Soup to nuts, a very, very fine dining experience. Appetizers, wine list, main dish were all excellent.

A restaurant informed us when there was an earlier reservation than the one we had. Very nice of them to do so.

Special shout out to Austin, our waiter. Everything he did was geared towards making sure our experience was excellent. In fact, when I couldn’t take the incessant barking of the gentlemen seated next to us, he moved our table of four far away from him. Austin is a pro!

Glad we made it here.

Disappointing for brunch, will never return. Both of our meals were cold; it seemed like they got part of our order completed and it sat waiting for the eggs but even the eggs were cool. Service was lacking; they weren’t very busy but the waitress never checked back for refills on drinks or to check on our food.

The carrot cake was actually the best thing I have ever had. Would have ordered it for all three courses had I known it was this good. The fact it’s seasonal makes me sad but I took another bite so I am feeling happiness once more. This carrot cake boosted my mood in ways words cannot describe. 10/10 would carrot again! Shrimp was fire too, short rib left me speechless, but this carrot cake man. It is so good it made me write this review.

We had a great time - dinner and drinks - at Oliver. The food was good....not great, but overall very well-prepared. We return often for drinks and appetizers, but have not been back for dinner. Maybe someday....

We always love Oliver. Great vibe, good music (trendy downtempo like back home in Chicago), bartenders know what they’re doing and the food is wonderful. We go for date nights as well as girls nights 💛 try the tuna pizza!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming establishment, and I must say, it was an experience that delighted all the senses.

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the dessert pictured above—a beautifully plated creation that struck the perfect balance between artistry and flavor. The smooth, custard-like centerpiece was delicately infused with tropical notes, complemented by a bright, silky sauce and tart pops of raspberry coulis. Fresh raspberries added both a vibrant color and a welcome acidity to offset the sweetness. The elegant garnish—thin, crisp shards—provided a satisfying textural contrast that tied everything together.

Presentation here is taken seriously, and it shows. The dessert looked almost too beautiful to eat, served in a deep blue ceramic bowl that enhanced the vivid colors of the dish. Every detail felt intentional and refined.

Beyond the food, the ambiance was warm and inviting. Dim lighting and understated decor created an intimate atmosphere perfect for a relaxed evening out. Service was attentive without being intrusive—staff were happy to answer questions and share recommendations, making the experience feel personal and unhurried.

Overall, this restaurant excels at delivering thoughtful, creative cuisine in a setting that feels both sophisticated and comfortable. Whether you’re a dessert lover or simply looking for an elevated dining experience, I highly recommend paying them a visit.

We had a reservation for our one year anniversary, we decided to come in early and they were able to seat us, that worked out perfectly!
Our Server Austin was attentive and kept our drinks full, had a sense of humor and brought us the most amazing meals. 10/10 recommend!

The best chicken and grits I’ve ever had. Went for brunch so cannot speak to their lunch or dinner menu. But their brunch was delicious. Crepe’s were also fantastic a mixture of sweet and savory within the same crepe. Truly delicious food!

My mom and I finally got to visit the restaurant today and loved everything! The crab cake and the tiger shrimp appetizer was our favorite! Highly recommend the crab cake. We had the ribeye and it was also really good. And the chocolate cake is amazing. I recommend this place and can’t wait to come back! Andrew was our server and we really like him and how attentive he was. Thank you for a wonderful experience for our first time! 😊
