** 3.5 star** Decent brunch place - not as touristy as a lot of other places. 2 order of sunny side up eggs with toast and potaoes = $14.00. Breakfast menu is till 11 am, but they continue a smaller/ limited breakfast selection with their lunch menu as well. I had initially ordered the grilled fish tacos. They looked yummy, but one bite and I could have no more. Firstly, the fish tasted deep fried rather than grilled (but the server confirmed this was their version of grilled). the texture of the fish was also off - it was rubbery and dry, super tasteless. However, they did not mind taking it back for me and getting me some eggs instead. They are pet friendly - lots of doggy owners were having brunch here. Service can be a hit or a miss, but all in all I think they did ok..

Absolutely TERRIFIC food. My family members are here the other night, before I got to town, and liked it so much we went back. Very glad we did! Tonight we had: chicken schnitzel; curry shrimp with plantains and jasmine rice; fried tofu; and a large house salad with excellent house dressing. The bread and butter which preceded it were delicious. And another nice thing: they didn't charge us the cost of a cup of tea if we just wanted hot water! (Two other restaurants in Miami Beach wanted to charge us for hot water. One waiter said it's because of the energy they have to expend to heat the water. Crazy.)

I really liked the breakfast but can't wait to come back for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday. I want to try the Dutch apple syrup pancakes and popovers (I believe is the name). This time around came on a Friday and had the Oliver's country skillet which was delicious and extra thick French toast with bananas! I came back for brunch and it was really good but the service was a little slower. I have to say that between Oliver's country skillet and popovers I prefer the country skillet. Also they should have a special for bottomless brunch drinks for a specific charge like Tongue and Cheek has for their brunch.

Great find! Went for brunch....one of the best Eggs Benedict ever. Really cute outside patio. The servers are really nice. Must try this place. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Miami Beach.

We are coming here for the last few months often and I have to say this is one of the best breakfast places in Beach. Today we had egg Benedict's and All American and it was delicious!!! Our server was Joy and she was really nice, maybe the best server here. For sure we are coming back here!!

EVETHING IN THE MENU IS GOOD! I've been in miami for 10 years alredy and I go to this place all the time because the food in this place is delicious. They don't have a full bar, but if you live in miami you need to try they food, very consistent. Love the outside tables!

Love it here. I am from Detroit, but when I am in Miami, I cant wait to go to Oliver's. The menu is so inviting, things you want to eat. Staff is friendly and good looking. Outside is comfy and pretty well covered to make it enjoyable in the Miami heat. Considering I usually stay at Fontainebleau where the prices for water are $8 a bottle, its also reasonable! Cant wait for my next trip back.

Awesome, non-touristy breakfast place! Decent food and decent prices! My friends and I came across this place as we were strolling towards SoBe. It was pretty vacant, so we were able to score outdoor seating. We ordered a round of mimosas and saw that they offered pitchers of sangria, so we asked if they had pitchers of mimosas as well. Unfortunately, our waitress confirmed that they did not offer mimosas by the pitcher, but did suggest that it'd be more cost efficient if we get a cheap bottle of champagne and a side of orange juice instead. Of course we opt for the latter! We also ordered several breakfast items to share: Oliver's Country Skillet, Corned Beef Hash, Extra Thick French Toast, Large Buttermilk Pancakes with Strawberries, and Large Buttermilk Pancakes with Bananas. Everything was fresh and tasty! I particularly liked the pancakes and beef hash. The pancakes were thick and extra fluffy. The beef hash wasn't overly seasoned and tasted great. Service was awesome too!

Great brunch! Great! Meals came out quick and service was pleasant. I had some type of egg puff pastry thing, can't remember the name, but delicious. You should try it!

Amazing breakfast. I have never been disappointed with anything i have ordered here. The blueberry pancakes are spectacular with a slight crispy crust. I think this place has many regulars and gets crowded later on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The outside seating is great for people watching. I have been here twice for dinner and same holds true as breakfast. Everything was delicious!

We came for the brunch in Sunday. We got the French toast with banana, egg white omelette, Dutch Apple pancake, and Oliver's popover. French toast and apple pancake were great, especially if you love sweeter food for brunch. Omelette was one of the best I've had. The popover was pretty good but the bread was a bit dry. Our waitress, mara (I think that was her name) was the best. Super attentive and always kept our water glasses full. She gets 5 stars! We will be back soon!

By far my favorite spot for Brunch in Miami Beach. Food is always amazing, looooooooooove their eggs Benedict and french toasts. Coffee is also very good! Staff is always nice. It gets very crowded so you might have to wait to get a table but it is well worth waiting for!

So friggin delicious. My friends were like, man I want a light, fresh bite, let's go to "insert chain location for a sammie" - me "uhhhhh, let me Yelp this!" Low and behold.... We came upon Oliver's and I ate here twice within 9 days, delicious! They have a nice patio outside so we chose to dine there since it was sunny out and plenty of shade. Our servers each time were lovely and the food hit the spot! The Bruschetta was delicious. Three plentiful pieces with fresh tomato covered, crisp bread. Perfect way to start the meal. The first time I had the house salad with salmon and the fish was cooked to perfection, I finished the entire plate. When I went back I got the house salad again because it was so fresh but saved my salmon request for the a main dish and got the Salmon with warm couscous, wilted spinach, and grape tomatoes over an absolutely delicious citrus aioli. I almost licked the plate clean it was so light, refreshing and filling all at the same time. What a sweet little spot for a great meal.

Really cute place with good food. I got the mahi mahi sandwich and it was cooked perfectly. It came with a remoulade and fries. We also had the calamari and it was also good (only wish more sauce came with it). The menu is great and has a lot of offer. The service was attentive without being overbearing. It is a little far from 'tourist' areas in Miami--so take that however you want to. We saw mainly locals and an older crowd inside. It's quiet and perfect for people who like relaxed brunches.

OK. So I have been to Oliver's several times and have always been fine with it. Last week I went and for the first time ordered a Bloody Mary. I drank it in about 3 seconds. When my horrible waiter came back 30 minutes later I mentioned it tasted like it had little alcohol in it to which his response was, " oh, that is because we don't have a liquor license." So I ordered a $13 Bloody Mary with no liquor and wasn't told about it until after I drank the entire thing. The second thing that bothered me about this experience was that 3 separate time during our meal the waiter asked if he could take our plates while we were in the middle of eating. I live in the neighborhood- I own in the neighborhood- I will find other places to go.

I like this restaurant, not because is an amazing place, but, because if you live in SOBE is one on the only places that serves actual good quality food at a fair price (not a tourist trap at all). Whenever you drive by (morning, noon or night) you'll find it at least 30% - 90% filled with people. I wish there were more places like this in town.

Wesley P.

Food so good that we are here 6 times in 7 days. Try the Cobb salad for lunch - it's great with the cilantro vinaigrette if you are dairy free. The chicken is perfectly grilled and served warm and juicy. The steak frites is amazing - I had it multiple times - among the best steaks I have ever had. The mussels are to die for - seriously they are served with a roasted tomato and garlic sauce with chorizo! The Bronzino is grilled with a crispy skin to tempt even those that don't generally care for seafood and the baked half chicken was so tender with a crisp skin that even my chicken hating wife kept stealing bites off my plate!!! Service is amazing - they even kept replacing my iced tea so that it didn't get too watered down as the ice melted. Prices are more than reasonable for south beach and the food is way better than more expensive places a few blocks over on Washington avenue. Highly recommended.

I was looking for a spot to do a girls' Sunday brunch and was recommended this place. When I tried to make a reservation, I was told you can't make reservations but that they would put a note that I needed a table for 5. Not only did I receive an email response from the owner himself (I submitted a request on their website), when I got to the restaurant they did indeed have my name on a list and set us up with a nice table inside very quickly. Josh at the door was wonderful. Also, our service from Natasha was top notch. Now for the food. Everyone was pleased with their order. I enjoyed the eggs benedict (go with the country sausage!!) and the home fries are great. Also loved the bellini. My friend said the steak and eggs were great. I will definitely be going back to try the popover with eggs inside...it looked amazing! Wish more restaurants on the beach had service like this. I highly recommend Oliver's for Sunday brunch in South Beach.

I hadn't been here in years, and I was frankly surprised they were still there. Not because of the food or the service; it's just rare for a restaurant to be so long-lived in Miami Beach. I came for lunch on Sunday with a friend. We were seated at an outdoor table after a short wait (the place was packed) and were promptly brought our drinks (water and iced tea). The menu is extensive, but we settled on salads. I had the Greek salad with grilled calamari and my friend had the Oliver's salad with salmon. Both salads were enormous. My Greek salad was dressed perfectly with a tangy, crisp dressing. The salad contained tons of feta and black olives and the calamari was tender and still warm. Perfection! My friend's salad came with a nice sized grilled salmon filet and she must have enjoyed it because her plate was as empty as mine after the meal! I liked that they didn't rush us when we were finished eating - we had plenty of time to finish our conversation before they picked up the check. One negative... my friend asked for additional dressing, cilantro and avocado on her salad and was charged $2.50 for each additional item. Now, I understand that providing those items costs the restaurant extra but the cost seemed a bit excessive. No matter, I will be looking forward to a return visit to sample more of the wonderful menu items!

Came here to try Oliver's popover after seeing many pictures here on yelp, it was four of us determined to order a pop over the waitress came we ordered coffees and pop overs she kindly shut us down and let us know they weren't serving them today :( we all ended up getting omlettes and toast and coffee the waitress was very nice the food was great wish we could've had the popovers but ehhh maybe next time omelettes did hit the spot and they have a nice little set up outside overall I would recommend this place to everyone it was definitely the best breakfast I had within the two weeks I spent in Miami will be coming back next time I'm in Miami plus it's not on ocean drive so you don't gotta worry about the 50$ tip being added onto your bill

Meggie C.

This place we came due to all the reviews on yelp. It was okayyyy nothing spectacular. I ordered the omelette and my boyfriend ordered the breakfast platter. I felt like they were a little over priced. They charged a lot for toppings on an omelette that other places I've been either included or at least have u a better selection of omelettes to choose from. All in all its a decent place to dine at. Outside u can eat and watch the scenery Around

I don't know why it took me so long to try Oliver's but I'm happy I made moves to check it out today. Parking seemed like it would be a nightmare but we were able to snag a prime spot on the same block. When we arrived it was somewhat busy but luckily there were some open tables outside so we chose to sit in a corner close to the sidewalk (all outside tables offer some degree of shade which is a plus in my book). From beginning to end, the service was PERFECT. Michael was our server and he is your definitive waiter when it comes to optimal service. He knew when to approach the table and how often, our water glasses were never empty and every time he spoke to us he had a genuine smile on his face. The menu had a decent variety of salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, etc. and I opted for the blackened mahi mahi sandwich with sweet potato fries. The food came out in a timely fashion and it was very good. All the flavors were clean and simple which is exactly what I look for when having lunch on a work day. I don't want some sloppy mess that is going to put me in a food coma when I have another 5 hours of work to put in (I like to save my sloppy messes for happy hour). All in all, it was a nice experience and I look forward to trying their breakfast.

I have been coming to Olivers since I moved to West ave 7 years ago. It has been consistent for that long!!! Radical Changes in my diet were accommodated and thats why I love Olivers. I get spaghetti primavera in red sauce.. OMG - SO GOOD!!! Most of all I love the staff.. A big warm greeting makes you feel like home. Food is simple but Delish. Even the most boring house salad is just nice fresh and crunchy!!! Love it! Wine selection is good. If your waistline can afford a dessert - get a tiramisu! Ahhhh.. So good!!
(5)
Ethan Y.

the place is not expensive and offers the usual that you would expect. I guess it is better for breakfast food. Drinks were okay and the swordfish was just okay.. nothing bad but nothing too special either. we had a couple of drinks first but the waitress was a little pushy on getting us to order more drinks. i realized that we were waiting for another friend for 30 minutes but coming back three times is a little annoying..

Cemone K.

Came here based on reviews and it did not disappoint! We were hungry after we got off our cruise and wanted to walk around South Beach before driving back to Orlando (we were tourists from CA). I love french toast and this place has some delicious toast! I got mine with slices of bananas, perfect complement. Fiance got the corned beef hash. You can't really screw up this dish but I admit it was some of the best I have had! Service was fast and friendly, but I think there was only one other couple at the restaurant. Not sure if it was just because it was a weekday but it was very slow. If I am ever back in Miami and am craving french toast, I'll be back!

We were here in 2013 Had the fish tacos, but the fish was overcooked, meaning we had to request more sauce to make them tasty. My wife have up though after the second taco and returned the food. Disappointing.

Great food, good service and the atmosphere is on point. The place is always packed and clean. The food is fresh and flavorful. Service is good so don't let up on the guest service. It would get 5 stars with just a little more relaxed staff. I know it is never easy. Kudos to them.

Miss B.

4 for corn beef hash, 3 for drinks, popovers, omelets. 3 or less for parking. Its small n gets super crowded so be prepared to wait. Service is barely average. Drinks r watered down. Side potatoes with breakfast were mostly undercooked. Not in a rush to come back. Prices don't match quality.

Consistently good food. Nice ambience too. Unlike other places on SoBe, cuisine over scene everyday at Oliver's.

Leilani C.

Food was good, not great. Nothing memorable or anything to rave about. It was 11AM and I asked if we could still get breakfast (not exclusive to the late breakfast small selection) and they said no. Okay, fine no big deal ill get a sandwich. A girl and her friend come in right after and demanded French toast and got them in a snap. I guess I wasn't aggressive enough.

