We go there often and it never disappoints. Olivier Bistro is a great place for a group (it is small so call ahead). We always enjoy the meal and the manager and owner are super nice.

So happy to find this Brooklyn gem on Thanksgiving during a long layover. Food was cooked to perfection and so delicious. I highly recommend the beef Wellington. I don’t know if it is a regular menu item.
