Oliver’s

Oliver's in the south loop is a gem.I ate at Oliver's this weekend. It's on Wabash in the south loop. It was delicious. Every dish was a hit. They are still finishing up the restaurant, but we didn't care. They nailed all their dishes. Their gnocchi was pillowy and amazing.Their bread grilled in beef fat was spectacular.Their chicken was moist and juicy.The key lime pie was one of the best I've ever had.They have a really top notch chef and same with their mixologist (he was at Scofflaw).We spent time talking to the owner as well. Such a nice person. He exited a couple software companies and decided he wanted a passion project. Well, you can sense his passion throughout the entire place. I can't wait to go back.At the end we asked for an espresso martini to split amongst the four of us as we wanted to taste it. Instead of bringing us one cocktail he had it split into four cute tiny glasses. We didn't ask for that. They really nailed everything. It's a little on the pricey side, but it doesn't feel any more expensive than most good restaurants these days.Only change I would make would be perhaps to either cook the onions on the burger a little longer or perhaps don't put them on. Pretty minor critique.Excited to go back.

I had some amazing meals in the restaurant that used to occupy this space, but am so glad we now have Oliver's!A drink or two with a friend plus some snacks, but just a preview for my next visit. Service is outstanding. Attentive, thoughtful, anticipatory, but not intrusive. The wine list was excellent and reminded me of living back in the West Coast where something other than mega brands were featured. We also enjoyed a spectacularly balanced cocktail (sweet seems to be the Chicago way too often). The fluke tartare hits exactly the right note and at first I wondered why it was served without crackers, but after one bite I knew it didn't need them. Equally salty crispy and reminiscent of McDonalds on their best day (this is a compliment, I assure you) - the fries were crave worthy. I'd happily eat them daily. What a gem! Go quickly before it's discovered by the masses and you can't get in.*One quick note: they charge 20% service and because it's compulsory, you will also be taxed on this.

Excellent addition to the neighborhood! Inside it's so elevated and beautiful! The decor and vibes are 100%. We had amazing cocktails, delish fries, and an amazing piece of pie for dessert. My husband and I already had dinner elsewhere but we are already planning to come back to try their burger! The hospitality from all the staff inside was top notch. They are all so kind and helpful. The space is on the smaller side, so make sure to make a reservation on their website or Tock.

The food is fantastic, and the service is beyond. We had dinner Oliver's and vowed to return as we were signing the bill. The spot is cozy and comfortable, and I'm looking forward to future meals on their patio or at the bar. So happy to have them in the neighborhood!

Soft opening. Having some cocktails while waiting to be seated. Staff is very friendly. Greeted and queued up as soon as we arrived.Clean. Monaco meets "west coast" Gatsby vibes.Menu is small but looking forward to it!

Came here on opening night! I was able to grab a spot at the bar as I was dining alone. Because of the close proximity, I started chatting with someone else who was also dining solo and had been a customer and subscriber of Entree. Since it's new, the menu is quite slim, and as a pescatarian, there were very few options I could indulge in. I ended up getting the truffle gnocchi as my main dish. This is definitely a tasty dish, rich in flavor, and very filling. I had to pace myself to make room for the dessert I really wanted to try. Next time I visit, I definitely want to try the salad.The crème caramel pie was absolutely the best pie I have ever tasted. I'm having flashbacks just thinking about its deliciousness. The drink I got also paired very nicely with both my entrée and dessert.

Amazing food, drinks and service. I had so much fun talking with Jason and others. Beautiful location too!

Our first attempt wasn't successful. There was only one available seat. The hostess was not pleasant. Knowing the bar is small, we decided to try again a few days later. A different hostess this time and she was so pleasant. We were able to sit at the bar. We started out with drinks, shared the fluke tartare, salad and chicken and stayed for more drinks. Food, drinks and service were absolutely great.

Very, very happy the have come into the neighborhood. Jason and Luke are the owners ( I've met at least) and both have a real passion for the restaurant and are really good people.When that translates into attention to customers and details, and some seriously good food and cocktails it's a combination that really works.It also shows in their staff. Leadership is top down and they prove that.Seriously good burger, Black Truffle Gnocchi are a must order, and I recommend using the Toast Royale to clean up the gnocchi sauce.Enjoy!

The best gnocchi, chicken, and key lime pie that I have ever had! The French martini was delicious. Menu, food, and service were outstanding.