Jessica L.

Delicious Italian food a block from Mondrian Hotel. Very friendly and professional staff. Pasta served al dente to perfection. Great ambiance. Shrimp scampi is amazing. Have had it twice this week. Also excellent bruschetta serving size large enough for a light meal. Hummus is a great appetizer. Spaghetti and meatballs like Grammy makes.

Oliver's is an amazing place. Anyone who is on South Beach must go here for lunch or dinner. I have had the opportunity to eat here many times and I have always enjoyed the quality food. No matter what you order I am sure you will enjoy.

Great food, but your customer service needs some attention. My husband and I live right down the street and eat here at least once a month. We bring all of our out of town guests here as well. Unfortunately, the experience is usually ruined by all of the smokers out on the patio. It's almost 2015, this policy should be reviewed. Paying customers who would like the enjoy the food outdoors shouldn't have to deal with other customer's poor health decisions (smoking).

I've been here numerous times through the years. Being new to yelp this is my first review. I love this place. The food is delicious and always good. Their Blackened Mahi is one of my favorites. The NY Strip with fries is another dish I often order. The service is always good. If you go often they recognize you and make you feel like family. One time we were seated outside and about to get our dinner when a summer windy rain started pouring, the waitress graciously placed us on an inside table. I will keep going, great neighborhood restaurant.

Really liked breakfast on sunny day of December 31st after a long flight to Miami. I just ordered an omelet, and it was what I expected it to me, no more no less. The audience is good looking, place is nice and trendy, prices are reasonable, it's a little bit loud though.

I go to South Beach every year for a month or two. The food here is amazing. Finally discovered it. The chicken Marsala and Chicken Schnnizel were both fantastic. Went for Valentine's day and had the Duck special which was terrific. I took several of my friends and will be back!!

I haven't had french toast this amazing in a long time! This brunch place definitely serves one of the finest, and that's so hard to come by (we randomly found this on Yelp during our 3 hr stop at Miami). I ordered the Extra Thick French Toast with seasonal fruits. I believe it was $9.95. When it came, the plate was drizzled with a touch of condensed milk, strawberry, caramel, and chocolate syrup. Maple syrup served on the side. Fresh fruits topped the nicely stacked toast. The french toast was just as described on the menu - extra thick slices! Every bite was absolutely delicious. The sweetness from the syrup and fruits was not overpowering and I could still taste the texture of the french toast. Service was also friendly. I'm a fan!

Awesome spot on SOBE!! Went for brunch on Saturday. Nice outside seating. Good service. Great specialty plate with fried chicken jalapeÃ±o biscuit gravy and eggs. Jesus it was awesomeness. Everything I was craving for brunch. We had a nice bottle of prosecco from Sonoma county. The Dutch Apple pancakes were so good but really rich and too much for one person to eat alone. The turkey wrap with bacon was also good. Overall a great spot.

I have been coming here for a couple of years and it is always enjoyable. I love the calamari salad, my wife always wants to head over for brunch and get their awesome apple pancakes, which I always do so that I can get a big stuffed popover. The staff are super too.

I always have good experiences at Oliver's but personally I think it's good for brunch and overpriced for dinner. Try the stuffed pancake, it's awesome.

My girlfriends and I arrived in South Beach exhausted, bleary eyed, and extremely hungry. We found salvation in the form of breakfast at Oliver's! This also happened to be the first taste of Miami food for us so that was exciting. We arrived promptly when they opened and were the first customers of the day. I ordered the 3 eggs omelette with spinach, mushroom, cheddar cheese, and sausage. The 3 eggs omelette is $9.95 but you get only 2 ingredients in your omelette; additional items are $1.95 EACH which I found totally absurd. However, my stomach overcame my rationality and so I ordered 2 more ingredients. I also wanted an egg white omelette but that too would be an additional $2, which I could not justify at all. The omelette was fresh and delicious but I couldn't get over the fact that a few leaves of spinach and some cheese added so much to my bill. Friends ordered the eggs benedict and said they really enjoyed it. Customer service was very attentive too. However, the overcharging for extra ingredients sort of took away the joy of eating the yummy omelette.

The Dutch apple pancake is not a typical pancake. It was very thick and had a hard top. It looks very similar to a funnel cake. I am not a fan. The american coffee was terrible. The others ordered the eggs Benedict and omelet... Both were much better than the pancake I ordered.

Meh. That sums up my experience here. It was not bad, but it was also definitely not good. I ordered the Oliver's Popovers, which was a bread stuffed with a sausage and egg scramble. The sausage itself was okay but the bread (not sure what kind it was) did not go well with the scramble. I also tried a bite of the corned beef hash and an omelet. Again, nothing particularly impressive. I will say the pancakes and waffles looked good, so maybe those are better.

Just moved to the area and was hoping this could be a regular spot. But the food was okay. I think what made the food seem just okay was the unpleasant waiter. Staff seemed stiff and dry. This is a shame because for such pretty and fancy decor you would expect the wait staff to serve with gusto or even a little smile every now and then. I always get annoyed when I can taste similar food at a more discounted price elsewhere- and with slightly bigger portions. That's what happened recently. Gnocchi was plentiful at a near by establishment and tasted better than Oliver's for a fraction of the price.

Came here for brunch on our last day in Miami and I'm definitely coming back here the next time I'm in Miami. We ordered the blackened fish tacos, dutch apple pancake and the chicken salad to share. The blackened fish tacos were delicious - love how the radish is shredded and the fish cooked perfectly. The dutch apple pancake was really good with a nice golden crust on the top - like eating apple pie! Chicken salad was ok - the chicken was dry, the cilantro lime vinaigrette was decent. Service was attentive.

Great place with lounge music. Fast service, nice people and amazing food! We ordered bruschettas, shrimp risotto with asparagus and spaghetti carbonara. All very delicious and with large portions (lots of shrimps!!). Also, great value for food.

I absolutely love Oliver's. I was staying at the Mondrian and since they have only one restaurant with a pretty small menu, I went to Oliver's a lot. Portion sizes are good, prices are very reasonable. It is in a nice location on West avenue away from all the tourist hub-bub. They have outdoor seating so you can sort of people watch and feel some fresh air while you dine. The servers are nice and knowledgeable and help each other out. Service was always fast and efficient. Definitely one of my favorites on the beach!

Chevonne W.

I like that there is outdoor seating and the food is pretty good. I've been here a few times but never wrote a review but today I will. The service isn't the greatest. Something we all have to get used to in Miami Beach. I've traveled many places and never have a problem for the most part with service, but most places I go in Miami Beach, you would be lucky to get a refill on your water without asking or if you keel over in your chair choking. It's weird because with so many people needing work, you would think waitstaff would be appreciative of having a job. I guess since gratuity is included in most checks, giving less service still means they get paid.

Veronica C.

I'm totally a fan. I can't give it 5 stars YET, but from what I have tasted, I have only had good experiences. I have had excellent salads there for both brunch and dinner....the house wine was OK, but I think it's a matter of preference. :-) So don't take my word for it. Try the Burrata Mozzarella appetizer...Simple, Fresh and Delicious....

3.5 I've been here more than once but I suppose that has more to do with proximity and a lack of options rather than a deep-seated desire to return over and over again. For what it is and where it is, Oliver's is decent enough if you abide by a few rules. Actually, there's only one. One rule. Get the Dutch Apple pancake. That's it. That's the rule. You might opt for a mimosa. You may want a cup of coffee. In case you're sitting outside and it's hot, a tall glass of water is never a bad idea. But, as far as eating at Oliver's, there's one rule: get the Dutch Apple pancake. The pancake is absolutely huge. I have a big appetite and I struggle to get through it. The caramelized ends provide a satisfying crunch while the generous amount of apples provide just enough sweet to take you to the edge. The ratio of fruit to cake is just right so that you're full by the time you're finished but you fill as though you've eaten something other than syrupy fruit. Inherent in this rule are other rules. Order the pancake (so, you're likely coming here for brunch and not another meal). Order the pancake (odds are your endorphins will be so high from the sugary fruity goodness that your eye muscles won't get a workout from rolling due to the spotty service; both times I came here, my table received wrong orders, long wait times and some sort of physical snafu -- spilled water or a tripped waiter). Order the pancake (and only the pancake so you don't waste time with the criminally bland eggs and potatoes -- in any permutation. I've had both the make-it-yourself omelet and scrambled eggs & home fries; awful. If you can't make eggs, you shouldn't be in a kitchen). Order the pancake (and stick with that. This is the beach and prices are higher than they should be. If you go on a brunch spending spree, your wallet and gut will not be happy with you). So... order the pancake.

Brunch was disappointing, at first I thought that perhaps we had just gotten unlucky with extremely poor service, however once the food came out it was equally as disappointing. All three of our brunch entrees were over done, the poached eggs being more akin to hard boiled eggs and the popover was overdone and very dry. The one upside of this experience is that the extremely poor service gave me time to write a review and warn other Yelpers about the downfall of this previously delicious South Beach brunch spot.

My wife and I came in based on the pictures posted. Looked good so we came, we ate, we conquered. I had the popovers and those were on point. My wife had the eggs Benedict and she was pleased. The service was excellent, waiter very courteous. The food came out really fast. I was very pleased with my overall experience.

We had the American breakfast and Belgian waffles, it's a good place to socialize and goto breakfast. I should probably try the French toast...

This place is always a great experience to come to. The service never disappoints me. I love their food, my favorite is the country style pasta with sausage. I love their meats and calamari and bruschetta. The last time I went I ordered a chicken plate I had never had, I told the waitress I didn't like the sauce at all. He gladly changed it for the pasta which never disappoints me. I guess sometime it's better to stick to your top main dishes.. Hehe. The atmosphere is always great, relaxing or romantic.

My boyfriend and I made it a habit to try calamari wherever we go and keep a running list and Oliver's Grilled Calamari put them all to shame. If that want enough, the manager came over and explained how it was cooked and seasoned. The aioli sauce that accompanies it is divine. I then ordered the extra thick French toast and was met with the royalty that is that dish. It's a must have. The boyfriend had a pop over which did not disappoint. Overall this place gave a lovely vibe, had friendly staff an if we didn't live in Tampa I would be tempted to try everything on the menu.

Lindsay P.

I always order the same things at Oliver's but I love it... salad with fried goat cheese, french onion soup, the brunch brioche with scrambled eggs. This is a local's spot in Miami Beach with a menu offering anything you're in the mood for. Always a win.

I met up with Miami's own (formerly Chicago) Johnny T at this place while I was down @ South Beach as he said we should do brunch here. I made it there before him and I noticed there was a bit of a wait on Easter Sunday of course. I walked up to the waiter to ask if I could be put on the list and he told me I would move right to the front of the list if I gave him my Michael Kors watch. Strange! He even forgot to put my name down in the midst of his jokes about how he envied my watch. I had to catch him again to remind him to jot my name down. Johnny made it over and the waiter came back and told us if we wanted to eat inside then we would be seated immediately, but if we wanted outdoor seating it would still be a little wait. We chose inside of course. Once seated, a waitress came over and told us they would be with us momentarily which ended up being 10 minutes. We stated out with drinks once our waitress showed up and I got the peach bellini while he got the mimosa. The bellini was good, but I wound up going with 2 more mimosas afterwards. I was hungry as I hadn't eaten all day and it was past 1PM at this point and I was feeing quite eggy so I went with the create your own omelet. I added roasted red peppers, spinach, feta cheese and mushrooms to it with egg whites. It came with a side of delicious potatoes. The meal definitely made up for the spotty service we received and to the waitresses' credit she got better as we ordered more mimosas. Definitely a good clean brunch spot to hit up away from the crazy Ocean Drive, Collins Ave & Washington Ave scene on South Beach. Would try again in hopes the service has improved

Oliver's is a gem and always provides excellent food with attentive, friendly service. They really know how to cook. And their prices are surprisingly moderate. We had another good meal tonight and look forward to going back.

The food was pretty good, as was the service...although this isn't a place that I'd think of going to during my next trip to Miami. The location just isn't great for vacationers; I'd rather be on south beach.

I've never been truly blown away by Oliver's brunch, but it has recently worked its way into my regular rotation. Prices are fair, it's only a few blocks from my humble abode, and the brunch selection is pretty tasty. The popovers, stuffed with scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese, are huge! I'm a big fan of popovers, but stuff 'em with delicious breakfast food, and you really have a unique dish. I've heard they sell out of these on the regular, so if you're heart's set on this dish, make sure you get there relatively early (this is South Beach, after all). Other faves of my regular brunchin' crew are the American breakfast, which includes your usual eggs, breakfast meat & potatoes, and the omelettes, which always look really tasty (but tend to be a little dry). The pancakes are pretty spectacular, and might actually be my new favorite. Made with your choice of fruit or chocolate chips, this come out piping hot with crispy edges and fluffy insides. In other words - the perfect pancake. You'd be remiss not to give 'em a shot. The blackened mahi sandwich from their lunch menu is pretty great, though a little messy to eat. Service can be spotty. Sometimes it's great, sometimes your server will disappear for what seems like an eternity right when you need something. Prices are on par for the brunch scene - expect roughly $10 a person for food only, upwards of $20/per if you're planning on mimosa-ing with your brunch ($9 a pop). Parking in this neighborhood is a chore, so walk or DecoBike your way over!

