"There are just a few tables at the entrance looking out into the street, but don't be deceived, as a larger dining room awaits. The walls are hung with paintings and photographs, and cushioned chairs lend a 1930s Hollywood vibe to Chef Alex Carnovale's stylish spot. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, it's all about seafood sporting global influences. Quality ingredients are allowed to shine without a lot of fuss. A single, grilled tiger prawn served over garam masala and kashmiri chili sauce is topped with cold pressed mustard seed oil for an appetizer that makes a big impression. Porcini mushroom risotto prepared with browned butter and topped with mimolette is another example of a winning dish. Don't skip dessert, especially the coconut key lime pie layered with pistachio praline." - Michelin Inspector

The McCormick Place Survival Guide - Chicago - The Infatuation

"If we could only use one word to describe Oliver’s, it would be “rich.” Most of the short menu is made up of ridiculously decadent dishes like beef fat griddled sourdough, oysters topped with blueberry vinegar and smoked trout roe, and truffle gnocchi smothered in cheese. The dining room is full of velvet chairs and vintage dishware you might find at an estate sale. But besides the generally tasty food and the chic, Southern California bungalow vibe, the cocktails alone should entice you to visit this New American South Loop spot. Every drink is well-balanced and deliciously complex—like the ramos gin fizz with strawberry gin and a puffy egg white crown dusted with black lime." - adrian kane, veda kilaru

This is my second time here. Our first experience was wonderful. Went here for my friend's birthday lunch and she left disappointed. Our service started great, but our server disappeared after our food was served by someone else. We had to flag down another server to get salt and pepper. The Korean chicken sandwich and rosemary fries were wonderful. Would definitely order again. My friend did not like her omelet. She felt it was closer to scrambled eggs. Very little ham and mostly spinach. She left very unsatisfied. We were 50/50 on our visit. I will try Oliver's again, just not for brunch.

Who knew an apartment building held a spacious restaurant with good eats. The food came out quickly. Drinks were good too the chai was flavorful and mimosa was fruity. Oliver’s hash was buttery soft goodness and flapjacks were perfectly sweet and pillowy. I’d definitely return again.

Our love affair with the patio at Oliver's continues! After our unforgettable last visit, we eagerly returned for another evening of delicious food and great ambiance. This time, our delightful server, Gracie, greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious energy that set the tone for an amazing night. She wasn't just attentive; she was a true gem, sharing light-hearted banter and helpful suggestions that made our dining experience all the more enjoyable. Deciding to switch things up from our previous feast, we opted for a more casual yet equally indulgent approach, choosing to sip on some fine wine while nibbling on a variety of appetizers. Gracie's enthusiasm for the menu helped us uncover some hidden treasures we hadn't tried last time, and we were excited to dive in. First up were the loaded tots, a dish that can only be described as a crunchy, golden revelation. The exterior was perfectly crisp, while the inside was a pillowy delight that practically melted in your mouth. The accompanying sauce was nothing short of divine; its rich and zesty flavors elevated each bite, leaving us craving more. Next, we dug into the empanadas, and what a treat they were! Stuffed generously with gooey cheese, each bite released a delectable flow of melted goodness. It was like experiencing a gourmet version of a hot pocket, taken to the next level of culinary creativity. We couldn't help but rave about them, each one was a bite-sized party of flavors! As we continued our culinary adventure, we were served beautifully presented shrimp. The plating was so exquisite that we almost hesitated to dive in, though the mouthwatering aroma quickly dispelled any hesitation. The shrimp were cooked to perfection, succulent and bursting with flavor, making each mouthful a reason to smile. And then there was the artichoke dip; a dish that should absolutely be on everyone’s must-try list. It was a creamy, cheesy wonder, with a richness that lingered on the palate. Every scoop left us yearning for more, and we found ourselves fighting over the last dregs of the dish. Throughout our meal, Gracie remained a stellar presence, checking in on us regularly to ensure we had everything we desired. Her genuine care and attentiveness transformed the evening into something truly special. Thanks to her, we felt pampered and well-looked-after, making our return to Oliver's an unforgettable experience. With our hearts and stomachs full, we left the patio, already dreaming of our next visit. Oliver's has firmly cemented itself as a go-to spot for quality dining, and we can't wait to return!

