Tried Oliver's because my husband found it listed on some "Hottest Restaurants in Madison" list. I was quite impressed with the service and quality of the food.
Our server was great, personable and attentive.
The farm-to-table concept is a favorite of mine since I don't like the idea of food being highly processed and/or traveling long distances. We enjoyed the flatbread pizza as an appetizer, salmon and steak for entrees, and the churro dessert. Those churros were GOOD!
The flatbread pizza was slightly overcooked (or possibly overbroiled) as the broccoli pieces on the pizza were completely black. Other than this, the flatbread was very tasty.
I am not clear on what I should wear at Oliver's? I went to Oliver's wearing black pants, boots and a tailored blazer. But other people there had on dirty tennis shoes and t-shirts with holes. So I don't know if I was very overdressed or if the others were very underdressed?
I must admit that I've been more impressed by other restaurants in Madison, but all in all, I was quite happy with my experience and would recommend dinner at Oliver's.
