What User doesn't like about Oliver's:
don't get me wrong eating was super tasty, just far from what I was hoping from other higher grade vegan foods. the drachenobstceviche was the best article. crab cakes were good, bahn mi missing heat, the bite from the vinegar radishes meh best, would pass on the kung Pow-Cauliflower. drinking was good.

Our dishes were just not good. the chef has to rethink the menu and how ingredients can be combined and the owner has to rethink the price range.

It is easy to grind a huge bill here, so make sure they really want a $100 easy meal. I think that eating was good, but the experience was not worthy of his pri...

Oliver's presents a beautiful atmosphere paired with a unique vegan menu that has garnered both praise and critique. While the ceviche stands out, other dishes like Pad Thai and curry have left diners yearning for authentic flavors. The service and hospitality shine, especially during large group visits. However, some patrons found the food under-seasoned and portions inconsistent for the price. Cocktails were well-received, yet caution is advised for those looking for a budget-friendly meal. Ultimately, Oliver’s charm lies in its inviting ambiance, making it a potential gem for vegan dining, with room for improvement.

Really excellent food with not a meat substitute to see. Especially loved the oyster mushroom ‘scallop’ spaghetti

Amazing high end vegan food. I love the flavoring of this food, it’s seems like Asian fusion. All the desserts we tried were also heavenly.