Have always driven by curious about this place, and I am very glad I finally stopped in for brunch! Had the scrambler and biscuits with gravy accompanied by a caffe mocha and an iced matcha latte. So good, great service even seated at the bar since tables were full. Speaks to how well loved Oliver's is! Will definitely be back to try more or just sit/relax/study/work with some coffee.

Outstanding fresh ingredients. The scrambler comes with eggs, peppers, mushrooms, bacon, onions, cheese and their potato hash. So fresh and tasty. The Flapjacks were exquisite with bourbon flavored maple syrup and flavored butter. The service was great. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Oliver’s is one of those quietly dependable neighborhood spots that knows how to keep regulars coming back — reservations or not. While an online booking is rarely essential, those who call ahead are often directed to book through the website. In my experience, however, a warm greeting at the host stand and a touch of patience almost always result in a table. As for the food, the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich is the standout — impeccably crisp, richly seasoned, and indulgent without tipping into heaviness. My wife, a devoted salad connoisseur, insists the Oliver’s Salad is equally worth the visit: fresh, vibrant, and generously portioned. One tip for the uninitiated: don’t hesitate to ask for the french fries freshly deep-fried to order. On one occasion, ours arrived more tepid than crisp, likely victims of a heat lamp. To their credit, the server responded graciously and promptly replaced them with a steaming, golden batch, beautifully seasoned with rosemary — proof that Oliver’s doesn’t just seat you well; they feed you well, too. In short: come as you are, trust the kitchen, and never be shy about asking for exactly what you crave. In short, come as you are, trust the kitchen, and know that at Oliver’s, they’ll usually find a way to seat you — and feed you well. Don’t be afraid to ask for freshly, deep fried french fries. Ours arrived luke, like they had been deep fred then cooled down, then reheated by a heat lamp. When I mentioned it. The server returned with a fresh fried side order, and they were glorious seasoned with Rosemary. Yum!

Met friends here and had a party of 8 which included kids. I made reservations and when we got there we were informed that a waitress had called in so they only had 1 server for the entire restaurant, so expect delays. We were fine with this since we would be chatting and catching up. We ended up not having to wait very long at all. Our drink order was taken right away, followed by our food order. Had we not been warned about being short staffed I'm not even sure we would have noticed a delay in anything! One person ordered a burger they were out of, but were able to substitute a beef burger for the elk burger and keep all the toppings. Everyone fully enjoyed their food, kids included!! I did find the restaurant hard to find as it's in an apartment complex

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! The service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and professional. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and every detail felt thoughtfully planned. The food (or product/service) was top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I couldn’t have asked for a better time. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely love this place and have been here many times. Really the only nicer restaurant in the surrounding suburbs and so we greatly appreciate that it's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I've had many items on the menu and loved them all. The pizzas are the best thing on the menu imo but today I got the sandwich special which was a shrimp po boy and it didn't disappoint. My dining mates loved the pork belly tacos (spicy!) and the ranch house chicken. Mocktails were all dynamite. Among the better ones I've had and the prices are not unreal as they are at some places. Service is always fantastic and we love the interior space. We now live super close and will be coming here all the time!

We enjoyed a quiet and cozy table with a large group after graduation. We had excellent service and enjoyed a delicious dinner! We loved the loaded tots, the brussel sprouts and the corn dip as appetizers! For dinner, I had the chicken bowl, but others in our party enjoyed the burgers, chicken salad, steak frites and the pot roast!

I stopped in on an off chance of good food. I was not disappointed. A great omelette and perfectly cooked bacon at 1 in the afternoon. The service from Josh at the bar was fantastic. So good I brought my wife back the next day for lunch. We live two hours away but when we are in town we will try to stop in. One last thing I enjoyed the food and staff so much that we have a group of around 15 we will be taking there for dinner at the end of April. Great job, I don't say that much and I eat out a lot.

