| - A group and I ventured to Oliver & Bonacini before an event at the ACC recently. It's in a great location if you are going to a concert or sporting event there, so the convenience was great. The restaurant itself is gorgeous inside and our waitress was friendly and informed. Three people in our party were allergic to gluten and she was accommodating and knowledgable about what entrees were best and allergen free.
The food itself, however, was not necessarily anything to write home about. I had the mac and cheese which was good, but rather watery at points. The breadcrumbs were only crisp and distributed on one half of the dish, which was disappointing. The portion is also incredibly large and given the richness of the cheese, impossible to finish. I did, however, have the fresh juice of the day, which I believe was grapefruit, and it was delicious.
I may go back again if I'm in the area and need to have a quick dinner as it was not horrible, but for the price I was definitely expecting something a little better.
