| - Lombardino's is one of my very favorite restaurants in Madison, so I have walked past Oliver's Public House many times. We have a group of friends that chooses different restaurants and this was this month's pick. It is larger than I thought with bar chairs that are huge and heavy. It wasn't crowded, so this worked fine. The outdoor patio was full, but we were the only inside customers.
Fried green tomatoes appetizer- good. Not stunning, but good. The slaw was colorful and dressing bright. I would have preferred more fried green tomatoes (there were 3 small slices) than slaw, only because I ordered a salad.
The beet salad was really tasty and nicely plated with super thin slices of apples as garnish. I love beet salads and this did not disappoint.
I also love salmon, mostly made at home by my husband. Most times out I think, why did I order the salmon? This was possibly the best salmon at a restaurant that I have had. It was "wild salmon with wild rice, wilted spinach, shaved carrot, roasted broccoli, spiced cucumber yogurt sauce". Perfectly cooked, nice spicy sauce, loved the wild rice. I would definitely have this again.
Parking is at a premium in this area, but they apparently have parking available. I could not figure out exactly where it is. Will study the map for next visit.
