Great atmosphere. Food good and fish fresh. Very clean facilities. Lovely staff, very well trained. Piano playing in the background, making it a very relaxing ambience after busy shopping.

If you're hungry get takeaway, the restaurants small plates are a bit of a joke, urging you to take a normal sized plate and sneak it in Alan Partridge style. Its fried potato in the main for flips sake, rather than lobster, so this looks really petty, and is a cheap trick imho given the eat in prices. This crockery has been there for years so its not a mistake! If youre not that hungry and fancy a sit down meal sometimes with piano, the restaurants atmosphere is superb. Despite my gripe I do go in sometimes for a light meal. Great service, almost too fussy, but given the premium of using the restaurant I can see why as it must be a goldmine.
Ive been going for years as the quality of takeaway is brilliant, although I think sometimes the staff come across as if they are ruled by a rod of iron.

Your always made to feel that you are the only customer that matters, from the moment when you are welcomed, to the moment you leave. The food is of the highest standard for what is fish restaurant. The decoration and ambience is first class and the background music supplied by a pianist playing the grand piano, just makes this fish restaurant place to have a traditional english meal of the highest quality.

Not your everyday fish and chip restaurant but the experience was fun. With the grand piano playing in the background and the waiter taking your coat it feels like another world that you've just walked into. You can't quite believed that you've just walked off the street. I enjoyed it as much as the food, which was good!

I regularly visit the Olympus for the smaller portion meals that are available. The fish and chips are always delicious and the service is excellent.

I have never been to a better fish and chip restaurant. The staff are welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The ambiance of the establishment is just lovely. Plenty of space between tables which is good. The food is excellent; portions good, variety good. Very much an upmarket fish and chippy! We go time and time again.

We often travel onto the town centre just to get a decent take out. Its so hard to find a decent chippy, and this is just that. Its no Harry Ramsden's, but the price isn't. Good value and always good food

I really enjoyed the food, however the food portions are too small for the amount of money paid.
The staff are a credit to the shop, always hard working and polite.
Would return to the Olympus, but only to the takeaway section.

we visited bolton and decided to try the olympus for lunch, what a good choice we made. The restaurant is very well laid out with good decor..The added touch of waiters to meet and greet is very nice. Of course we ordered the fish and chips for lunch and really enjoyed them, maybe the price would put some people off but the quality is very good, when we visit bolton again we would certainly come back..

I am a local Boltonian, but i have always put off going to the restaurant part since they done it up about 10 years ago.
I went recently with my Girlfriends family. Her Grandparents love the place, and so do lots of other older people judging from the clientele. The place looks very nice, better than i expected! It is quite fancy inside (by Bolton standards), very clean and nicely furnished.
For a 'Chippy' the service is excellent, like no other chippy i have been to.
However, i do not like Fish, so unlike everyone else i did not have the fish and chips. Instead i had a cheese pie and chips. The pie was awful, it was a bit like cardboard and dry. I am pretty sure it had been microwaved and it was barely edible. The chips were alright, just like any other chip shop really.
The Grandparents loved the food, but everyone else didn't enjoy it (it's a good job they paid! Haha).
So ultimately, it is quite a bit more expensive than a normal chip shop - you pay for the lovely setting and good service to have a nice sit down. The food is nothing superior to a corner shop chippy to be honest.
I think this place offers something that is valued by the older generations and i can respect that. I would say say if you are in your 20's - 30's give it a miss as this place is a bit unsure and confused with itself. Is it a chippy or a fine restaurant? It is both and neither if that makes any sense...?

As fish and child go this is definitely the place to get it from. Would highly recommend to others wanting a lovely lunch. The service is so friendly too

Like the title would suggest its nice but nothing more than that, you can not really go wrong with fish and chips, i have visited this restaurant quite a few times as its my aunties favourite. The owner and staff are all really friendly and welcoming, its a place i feel for the older generation though not that many young people go in opting for the take away chipping attached. The fish chips and peas is of a good quality but its just nothing that special for the price you pay, i will continue to go with my auntie but not with my friends of partner.

The food is always of a very high standard, the staff are helpful and charming but it is the atmosphere at the Olympus which makes this restaurant 'something special'!
Where else would you eat fish and chips serenaded by a gentleman on a Grand Piano?

Excellent fish & chips in lovely surroundings. The service was excellent and really helpful. Being entertained by a pianist was a bonus and a very pleasant surprise. Can't speak for anything other than the fish & chips but why would you go to the restaurant if that was not what you wanted?