I ended up at Oliver's Saturday night last minute because Macchialina down the street was closed for renovations. I had heard they had a excellent brunch, so I figured it was worth a shot checking them out for dinner. It was a terrible mistake. The menu is this strange compilation of foods that do not follow any sort of structure. I had assumed it was an Italian place when I first sat down, but the menu ranged from pasta dishes, to texas rodeo burgers, to churrasco, to escargot, to quesadillas. I asked the waitress for recommendations and she basically told me she really hasn't had much from the menu, but that everything was good, which was completely unhelpful. I chose to stuck with the Italian appetizers of bruschetta, burrata, and lobster ravioli all of which were average at best. Unfortunately my experience has likely turned me off of coming back again, but I feel like this may be a brunch specialist place. However, I will not be returning for dinner. They lack an identity for dinner and the unhelpful wait staff make it impossible to make any good decision. I can't speak for brunch, but avoid for dinner.

After a very long, fun night out (or should I say morning already), I dragged myself out of "bed" to go to Brunch. That's one of the reasons I stayed in Miami this weekend so I was not going to let sleep get in the way of meeting Maria and friends @ Oliver's. I'm so glad I set up my alarm... The day was perfect, sunny, breeze, a day to be outside and happy. We arrived there around noon. Found our table and the waitress was immediately taking our drinks order. Now by drinks, don't get confused - no full bar here, only wines and champagne. So water it was for me. We started with the Smoked Salmon & Bagel Platter - it was delicious. Enough for the whole party and not spoil your appetite. We all ordered different things. The Dutch Apple Pancakes looked really good and really big, so did the Stuffed Banana French Toasts, but I decided to go with the Create Your Own 3 Egg Omelette, which I shared with my cousin. We decided to have the omelet with apple wood smoked bacon, mushrooms and brie - this comes with home fries potatoes. This is a very generous portion - we were so glad we decided to share, it was the perfect amount for each. Love that this place has both inside and outside seating. Outside tables have umbrellas for shade - perfect for the summer so you can enjoy the beautiful days but not melt out in the sun.

If you swear by the theory that Beach brunch will break the bank then I'm about to share some groundbreaking advice. Oliver's has IHOP prices ($8+) but Lincoln Road charm. So the next time you've got family in from out of town, a friend's hangover-recovery date or a perfect-weather Sunday, make your way over to Oliver's and order their French Toast. Phenomenal. And that's just one option in a sea of great choices. Service was quick and friendly! We waited a total of 10 minutes before our mountain of food arrived--that's another thing: portions are huge! Even better? Take advantage of their covered outdoor seating: cheerful orange umbrellas and a dense wall of shrubbery, a happy garden-feel to go along with a delicious menu.

Disappointing and quite honestly a time waste.. The place is in a good location which makes it a great brunch spot for the weekend. The outdoor seating is also quite nice. However the service is terrible and totally takes away from the experience. One we first arrived it to almost 45 minutes for the waitress to ask for our orders. Finally our food arrived and it was average at best..I got the create your own omelet, with ham and red peppers and she then added mushrooms which I did not ask for..my friend got the eggs Benedict which looked average, and my boyfriend got the scramble and Dutch apple pancake..all sub par and not worth the wait. Finally for dessert my friend ordered the molten chocolate cake, the waitress brought over a chocolate mousse once again not what we asked for. Thanks. Finally 45 min later she asked us about our check we mentioned we wanted separate checks. 45 min later she came back with every item on the checks wrong.. After waiting another 20 min she finally took our cards, we told her the corrections on the checks yet when she returned for our signatures she still kept the incorrect and items and charged us for them. We all had places to be and this lack of efficiency kept us there for much longer than anticipated. My friend nearly didn't make it to the autos hop to pick up her car. Ultimately we found ourselves paying just to get out if there. The food is average the service is terrible, save yourself the waste.

No wiggle room on menu which was a little strange because you would think they could make some dishes vegetarian. I'm not really a fan of places that don't accommodate patrons which is why i'm giving Oliver's 3 stars. The brunch (eggs and french toast) we did order was good and service was good too. Nothing to rave about though.

Food is pretty good. Corned beef hash is the purÃ©ed form unlike the potatoes and chunks of corned beef I usually like. Eggs Benedict are great as well. Usually I'd give 4 stars but their service was absolutely great. We came with a baby and we have very meticulous standards on feeding him and they helped with all the odd requests for preparing food for him with no fuss at all. I was very impressed. Highly recommended.

I've been coming to Oliver's for about 6 years now; it's one of my favorites restaurants. The food has always been outstanding, always fresh, always consistent. My favorites are the Hummus appetizer, the House salad, the Arugula with Zucchini Carpaccio, the Branzino, I like their tacos as well, the tortilla soup. Oh and they don't always have it, but when they do... the potato soup is to die for! I also have to mention that their bread with the whipped cream cheese is ridiculous! Their service... most of the time is good. If I had to say anything bad about Oliver's... I would say that when there are smokers sitting around you, the smoke stays in the air for a long time because the outside area is somewhat enclosed with the awnings. They should divide it to two areas; that way people that don't smoke can enjoy their meal without a Marlboro cloud over them.

With partner in crime n family. Great place for breakfast n brunch. I enjoy sitting outside. Came for brunch today (sunday) for brunch.

Oliver's was a great spot for Brunch. I ordered a caesar salad with chicken. Next time ill try there egg white omelet. I did try there potatoes though and they were very good. Service was fast and nice. The only thing i didn't like was that parking was a headache. Besides that i had a great time and will go back to try there omelets.

I just wanted to go to an area in South Beach that served food that I could eat. After many failed attempts, I found Oliver's. Simply put, Oliver's is wonderful.

This review is so unequivocally positive and gushing that I am almost embarrassed to submit it. My hairdresser, Steven, works at the Rosanno Feretti salon right next to Oliver's. Every year, he begins at the top of Oliver's menu, and every time he goes in, orders the next dish, sequentially. At any other place this would be absurd, but at Oliver's, everything is that damned good, that it somehow works. While some dishes are better than others, this eclectic menu has never disappointed me. From the brunch pancakes (which really taste more like "cakes") to perfectly al dente spaghetti with olive oil, to crispy, well-flavored fried chicken or Madras-style chicken curry, there are no misses. I live right down the street and eat there two or three times a week. Every time I go to the newest Miami culinary hot spot, I find myself comparing the place to Oliver's, with the new place always coming up on the losing end. The staff is particularly friendly to regulars, which is fine with me, as this is most definitely a local place, which is way off the radar of most tourists. In summary, as long as Oliver's stays put, I won't even consider moving from my condo. I wish they had a full liquor license (only wines for now) but its a small sacrifice, given all the positives.

I've been to Oliver's a couple of times for breakfast/brunch. They're always packed and for a good reason - the food is absolutely delicious. Every dish I've had there was rich, light, and tasty. I sat at the bar today and my bartender was such a doll. Very friendly and attentive. The staff had great teamwork. When I dropped my fork, a server was right behind me with a new one. When I finished my food, another server bussed it from my spot immediately. My only complaint (and reason this is not 5 stars) is about the manager or owner that was duty today. He was extremely rude in his dealings with his employees and even myself, a customer. He didn't appear to interact with his employees in a positive manner and was on the phone most of the time. When I put my extra pair on shoes on the bar in order to pick up the fork that I dropped, I forgot that I had placed them there and he stormed over and told me "You can't do that. Get your shoes off the bar there's other customers who eat here". That is NOT the way one addresses a patron. If he asked nicely, I might have not been left with such a bad impression. Regardless of this unprofessional manager, I plan on visiting Oliver's again.

I ate there last night, it was fabulous. We sat outside. My husband and I got the steak with chimichuri sauce and Cesar salad. My sister got the seafood pasta special. It was delicious, all of it.

My husband is still talking about how good his steak was.

Great local spot. Have been there several times and the food is fresh and delicious. I love their calamari! Very good about drink refills, which is always a plus in my book. Outdoor and indoor eating...both are beautiful. The only negative thing is some of their waitresses are unfriendly and have attitudes. The owner is always friendly and one of the male waiters is great (i forget his name..maybe Michael?), but some of the waitresses really just aren't nice.

Dr. Jared R.

What's not to like at Oliver's. They do everything right everytime. The menu is large and the service is prompt. Perfect for brunch, lunch, dindin, and everything in between! The setting is beautiful West Avenue, where the weather, people, and food come as one. Did that make any sense? YeS! I hear great things about the french toast, but just couldnt pull the trigger on something i can make in 3 mins at home. I went with the chicken quesadilla instead (something i could make in 33 mins). But anything you get here will bring you to your knees and beg for more. You go Oliver! Go on with your bad selfie..

Great place down the street from the Mondrian! We held a group lunch for 35+ people here in July and had a great experience. We had bruscetta and hummus set out on the tables when the guests arrived and then we chose from 3 options for lunch. The service was extremely efficient considering the group size, the restaurant was very nice and the food was delicious!

Good dinner, extensive menu and good portions. Service is polite and fast. They offer a delicious light chives & cream cheese spread with crusty fresh bread. For dinner we ordered the Ahi tuna nicoise salad with lemony dressing, blackened fish tacos and a side of sweet potato fries. The nicoise salad was very good, good portion of perfectly cooked tuna (still pink inside), halves of mini tomatoes, anchovies, fresh crunchy green beans, a hard boiled egg, a potato, marinated red peppers and black olives. Very fresh and very tasty! The blackened fish tacos (x3) are served on a pedestal so they don't crash and actually stay together. Nice presentation and very good taste with good cabbage. The sweet potato fries might be the best i've had (favorite so far are the ones at City Hall). Thick cut, not greasy, long and perfectly fried. Big hit. Good portion too, we even took some home! No dessert this time but strongly hesitate for the cheesecake ! Will try next time! Will go back soon so try other items on their menu!

I'm surprised I had never stopped here for brunch. Great little, busy spot on west ave. had a hearty breakfast after ordering the popover, a pastry filled with eggs, cheese and sausage. I was expecting the pastry to be of the flaky sort. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. I would've preferred a croissant. The meal was great overall though and the staff was very attentive.

I really dig Olivers, which was unexpected. I'm not sure why I would always pass it by. It's a couple blocks from my house, but I never go in. A friend came to visit, so I took the opportunity to go. We like it! The varied menu is awesome and works for picky types like myself. I had a great salad, and the following week had an awesome omelet at brunch. It has more of a laid back and chill vibe than I would have guessed. I'm digging it. Check it out.

Food was excellent but service stunk. Pricey but it is South Beach. There are few American eateries around here, this one is hip, indoor and outdoor seating. TIP: If you sit inside, you will need a sweater (freezing) and ear plugs.(Real loud) No parking, but there is a public parking building just down the same block.

Great Corner location, Great Atmosphere, The service was excellent, the server was knowledgable on the entire menu and wine list. The calamari Appetizer was just ok! The burrata was excellent. The Carbonara was the best I've ever had in a restaurant and closest to the original method of making it in italy. The Hanger steak was seasoned perfectly. I had a great time meeting friends from NJ and unexpected event! Looking forward to my next visit!

Best breakfast / brunch in south beach Miami. Try the popover is unforgettable. The French toast are deliciously generous in size and taste. Away from the craziness of Ocean drive on a Sunday morning seating on the terrace in front. Mixed crowd of locals and well informed tourist relaxing with an excellent and well priced meal. Do not change a thing !

Found this on Yelp and decided try. Lived up to my expectations. It was fairly busy but the food came out quickly. Had the eggs Benedict with sausage... Delicious! Tried my boyfriends pancakes with strawberries....Even better than my eggs Benedict. Would definitely recommend if you want something fast and reasonably priced. Only downside: no bottomless mimosas :(

The eggs benedict was delicious. The Apple strudel was amazing. Surprisingly, the espresso wasn't that strong. The service was awesome. Definitely recommend this place for breakfast.

I really like Oliver's. It's where us locals go to get great food, fantastic service, and get away from the touristy eateries. The food is consistently delicious. The wait staff is uber friendly and professional. Whether you're hungry for brunch, lunch or dinner, Oliver's is ideal! The menu is extensive, with a variety of choices. There's inside and outside seating - outside is best. TIP: Save room for dessert and order the Oreo Cookie Ice Cream cake. IT IS SO DAMNED GOOD!!!!!

Oliver's reminds me of a cute little NYC-esque brunch place in the middle of SoBe! My friends and I arrived around 1 on a Saturday and I expected a wait but there wasn't any at all. There is a good amount of outside seating which we would have taken up if it weren't drizzling but I guess some of Miami's finest don't mind a little rain since the outdoor seating was pretty full ;) They have the usual suspects for brunch - i.e., lots of egg dishes--but also serve a full on lunch menu. My friend had the 3-egg white omelet with ham, mushrooms, and cheese ($11.95) and I had the Soy Glazed Seared Salmon open sandwich ($13.50) as well as a cafÃ© con leche. The cafÃ© con leche was pretty sizable and was about $3-4. The sandwich contained a huge chunk of delicious salmon - definitely filling. The omelet was large as well so my friend could barely finish her food. They charge $1 to substitute fries for salad which I never understand - can someone explain this to me? My third (alchie) friend had 2 glasses of Mimosa's at $7/glass which I thought was pretty normal. Lastly, service was polite but not over friendly so at times the waiter seemed a bit curt which was a little unexpected but tolerable.

Update for dinner: The food was definitely superior. The service and setting were terrific. I ate a small house salad that was carefully prepared, including a unique dressing to the restaurant, and a chicken schnitzel, which I don't see too often, accompanied by a bavarian (not creamy) potato salad. It was excellent. I spent $30 with tip, no alcohol. Props to Marianna for great service at prior brunches.

