Oliver’s takes fine dining to the next level. The atmosphere is a perfect blend of high end elegance and modern chic, with music in the background to match the mood. The service is impeccable. Every detail of our dining experience was curated as if for royalty, with a formal and yet engaging and friendly attitude. We were genuinely impressed by the charisma and knowledge of the staff. The food was absolutely fantastic. It was clear with every bite that the chef has a deep passion for his work. This is a place where you can enjoy an exceptional meal, feel like a VIP, and vibe with the contemporary energy. Definitely worth a revisit.

Oakville

About the restaurant

An experience that is unlike any other in the beautiful
town of Oakville. While Goldwyn & Sons may be a
functioning barbershop to many in the area, residents
who are in the know will discover hand-crafted cocktails
made available in this beautiful bar and patio
situated alongside Lake Ontario.

Here, you will find world-class cocktails and zero-proof
drinks that are executed with precision and served
without pretense. Furnished with rich décor, your
bartender will curate incredible tastes from a time when
word-of-mouth was pure gold.

Goldwyn & Sons Bar is truly a hidden gem inside the Bronte
Harbour neighbourhood where cuts and cocktails come
together for an intimate and memorable experience.

About the restaurant

Hello!
My name is Burro. I love chef-inspired tacos, tequila drinks, good music (according to us), vegetarians, bourbon, graffiti, vegans, mood lighting, queso, AND YOU!!

Our kitchen is 100% nut and GLUTEN-FREE, and we are 100% serious about that.

For the "Liquid Diet" sort of crowd. Our bartenders are equally happy to whip you up a hand-crafted creation or a classic cocktail. If you just want a shot of tequila we're into that too.

Okay, that's enough chit-chat. Let's eat.

Very good food, service and ambience but the food serving sizes have decreased and the cost is very high so not the best value for money.

About the restaurant

Barra Fíon Tapas & Barrel opened our doors in July 2015. We at Barra believe that every great beverage deserves to be paired with an equally beautiful culinary experience. Our Spanish and tapas inspired menu is ever evolving, and our focus to maintain a fresh, natural, from-scratch menu is what we believe separates us from the rest. We have a small but ever changing selection of local craft beers and our wines are sourced from all the great wine regions of the world along with many hidden gems.

Barra Fion Tapas & Barrel is an integral part of the Gators Restaurant family, that has been a Burlington tradition since 1994. Being in the food and service industry for over 30 years Gator Ted's Sports Tap & Grill and Savouring the Moment Catering has been consistently delivering friendly service and inspired flavourful dishes.
