| - All right, brunch lovers, listen up! I have good news to share. I met a friend for brunch yesterday and she recommended we go to Oliver's. It was my first time there and from the minute I stepped in the door, I knew she had led me in a classy yet relaxed & very tasty direction.
Our server, who's name happened to be Oliver (I know! What are the chances...), was attentive and lovely and patient and helpful in a very balanced & nuanced way. We really appreciated him. Our coffee cups never went cold and he had great ideas on what to order. I also want to make note that they make all their own meats, in house, people! Pretty great!!! And boy howdy, is it wildly apparent.
Their corned beef and hash, wow! The meat just fell apart and my friend was practically silent as she happily ate her meal. I'll be getting that next time. I ordered Willi's Omelet which has sweet, caramelized shallots, thick-cut, house-made bacon, spinach, tiny bits of apple and cheddar inside with a luscious, but light chive hollandaise drizzled over the top. The omelet was insane. INSANE! One of the best I've ever had. And I've had a lot of omelets. Just sayin'.
Along with that I got the rosti potatoes and some lightly dressed greens. The potatoes were just okay for me. They are finely shredded potatoes, not very flavorful, that were dark on the outside and stacked a bit too thick so they weren't as evenly finished inside as I would have liked. But they were all right and I had added cheddar to them so that helped. Next time I'll get the roasted potatoes instead. Now that I think of it, Oliver recommended the roasted, but I was apparently too curious about the rosti. Next time. And there will be a next time. Oh yes!