I have to say they are my favorite breakfast potatoes that I've had at a restaurant. They have nice crispy bits and they mix in some cheese and herbs. I added mayo to my bagel sandwich as I felt last time it was a bit dry. Next time I would want to order it with arugula as I feel it need some freshness. Over all service was good.

I love going to Oliver's when I'm looking for a variety. It's a very cozy spot and I do enjoy how the place is spaced out and the vibes are great! Service has always been quick and the cocktails are very refreshing. Some of the food is average in taste but I personally enjoy the loaded tots and ordering the Korean chicken sandwich!

Our friends brought us here for dinner while we were in the area! Perfect spot to hang out and grab a bite! Located in an apartment complex, there is a shared lot with parking available adjacent to the restaurant! The interior is open, while remaining cozy! It feels upscale, yet approachable, with quality finishes that elevate the experience. Our server was fantastic the whole evening! I opted for the Fried Chicken Sandwich, which was a perfect take on the classic: juicy chicken, crunchy pickles, and creamy sauce. My favorite part was the chipotle aioli that came with the sweet potato fries: smoky with a hint of spice! I had to ask for more because I could have eaten that sauce with a spoon! If you're looking for great American food, I'd absolutely recommend this spot if you're in the area!

BFF had the honey pizza - his favorite. Husband had the raspberry daquoise, and I had the NY cheesecake with lemons curd and blueberry compote. Food was amazing. The service came with a smile and personality. Gotta love that. And it was a slow afternoon, which meant it was quiet and chill.... We loved it.

Finished in a wonderful evening at Oliver's tonight with great friends. Unfortunately ordered the pork belly bowl. I normally love pork belly. Unfortunately this pork belly was not rendered correctly. It was rubbery and super fatty, pretty disappointing. The others at the table loved their food so just take it for what it's worth that you may not want to order the pork belly.

Oliver's is a very cute, cozy place with great food and service. We went here on a Saturday for brunch before my niece's baptism so we had a pretty big group. Service seemed a little slower since it was Saturday and it looked busy. Pretty much everyone in the group gravitated towards two things on the menu. The Huevos rancheros and Oliver's sunrise. One person in the group got the flapjacks. Kids got Mac and cheese from the kid's menu and eggs. They devoured their food. The Huevos rancheros was delicious with avocado, salsa, refried black beans, queso fresco, chipotle aioli, over easy egg all set on top of crunchy tostada. Every one finished every single bite of it. The Oliver's sunrise is a big portion with eggs any style, bacon or sausage, toast and Oliver's hash. Every one seemed to enjoy it and had left over. The flapjacks were delicious I was told. We all had a great experience and I'm looking forward to going back for dinner sometime.

We arrived on a Tuesday, in the late morning. The restaurant and location are very nice. The decor and space is great. Apparently, reservations are recommended as the hostess was not very happy that we did not have reservations. We were seated at a table which was about as big as a postage stamp. Actually, I think I've seen bigger postage stamps! At first our server was attentive. However, it seemed like we wore out our welcome because he didn't come back to clear our dishes or remove glasses (again, table was smaller than a postage stamp!). That being said, the food was brought out quickly and was very good!! While we visited in November and the patio was closed, it looks like their patio may be 'dog friendly'. I would like to return in the spring (with a RESERVATION!) to see if we have a better experience the next time.

We came here Saturday around 5 with a group of 8. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to seat us. Thank you. We ordered the breakfast pizza. It was good. They have the fire roasted oven. Every one said their food was good. Our server Andrew did a great job. Thank you. I like to try it for breakfast some time.

Popped in here on a Sunday night visiting MN for the first time. Was craving a pizza and their pepperoni pizza was so good. I could see the cooks putting the pizza in a brick oven. Crust was perfect. Not too thin or thick. They had a nice drink menu. Husband loved his old fashion. I don't remember what I got but it was yummy!! They were packed! Server was sweet and packed up our leftovers for us. Neat little place. We have intentions of visiting MN again but would come back here in a heartbeat.

