    Oliver's: Once a Favorite, Now a Maybe I've been a longtime fan of Oliver's -- the ambiance, the French bistro aesthetic, the sense that you've stumbled into a little corner of Paris tucked into Brooklyn. But my most recent visit made me question if the magic is fading. Service: Cold and Defensive Our waitress was... difficult. Dismissive, oddly defensive, and unwilling to take accountability. At one point, she claimed I didn't get the dessert menu because I had stepped outside to smoke -- which I hadn't. Instead of simply placing the menu on the table like any competent server would, she made it my fault. That kind of interaction just kills the mood. Food: Technically Fine, Totally Forgettable Everything was cooked well, sure. But nothing tasted like anything special. Sauces were bland. Seasoning was minimal. No dish stood out. It all felt uninspired, like the chef was following a script but forgot the soul. Price: $127 -- For What? With service that felt icy and food that didn't deliver, $127 for one person felt absurd. I've had better meals at half the price where I was treated like a human being, not an inconvenience. I'm hoping this was just an off night. Oliver's has been great in the past. But the vibe, the food, and the service all missed the mark -- and for now, I can't recommend it the way I used to.

    Came here for Father's Day dinner with the family. Service was great and the staff made sure we were seated and took keen attention to our table even though we were a large group. The food was underwhelming to me. The highlights were the steak and the salmon. The most disappointing dish was the French onion soup, the cheese on top was not baked over the goblet but placed directly in the soup.

    I had the best time here and will return. Yes it is cash only with $3 fee plus what your bank charges you for using an ATM. They definitely have the French bistro vibe down and it is very intimate setting. So if you are coming solo, don't be shy. The staff was friendly and professional- no yelling or any rudeness. My serve gave me generous wine pours so I was in heaven. I order the duck pate, kids burger, duck entree and the profiteroles. We will definitely be back here and I will have my Amex lol :) On the truth scale my duck was not medium rare which I love. I shared this server so she knew and she was open to my feedback. Next time - I am trying the French onion soup- and mussels or beef

    What an all around delightful experience. The cozy ambiance, the astounding service by Annette (so much so we had to ask if she was the owner!) and don't get me started on how delicious all the food was!! The recommended cauliflower appetizer special - delish, a dozen $1 happy hour oysters - fantastic, and the star - the cote de boeuf - mouth wateringly superb! Already planning our next visit and recommending to others!

    I love this place and have been coming here for years. Excellent pastries and chocolate croissants and sometimes savory baked goods and hot or iced coffee, Americanos etc in the morning on your way to work 10/10 recommend. Also love their food for brunch or dinner. We love coming here to watch the NYC Marathon because the front windows open completely and it's and inside / outside perfect way to enjoy and watch the runners run right by. Service is alway excellent. Bloody Mary's today were perfectly medium spiced. Love this little spot anytime of day.

    Came in for a happy hour drink on my way home. Service is fast, courteous as expected. Great neighborhood place.

    Apple martini
    Patrick N.

    We came here on a Saturday night. It's a cozy place. The food was ok. We got the - apple martini: drink was well made. Strong but had a nice slice of apple and apple flavor - escargot: good garlic taste and spices - fried cauliflower: this was good. There were almond pieces on there for additional flavor - poulet au citron (chicken): sauce was good. Chicken meat was good and juicy - hanger steak: this wasn't good -- the meat was very chewy even with the medium rare pieces. It's just the wrong cut

    Profiteroles
    Yelena C.

    Outstanding, very well executed food and great service. The eggs Norwegian were perfectly cooked, solid whites, runny yolk, and the salmon was silky. The croque monsieur bread was fluffy and airy with a great crust. The merguez sandwich was so flavorful. I loved the shoestring fries that came with the sandwich but the potatoes that came with eggs benedict were dry. The profiteroles were disappointing,

    4.5 stars! They're cash only! plenty of outdoor seating and friendly service. Came for brunch and had the best croque madame i've ever had. Nice crunch on the bread, melty cheese, good ham ratio and the runny egg on top is delish. Would definitely come back to try other items!

    My food experience was positive it was awesome to do outside dining in my hood at this establishment. The restaurant is certainly meeting all new covid 19 criteria social distancing and the restaurant was clean and spotless The rest room was clean with paper towels and hand sanitizer to use. My food was yummy starting with arugula salad was made perfectly with the pear and cheese incorporate it in the dish perfectly. I also had a tuna tarte that was made perfectly avocado was placed in the mix tasting lovely. Then my main Course was mussels in where wine sauce my goodness that was to die for yummy for the tummy. I like to take this opportunity to thank the personal at this restaurant for the great service and cleanliness keep healthy and stay safe!!

I chose this place because I had visited a few times in the past and expected a positive environment. While there, I ran into an old friend who was accompanying individuals with special needs. They informed us about the R&B karaoke event, and we attempted to participate respectfully and supportively. Unfortunately, after participating, the DJ became rude and dismissive. My friends decided not to continue because each time they attempted to request a song, the DJ was unkind and impatient, seemingly unaware--or unconcerned--that they were individuals with special needs. The situation escalated when I attempted to calmly address the disrespect. Instead of listening, the bartender repeatedly accused me of being drunk simply because I was defending myself after a rude comment. I was not intoxicated; I was advocating for respectful treatment. Even the DJ's own companion appeared visibly shocked by the comment made toward me, as if anticipating a reaction. I remained composed and professional despite being deeply upset. What disappointed me most was the staff's decision to defend the DJ's behavior rather than acknowledge how inappropriate and disrespectful the interaction was. This reflects poorly on how this establishment treats people--especially those who deserve patience, understanding, and dignity. I came expecting an enjoyable brunch experience and left feeling ashamed for having trusted this place. It is clear that the venue prioritizes protecting mediocre DJs with minimal local popularity over treating customers with basic respect. Poor organization, lack of proper event management, and unprofessional staff behavior made this experience unacceptable. I have visited many establishments and have never felt so disrespected. I will not be returning.

    TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.
