Oliver's — Restaurant in Seattle

We have been going to Olivers for years for lunch and have loved it. We had our favorite spot way back in the corner and would spend wonderful times there, cozy and romantic, a beautiful setting and a true lounge feeling. Why the 3 stars then? We have watched the food slowly go down hill. More and more we noticed things like the lettuce not only not being crisp but having wilted rotting pieces. All you could picture is one of those bags of lettuce sitting and rotting with the chef grabbing out of it, not washing it or checking it and just it plopping it in the plate. A potential poisoning for sure! Of course we started by politely telling the waitress, who apologized, but it was the same the next time. So, the last time we were there I took a picture and write the hotel company and SURPRISE no response!!! We have not been back since and, I'm not sure if 15 years as regulars that we wasn't to go back if the company cares so little about its health risk to its customers. I guess they may think because it is a lounge famous for its martini's that enough customers will get pickled and not notice! Very...

Fantastic place for classic cocktails. Sit back and take in the hustle and bustle of the downtown shopping district in comfort. There are always complementary honey-roasted peanuts with your cocktails, and during happy hour they also have a variety of complimentary hot dishes they rotate through during the week: fried mac & cheese, taquitos, chips & salsa, fried vegies, etc.

The traditional eggnog (seasonal) is the best I've had. The Sazerac is made with French absinthe and the best we've tried outside of New Orleans. And the old fashioned - oh my. Real quality here - trust the bartenders. ;) They always have a drink special that they create each day and have stellar skills.

They also serve small plates from the award-winning Andaluca kitchen including really fantastic charcuterie & cheese platter, burger & fries, BLT, and great salads. Can you tell this is one of my...

Had a disappointing experience at Oliver's, which I have been to several times for excellent cocktails in a location convenient to many Seattle attractions. This was the first time I'd ordered food there, and yuck! We had a good, but very buttery/oily, grilled cheese with a delicious tomato soup for dipping. The gross part was they served us a degrading Caesar salad! The romaine was chopped into such tiny pieces they would have needed a spoon to eat and it was pink along all cut edges indicating it was chopped a long time before serving and was going bad. The dressing was also not good (minimal and not creamy anchovy) and there was something dry and powdery (the parmesan?) over the whole thing. The waitress removed it from the bill, so no problem there, it was just such a disappointment at a place attached to the renowned Andaluca - I assumed the food would be at the same...