This is such a busy place. I can see why people would meet here for a meal. There is a beautiful bar and plenty of seating. We came in on Friday at lunchtime. We didn't have trouble being seated. Service was friendly and efficient. My husband had breakfast tacos and I got Avocado toast. I loved the tomatoes they were the highlight for me. The bacon on my husband's breakfast tacos was thick and cooked just right. My husband had been here before for a business meeting. He thought I would like it and I sure am glad he brought me here.

Really disappointing experience Saturday night. Service wasn't great but that happens from time to time and experience always helps. The bigger deal was the food. The MOST important part and what a fail. They have changed their pizza dough from pretty solid thicker crust to a poor heggies impersonation. So sad and what a bad value. (Don't get me wrong heggies is good late night at the bar but...it doesn't cost you $60 for 3 pies)

Again, if I could give 3 1/2 stars I would. Oliver is doing a lot of great things and there are some minor areas of potential improvement. I have been here for dinner and now I thought I would try breakfast after getting off of night shift. The first time I came here, I got the pot roast. It was good. Not fantastic, but good. On the dry side, it really needed more au' juis that came with it, and so I asked for extra. Service was good, the ambience is kind of like a cross between a contemporary American restaurant crossed with a coffee café shop or something. Happy hour looked to be quite generous, with food and a variety of drinks that actually are worth discount if you came during those times. I think they are 3 to 5 PM and then something like after nine or 9:30 PM?? the drinks are creative, well-balanced, and some thing that you could not get at a normal restaurant and bar. Another time, I came here after completing a night shift for breakfast. I got the eggs Benedict, with the salad and a side of bacon, and the bloody Mary with house style mix. The bloody Mary came with a skewer, full of lots of yummies, including cheese, pickled items, salami, and other the obligatory celery stock. The bernais over the eggs benedict had a distinctly unique flavor, which I still have not decided is good or bad, that was herbal, like in nature, and nothing like I've tasted with eggs Benedict before in my life. Nevertheless, the egg was perfectly poached with a runny yolk, And honestly? The salad dressing was so good. It was just a great complement to the savory numbness of the Benedict. Again, so why three stars, and not Fore? The ingredients and quality are there, but proper executions of dishes are lacking. A little mistake here, overcook the meat there, a funky taste, that is unexplainable, and these little things add up. It seems to be a trend that restaurants in the twin cities have all of the trapping and resources to be a great restaurant, but lack the actual management and culinary talent to pull it off.

Met up with a couple of friends for dinner and drinks at a place that almost never disappoints. We love to sit at the bar and everyone is always very friendly. We had the Cuernavaca drink and I ordered the special burger. This week is it the Elote burger with a corn mixture on top of the patty and tortilla strips. Awesome burger but had to get a second order of fries as the ones that came with the meal were cold. That's an exception to the rule of good food! They got my hot ones out quickly and it was all good. Great service! Def recommend

I recently had breakfast at Oliver's-one of my favorite restaurants. I ordered an omelet that came with a very small lettuce salad on the plate. Most restaurants that serve omelets serve it with hash browns or toast. I asked if I could add toast and the server said that that would be a $4.99 add on! I thought that the price was absurd so I declined. The omelet was great and the server was very nice. I would like for the restaurant to serve something along with the omelet other than a small salad. If one wants toast charge say $2 not $5. I love the staff here and the ambiance. Always fully staffed. Generally this is a wonderful restaurant.

I drive by this place often and finally decided to order some food to go. Was very intrigued by their garlic mushroom pizza. I was hoping it would be a little different then what I received, but it was still good. Was hoping for something similar to the old UNO mushroom pizza. This had the taste of sauteed mushrooms in butter put on a pizza. I didn't taste a ton of garlic, but it was still good. Good crust. Also ordered some chicken tenders and fries for my kiddo. Not your typical tenders. These were really tasty! Parking is a bit of a hassle, not a place you can just easily park, you have to drive all the way around and park in the back. Not easily accessed, but not the biggest deal. Would venture back to try other items.

