So glad you enjoyed it, but i knew you would.
Would we lie to you?

Went in O'Lume a few weeks ago after failing to get in last year when it was full (or should I say Jaimie was only taking as many people as he could manage to serve in a goodly manner).
It was worth the 12 month wait. Although only one other table occupied when we went in - another one later - it really was worth it. I can also say the food was excellent, the service was excellent, the night was excellent. Congratulations to Jaimie and his very smart and polite staff.
Do make an effort and seek out O'Lume - two streets back from the harbour - Jaime deserves your custom. He did say it has been variable this year due, no doubt, to the present economic situation.

Lala,

Good informative report, if that doesn't get 'em thru the door nothing will People must think i'm on commission for pushing this restaurant, i'm not, of course, but other than trawling the port and gang pressing people, i don't know what else i (we) can do

Went last Thursday night thinking you did not have to book, they could not take us untill later as they were so busy. I was disappointed but only had myself to blame.

 

[Lala70w]

O'Lume

Off to PP next Sat.... would like to try O'Lume as Jaime and food sound extremely nice. We do have a very fussy eater with us, would Jaime be prepared to cook something really plain, such as omlette or pasta with bolognese etc? Don't want to offend him!

Remember i said it was a clique who liked o, lume, i actually thought that was unfair until i read the latest forum. what happened to anybody who didn,t like it, are they not allowed their say. i have no problem with the place, but it aint that good. Does nobody else agree with me, or is it my personality and taste buds. GPM

 

[JH02JLH]

Hi gpm,

Everybody is allowed their say, but accusing people of belonging to a clique because they like the restaurant is not fair and not relevant to the forum. If you don't like O Lume, then that's fine...everyone has their own opinions and not everyone likes the same restaurant.

Please can we keep this thread on O Lume and honest reviews about eating there.

Thanks
Jane

OK didn,t like it, but on the positive side I would like to tell you my favies, not in order..... Centric.. wee Tony, works like the devil,, food lovely, Corb Mari, great food, waiters really friendly,a wee bit eccentric like myself, Can Andrew, again love it and the girl who runs it should give lessons on how to treat customers, Nico,s, the original Tex Mex who the Dakota mob stole his business idea from, and finally Los farroles? great fish.So many great places to eat!!

Animagic21 if you read my post on O Lume (Visit Report Part 1) you will find Jamie is very obliging. Go and ask and he will do it either that day or the following if he has to purchase anything special. It worked for Ms Fussy and the cost was very reasonable.

O'Lume

Thanks Mr Fussy, will certainly take your advice!

We tried O'Lume last week after reading posts on the site - and the food was really nice and reasonably priced. The four of us had different main courses, from lamb chops to turbot and the special cod. All faultless.
Only thing was it lacked atmosphere - as with many people we had walked past it on countless occasions in the past and not bothered to try because it looked quiet.
On the night we went, think it was a Tuesday, there were only three other tables in use and at the end of the night we were the last to leave, about 10.45pm.
But have to agree, and I presume it was Jamie who was running the place, he was a friendly pleasant chap whose food was good.

O'Lume

I visited O’Lume last Tuesday night. Sadly there was no one in the restaurant when we arrived at about 8.30pm, but I’ve learned not to let that put me off.

As well as the delicious free appetiser, bread and a selection of butters, we shared a starter of grilled vegetables, followed by T-bone steak and cod a la romano. Just about managed a gorgeous chocolate mousse for desert. Without exception, all the food was beautifully cooked and presented. With a bottle of house white, 2 coffees, chocolates and liquors, the bill came to an excellent 49 euros.

In my opinion, Jamie is a charming host and I left his restaurant feeling as though I’d had a really special night out. He told me that he reads all the reviews posted on the forum, so thank you for a lovely meal – look forward to dining at the new location when we return.

 

[its cd]

Do we know when the new venue is due to open ?

 

[LK1960]

I think he said November. Sorry that's a bit vague, hopefully someone will have more precise information.

 

[Smiddy]

LK 1960, My son and his GF also love the chocolate mouse, he insists we bring some back, which Jaime obliges, all wrapped up for the journey. (The CM not Jaime) I know he reads all the reviews, he's a perfectionist, that's why i get a wee bit anyoyed at some of the jibes on this forum which have nothing to do with the food, not nice!
