The Olive Tree in Castlebar legal

12/12/2025: I was out with a group from work recently, and there were a few other Christmas parties in as well, so the place had a great buzz. The food was lovely — everyone at our table was happy with what they got — and the staff were genuinely pleasant, attentive, and doing their best on a busy night. The one downside was the noise level. The acoustics in the restaurant are very poor, and with multiple groups talking over each other, the din became almost unbearable at times. It made conversation difficult, even across the table. It’s a pity, because everything else about the evening was spot on. If Al Muretto improved the acoustics, it would turn a good night into a great one. As it stands, the food and service are excellent, but be prepared for a very loud room when it’s busy — especially around Christmas.