After dinner my friends and I wanted to go somewhere for drinks and dessert! One of my friends suggested this place and she is now my BEST friend haha There is plenty of parking in the back. The is also indoor and outdoor seating whether permitting. The atmosphere is upscale but still inviting! Very cozy and the service was excellent! A reservation here is a must! We didn't know that, so we got a spot at the bar (very lucky since they were busy!) The desserts we got were absolutely luxurious and soooo good! The drinks we got were smooth, chilled and were truly a treat! I am counting the days till I get to go back! This is honestly a gem in Shoreview!

Warm comfortable atmosphere with really well made food. Definitely worth any trip to get to a what a benefit for the locals! Service was both attentive and gracious ( like pre covid... remember?) I had the Oliver's sunrise with nice potatoes au gratin, bacon fresh baked sourdough toast and two eggs scrambled with cheddar... it was made and presented with the simple elements of care which has largely and sadly left many restaurants these days. My wife had the pot roast which was delicious, warming , hearty and rustic. She loved it as did I when I sneaked a piece! This is a winner get over here if you are scrolling looking for a dress new place to try to survive these terrible MN weather.

My sister's always wanted to try this place due to recommendations from her coworkers. I flew in from New York for my brother's wedding and as soon as my sister picked me up, we headed to Oliver's for our 9:45am reservation for brunch. I love the atmosphere and the many windows of this place. The bar had plenty of seating, there were a good amount tables and booths. We were in a booth that was right next to this little lounge area and I loved it so much. Sydnie was our server and she was AMAZING. My mom was joining us and she had to bring my 1 year old niece but Sydnie didn't rush us at all. She was attentive, friendly and made our experience wonderful. We ordered 3 of the Blushing Strawberry mimosas, 2 Benedicts and a breakfast burrito for my mom. We also asked for some scrambled eggs and sausage for my niece. Food was good, tasty and came out fresh. I had to order another mimosa, although strong tasted pretty good. Can't wait to come back!

We found this place by accident, we had one hour to kill between things and we googled around and found this fantastic restaurant, and later become our regular place to go. They have amazing selection from brunch, lunch, happy hours to dinner (see? We really have been there so many times at different times). The atmosphere of the restaurant gives you a really relax vibe. Open concept where you can sit in the bar and watch the chefs prepare your food, or sit by the table with comfy booths, or relax on the couches and large chairs while drinking coffee chatting with friends. The food is also pretty good, they are somewhat modernized American cuisine with few other cultures fusions. Overall good place to visit and revisit.

What a great spot! Lots of seating options including a patio, regular tables, lounge area, couches, high tops. They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and have fun cocktails. There is a to go station for desserts and coffee. The Nutella cookie was delicious. The mini pies are super cute too. The food was fast and tasty. Family friendly. Lots of parking including additional parking in the back. Make a reservation for a Friday night or weekend, they get busy!

We found this restaurant/bar on our way to dinner as we were looking for a good cocktail. We found a spot at the back bar and very cool experience and got packed at the bar pretty fast around 4pm on a Sunday. I was very satisfied with the bartenders service and the drink. Revel the Playing Field. It was a very unique old fashioned with some habeñero bitters which added a nice kick with heat. The food looked and smelled really good and I think I may have to stop back when in the Shoreview area.

I gave 4 out of five stars because servers were slow to clear tables and socialized more than worked. Food tasted very good the margarita pizza was excellent and made properly. Lobster tacos were tasty, but could definitely use a little bit more lobster in them had 3 to 4 tiny pieces the size of a quarter in each taco. Our server was very friendly, but could be a little bit more attentive. Most of the wait staff is pretty young. The chef is putting out tasty food but could use a more mature wait staff to match the food quality and creativity. I'd give the margarita pizza a 9.5 out of 10 comparing it to Trevail's Pig Ate my Pizza. Make reservations on a week night too to avoid long waits. We waited almost an hour for a table a on a Tues night.

My mom and I were in the area and decided to try out this spot for a quick dinner after running errands. Without a reservation on a Friday night, we were able to get a table quickly. There were a handful of meals on the menu that caught my eye, and I eventually decided to try the grain bowl with chicken. It was fresh, flavorful, and so delicious! I'd definitely come back to this spot for breakfast or dinner sometime to try their other menu items that sounded tasty! Our server was friendly and we enjoyed the trendy but still comfortable atmosphere of this spot! Quick tip - We were seated at a high top table that had uncomfortable stools without any back rest. No big issue, but next time I'd ask for a table with regular chairs so we could be a bit more comfortable.

