Bar is alright w decent vibe however the food is very disappointing. Too salty on the mushroom appetizer, shrimp didn’t taste fresh, and the steak entree was average. For the price they charge on food, you will leave w regret ever ordering.

I had high expectations because Bar Oliver looked great on paper. Unfortunately the food was mid and the service sub par.
I can live with a bad dining experience - it happens! But my clothes smell like cooking oil today - please fix your exhaust system.

Bar Oliver is an absolute gem. The quality of the food is top-notch and every dish feels thoughtfully crafted and delicious. The wine list is one of the best surprises: prices are so fair that it actually encourages you to explore and try different bottles. Most importantly, KJ (the GM) and his team make you feel completely at home. Their hospitality is genuine, warm, and best-in-class. Every visit feels like it brings you home to Spain …. full of warmth, great food, and the kind of charm that makes you want to linger.

Very nice bar with nice atmosphere. I tried the hanger steak and although was good, it didn’t live up to its expectation.
The staff at my friend’s bday (9/6) was absolutely incredible!

Made an impromtu stop here after noticing it as we were walking by to catch a bus after visiting Chinatown. On this day we were dressed for a very casual outing in athletic summer wear and were greeted and treated as any other. Enjoyed drinks and dessert but will certainly be back for more. The menu looks amazing. The vibe of the staff fits the vibe of the space. The outdoor seating area also looked wonderful, cozy and inviting but we’d been walking outside all day and decided to sit indoor at the bar. I’ll certainly make an effort to have dinner here next time I’m in town.
Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

Had a delicious dinner at Bar Oliver last night. Stand out dishes-Tortilla Antonio, pan con tomato with jamon and manchego, wagyu steak, branzino, tomato salad, peppers, torrijas with ice cream and basque cheesecake. Service was great. Atmosphere is wonderful. You will be happy and well fed here!!
