Sydney was an incredible server! The service from her was amazing. She was super helpful with us in choosing food + desserts, and her recommendation for the pumpkin pie was spot on! Could not be more happy with her as our server.

We were in town for business and heard buzz about Oliver's. Our experience overacheived our expectations. Great service that was complimented with even better food. I hope that if I'm back in the City soon that it's close to this area to come back and experience it again.
