Food was ok. The lobster bisque was phenomenal. The rest of the food was ok. Service was a little bit slow, everyone has a staffing problem. Nice views!

9/2022 We've been experiencing bad brunch a few times this fall and I have to give an update. When you microwave someone's eggs they are not over easy, and the plate is hot so the customer can tell that you're not a short order cook but rather a shortcut taker. Then we try again only to get cold poached eggs on the eggs benedict, undercooked eggs and that, very runny whites not properly poached. And of course toasting an English muffin is obviously rocket science to this kitchen. The waitress stood at the table next to us over and over while we waited 20 minutes to get a refill of coffee that we decided we didn't need. Then we finally got our ticket, and it will be the last. Sitting with dirty plates at the table for that 20 minutes was also not worth the cost of the same old same old on this menu. Spring 2022 was much better, back then they had.......... Magnificent brunch, kicking personalities of the staff, reasonable prices, and a view. No need to go anywhere else brunch starts at 9. Late lunch on Saturday is fantastic on the patio. The steak stuffed mushrooms stay hot in the pan until you're done with a very last one. Be alfredo sauce is rich and creamy not too much spice wonderful on the perfectly done alfredo with exquisitely made asparagus. And your drinks come in a glass with a smiling waitstaff. This is fantastic.

Oliver’s has always been our go to place when family and friends come to town, birthdays, holidays, etc! We absolutely love it! The one thing that stands out is they have a few people who focus on running out food as soon as it is done. The food is always hot and so good. We have always had great service especially from Cathy! She is amazing. The drinks are amazing as well. The view of the water and sunset is spectacular. You truly can’t go wrong with a lunch or dinner at Oliver’s!
