“Great service, atmosphere, and food. Our waitress was lovely and gave us excellent drink recommendations—we went with the Fishy Margarita and the Blueberry Hill Martini, and both were fantastic. The fish was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. Beyond the superb food and service, the atmosphere truly stood out. We had an amazing view of the marina and the sunset, which made the experience even more special. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!“

“Have lived down here for 5 years. This is the first time we came to Oliver's, and we were not disappointed.! The food was amazing. The server jacqueline, really hustled and bustled with a smile on her face and very, very sweet! My husband is a diabetic and also on dialysis, and has to watch his intake on certain things. And they did his French fries without salt, like we asked, and instead of frying the catfish, he baked it . If I could give jacqueline, a higher than 5 stars. I would .“