Oliver's proved to be a great find one Saturday morning. I was looking for brunch and Oliver was just the answer. The place was packed from the moment we arrived. Despite this, we were quickly seated at our table. Service was a little slow, but the food came out very quickly. I definitely recommend any of the fresh menu items they have to offer. I had the ahi tuna sandwich; the pickled ginger made it unique. Check the place out. It's definitely a winner in my book.

I went for brunch today ordered a coffee, and an orange juice. The waitress lost balance and the entire glass of OJ went on my dress, purse, and shoes. Also some splashed on the guy next to me. I was soaked and not even an apology. I had to get up and leave. You would think the owner standing 6 feet from me would come over and apologize. Nope just sat there and starred at me. Probably thought I was some tourist only should he know I am a local. So I went up to him and told him it was bad business for him to not even acknowldge everything of mine being ruined. I will NEVER go back and give them business. Anyhow, this place has gone downhill over the last few years, and prices have sky rocketed $15 for a chicken cesar salad.

I'm pretty surprised to see such stellar reviews for Oliver's. It's not that my group had a bad experience, but it was nothing amazing. I had some friends in town last week and this restaurant was within walking distance of their rental condo. I loved that the menu was HUGE so everyone could get what they wanted. In fact, I couldn't believe how many different cuisine showed up on the same page. After ordering cocktails, we decided we had to try the Corned Beef & Cabbage Spring Rolls. It was an interesting concept, but they were nothing special. I ordered the Grilled Salmon as my main course and it really had the potential to be great. The salmon was delicious, if a bit salty, and I enjoyed the spinach, grape tomatoes and Israeli couscous that came with it. However, the entire dish was sitting on what they called a "citrus aioli", which was more like a lemon-flavored mayonnaise. It was so salty and overpowered the entire dish. Maybe I was just the odd woman out here - my friends seemed to enjoy all of their food as did my husband who ordered the Greek Salad with Grilled Calamari, but I didn't think it was that spectacular. Also, the service is kind of uneven so watch out for that.

Best brunch joint in south beach. It was sooooooooo sweet that they brought my puppy a doggy bowl with lemon in his water. The eggs Benedict was quite memorable as well as their chicken Marsala. I frequent this place all the time and I don't know why this is the first time I've yelped about it but it won't be my last.

Marcos R.

Moderately priced elegant restaurant with lots of outdoor seating. The interior is mostly a cool white. Perfect spot for brunch or dinner. A local's favorite just down the street from Dewey's or Wild Oats. Good wine selection and delicious seafood salads. You may even catch a local celeb or two eating incognito, no joke. A friend of a friend of mine works there, Chad. Not an endorsement, turst me they don't need the advertisement. But if you if you get the chance, give him a hard time on my behalf ; )

I came here twice for their eggs Benedict breakfast. It was AWESOME!!! I love eggs Benedict and not too many restaurants know how to make it. I like the fact that they sub'd the Canadian bacon for regular bacon for me and the price was reasonable. The service was also good. Restaurant is located on a corner (away from the main strip Ocean Drive) and they plenty of outdoor seating. However, I ordered my breakfast (both times) to go.

I was there with friends for a late dinner on a Sat. night (9p), and did not have to wait at all for a table which is a minor miracle on South Beach. I had the Branzino which is my favorite fish. It was cooked to perfection -moist, flaky meat with a crispy skin.and served over a bed of spinach. The decor is lovely and it is NOT an over-priced tourist trap. Oliver's is a lovely, neighborhood restaurant that should not be missed. I highly recommend it.

A very good neighbourhood restaurant. I confess, I generally don't like eating in South Beach due to the proliferation of beggars, homeless people and others who bring Miami down to the ranks of Rio and Mumbai. However the food and hospitality here is good. Pros: 1) Nice broadly ranging menu. They have nice burgers, a variety of egg dishes, fishes, sandwiches, comfort foods, salads, there is something for everyone and you won't get bored. 2) Some standout dishes. I really like the Apple pancakes. I also like the blackened mahi sandwich. The breakfast turnover is quite an impressive and unique dish if you are very hungry at the start of the day. The salad dressings are excellent. 3) Excellent service. The owner is usually present, and he makes sure things run smoothly. There were time when my waitress would be slack about refilling my drink and he would step in and make it happen. Its always good when the owner is present and active. 4) Great desserts and drinks. Cons: 1) Not a fan of al fresco dining in SoBe for reasons mentioned at the beginning.

We brunched at Oliver's due to its close proximity to my friends' apartment (and because it shares its name with my dog), but I was very pleasantly surprised with my meal. While usually a "brunch is for breakfast food" disciple, I spotted the Texas Rodeo burger on the menu, instantly Liz Lemoned and wanted to go to there. I mean...menu description: topped with sauteed onions, BBQ sauce, melted cheddar, apple wood smoked bacon, fried onion rings. It was as good as it sounds, with great fries to boot. I topped off my meal with a bloody and coffee and was a happy, albeit a bit sleepy, girl. The service was slightly inattentive but still friendly, and there is ample outdoor seating. Would definitely go back for brunch on my next visit to SoBe.

I'm in love.... We ordered the greek salad with grilled chicken. Let me tell you this simple Greek salad was one of the best I've had. The chicken is actually grilled! The dressing is lite and so tasty. My picky friend ordered the grilled calamari and did not return it!! The atmosphere is very cozy and relaxing. The plants are just beautiful with the little lights in them. Overall Oliver's has a great vibe that is very hard to come across. As for the service.... perfect!! My server was Erick he was charming, efficient and polite. I recommend Oliver's to everyone. Can't wait to go back!

SUSAN B.

My son, daughter-in-law, and grandson live in Miami Beach, just a block or two away from Oliver's. I live in Washington, DC, and am only able to visit my family once a year. But each time I visit, we always have a meal or two at Oliver's (on my most recent visit just last week, we dined at Oliver's on three occasions). The food at Oliver's is plentiful, reasonably priced, and very, very good. And the menu is extensive without being mind-bogglingly long. The restaurant itself is just lovely, both indoors and out, as is the ambiance. The waitstaff is professional, friendly, and accommodating. Too, it is "kid-friendly," and provides high-chairs and boosters for the little ones. Adults without children need not panic, however, since most of the patrons of Oliver's are adults. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant, which is located a block from the bay in a lovely, tree-lined neighborhood.

My birthday was Saturday, and sad to say my husband neglected to make plans until the last minute. We will leave "that" discussion for another occasion. However, a friend suggested this place. Not only were they able to accomodate a table for 10 last minute on Sat (which was a feat in itself), the food was fantastic! I ordered bruschetta for the table. They told me the order was three to a plate, so assuming based on past experience at other restaurants what the size would be, I ordered 5. Well - know going in that portions here are large! Each piece was twice the size I expected. I also order escargot that was cooked to perfection and again, the portion was so large I couldn't finish it! I then got the Mahi special - YUM! So, the food gets A+. Now for the wine. While not the largest selection, it was decent and priced more affordably than just about any place in MIA! Yep - you heard me! So go get your drink on and enjoy some great food. Ah - always forget dessert, which I am not generally a fan of, however the cheescake (with candle) was very light and tasty. Creme fraiche and strawberries topped it off without topping me off. So I was more than ready to continue the festivities across the street at the Mondrian. The location is right off the causeway, so no need to get caught up in Beach traffic or tourists. I will definitely be going back.

Was looking for a place to catch a good South Beach breakfast and find Oliver's here on Yelp... Nice location, and for a Sunday morning, it wasn't too hot to sit outside. The food was really great, but the service was not so much. All of our glasses were empty, as well as all the other tables outside. I noticed a bunch of people with menus, waiting for waitstaff. I would still recommend this place, though.

Andrea R.

Getting pampered makes me hungry! Who am I kidding? Everything makes me hungry! After a spa day at the Mondrian hotel my mom and I were ready for dinner...at 5:30pm. You know when you're ready for dinner at 5:30pm you've been spending too much time at the early bird specials in Boca. Our options: Joe's Stone Crab (yum)- 1 hr wait. At 5:30 on a Sunday? Insane! Asia de Cuba- they don't serve dinner until 7pm And so we ended up just down the street at Oliver's. We tried our best to order healthy and settled on the grilled calamari and then the very thin chicken breast with a salad. The chicken breast actually did have a fancy name, but it's escaping my mind right now. The grilled calamari was really good. The rings were very thin and I loved the 2 sauces that came with it...so much that I dipped my bread in it as well (there goes the healthy plan). The chicken breast was a bit plain at first, but then put my salad on top of it...and it was quite flavorful. Our meal turned out to be much less expensive than Joe's and probably a lot healthier than anything we'd find on Asia de Cuba's menu. Thanks to Oliver for feeding us early bird special lovers.

I loved Oliver's so much, I went there three times during a one week stay in Miami for business. It was recommended to us by the concierge at the Mondrian, and had enough seating inside and al fresco. It's a place nice enough to go to on a casual date, but casual enough to go to in your capris and a t-shirt and not feel out of place. First time I had the house salad with tuna ($7 +5.50), the second time I tried the country spaghetti with spicy italian sausage ($15) and the third time I had Fettuccine Carbonara ($13), which was just way too saucy for me. And they have this killer bread with this spread that's made of sour cream, cream cheese and chives. We thought it was butter, but it was worse. Much worse. Let's just cut to the chase. The real reason I went there 3x in one week was the semifreddo oreo pie dessert. O M G. I mean if you love Oreos and ice cream, this dessert is out of control, ridiculously good. Anyone who had any doubts, or who was wavering on having dessert succumbed immediately after the first bite. I wish I hadn't told so many people about it, because each time, we would get one to share and I only got a couple of bites. Nice to sit on the patio under the umbrellas-ellas-ellas and watch the people with dogs stroll by.

I went to Oliver's for brunch on Saturday after an awesome Flywheel ride. They had seating outside in the shade in a quiet neighborhood-- perfect for people watching. I ordered a yummy egg white omelette with veggies and home fries. When I return back to Miami, I will definitely check it out again! Very cute.

Michelle R.

Had breakfast with the family. Good place to bring your 4 legged friend and sit outdoors. I recommend the frech toast with bananas. Delicious! Also - we had the corned beef hash and eggs - pretty good, large portion - couldn't finish it! I've read a lot of mixed reviews on yelp regarding the service, but we have been twice for breakfast now on Sunday and our service was just fine and our order came out promptly. Will return.

Jordan N.

A good priced, modern and tastely decorated restaurant that has a clean and sunny vibe is exactly what is needed in South Beach. And for breakfast too. I had their french toast which was good (although I must admit that I like Clarke's version better). Here you get four large LARGE slices (and extra thick) of french toast that is well-flavored. The breakfast items are pretty simple though and refreshing - they won't wow anyone except maybe for their portions. I can't wait to come back to try some more stuff out of the menu.

i keep hearing about breakfast here so i made the effort to wake up at a decent time last sunday. getting out of bed is never an easy task for me, especially over the weekends, but when we finally arrived to olivers and sat down by the window, we realized we were too late for breakfast. thats right. we were even too late for their late breakfast which is served until 2.30pm. damn it! fortunately, the rest of their menu looks interesting enough so me and P shared the steamed mussels and the pasta carbonara. must say that service was nice. in spanglish. i seriously enjoyed this because both him and i speak perfect proper spanglish. our food did not take precisely long to come out. the mussels were good, steamed on a tomato and garlic sauce, served with 3 nice pieces of bread. the carbonara sauce was creamy but not so heavy, with pancetta and peas. perfect combo with the mussels. i hope to wake up before 2pm one of these weekends, that way i might be able to try their famed brunch but after reading some of the reviews here, apparently, i need to get the mahi mahi sandwich! ya tu sabes

After reading the reviews for Oliver's on Yelp, I decided to buy the Groupon. I paid $10.00 for $20.00 worth of food (I LOVE GROUPON). I just wish my last visit was 4 stars worthy like most of the reviews I read. We arrived at Oliver's and were immediately taken care of, we were seated and we were told our waiter would be right with us. Wait.... Wait... Wait... He finally came and brought us the Menus... Wait... Wait... Wait... Wait... Then he took our order... Wait...Wait... Wait... 20 minutes later the group next to us who arrived 10 minutes after us had their food. Wait... Wait... Wait... Wait... 41 minutes later (Yes I was checking the time) we received our food. The food is what has earned Oliver's the second star. I ordered the Belgium waffle with fresh fruit and whip cream, my little brother had the French Toast (HUGE!!!!) with bananas., and my friend ordered a apple pancake (HUGE) something like that. After my little brother had the French toast he was like "I can't breathe". The French toast was by far the best of the 3. Our waiter was MIA for most of our meal; I would have to ask another waitress if she could please find him. We had to ask for water refills. It was just a HOT MESS. The other disturbing thing was the amount of HUGE flies that were inside. They were everywhere, luckily we sat in an area that didn't have any but we could see them flying around another part of the restaurant. I explained to my waiter the moment I sat down that I had a Groupon, he said "No worries, just give it to me at the end". I did just as he asked. At the end of the meal I pulled up the coupon code from my cell. He started walking around the restaurant lost and confused with my cell phone. Finally, someone who I assume was a manager looked at the Groupon like it was something out of the twilight zone. He then asked me why I hadn't given the code at the beginning of the meal. My eye started twitching and my 10 yr old brother grabbed my arm and before I POPPED OFF, he told me "Don't worry just calm down". It made me laugh so hard. They then got their things together and took $20 off my ticket. I am not rushing to go back to Oliver's anytime soon.

