| - I really want to love Oliver's, because the restaurant is a great addition to our neighborhood. The brunch is awesome, but dinner is frustrating, too fussy and precious, and the serving sizes are so small! I ordered the panzanella salad and ate it in about two bites. Here it is, September, the height of the harvest, and there were hardly any tomatoes or fresh vegetables. My friend ordered the salmon and her whole meal could have been served on a bread plate. I wish they'd add some less expensive options to their dinner menu, and so, apparently, does the rest of Madison, because we were there on a Saturday night and the restaurant was almost empty. I think a few sandwiches would go a long way. It feels like a restaurant that should be medium priced. The interior is beautiful, but it isn't a white tablecloth place. Also, we were freezing under the air conditioning vents.
