    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.

    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.

    Ribeye

    RUN, do not walk to Oliver's. We randomly stopped for the night in Macon and yelped where to go. Ok so Oliver's got top rating, let's try it out. The $40 ribeye is worthy of double to triple the price. I'm from Charleston and this beats out steakhouses there. Service is amazing as well. Aidan is unbelievable!!! Give this man a raise immediately, if not sooner. Haven't met a server this great in years. I guess I'll have to stop back here again randomly! Just had to update because the deserts. I might now move here because of the chocolate cake. The chocolate cake increased real estate values in Macon Georgia. Wow

    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

    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.

    AN EXPERIENCE NOT JUST A MEAL…read more This place is located in a kind of seedy downtown area of Macon. We walked in and the vibe throughout the place won me over instantly. When the staff seem to enjoy their jobs and working with each other as well, chances are you have a winner. We were seated immediately in a cozy booth with floor to ceiling graffiti. The place just oozed character! We were told that at times in the loft above our heads they had live music FYI. The waitress was friendly and on point. We never found ourselves waiting to order or for drinks, etc. The food was great. We started with the solid gold soul rolls which were tasty. I'd say 2-3 people for this app. My wife had the hot pig and fig which she enjoyed. She wanted something a little light and it was perfect for her. I ordered the Dr John Burger. The cook forgot my bacon . No bueno. Our waitress was game and was quick to bring me bacon to complete the burger. It was well cooked and the flavors were excellent so all was good. Our companion enjoyed her food as well. We all left full and happy. And, yes I would return and I recommend trying them yourself.

    The Rookery is definitely worth a visit if you're in downtown Macon. The atmosphere is fun,…read morewelcoming, and full of local character, and the service was friendly throughout our meal. We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were a great appetizer--crispy, flavorful, and a nice way to kick things off. For our entrées, we had the fish and chips and the smoked turkey sandwich. The fish had a nice crispy batter, and the smoked turkey sandwich was tasty and satisfying. My only disappointment was the fries. They were a bit soggy and lacked the crispiness I was hoping for, especially with the fish and chips. A crisp, hot fry would have taken the meal to the next level. Overall, the food was good, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.