I went here for the first time with a friend for dinner and I truly liked it! She had already been there many times since she lives across the street & she says it's like her favorite place. She mentioned the churrasco is very very good, but this time she had the fried chicken which she also loved. She said she didnt even need a knife to cut through the chicken because of how soft it was. I ordered the salmon which was delicious as well! Prices were reasonable. Waiters & manager were very nice. I'll be going back :)

I went to Oliver's today for brunch after realizing that my Groupon would expire in about a week. We arrive and parking is surprisingly easy, there was a metered garage just behind the building. We were seated and had to wait for a while before we were attended to but when our server finally came around to us, she was extremely friendly. The food did take very long to arrive. My friend ordered the french toast with fruit and i ordered the popovers. My popovers were good, but nothing to rave over. The french toast was great. Orange juice was fresh but it should be at $4.50 a glass. Overall, the food was good, service was friendly but slow, and the atmosphere is nice. Good place to bring your dog or kids, or to watch other people's dogs...or kids.

Caro C.

I've been here twice. Once for brunch and once for lunch. The food is fine. That is the best way to describe it. Nothing is "great" which is why I've given two stars. Waitstaff is fine too. Just got the feeling they don't go out of their way for great service nor great food. The waitstaff make you feel your doing them a favor by eating there. Even when the place is empty we waited on cocktails while we watched two waiters chatting away with each other.

Oliver's is a cute little restaurant tucked away in South Beach. My suggestion is that you skip the food and eat the delish appetizers. The grilled calamari was to die for. The hummus platter amazing!! The smoked salmon with potatote pancakes delish! The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because the check was $90.00 for lunch. Although I do not mind paying for good food, I felt that this was a bit pricey for what it was.

Alyssa J.

We are obsessed w/ Olivers! Locals that never made it here finally did so after getting a Groupon and we were in love from the moment we sat down. Adorable place, clean, casual but with a "nice" feeling, and the nicest servers ever. Exactly what a local place should be. Everything came quickly and was amazing - sweet potato fries especially! They are very dog friendly too which is nice. Slightly on the high end of "moderate" pricing (but not ridiculous) which is not uncommon for the area but puts it a little too high to come here as much as we would like. It would be great to add something like a "locals lunch/dinner" menu or offer more groupons etc. (Or - if Olivers is reading - join a program like Idine which would be WONDERFUL :) Wish all restaurants were like Olivers :)

Julia C.

Don't eat here much for anything but brunch (though I have a few times and it's been good) but come often for the Eggs Benedict and Steak & Eggs, both of which I think are done very well and fairly priced. Great atmosphere with mostly locals. Good European-style service also. A perennial fave.

Michelle W.

Um, forget breakfast at this place and proceed directly to a blackened Mahi-Mahi sandwich. Probably one of the best I've ever had. Excellent cut of fish cooked to perfection, large portion, great blackened seasoning & the sauce comes on the side, so you can put as much (or not) on as you like. The fries have a nice crispy flavor coating. I pretty much licked my plate, this sandwich & fries = awesome. Service is still pretty slow and inattentive, that's why they can't have 5 stars. I will never order anything except the Mahi from here. Go try one now!

Marisa S.

I live across the street. So, this place is an easy choice for me. They really have great options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But, I have to say that breakfast/brunch wins when you are talking pancakes! I sound like a gotton, but they are thick, huge and perfect. Go nuts and get the banana pancakes and you wont be dissapointed. Great outdoor seating, too. My only complaint is that the dinner items are overpriced for it being a local spot. But, it is good.

Gracie D.

This place is great! We landed in Miami starving and just kind of stumbled in, but I'm so glad we did! My fiancee, his father and myself all have VERY different ideas about what makes a good meal, but each of us was able to fulfill our expectations and fill our bellies! It was truly delicious, and not too expensive (especially for the area). Make the trip and pay them a visit!

Living right across the street, I already knew this place was great for brunch and lunch. The Greek Salad with grilled calamari is just perfect! Recently I tried one of their entrees, and I don't regret that! The sushi grade ahi tuna was perfect! And it comes with wasabi mashed potatoes, wow. I never ever eat potatoes, mashed or not. Simply don't like them. But I finished almost all of the mashed potatoes on the plate, so good! The service is ok, depending on the server. There is this guy that I love, don t know his name but he is very friendly and funny. On the other hand, there is also a man that is kinda rude and still doesn't seem to recognize me even though I come here almost every week. But the great food, good atmosphere (no your typical SoBe spot, relaxed and local) and perfect location on West Avenue deserve 5 stars. I'll be back to try more entrees!

This is my second time going back to Olivers. We have been served by a nice funny Peruvian server that gives great service. Both times I order the Greek Salad with grill Calamari, highly recommended. Next time I'll order the Ceviche that our serves keeps recommending, and we will ask for the same waiter for more laughs!!!

This review is of the brunch menu. Basic brunch menu overpriced, then try to get what you really want. Make any substitutions and you'll be charged way more! With prices already high the substitution charges become ridiculous - $2 for egg whites, $1 for wheat, just a few examples. 2 stars for location and atmosphere. Food - OK, but it's hard to mess up eggs when you charge $20 for an omelette.

decided to check out olivers for a girls wknd recap sunday brunch. the wait was minimal for an outdoor table, and although they have a few fans and plenty of shade, the miami heat is too intense. the service was nice and fast, but nothing extraordinary. the coffee was delicious. i dont know if i just really needed a caffeine fix, but wow it was good. the egg, cheese, and sausage popover was possibly my favorite breakfast dish ive ever had. every bite was practically perfect. the prices were very reasonable, especially for south beach standards. i will be back.

Living on West Ave, the convenience factor of Oliver's is through the roof. I literally just have to walk down the street to have a good meal at Oliver's. I have eaten at Oliver's 3 times and each time, the food was just OK. As a vegetarian, there weren't many choices for me, and I think I have pretty much had all of the options. The first time I went, I had the zucchini salad and added the marinated tofu. The salad was so bland, really nothing special. But the tofu was very tasty. I've also eaten the vegetable wrap, which was standard, veggies on a tortilla wrap. The fries were pretty good, though. For dinner one night, I had the buccatini with veggies. IT WAS SO SPICY!!! There was no indication on the menu that it was spicy. And I didn't think to ask because it's pasta with veggies on top, how could that be spicy? Well, I think the noodles must have been made with extra pepper in them because my mouth was having a spice explosion! I will definitely go back to Oliver's for the mere reason that it is so close and convenient. I want to try their brunch because the menu looked really delicious.

I'm really sad with the whole experience today and was hoping for better based on the reviews. $4.50 Fresh OJ, Side of Sausage Links [some what cold] and French Toast served very cold, told the server however he acted as if he did NOT understand and walked away. When they brought the butter it was frozen [why do restaurants do this?]. Couldn't even eat the food tried to wave the waiter down he noticed but continued to pour coffee to the other folks and never stopped by. When he did he took the plate never offered to bring another, sad sorry nothing on top of that brought the bill with the French Toast on it. Serious, I'm not paying for something I tried to send back 2x but no one seemed to cared. When the waiter got upset w/my asking to remove the charge the manager then came over I explained he even didn't seem to care. Just b/c you have a regular following shouldn't give you the right to dismiss customer service and food quality b/c if you don't continue either of these you will be missing the main ingredient to the restaurant customers!

My husband and I stopped here for lunch after a long morning walk. I love the sidewalk seating (which obviously isn't hard to find in the area) but the food was somewhat disappointing. I ordered the seafood soup as a starter which had a lot of seafood in it (calamari, clams, mussels, some sort of white fish) but the overall taste was somewhat bland and there was a lot of oil floating on top of the soup. For my meal I ordered the mahi mahi sandwich- it was slightly dry- i ended up using some of my salad dressing to give it more flavor and jazz it up a bit. My husband had the kobe sliders and again said they were dry and was borrowing my dressing for his meal too! The best part was the sweet potato french fries! They were very well done, crispy and warm with a little bit of sweetness.

AMAZING! THIS IS AS GOOD AS FOOD GETS! I stumbled onto this place and am so glad I did. They serve the best hummus I have ever tasted, with warm, delicious pita bread. I ate the vegetarian platter with marinated tofu and I have been making tofu this way at home since. I could not believe such a simple dish could be so magnificent. The salads are huge, the calamari was delicious, the risotto was out of this world. I can't say enough about Oliver's. Go there now, you'll thank me later!

This is one of my favorite places to go for breakfast. Went there this morning with our pooches and had the delish Popover and the Dutch Pancake. Such a treat!!

For Dinner, pass. The menu looks creative but the dishes but are low on flavor and are a bit too sugary or salty to make up for what they're lacking. FYI -THEY DO NOT SERVE LIQUOR. Please note, this post is based on the opinions of a San Francisco and Chicago food snob.

Brunch Deliciousness!!! You can not go wrong. Oliver's has both indoor and outdoor seating. Affordable prices, wonderful menu options, scrumptious fare, and an attentive staff. Killer eggs benedict, if that's your kind of thing.

Great food, reasonable prices, not so good service. I had the blackened mahi mahi- very well cooked and extremely flavorful. The remoulade sauce is probably one of the tastiest things I've ever had! My friend had the kobe beef sliders and he thought they were a bit bland. Another friend had the salmon sandwich and we were all very impressed by the portion size, as well as by how well seasoned everything was. A great place to people watch and relax on a weekend. The service is a bit slow, so only come in if you have time to eat a leisurely meal.

Would recommend: - French Toast - Pop-over - Cafe con leche Would not recommend the eggs benedict which were overcooked and the hollandaise was unimpressive. They did give me a plate of replacement eggs, but I still would not recommend this dish.

I am quite a fan of this restaurant. It's a hidden gem on West Avenue that has not been bombarded with the typical South Beach crowd. The food is always spectacular, as is the staff.

I ate there a few days ago and it was my second time. First time I went, I ordered breakfast and it was great. No complaints and the price is very fair being it is on West Ave... I ate there again a few days ago and got dinner. Again, the food was great... The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because both times I was there, there were flies inside. Now I know this happens when you have food everywhere but it gets annoying when they are landing on your food. I know they have outside seating too and it makes it easier for the wait staff when they are going in and out to just leave the door open. I would recommend they close it and then there would be a 5 start rating...

I had stuffed gnocchi here and it was really good. The service was fine, nothing special. I like the seating - it reminded me of sitting at home, on the couch...but with a waiter!!!! lol

Seeing good reviews on Yelp and noting the nice location away from all the noise of the main drag in South Beach, I headed to Oliver's for breakfast. The location is nice especially to sit outside and people watch while you dine. The breakfast was OK but nothing special. Overall a nice and chill spot...

We came here after a yelp event that was being hosted near by. Parking was surprisingly easy directly in front of the restaurant. If you know Sobe this is not common. The outdoor seating was so enjoyable on this chilly november night. The service was excellent. The beer was moderately priced no great deal here. For dinner I had the steak sandwich and my friend had the chicken. Both were delish! I loved the laid back but still trendy feel. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

Just went here last night for the very first time and was disappointed. Why 2 stars? Because our service was TERRIBLE. The only reason it's getting 2 instead of 1 is because the food was above average. If you do go to Oliver's, make sure you don't have the waiter who is tall, with short blond hair and seems to be in his late 20's-30's. I wish I saved the receipt so I could remember his name. 2 other tables who sat after we had arrived left before we even got to ordering dessert. So with my luck, my friend and I got the shitty waiter that night. I see everyone giving this place a great review so I thought this place was a no brain-er. I can see why some of these reviews are valid, but I guess they never sat in this guy's section before. We ordered fried calamari, and it was good... nothing to yelp about, but also nothing to complain about. The cocktail sauce was as plain as it gets, nothing very distinct about it but it was not bad. I haven't service that bad in a while, and I was upset because my Salmon sandwich was actually good. Our bottle of wine (Nobilo) was also great. This was my first time at Oliver's, and it's most likely my last. A first impression is always important especially when dining out, and my expectations fell short. I've gotten better service at Denny's around 4am! There was an older gentlemen with glasses on who looked like he was the owner or manager, and I had to literally get up from my chair and ask this guy for our bill because our waiter had his head up in the clouds. I have to admit, I don't like to try out new restaurants that much especially in South Beach and now I remember why.

Just went there couple days ago as i was in town for Winter Music Conference and thank god for my local friend that suggested the place. It was quet away from everything. The food was amazing Grilled Calmari to die for, Tomato Burrata Salad amazing so was the tilapia. The only downfall was the service waitress didn't seem to want to be there at all and at the end of the night as the seats were still full and they had just finished serving food they started to activly clean and take candles of the tables which was very disturbing as we wanted to finish our cocktails. I do suggest it for the food.

If I ever tell you that I'll meet you for breakfast on a weekend, don't bother setting your alarm clock. Just wait for that text from me that says something like, "I woke up with laryngitis, meningitis, I would rather sleep than eat breakfast-gitis." It's not so much that I was lying to you when I agreed at 2am that we should do breakfast, it's that I was lying to myself that I'd actually do it. Brunch, breakfast food that can be enjoyed in the afternoon, is the perfect alternative (though I might flake on that too...) Oliver's treasonous eggs are worth getting out of bed for. I'll admit, poached eggs and bacon are just an excuse to put hollandaise sauce on something, but, as someone who knows a few things about morning excuses, it's a good one.

French toast, eggs, bacon and a wasabi bloody mary on the patio. Perfect Sunday morning, great brunch! The portions were huge and service prompt. Definitely worth a try if you're in the neighborhood.