Oliver's is very good and always friendly. Definitely feels like a home town cafe. Just a nice comfortable vibe. The food is done well. Is it the best I've ever had no, but I always leave satisfied and happy with my time spent there. Great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Their pot roast served all day is a must have and I've eaten it for breakfast and dinner. Good all around place for family dinner or a date. Cannot go wrong with this spot.

This is a nice place. I sat at the bar, traveling solo for work, bar tender was nice and suggested a few of his favorites. I had the specialty burger of the week, it was awesome. Burger had bacon, cheese, and wild mushrooms, tasty stuff. The fries are cut thin and crispy, I like that. Fries were served with something similar to marinara sauce, was a first for me but enjoyable. Beers were $6.49 had the SKA tropical hazy, I recommend this beer.

This is my new brunch date spot with my gal pal and we've had a great experience each time we've dined in for breakfast. Our first time we shared the burrito which was good but didn't knock my socks off and their potatoes are almost like au gratin style - the second time I had them I asked them to make them crispy, they were delicious. My friend ordered the pancakes with all these fancy fixings of lemon and crumble I had a bite and it was so good, too bad I'm a savory breakfast person (but it's nice to have friends that share their sweet breakfasts) the service has always been great and I love the decor here, great open space with natural lighting and views of the kitchen .

First time visiting Oliver's and won't be my last. The ambiance is feels like three restaurants in one (coffee, bar, and grill). We were able to catch the happy hour special, which saved us about $10 on food. The tots were cheesy good and the burger + fries hit the spot. Our server was very timely and always had a smile.

The steak tacos, they were cold and not much steak in them, filled mostly with pickled radishes and onions. Breakfast burrito was mostly potatoes not much chorizo in it. Service was slow and inattentive. Had to get up and ask one of the 4 wait staff rolling silverware for a refill of coffee and the condiment requested when meal was delivered. Next trip to Minneapolis area we will skip Oliver's.

Best mussels I have had in the US, if not ever. They come with a thick tomato based sauce with some sausage. The lobster tacos were also great and they make a killer old fashioned. I've driven by many times but didn't realize what a gem it was. Will definitely be back.

Pretty average all around. Wide selection of food all of which from my several visits are done fine. Instead of a few very well prepared options, you have many very mediocre options. Good if you e got a picky crowd and just need something. Also, that lack of restaurant choices in the area bode well for this place. The service was always decent. Don't bother with the patio, it's loud and right on a busy corner. Lots of car noise. Maybe in 10/15 years when electric cars are the norm and fewer loud diesel trucks are rumbling by.

The service was great, the inside reminded me of a modern diner vibe. Dog friendly out on the patio. There is a cafe section in the front of the restaurant where you can order coffee and pastries with seating and tables available. Though it turns into a waiting area later in the evening, so it's more available in the mornings. Pork belly tacos and Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich were tasty. Rosemary fries were okay, they're the thinner fries, but the ketchup was good! The sweet potato fries were okay as well, nothing special. We did like the Dill Blood Mary, you could also choose horseradish instead of dill. It came with a mini skewer of cubed cheese, cold brisket piece, pickle, and olives. Oh and of course the Minnesota way of a beer snit. Lattes were average, rather strong. Nitro cold brew was good! They also have a kombucha on tap. Would come back for more food and drinks!

We stopped in for a dessert or treat about 4 PM. No espresso or any coffee requiring a barista. Apparently all they had was a pot of Folgers somewhere. The monkey bread was ok. The scone was underbaked and gooey. The peanut butter banana cream pie was green; the crust was chewy and mysterious...perhaps from cookie dough. Our previous three visits for breakfast, lunch and dinner were likewise disappointing.

Oliver's was a nice find. I live in Saint Paul, and my girlfriend lives in Mounds View. It was a perfect midway point for us to meet. It's right off Rice Street exit. They are always service friendly. Sit at the bar or grab a table. They can get busy.
