Olivers Restaurant - Buffalo (NY)

5 /5 Jillian Straw: Having moved here recently from NYC where I spent considerable time working in varying levels of hospitality from fine dining to bagel shops, Olivers sticks out to me as a quintessential star in the Buffalo food scene. On a ten grade scale I would give the food a 9/10 and the service a 13. Kim (and Charlie) specifically made my experience wonderful. After oysters, the steak tartare, scallops, and lemon cheesecake I was besotted, in a good way. The true foodie passion shown in each dish, the ease and comfort in each conversation, and the level of care taken down to the detail (including specifically packaging my left over dishes based on small portions of our side conversation) all equates to a definite Must Go. Apologies my pictures are vaguely lacking, half of them I couldnt stop myself from immediately tucking in, and the other half were taken in haste so that I could get right to them asap.

5 /5 Britt Diehl: Quiet atmosphere with a skilled bartender making wonderfully thought out cocktails. Fresh and modern twist to perfectly crafted entrees. Service is one of the top in the area with knowledgeable, professional and attentive staff. We had the pleasure of being serviced by Joe who was a delight. Finished the evening with a double espresso with in-house made dessert. Finally, a restaurant that is creating some sweet meal endings on their own. Cannot wait to return.

5 /5 JONATHAN HOOVER: The Thanksgiving day meal was incredible. Probably the best Thanksgiving day meal that I’ve ever had. From the turkey to the mashed potatoes. We also had the spinach bread and pork belly for appetizers, both were absolutely wonderful. The service was very good. The atmosphere was wonderful as well.

5 /5 Winter: Above all service was phenomenal! Our server was very kind and understanding of our needs. Great service with a smile really does go a long way. Food was also good. The portions were surprisingly big which made it all the better. Definitely will come back!
