“Good Value with a Lovely Ambiance

This place offers good value for the price and ambiance, though the food didn’t quite exceed my expectations. The ambiance was lovely, and the service was nearly perfect - our server was. Our favorite was the duck, which was cooked with crispy skin.
Dover sole is renowned for its delicate, sweet flavor and velvety soft texture with its flaky fillets fall apart effortlessly with a fork. However, in your case, the sole was drier than expected, which might have been due to slight overcooking. Despite this, Dover sole remains a prized choice for its refined taste and texture.
The lamb is a solid choice if you’re very hungry.
For appetizers, the burata was intriguing when fried, but I preferred it in its original form as frying didn’t enhance the dish for me.
The thin layer of steak tartar was served on fatty toast that overpowered the tartar, which was a bit disappointing—I wouldn’t order it again as tartar.
The oysters were not all professionally opened.
The side mushrooms were too bland and not the type I expected, though the side potatoes were a hit with my mom.
Drinks were well-crafted, while others didn’t blend flavors as smoothly. Olive cake is worth trying!
Overall, this is a great spot for a casual dinner. We visited late in the evening, so maybe the chef was tired, which might have affected some dishes. Despite minor imperfections, the overall experience was enjoyable.“

“I had the pleasure of dining there with a party of five last night. I must say, it was one of the best meals I've had in my life. Highly recommended.“

“I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday dinner with my family at Olivers! A special shout out to Devin our fabulous server who made our experience extra special. Our steaks were delicious and all our sides that accompanied our dinner were perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better night and highly recommend Olivers for any occasion. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“We have been there at least four different times and each meal better than the last. Last week ate at the bar. The risotto extraordinary. Went tonight I had filet , delicious. Family members raved about the pork chops this will be our new fav place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food, great service!“

“While we have always enjoyed our meals at The Mansard in the past, our last two visits have been uninspiring. Our most recent visit on 8/3 was average at best. The bartender had BOTH sliding glass doors (no screens) open in the bar area causing swarms of flies to circle us our ENTIRE meal, in the dining area. Although friendly, our waitress said there were no specials that evening, after I specifically asked what the specials were. I overheard other waitresses telling patrons what the specials were, so I knew there WERE specials. The musty smell of the stained drapery needs to be replaced ASAP, as the odor hits you as soon as you get to the front door. Please be better and ACT like the "fine" dining restaurant you want to be! Very disappointed...The food is the ONLY thing worth coming to The Mansard for...We miss Steve!!“

“The second we walked in we were greeted with a friendly staff. The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful. Highly recommend.“
