    This was our second visit to Oliver's and it was excellent. The welcome was friendly, the seating and atmosphere were lovely. The food choices were varied. The ceviche was fresh and tasty as was the wonderful Caribbean fish soup (recommended). The fried chicken was crispy and moist and the mash and asparagus were excellent (big portions). The veg burger was also good. We didn't have room for dessert but hope to next time we visit.

    Though the restaurant was at most half full, the kitchen was overwhelmed with take-out orders, leaving the two of us to wait over an hour for our meal. Our waiter, a pleasant, older gentleman, seemed unaware of our wait, asking whether we had left room for dessert. Food was okay, but not worth the wait.

    The service and ambience were excellent, but the Sea Bass (special) was a little lackluster and needed more flavor. The chicken curry dish was also very good. We love Oliver’s—it’s our go-to local spot. Highly recommend the his place.

    Oliver’s is a Miami institution; on the same corner for nearly three decades. We went on a Wednesday night and it was packed so it’s best to reserve a table. The menu is varied, with lots on offer. The kids menu was excellent. The ‘flatbreads’ are a high light. The wine list was also excellent. The meals are tasty and plentiful and the service was attentive and thoughtful. Thank you Oliver’s - we’ll be back!
