    The quality of the food is, as always, outstanding and it is the main reason why we regularly eat at 'O Ver, alongside the beautiful ambiance. There is also excellent management and a warm welcome, with the staff being helpful and attentive. The only note would be, if possible, to make it more evident on the menu where a lactose free or dairy free alternative is available (sometimes it is stated, sometimes not). Alternatively, serving staff should be prepared on whether the dish can be made lactose free or dairy free depending on availability (knowing the fine difference between lactose free cheese and dairy free alternatives). Besides that, the service is very good and overall dining here is an outstanding experience.
