Reviews for Oliver's Restaurant in Buffalo, NY
Girlfriend and I went there for our five year anniversary. All I can say is INCREDIBLE. Wine was great, food was amazing,... dessert was awesome. Started off with the “decadence of egg” and shrimp cocktails. The egg was phenomenal even though it wasjust a single egg, the flavor was incredible. I got the Wagyu steak and my girlfriend got the seared scallops - I can definitelysay that was the best steak I’ve ever had, definitely worth the hefty price tag. Ended with salted toffee and mocha gelatowith a cappuccino, the gelato was also amazing. Our server Carl was super friendly with a good sense of humor. 10/10 woulddefinitely go again! Read more
Sat at the bar and Aaron took such good care of us. The inovative drink list was worthy of revisiting a few timed during the... meal. Wasp knees was my favorite close to whatever that smooth paradise in a glass was. Appetizers set up for what was a greatdinner experience. Scallops and wagyu steak with demi were almost as good as the seared duck. The homemade pasta wastremendous. Tender Buccatini perfection. And finally that Robin's egg... I want to order one of these that is the size of awedding cake. Creamy, crunchy, rich but delicate. Craveable contrast served on a plate. I'd return for the Robin's egg and thatdrink list alone. Belgium lambic just for show! Read more
Took my girlfriend here for dinner tonight for the first time and all I can say is WOW. The food was just as good as all my... friends promised me it would be. We sat at the bar, and our bartender Sydney gave us service that was even better than thefood!!! This is THE PLACE to take someone special in your life, I can't wait to go back. Read more
Wow how Oliver’s slid from a 5 to a 1. I was really looking forward to returning after the COVID break, but not to tough and... slimy Octopus, but I thought I would give it a pass and wait until the entree. The duck was tough and hard to cut and the redsnapper was burnt ,really burnt fish, and a lot of brown in a white fish. Really disappointed as I use to rave how theyprepared the best rack of lamb I have had in my life, and I have tried everywhere over the US. Drink prices are what you shouldexpect for a high end restaurant, but the food should compliment. I guess I could say the sides were made well, but usuallyare, so maybe a tough night of cooking to get the night going…I’ll give them the benefit that the cooktop wasn’t warm yet(or too warm rather…). The servers get compliments for doing a fine dining job. Read more
We went to Oliver's last night. The food and service was fantastic. Our server Devon was very attentive and personable. Our food... was delicious. If you get the chance to have their Robin's Egg dessert, I recommend it,unfortunately my picture didn't come out. Read more
Ate here recently for a birthday. The food was really great but service at times, not so much. After we had finished our meal... and had our plates taken, our waiter did not come by for 20 minutes, having been chatting up two adjacent tables during thattime, leaving us waiting for the bill at an empty table.

April 12, 2022 Good Day, Yesterday was our two year engagement anniversary. I was perusing online destinations to cater to my... lady for the evening. After browsing I remembered every time being at the intersection of Amherst and Delaware- my lady statingthat I've never taken her there. So, rightfully so I made reservations for 8:00 p.m. which was user friendly online and easilyconfirmed through my email as well as cell phone via text. Moving forward, upon arriving there was valet car service. The valetgentleman was very inviting/ well mannered & even opened the doors for my lady and I to get out the car. Addition taking theinitiative to do the same for the door to the establishment and followed suit in the same manner on the exiting portion of theestablishment while offering to take a picture of us for our memories hence; earning gratuity when it was all set and done. Onceentering the building there is a coat check in the foyer area if you chose to utilize that option. After that there is a podiumwhere a hostess expeditiously checks for your reservations and seats you immediately. The ambiance of this location iscompletely exceptional. The wait staff are dressed to the impress and the table was set up like they were expecting us.Tablecloth as well as tableware were practically brand new and clean. The wine list is quite extensive and the selection of foodwas eclectic concurrent to being able to touch anyone's pellets. The waiter which I believe his name was Dave was very attentiveand the epitome of helpful in asking questions while embodying a charisma required for the role that he has been employedfor. Food portions were great and the way the cuisine was prepared was top tier. I recommend the waygu steak ????. The spinachbread was tasty. We were even offered three different types of water (bottled, sparkling or tap). I really appreciate theinitiative as far as service and quality at this establishment. Definitely revisiting based on the experience an Read more
