My husband and I had dinner at this charming place prior to going to see the Jimi Hendrix experience today (Nov. 7-2008) and i must say that we were pleasantly surprised when we recieved outstanding food and service from the staff whom were extremely busy. We had thought that we were not going to be able to eat dinner and make it to the show on time upon being seated (based upon past events when we have eaten here and things took a long time to get to us) However, our order was taken promptly and the food was served timely and was absolutely delicious. The gorganzole penne pasta was one of the best pasta dinners i have had in a very long time. Snrimp, Mushrooms, garlic and herbs sauteed in a gorganzole cheese cream sauce tossed with penne pasta. Yummy! This place is high energy being across from the Arlene Schnitzer theater but relaxed and comforting at the same time. Amazing that we walked in at the same time as everyone else dining (all at once i must say) and it seemed to me that we weren't the only customers surprised by the good service we received. I heard many comments of how fast the food came out and how delicious it was. Mixed drinks took a little while to get to us but the staff did an amazing job. Way to go Oliver's! We will be back! Kudos to the staff. Lots of new faces from the last time we were in and it looks like you guys are hitting the mark. Great job.
Pros: Food served prompt and delicious. Great attitude from the wait staff!
Cons: Little slow on mixed drink refills but not too bad