First of all, read my other reviews and you'll see that I am not typically a disgruntled customer. I'd been a loyal Oliver's customer for 3 years. But today the nasty management lost a customer, along with the out-of-towners and locals I routinely bring there and recommend it to. Went in alone for a quick breakfast on my way to a gig. Outside was crowded but inside was empty. I had a half-hour, which I mentioned up front and was perfectly happy go elsewhere if they couldn't accommodate that time frame. I know it can be a pain when people are in a rush. I approached someone in a uniform and inquired as to how long a specific menu item might take (I already knew what I wanted). He told me, and asked if that's what I wanted. I answered in the affirmative, when a woman behind the bar in hipster dark-framed glasses interrupted, saying, "He's a bus boy. He can't take your order," in a curt tone that made me feel embarrassed for the poor bus boy who was trying to be so helpful. So I said, "OK, what should I do?" She said a waiter would have to take my order. When I asked how long that would take, she said it depended on where I sat. I said I was happy to sit wherever she wanted me to, since I was in a rush and trying to be helpful. And, in an empty restaurant -- knowing I'd be gone in about 25 minutes -- she sent me to a table in the corner facing a wall. After a few minutes wait, the manager came over and tried to give me a menu; I told him that I already knew what I wanted, and without a word, he walked away, I assumed to summon a waiter. Not so. After another several minutes, I went back to the woman at the bar, who knew I was in rush, remember, and asked her if a waiter would take my order soon. A waiter standing at the bar said, "Oh, you can just order right here if you don't mind eating at the bar." Which I didn't mind at all, but didn't know why the woman didn't recommend that from the get-go. When I asked her, she gave me a nasty look, at which point I decided I didn't want to eat there anymore. The manager came over to ask what happened, and the woman said, "She can't just walk in and order from the first person she sees!" (Remember, I was inquiring about whether or not they could serve me in the time I had, and the bus boy offered to take my order.) When I tried to explain this to the manager, he kept interrupting me. Clearly, he wasn't interested in listening. I took my business a few doors down to Gusto Vino & Cafe, a new cafe, with extremely quick, very friendly service, fresh food, delicious coffee served with steamed milk, and really nice dÃ©cor. If you're looking to eat on West Ave. give Gusto a try instead.

Located at West and 9th in Sobe, I decided the second I turned the corner that it was a gay hangout. Only male waiters, albeit hot ones...and hot gay couples with matching shirts! *awww* We walked in and there was a family of 6 in the middle having brunch, then we didn't feel like we were invading some kind of private party/violating some kind of code. :) Service was good, our waiter was attentive and even gave us "instructions" on how to eat the Oliver's popover! Ha! 1. Egg benedict with smoked salmon - You could choose the salmon option for $3 in addition to the $8.50. It was wonderfully done, the hollandaise sauce wasn't overly creamy. Perfecto in my standards. 2. Oliver's popover - A croissant type pastry baked like a mushroom with a cheese omelette and sausage inside. It was kinda too much one friend, the other loved it. 3. Bellini cocktail - The perfect way to start a Saturday brunch! I liked it...but I will probably stick to my mimosas next time! A little too way for me to come for brunch but a great place to bring visitors...brunch at Oliver's and then off to Sobe! :) Tip-bits: If you park across Alton on 9th St...in the residential area..it's free! Brunch from 9am-3pm (it was written on the board that day we went)

Today I went with two of my friends to Oliver's and it was excellent! Kira had breakfast (waffles to be exact and they were delish!!), Montse had chicken curry (it looked good) and I had the chicken, bacon, and brie sandwich, which was excellent! The fries were tasty, too :) Overall, the restaurant is super clean, our waitress was super nice, and it is a great place to spend Sunday morning (or afternoon) having a relaxing meal.

My friend took me here on a hot hungover Sunday and the food totally hit the spot. It was her birthday, so we actually came back and ate dinner here as well and yes we got practically the same thing It's nice because it's on West Ave. and not Lincoln aka you avoid the crowds and sometimes jacked up prices and the atmosphere is quaint and fits the normal Miami scene: big outdoor orange umbrellas, trendy inside. We ordered the Ceviche and the Greek Salad to split. The ceviche was very fresh and cool for a hot day in Miami. It was coated with a citrus marinade dressing and had onion slices mixed with octopus, squid, and shrimp. Very tasty. The Greek salad was huge and was topped with the grilled calamari. The original dressing was a bit heavy for my tastes, so when we came back for dinner we substituted it for their lime vinaigrette which made it even better. They had huge chunks of feta cheese in it which made it an even bigger winner for me. What is a brunch without a mimosa? Oliver's were very fresh and smooth. They also start you off with some warm bread that comes with a creamy herb spread, but they also have balsamic and oil if you prefer to dip in that. The only negative thing that I have to say about the experience is that I think the waitress forgot we were outside and it took her about 15 minutes to check on us to get the bill, but we had no issues in the evening. Oh yea! For brunch they have these pancakes that I kept seeing walking by me and smelling and they looked divine!!! Each pancake was almost an inch thick, so I have to go back to try them because seemed quite popular.

A brunch place known for its umbrellas and being a neighborhood favorite. I was really hoping to love this place but shortly after arriving I knew that this place wouldn't be the one for me. Oliver's will hold a reservation for a large party and the staff is helpful. However, our server was clearly upset about our table. The menu seemed huge at first but isn't that large or overwhelming really. There is only a beer and wine place so: mimosas: si bloody marys: no We started off with a delicious salmon and brie on crostini appetizer. As for the main event I ordered banana french toast and my friend/brunch accomplice Ramon C ordered an omelet and we shared one another's plates. Nothing was amazing, just overall ok. Although I would go back and try it again. I must say the management here is very cool and they will work with their clients. I found the management to be fair, respectful, and helpful. Our server seemed unhappy to be dealing with our table which was unfortunate as that always affects the gathering one way or the other. If you like dining al fresco, come to Oliver's, have a mimosa, start with the salmon and brie. As mentioned in other reviews the portions are generous so be aware when ordering.

Had a great brunch here yesterday with some awesome Yelpers - seems every event I go to I have the pleasure of meeting a yelper I haven't met before - this time I finally got to meet Theo H. Thanks Maria et al. for waiting for us to arrive before ordering :-) When we got to the table an order of toasted bread/bagel slices with brie & salmon had been ordered - it was delicious. I really like the option to incorporate brie into the dishes here, since it's such a sweet and soft cheese, the flavor is mild and seemed to compliment well the dishes I tasted with it. As Greshka mentioned, we shared the omelet and it was the perfect size, left us full enough to still be able to enjoy the beach immediately after in our bikinis (read, no over stuffed belly here) - so if you don't like to eat too much or get full easily, I recommend sharing. Maria's banana stuffed french toasts looked DELICIOUS, and Jeff's apple pancake was HUGE and also delicious looking. The staff was present and quick, but not overly friendly, which was fine, since we were pretty much talking with each other the whole time, so they didn't come to interrupt frequently. You can buy all the mimosas you want here, but if you'd like that hair of the dog bloody mary, you're in the wrong place. Nothing that an order of tomato juice, pepper, tabasco sauce, lemon and some smuggled-in-(out of view)-vodka can't fix. I'd like to come back and try a dessert here one of these evenings, or maybe even a glass of wine while relaxing with friends over a nice conversation. I really liked that this place is on West Ave. away from the hustle and bustle of south beach.

Away from the ghetto-ness of SoBe, this place was a breath of fresh air. Great service and great food. We ordered the Calamari Greek salad and the Chicken Brie...both were great.

Christopher K.

Service is good, doubly so, since I am outside the city. The food is just a little left of the mark. The yogurty stuff with the bread was great. The calamari was horrible, and the steak is good but sadly a little overdone. A piece of meat like this needs to be warm and still quivering. But as always, it comes back to the service, which was great. My waiter was a slender young bloke with glasses and close cropped hair. He's good. Keep an eye out for him and tip him well.

Just moved here at the beginning of the year right across from Oliver's and can't believe it took me this long to eat here. Just chillin outside under the umbrellas is very relaxing and love to people watch. Had the All American Breakfast and it was great, at a good price and great presentation. Going to start eating here once a week

Really enjoyed breakfast. Sat outside little chilly as it was January but heaters were on. Eggs - delicious, soft and fluffy. Bacon super crisp and sweet. Huge pancakes - choc chip worked very well. Vodka infused Sake bloody mary - great. Coffee ok. Nice place for breakfast - will go back.

I cannot believe I held off going to Oliver's for this long! I met up with a friend for lunch, but as it was so hot, we chose a table inside where it was nice and cool. They have a Saturday and Sunday brunch menu which looks enticing but I wasn't in the mood for breakfast fare. I must admit, as of late, I have been on a serious ceviche craze and I quickly decided, after a brief perusal of the plentiful lunch menu, that this day would be no exception. I bet big on Oliver's ceviche with no regrets as it was refreshing and adequately sized. On this hot Saturday afternoon, Oliver's unsweetened iced tea hit the spot. For an entree, I selected the seared ahi tuna sandwich on ciabatta with seasoned fries, and once again, I was not disappointed! A huge sandwich was put in front of me and I went to town on it! SImply delicious; a clean flavor, no flashy business or foofoo garnishings; just a great sandwich with a dash of wasabi mayonnaise and refreshing ginger complimented with crisp, hot skinny fries with just an ideal amount of seasonings. The crowd was light for a Saturday afternoon; I have seen it fairly packed to the rafters as it sits on one of my more frequented bicycle itineraries; like us, most people eschewed the outdoor tables under the oversized orange umbrellas, selecting the indoors instead. The decor is simple but aesthetically pleasing, by the way.

Was visiting Miami and had a groupon to this restaurant. The visit didn't start up well. The restaurant was full of flies, both inside and outside of the restaurant. Never been in a restaurant with more flies. Flies on the lights, flies on the silverware, flies on the plates. Told the server about the problem, but was ignored. "They're just fruit flies." Like that makes it acceptable. No, they were not fruit flies but large flies. Wanted to leave, but had a groupon and grudgingly decided to stay. The server had a bit of a non-caring attitude; polite but uncaring. Looked at the menu; very unremarkable run of the mill food. Asked about the special, was told there is no special before 6 pm. Asked about what kind of special is usually available, was told mainly seafood. First time in a restaurant where you had to press to understand the restaurant's special. The owner was there at the bar going over the receipts oblivious to the customers. Ordered Texas burger. Burger was good. Actually wanted to add a salad, but was so put off by the flies that didn't want to risk ordering something raw or not cooked. Ordered a tiramisu and a coffee. Tiramisu was good, but the coffee was crap. Whole time busy swatting flies while eating. Paid with groupon, and was met with a 'oh, groupon customer...' and was pretty ticked off. Bottom line, would not go back and would not recommend this place to anyone. Can't understand how they passed the city inspection with so many flies flying around. All they need to do is to install fly lamps in and outside of the restaurant.

I love Oliver's- I go there a few times every month, and I've tried a lot of things on the menu. Their brunch is awesome; I really like the omelet and their belgain waffle is a sugary morning treat. Their dinner is just as good, which is important if I'm going to visit a restaurant regularly. I've had most of the chicken dishes, which are all tasty. My favorite go-to dinner is their burger, which is one of the best on the beach (and reasonably priced). I'm always really happy with their service, too. I saw that a reviewer below was unhappy with his service, and that's never been true for me. If you get an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert, you can bet that other tables will be finished before you-- that's the way restaurants work. I regularly have either the tall guy with blonde hair or the tall, skinny guy with short dark hair as my waiter, and they're both perfect-- they don't hang over your table (which makes me uncomfortable), but they're always refilling my water at the right moment. Finally, this restaurant is a great place to sit outside and enjoy Miami Beach without having to sit on Ocean Drive amidst all of the craziness. I sat across from J. Lo. once, and I also sat next to Calvin Klein once. You can't beat that for a good, truly neighborhood restaurant.

During my short stay in Miami, I knew I had to try out this great brunch place and it was delicious. I had the Seared Ahi with Wasabi Mayo Sandwich. Wow, that wasabi mayo is a perfect compliment to the scrumptious Ahi. Also came it with a side of salad which was lightly dressed. Worth the 15 minute walk into the thunderstorm from Lummus.

Great breakfast spot near Mondrian. Cafe con leche was delicious as hell. Had the 3 egg omelette and it was also very tasty from their brunch menu. My friends and I were on 4 hours sleep with booze in the blood so didn't really feel like partaking in the mimosas but I'm sure they are delicious.

Stopped by for brunch Ordered a sangria at the bar Hadn't even looked at the menu (because she didn't offer me one) I've had the sangria here before and loved it This one tasted absolutely disgusting. It had obviously spoiled. I informed the bartender that there was something wrong with it She apologized I asked her to make me a new one She said "sorry it's premixed and I would have to make a new batch for you. Guess what lady: THATS YOUR JOB AS BARTENDER Needless to say I'm not hanging around to order food and I doubt I will come back for that kind shitty ass services

Pavnit K.

I feel like a fellow reviewer really hit the nail on the head regarding the food and service. Let's start with the positives. This a little hidden gem in a quiet part of Miami. The food here is pretty amazing. The dutch apple pancakes were just sinfully delicious. They had this amazing crust that was super addicting and the apples were the right balance between crisp and soft. My friend got the waffles and they were also fluffy and delicious. We shared the egg, sausage and cheese popover. The eggs within the popover were cooked perfectly. The popover, on the other hand, was just average. As another reviewer pointed out, it was on the dry side. The service was pretty average. I understand we were two girls ordering a lot of food, but I would think that was our call and not our servers. She questioned our order and why we would want to order so much. We really wanted to try several items on the menu and could not decide. Other than that, there was really nothing exceptional regarding service.
(4)
Kate G.

