4 /5 Daniel Morris: Oliver’s is a new restaurant in an old renovated hotel building that kept a whole lot of its charm on the outside and inside too. The floors look to be the original! They have just opened and they are still working on renovating the main dining room from what I could see when I looked in the windows afterwards.
Service was friendly and effective for such a small crew - host, bartender, 1 bus boy, and some in the kitchen. All the tables were numbered and you have to order at the bar. I presume this is either temporary or a solution for the bar seating area of the soon to be full restaurant. I admit, I would have liked full service but I have to give them wiggle room for just opening up very recently.
The food was pretty dang good, and we had the fresh cavatelli, chicken pot pie and the lamb banger (not pictured). The food portions were reasonable and not oversized at all - we admit to have probably wanted one more banger as it only came with one to begin with for the $23 price tag but then it probably would have been even more expensive as they do make them in house as well.
Overall, a charming experience and felt good to support a local restaurant. The vibes were immaculate and 10 out of 5 if I could! Excellent drink menu, excellent wine menu, and really great spot for a date in my opinion! I would probably go back in 2-3 months as they work everything out, keep up the great work!!
