| - Olivers Public House started out promising, as a lunch date with my wife. There was one other table of four in the restaurant when we arrived. Our drink order was taken by the waiter almost immediately. He took our food order about ten minutes later. In all, it took us about 35 minutes to get our food. This struck me as odd on a Monday, at lunch time (12:30 pm).
My wife was pleased with her bison burger (cooked medium well), served with ample greens as the side. She found her food good; but, the vinaigrette coating her greens was mostly vinegar with some salt.
I had my Reuben made special: no Russian dressing, add aioli. The Reuben was advertised to be pastrami served on house-prepared rye. The pastrami was corned beef, which would be the most disappointing thing, if there had been more than two ounces of meat on a sandwich that was about 16 square inches in size. However, the distinct lack of sandwich filling, combined with the fact that the filling was not as advertised, made this sandwich singularly disappointing for me. The bread was taste-free. My side, the chips, were decent.
Prices were disappointing, making me wish I had stuck with my original suggestion to go across the street.