I came here for the brunch and the sausage egg popover on Labor Day weekend, but warning they won't serve that on a weekend. It was the main reason why I came here so was disappointed. The Eggs Benedict was classic and good. I didn't like onions in the potatoes that came with it. The gnocchi with vodka sauce was mediocre. The vodka sauce was disappointing - tasted more like half/half sauce instead of vodka sauce - but gnocchi was okay. Patio looks into a building under construction so not a great view. However, the service was good.

My husband and I went to Miami Beach for my birthday, and I have very high standards being from NYC, but Oliver's was great. Located in the most active part of South Beach on the intracoastal side, it was a short drive from our hotel. I had the potato gnocchi with peas. parmesan, and vodka sauce. The sauce was exceptionally rich and creamy with a lot of umami flavor. My husband ordered the beef bourguignon with carrots, pearl onions, and potatoes. The burgundy wine sauce was peppery and delicious, and the beef was delightfully tender and fell apart easily without the use of a knife. We shared the bruschetta for an appetizer and I was surprised by the quality. My husband and I paired it with a well-enjoyed Merlot for a $12 corkage fee. All in all, I think if I were vacationing in Miami Beach again I would consider for dinner, and I am considering it for the well-renown brunch on Sunday. But I can definitely recommend it for dinner.

ChÃ©rie G.

Ideal location. The food was great. The reason I give this review four stars is because of customer service and manager. I walked right through the restaurant and made it to the bar before someone saw me (the bartender). She advised me the manager was outside and he would seat me (wrong). Someone else brought me to my seat. The manager was too busy making sure his "top/favorite" guest were taking care of. That really took away from my experience. Please try the apple pancakes it's really good ! Stay away from the oven pop-over if you don't like want a big stack of dry bread. My server was excellent !!

I love Oliver's not only because it's conveniently located right across the street from my apartment but also because they have great food, outdoor seating and attentive staff. What more could you ask for? Everything I've tried thus far from their menu has been on point as has their service.

We stopped in here for breakfast on Saturday. As we were wanting to head to the beach. Oliver's seemed like the logical choice. The location is not hard to find, it's bright orange umbrellas make it quite easy to spot. Though parking I imagine can be a struggle on big holidays or large event days. However, we did not encounter any issues finding street parking. We went in the late morning so the inside was empty and the outside was lively and busy. We selected inside just to escape the heat for a little bit. And we were greeted and sat immediately. The decor in the restaurant is very chic. I felt like I entered someone's well designed outdoor living space rather than a restaurant. It was very well designed, and had a well organized bar. The service was on point, the gentleman that assisted us was fantastic. Extremely professional, knowledgable, and timely. Our food was excellent as well. I ended up with the Belgian waffles, with an upgrade from fruit to the strawberries and cream. Hands down that was the best decision all day. My friend got the bowl of strawberries and cream. Though 8$ it was worth it when you see how much you received. In addition she also got the 2 eggs any way and she mentioned that everything was tasty and well cooked. For drinks, I'm going to highly recommend the bellinis. They were tasty and not too overpowering. And stronger than most that we have encountered during our trip. All in all if you are looking for breakfast that is well worth the price in a great restaurant. Do not miss Oliver's. You won't regret it.

Rosie V.

Great service. Good food. The smoked salmon, cream cheese and caviar on potato pancakes were delicious! I could've gone for another plate of these. The popover filled with eggs, cheddar and sausage was tasty but nothing I would return for, the bread was also a little burnt for my taste. The hash and 2 sunny side eggs were really good after adding some salt and pepper. However, it was missing toast or a biscuit. I wouldn't order the Sangria again. Lacked the fruity flavors this drinks usually has.

Bottom Line: Great restaurant for locals, Great food at a decent price. Pros: Pastas, burgers, and fancier food. All at a good price (Servings are always generous). Location for locals. Great relaxed seating w/ relaxed atmosphere... looks kinda upscale but is actually pretty casual. Wait staff is very helpful. Cons: Can't think of any off the top of my head. This place gets a 4 star because the food isn't too memorable.

Where do I start?? I don't spend much time at all in the Miami Beach area but I was there so we figured to try out a near by place. Yelp brought this one up really quick and it was suggested as a nice brunch spot. From the moment we walked up the service was less than hospitable. The gentleman told us it would be a 10 min wait for an outside table. We were waiting 15 mins and saw two other groups seated before us, including a gentleman with a lil dog than had just walked up. The gentleman said that he would seat us next and that he forgot about us, how do you forget about someone who is standing in front of you? The waitress we had was very nice. The food wasn't too bad. I got the Dutch Apple Pancakes...extremely sweet. But once again the rest of the staff seemed extremely bitter about being there. If anyone from that resturant is reading this please...if you hate your job that much find another one.

The Menu looked good, prices were ok, service was ok. We had three items on the menu and they were all very good. Huge Salad. Cobb Salad was very tasty. Then on to the Lobster Ravilo. they were amazing, cooked just right and not too much sauce. very good. Also had the Chicken Flatbread. Chicken was cooked perfectly, not dry and not undercooked. the seasonly was just right, not salty.

Went to Oliver's for Mother's Day at 10am and had excellent service from Eddie, our waiter who continually made sure we had everything we needed. The Dutch apple pancake was divine and so was the fruit plate. Definitely recommended. It got super busy by 11am so if you want to just sit and eat, come early.

Before you continue to read please scroll down to the first paragraph of Florence Y.'s review. With that said. I strolled in here with a girlfriend for Sunday brunch. We were the table that smelled and had fungus growing on it. As we sat in our deserted and ostracized table we watched pretty boy one walk in, be seated, given water, and attended right away. Then in came prettier boy two, walk in, seated, given water, and attended. And then when you thought they couldn't get prettier walked in prettier boy four with prettier boy-boyfriend five, you get the drift. My friend was craving the shrimp and brie quesadilla's so we sat through the torture. The torture of terrible service and the torture of just sitting and gazing at so many pretty boys. I notice many of the trays of foods coming out of the kitchen portions were pretty big. I saw a french toast plate that tested my patience. It sat looking at me from my neighbors table with it's plump and juicy self whispering "come and get it". Everything looked really yummy. We both ordered the quesadilla's and I was not dissapointed at all. It was toasted just perfect with black bean, corn, shrimp, and brie cheese. The brie cheese was soft enough to not over power all the other flavors. They served it with guacamole, salsa, and their own special sauce that was sour cream based but I don't know what it was. The food was good and I can't complain about that. All in all unless I come back with some guy friends I will think twice before returning despite how good the food was and looked.

Great, off-the-tourist-path place for brunch in Miami Beach! The popovers with scrambled eggs were very tasty! (Tip for vegetarians - they will happily make them without sausage!)

I go there about twice a week and I Love it. Herbert the Mgr is always friendly and the Bartender Romina is Very Polite and quite easy on the eyes. I give the place a def thumbs up!

My boyfriend and I wanted a restaurant which offer both good vegetarian and meat selections, and Oliver's fit our needs perfectly. I had the popover and he the Mediterranean flatbread. We also had the Cafe con leche. We both really enjoyed our brunch here. The restaurant is beautiful and a little distance away from the busy part of South Beach. So if you want a nice quiet place to spend your morning, I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I am not thrilled with Oliver's... It is fine and if you are in the area the grilled calamari salad is pretty good. The eggs are drenched in butter even when you ask them to cook them without any butter at all.

Have been to S Beach many time but usually dine around the Collins or Ocaen ave area. What a gem to discover off the beaten path. This place delivered above my expectation in atmosphere, menu, prices and service. Illy coffee, prosecco wine and excellent cerviche. Will most definitely make this a choice stop when visiting again. Italian flair very well appointed and delivered.

Jackie B.

Oh my!! The butter spread and homemade bread is beyond yummy and amazing...if I could only eat that all day/night long, I would!! I have been a fan for 2 years now! I love how it is more for locals and enjoy that it is away from all the noise/tourists that comes with being/living on the beach. I usually have my Greek salad with grilled calamari. I can't say how delicious it is and how fresh the dressing tastes! I think my only 2 complaints are parking and it's a hit or miss with the staff. Some days they are great and other days not so much. Overall, love the food, the decor, and the location!

Slow, inattentive service coupled with COLD COFEE killed any chance of getting 3 stars. Location is nice for brunch/people-watching, though general breakfast items are average. But the cold coffee, straight from the pot, right when the restaurant opened at 10AM on a Saturday, is a good clue that I am drinking leftovers from last night. Gawd, would it kill them to at least wash the pots and brew a new batch?

During my first visit to Oilvers we went for Sunday brunch and we loved it, good food, quick service and reasonable prices, the bellinis are amazing, highly recommend it for weekend uncomplicated brunch.

Nice romantic scenary, good food & the service was fine. Somewhat limited room inside, outside area is nice for people watching although it's not a high traffic area of South Beach. Reminds me of restaurants found on Lincoln Road. Prices were standard and the restaurant is worth checking out at least once.
(3)
Eric H.

I have been three times now. I always try to wait a few times before I write or tell someone about a restaurant. With that said. The prices here are fair to great. The portions if anything are too big (but its a locals place and we can walk home with our leftovers), but are an amazing value. I have eaten here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All the time the food was spot on and delicious. Wine list is good. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. If there were a negative its that there isn't enough outdoor seating on a beautiful day. But isn't that the case with all restaurants on South Beach.

Kim H.

I live a stone's throw away from Oliver's and I go fairly often for dinner, which is always very good and reasonably priced. However, I recently stopped in one Saturday morning for brunch with my sister and had one of the best Belgian waffles ever. We both ordered the same thing, The Belgian waffle with whipped cream, syrup and fresh fruit on the side with a cafe con leche. So yummy, it was a great way to start the day!

Gina V.

I've only ever had the veggie plate (5 or 6 times, it's that good). Lots of grilled veggies over buttery rice. Very tasty and filling, and you can add grilled tofu if you want the extra protein. It's a great place to eat if you want to sit outside with your dog, they're very pet friendly. Convenient, too. You can usually find nearby parking and there's a garage right there that doesn't cost a fortune. Service is usually good although last time I was there during Sunday brunch time and we didn't see much of our waiter.

J M.

I went back a second time in one week. I couldn't resist ordering the blackened Mahi Mahi again. But this time I asked it to have the sides of mango chutney, jasmine rice, and fried plantain. I like these sides better than the limebutter, mashed potatoe they offer it with on the menu. Yumbo!
(5)
Katia M.

Great food and great wine list, first off. This probably isn't somewhere I could afford to go to on a regular basis, but I happened to have dinner there, and everything was great. There was water brought for the dog, lots of wine, very nice food presentation, and great ambiance. We happened to catch a nice night, so the outside patio was the perfect spot to be. Service was a bit cool, but nothing to complain about by any means. Very, very good food here.
(5)
AJ H.

Stick to the standards here -- eggs, bacon, potatoes. The eggs benedict is good. But the latte was lousy, the "maple syrup" was your standard maple flavored corn syrup trash, and the "Dutch apple pancake" was just a regular pancake with apples in it. The service was good.

This place is so great, I almost don't want to share it with others so I keep the secret to myself! Good food, decent prices, and also very important -very friendly and helpful staff....

In South Beach on a Sunday, I searched Yelp for a brunch spot and found Oliver's. It's on the side away from the usual tourist spots, and seemed to be very popular with the locals. We got there around 1:00 and waited for about 10 minutes for an outside table. On the weekends a brunch menu is offered along with the regular lunch menu. I started with a blini, which was a fun alternative to a mimosa. The boy ordered blueberry buttermilk pancakes. Two large, fluffy cakes were delicious and made him quite happy. I was very pleased with the mediiterranean flat bread. A thin crust topped with gorgonzola cheese and roasted asparagus, mushrooms, and artichoke hearts was delightful. The hubby went with a calamari salad. The calamari was marinated and grilled before slicing into rings rather than fried. Portions of everything were generous and prices reasonable. Our waiter was charming and attentive. I will happily return if I'm lucky enough to find myself in the area again.

Jennifer J.

Best breakfast in town! & it's served until 3... Oliver's had me with the blueberry pancakes--- & then I tried BANANA! Omg. Haven't tried lunch food yet, but it suuuuuure does smell good! :-)
(5)
Carol C.

I'd give the place 5 stars except I've only been once. BUT HOLY S$#*&, the banana-filled pancakes are sweet perfection. Go for Sunday brunch and dream about them for the rest of the week. Or like for me, the rest of your life. So perhaps order something else if you're only visiting. It'll break your heart to leave. The service was good, prices weren't too SoBe, and the aesthetics and location make visiting pleasant. Everyone else enjoyed their food - no complaints. Oh, except that they don't have Bloody Mary's. Just sayin'. But that's been written about before and there's champagne to save the day.

Francina P.

I went to Oliver's for the first time last weekend, and it will not be my last. The menu is very eclectic, perfect to satisfy any craving. An added plus is that they put their own unique twist to even the most traditional dishes. Take the gnocchi stuffed with ricotta in a 3 cheese sauce- they add pancetta, spinach and grape tomatoes. I'd never tried gnocchi like that before and since it's my favorite pasta, I just had to have it! It looked good on paper and it was even better on my plate! Their fried calamari was pretty good in the sense that the marinara sauce was spicy as advertised, although I wish the calamari had been a little crunchier. For dessert I shared the Chocolate Vesuvio and it was simply sinful! I think the prices are very fair for the quality of the food, portion sizes, and the location. They were not as busy as I expected on a Saturday night but you could definitely tell that most of the patrons were regulars which is always a good sign. Since I was torn between a handful of dishes, I will definitely be back soon and often to give them a try!

