We go there often and it never disappoints. Olivier Bistro is a great place for a group (it is small so call ahead). We always enjoy the meal and the manager and owner are super nice.

Sweet place with a great atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive. Endive salad was superb. Octopus fresh and well presented. ONLY criticism- leave the croutons out of the squash soup- no need.

We live in the neighborhood and were looking for a place to go at the last minute. And as good luck would have it, something was available here for dinner. It is a fixed menu (you get to choose between two main course offerings), with a total of four courses for $75. Very good value for the quality of the food, the ambience and service. We will make this a monthly go to! Highly recommend! And to boot, Executive Chef Marc came out and spoke to his guests!
