| - My fiancé and I had Oliver ' s Valentines Day Prix Fixe menu. Service and cocktails were 5 stars, food ranged from 2 to 3 stars unfortunately. The food was OK, definitely not bad, but for the price I expected more. The crab appetizer (kind of like crab fritters), we're good. The Wild Rice cakes with duck ragu, while creative, sounded much better than they tasted. The Brisket entrée was hearty and solid, and probably my favorite dish of the night. The monkfish, while covered in delicious sauces, was over cooked and chewy. For desserts, also a mixed bag. The chocolate cake was delicious, this is probably the only thing I would order again. However, the financier (a small cake) with apples, was really, really dry and completely underwhelming.
I am definitely not giving up on Olivers, as I feel it is headed in the right direction. I just hope they figure out what they do well and let go of what they don't do well.
