from the friendly chap that greeted and seated me, to the gallant chap that helped me put my jacket on when I left! great atmosphere too.

Service is absolutely fantastic. Usually a guy playing the piano there, which lifts your mood. Waiters are lovely.

There is also a takeaway section.

This is THE place to go for Fish & Chips in the Town Centre of Bolton.
As well as a take away " Chip Shop" there is also a very smart Cafe. You are meeted & greeted at the door, escorted to your table & helped off with your coat. The staff are very polite & helpful , the service very swift. On some days you are serenaded with a gentleman playing the piano which is delightful. Throughly recommended.

I am sorry but I don't think the Olympus is as good as it thinks. The food is just 'OK'. I have had far better fish and chips in many other establishments & usually for less money.Won't be going again.

We were going to see a play at the Octagon and decided to eat in Bolton. Now, there aren't too many restaurants in the centre of Bolton to choose from, but if there were I would choose this one. The place is huge but doesn't feel empty. We had haddock and cips, scampi and chips and sausage and chips. Yes it's a chip shop. The service is impeccable and the food really good.

I just fancied something to eat and as it was tea time thought chips, so here I am having fish and chips for tea.

At 6pm on a Thursday the restaurant is huge and well lit with a lot of natural light coming in from the big windows. I was greeted by a smiling member of staff and shown to a table, where I was instructed to order my food when ready at the counter, and I was served with a smile.

My food came out quickly and was hot, but I'll be honest I've been served bigger fish for less money but that said it was very nice (not greasy and the chips were crisp).

The visit is one that I'm glad I've done and I'm sure I'll come again with family at some point.

Worth a visit if your in the area and feel hungry.

Bank Holiday Saturday was the 1940's lunch complete with air raid sirens. The quality of service and food is always excellent but the singers added an extra little something. Obviously the average age was rather high but it was a very very professional event. Well done Tasos.

Been here a few times now and I'm never disappointed. From the first moment they welcome you at the door to helping you on with your coat as you say goodbye the service is fantastic. We usually have the "just enough" special and it is as it says, just enough! The fish is a pure white fillet and the batter very crispy and the best tasting tartare sauce I've ever had. Service is fast and much appreciated when it's lunch time. Fantastic atmosphere at Christmas with the choir, not something you'd expect. Don't just walk by thinking it's just a chippy because it is anything but.

Had the traditional fish n chips it was nice, portion size is quite big. the chips not too greasy and fish gently battered. Would definitely go here again if I fancied a large lunch.

Without searching through all the wonderful reviews I cannot be sure that I have not reviewed this restaurant before. Even if I have it is so good it deserves another review. If you can find a fault at this restaurant you are either a genius or a hyper critical diner. We have been several times and have never been disappointed. The food is freshly cooked and beautifully served. We will be returning many times.The live piano music is an added bonus.

Seems the only place you can get haddock over here. Mega expensive though. The wertherby whaler is far less expensive and tons better but too far to travel just for a lunch. You have to ask for the fish to be skinned and cooked crispy. It's a shame as it is ok but just that. Again I have to say it is very expensive if you aren't a pensioner and want a decent portion.

There is nothing to dislike at the Olympus. Lovely decor and so comfortable. For such a busy restaurant, it is surprisingly spacious. Good menu with reasonable prices. The portions are good and the service excellent. A place to visit again and again.
