Seasonal risotto with salmon

Food was absolutely delicious, and our server was great as well. We loved sitting at the window table so we could watch the sunset as we dined.

Oliver's was a recommendation from a local. Glad we decided to listen. Cute warm and homey atmosphere. It had a nice lunch crowd even though it was pouring rain. Seated immediately and drink order was taken. We started with the sweet potato fries which were delicious. For lunch I ordered theTCB melt with fries, my husband order the salmon with broccoli and pasta salad. ( he was not a fan of the salad) and my son had the chicken fettuccini with pesto. My son's meal came out wrong (a sandwich) it happens but I felt bad eating while he waited. Overall it was a wonderful experience and would dine there again. See menu for better descriptions and prices.

The place is small but has indoor and outdoor seating. The food comes out timely, the waiting staff is good. Everything taste decent, it's definitely worth a try.

Chicken pesto pasta

Best corner bistro in Macon. Serving for both Lunch and Dinner. For app starters try the sweet potato fries. Our main course consisted of; 1. Excellent sweetened Salmon garnished with brussel spouts and pasta salad 2. Pesto chicken fettuccine - cooked perfectly 3. Turkey melt with a side of fries. The bistro building matched the downtown vibe which is a nineteenth century civil war era. Also, our waiter was very attentive however it did take time to receive our order due to time of day.

I was very underwhelmed by this restaurant. I did not have a bad experience but everything seemed mediocre. The service was fine, the food is good and the restaurant was well decorated and clean. The staff did not present well and this restaurant could have some class. After a short but considerable wait on a table, we were given the opportunity to sit at one of the tables in the bar area. A party left just ahead of us sitting down and the staff failed to thoroughly clean the dining area. My wife and I both ordered a sandwich with fries and a small salad. Complete assumption on our part but we prefer that a salad comes prior to a meal...but this is on us for not asking. All of the food was exactly as we ordered. They serve large portions here. I would dine here again but I would expect to have a stellar experience on my next visit or it would be my last.

Attended a Christmas Celebration with Forever Diamonds last week, and my First Experience with Oliver's was outstanding. Everyone and everything was great. The atmosphere was perfect as downtown Macon at this corner at Popular and 2nd Street is an absolute pleasure to visit. The Bloody Mary spicy was great. Our table service team did an excellent job. The appetizers were really good. And my Rosotto Salmon dish was outstanding. All in all a perfect night. Thank you Oliver's & Forever Diamonds. Two outstanding business. Merry Christmas!

What an amazing place... After visiting another place that appeared to be out of business, I decided to drive to downtown to try Oliver's corner bistro. Being that I was dining by myself, I chose to sit at the bar. Brooklyn, the bartender/server, was friendly, attentive, and very personable. I wasn't super hungry, so I decided to try the tomato bisque soup and the pesto cheese bread starter. Both tasted fresh and very flavorful. It tasted a little like a high-end, deconstructed grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. While I was enjoying my food at the bar, Brooklyn told me about other menu items, including some from the Saturday and Sunday brunch menu. I'll definitely have to return the next time I stop in Macon. Cheers

Beautiful interior

Way to go Macon- you are two for two with meals today. My coworkers and I had a wonderful meal! Our server Megan was attentive but not a hoverer. The place was busy with a couple of large groups at one table. The kitchen was cranky out food, though. We had little lag time between ordering and eating. We started at the bar prior to sitting down for dinner and the bartender was talented and engaging. There was a set menu that was populated by specials of the day. I chose the ravioli of the day- stuffed smoked chicken with ricotta. Perfect portion size and very tasty. All three of us enjoyed our meals.

Stopped in for dinner after work midweek. Sat at the bar which felt like being in a little piece of…read morehistory with its polished wood and dim lighting. Bar tender was funny, friendly and accommodating. Burger was on point and the onion rings fire. Ordered the James Brown's Black & Blue which was fantastic paired with Horse's Neck.

There's a certain kind of downtown Macon place that doesn't bother trying to impress you with…read morechandeliers or words like "curated." It just opens the door, turns the lights on, and says, "You hungry or not?" It is designed for food and drink not ambiance. This was one of those spots. The drinks showed up quick enough to make you think they might've already known your order before you sat down. The food was solid in that dependable way--nothing trying to reinvent itself, nothing apologizing for being what it is. Just honest plates doing honest work. Kyle the bartender is a study in modern Southern service industry diplomacy. Not exactly the kind of fellow you'd invite to Thanksgiving, but he kept things moving, kept things correct, and occasionally tried to lace the proceedings with a bit of entertainment--like a man juggling while also reading the room and half the room's thoughts. In the end, it's not a place you'll write home about in glowing, poetic letters. But it is a place you'll walk out of thinking, "Well... that did just fine." And in downtown Macon, that's sometimes all a man really needed in the first place.
