Went on a Friday night for 2 with no reservation and got right in which was nice. Server was quick to give us water and take our drink order. Place was busy and has a nice atmosphere. The bread plate is really good . Oysters were good and fresh and wife loved the kale caesar. Wife ordered the al Nero seafood pasta which was way too spicy and the spiciness did not make up for the lack of flavor in the sauce. The two woman sitting next to us could not finish theirs either because it was too spicy. I got the saltimbocca chicken which was also not seasoned well. Marsala sauce on it tasted like pure butter and only the bites with the prosciutto had enough salt. The wilted kale with it was good with the sauce, but I had to ask for some salt and pepper. Tiramisu dessert is worth it. When we got the check, the server double charged us for one of the glasses of wine, but then took it off when I mentioned it. Overall a very mediocre Italian dining experience at a relatively high price point. We're new to the neighborhood so was hoping to find a good quick no reservation option, but there are definitely better places (even across the street) with more complex sauces and an overall better Italian food experience. Still a nice option if you want oysters and good wine and cocktails, and we may have to try out...
Read moreFlat out lies! I have been trying to source caul fat and after calling several local butchers to no avail Oliver's claimed they are a real butcher shop and had plenty of caul fat ready for me to purchase. After driving 45 minutes of rush hour traffic to get to the "real butcher shop" destination of Oliver's they informed me that they did not have any caul fat. Wow! What a joke, a flat out lie and absolutely pathetic manipulation to try to get customers in your shop. In addition to this disappointing situation after looking over their meat counters I would never ever purchase anything from there due to the discoloration of meat products and bad smell in the air. Not to mention the butchers bad attitude after calling them out it was the worst custom service I have ever experienced. Please consider another butcher before going...
Read moreThe joys of meat market in the city are realized at Oliver's Meats in Denver. Serving the Denver since 1923, this business is astounding.
I was very pleased with their service. And the conversation with the owners. I needed succulent meats for a party and Oliver's came through. And, without even knowing it, they slipped me two buffalo steaks for free because I wanted buffalo meat cut into strips to make fajitas but the meat was frozen and unable to be sliced into strips. That's great customer service!
I will forever be a customer at Oliver's Meat & Seafood Market. I am a succulent meat loving person and no better place can be my utopia.
The only drawback is that I want game meats, like deer, and that can't be sold in stores. Bummer.
Go there. You'll be gladder than glad...