Ariana D.

I love this place, I went in for the first time, last time I was in Miami for the WMC, upon a recommendation from my best friend. The food was exquisite, as was the wine & service. The resaurant is hip, but most importantly the food was fabulous, please try it!

Jenaia F.

LOVED Oliver's!!!! Ate here this past Saturday for Brunch. Ordered the eggs benedict and have to admit that I was surprised in a very good way. At first glance, the eggs benny looked a little heavy, but after taking my first bite I knew that I had made the right choice. Not only were they very tasty, but the sauce was light and the eggs were perfectly poached. It was just perfect - and I would know because I've had eggs benedict all over Miami and other cities as well. All of my fellow diners were very happy with their meals too. The husband and mom-in-law ordered the popover. Didn't get to taste it, but they both claimed that the eggs were light and delicious. Father in law had the apple pancakes, which he devoured, so it must have been good. We had great service while there so it was a hit on all levels. Can't wait to go back and check out their lunch / dinner options... or maybe I'll just have the eggs benedict again!

Kathy G.

It never disappoints! I have eaten here since they opened and I've never had a bad meal or bad service. Which on the beach is very rare. On my last visit I came for their Sunday brunch. I had their old fashioned Dutch apple pancake which I love. Service was great. They refilled my coffee quickly and often since I was recovering from a long night out. I had a taste of their Belgian waffles, yum. Someone else had a their bacon cheeseburger and it came with those perfect crispy fries. When I have dinner my favorite is the Tilapia dish and the fettucine carbonara. Yes, I'm drooling here.
(5)
A S.

I have been here a few times and so far, I haven't been disappointed. The food is above average and prices match the quality. I had a couple of slow service times but I didn't see any of those waiters last time I was there. Last dishes we had: Eggs Benedict (not the most incredible but were good. Had them before and will have them again), curry shrimp, which was very mild (I liked it because I can't have spicy and I could eat this) the plantains and mango relish were very good, chicken paillard salad, it was a big size, nothing special about the chicken but mixed with the salad was good. This place has consistent food and it is very clean (including the bathroom). I will keep going back.
(4)
Danilo B.

Oliver's is a casual bistro with great food and great service. I eat there every time I'm in town (about twice per year). The manager, Erik, is great as is the rest of the staff. The food is excellent and prices very reasonable. Try the Escargot or Grilled Calamari appetizers and Tuna, blackened Mahi Mahi or grilled Churasco Steak with chimichurri entrees. Their brunch is awesome! (be sure you get there early - there's a line around the corner even in the off-season)
(5)
ALEJANDRA S.

Oliver's is always a safe bet, very good food, prompt service, prices are affordable. I like the Fettuccine Carbonara and most of the salads. They are always busy, so if you get there stop by the bar and ask for a glass of wine. If you go for brunch on Sundays you'll find a couple of socialites and maybe some celebrities ( I saw Ricky Martin twice ) - The French manager is always willing to accommodate your needs.
(4)
Amber D.

I love you Oliver's! My favorite lunch spot in South Beach. I love the modern decor, super clean. I live for the bread and garlic-ish spread you get when you sit down. Ahhh-mazing! The food is delicious, but sometimes can be a bit bland. I guess it depends on the chef. The best blackened mahi-mahi I've ever had. mmmmm. Great service, the host always remembers us and welcomes us back...I mean since were only there like 4-5 times a month. Haha. Perfect for people-watching!

Sabrina Anna C.

As always, Oliver's is completely satisfying. :) You just can't go wrong when the weather is right, to sit outside and enjoy the sun and scenery from here. :) I was here on Saturday and this time ordered a chicken and brie panini that was out of this world! The service was right on point as always, the food was presented nicely and served promptly, which is always a plus. Especially since I was starving and hadn't yet eaten since the night before. I was a tad disappointed that I missed the late breakfast (ends at 230p), but it was 330 when we got there and I guess I was begging for a lot... I wont hold it against them that I have time issues... Another successful feeding... :) Oh, and one of my personal faves is the Texas Rodeo Burger... It's a MUST-try!

Nice local neighborhood place......we like to sit outside and bring Jack the Maltese.....consistently good food and service for 10 years that I know of ....a pleasant non touristy option for a medium priced and pleasant meal.

Great little neighborhood spot, particularly if you are craving your favorite Italian meal, a couple of glasses of wine or beer, all while enjoying the SoBe weather relaxing outside. 4 of us started with the ceviche and the bruscetta which were about $8 each (as were most of the apps), and although I ordered the seared ahi tuna, i also snuck a couple of bites of wasabi crusted salmon and grilled tilapia which were all seasoned well, portioned well and tasted light and healthy. All entrees were no more than $20, however they also have burgers and salads if you are down for something even more chill. The wine list is simple and affordable (I am sure they have beer too) and the servers were attentive, friendly and weren't pushing us to turn the table. All in all .. a great little spot that I hope to visit again.

Jim W.

Nice spot with plenty of outdoor seating and people watching that gives a nice alternative to Oceans Dr with an expansive menu that is pretty affordable. A buddy of mine lives across the street, so one night while in town for WMC, we hit up Oliver's. Service was polite, but kind of slow, although looking towards the sidewalk provided plenty of distractions. The freshly baked bread and the spread they bring out is excellent here - in fact, my buddies actually thought it was close to the best thing. For appetizers, the escargot and grilled calamari were only so-so, but the cerviche was extremely fresh and hit the spot. The pot that came out with my french onion soup was also so-so. Cheese was done the way I like it, but the soup itself was a bit bland. Was in a pasta mood so I also ordered the fettucine with salmon, also ok. None of my friends were particularly impressed with their entrees either (although I've been told this is generally true in Miami). Despite the unimpressive food, Oliver's still made for a decent meal.

Breakfast seems like such a simple meal to prepare. Eggs, French Toast, pancakes...the breakfast staples. Get the food out at a reasonable clip from the kitchen, refill the coffee. So many places in south beach fail at breakfast. Big Pink takes forever to serve the food, and the food comes out luke warm 1/2 the time. News Cafe excels at speedy service, and great location, but iw way over priced with only slightly above average food. Front Porch has the best breakfast potatoes on earth, but also can take 30 minutes to get the food out once you order. Then I came upon Oliver's. They have mastered breakfast. Unusual items can be ordered such as the dutch apple pancake (yum) or popovers with eggs within. service was quick and efficient, food came out quickly from the kitchen, atmosphere was perfect with 10-15 outfdoor tables under umbrellas. Location is far from the action of Lincold or Ocean Dr...much more relaxing on West Ave. Parking was readily availble (bring quarters). All in all a perfect breakfast experience.

Ron B.

Had lunch today with a friend for a quick bit to eat. I had the house salad with a lemon citrus(?) dressing since I was not so hungry and my friend had the churassco steak and fries. The house salad was decent and the dressing good. I like my salad to be slightly cool not room temperature it loses some of its appeal if it is warm. My friend said the steak was good. I tried the fries but they were oily. The server was fairly new and was adequate for lunch crowds.
(3)
Franky A.

Great local spot that's great for lunch, dinner and brunch. Everything on the menu is solid and it's nearly impossible to make a bad choice. I highly recommend ordering the grilled calamari as an appetizer. The pastas are good and the tuna sandwich is great. The philly sandwich is outstanding! It's great because they have take out too! The place always has a good crowd and it's good for people watching.
(5)
Michelle D.

Waffle back and forth between this place and Balan's. Admittedly, I tend to gravitate towards this place due to proximity. Better people watching at Balan's. Oliver's, however, has excellent food all on its own. Personal favs include the niÃ§oise salad, any number of omelettes (egg options available), soup de jour or salmon entrÃ©e. Take in a nice brunch and stroll at nearby South Pointe Park.
(4)
Jessica P.

A great local spot with a bright tropical atmosphere. This is a good place to go anytime of the day. The prices are a little above what I would expect for the dishes but so far I've been very pleased with this restaurant. I would recommend the Soy Salmon Sandwich, it's got a cucumber aioli on delicious toasted bread. YUM!
(4)
Emily G.

I live very close to Oliver's so my frequent trips can be explained as more convenience than love. Oliver's has some very satisfying meals, but unfortunately, they are often hit or miss. I've had the Salmon with Wasabi sauce cooked to perfection. I've also had the Salmon overcooked and the side vegetables barely edible. The breakfasts are good and well priced for the area. The service is also hit or miss. I've had great attentive wait staff and wait staff that you practically have to beg to refill your water. Not surprisingly, it seems to depend on whether or not the owner is around. Overall the ambiance is excellent. When the weather is good, sitting outside is really nice. Inside is also pleasant. Although the bench seats in the back offer no back support whatsoever. I give the place 4 stars for the ambiance, the wait staff when the owner is around, the food on good nights and the convenience. On off nights, this place can go as low as 2 stars.

Jacie N.

Decent breakfast and drinks. Had the popover. The eggs were cooked with the sausages I think so they were salty and flavorful. The bread part was like the crust off French bread. I always like the soft insides better so it wasn't my favorite, but if you like crust this is just the dish for you! Portions were very large. Wish it came with a side of fruit or something!
(3)
Maggie W.

One Sunday morning, I decided to pop over to Oliver's for a Sunday brunch of, well, popovers. Cheddar-infused eggs and juicy sausages exploding forth from a cheese-encrusted roll? Yes, please! The eggs lived up to the hype, but the popover itself was extremely dry. After drowning the biscuit part in ketchup, it finally grew moist enough to swallow, but no food should require that much ketchup. And this is coming from someone who loves the stuff. The Dutch apple pancake was fantastic, as long as you can tolerate a Willy Wonka amount of sugar. It's like eating a funnel cake, stuffed with caramelized apples, with powdered sugar on top. And don't forget the sugary syrup and caramel garnishing the plate. The portion size is definitely large enough to share (and you really ought to, in order to prevent an early onset of diabetes). Verdict: for its portions, Oliver's gets an "om nom" out of an "om nom nom".

Edgar A.

Great breakfast, awesome place to eat. The all american breakfast was super! Only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars is because the server we had was terrible. It's a shame because all the other servers there seemed to be doing their job right. She wasn't very nice either. We had to ask other servers for water refills and extra condiments because she was nowhere to be found. Either way I recommend eating there for the food.

tanya s.

Yum! Brunch only happens on Sunday and Saturday here, so that was a bummer, but their breakfast is served until 2:30 on weekdays. Breakfast was delicious. I had steak and eggs and my mom and sister had omelettes. We also got an order of French toast. Everything was great, and our waiter, Ty, was lovely. Winner.
(4)
RR M.

Oliver's gets 4 stars for breakfast, but only 3 for lunch & dinner. Their breakfast is always too notch. It's a favorite among South Beach locals, specifically those of us who live on or near West Ave. I love their pancakes. They are slightly crispy, which sounds strange, but makes them unique & delicious. I am not as impressed by their lunch and dinner. The last 2 times I've been, the food has been mediocre. I used to love their gnocchi. It was my go-to dish. But I won't order it again.

*Oliver's popover(the popover itself was a little dry and kind of stale, not sure if it was fresh or not; the eggs were supposed to be with cheese and sausage, I ordered it without sausage because that's not my thing. I got egg whites with cheese and it was pretty good, but definitely needed ketchup and hot sauce haha; I loved the presentation and concept of this dish but I wish the popover itself was better) This place is so cute and is a great brunch spot. Loved our Serbian waiter, so adorable and attentive. Food quality is good. Their pancakes and french toast looked delicious and I would totally order that if I'm ever in the area again.

Serge U.

Amazing! So glad that we managed to stop by there during our trip. Service is professional and courteous, French toast is very good, so is breakfast burrito! Very unique. Breakfast menu is only available before 2 pm, and is only 5 different items or so, very tasty though.

Penny D.

Exceptional food and service. Best breakfast we've had in a long time. I had the corned beef hash, which is made in house, and served with 2 eggs. I don't normally order it at a restaurant because most places use canned stuff. This was the real deal, and it was cooked to perfection. The servers were very attentive, and when our coffee got low they were always ready to refill it. We'll probably visit this place again before we leave. The lunch and dinner menus looked phenomenal as well.

Fabiana B.

The first time I landed in Oliver's was by mistake. My friend and I were headed to another place which turned out to be closed, so we drove by Os and decided to stop. Boy were we surprised. We ordered eggs benedict and pancakes. I am an eggs benedict connoisseur and snob, so my standards were high.--- I can assure you, whoever the chef is here, makes THE BEST eggs benedict in this city. The hollandaise is just velvet, the muffin perfectly toasted, the egg beautifully poached (no runny white or water on the plate).. The potatoes are delicious. I really can't say enough. The pancakes are... HEAVEN. Never had anything like them. They are huge, fluffy, with a little burned crust that blends oh so well with everything. I'm a regular, go at least twice or thrice a month and its consistently phenomenal. Kudos to the owners, chef, and staff. A sobe jewel for sure!

The Egg Benedict are some of the best I've had in South Florida. The popovers are just delicious, the sausage they use is just yum. The fried goat cheese salad is also fantastic! Generous with the goat cheese ;)

Really did not like this place. They wouldn't accommodate that we don't eat pork for religious reasons and switch to turkey for no extra cost. The French toast and omelette was average. The Bloody Mary was so horrible I had to send it back. The service wasn't great.
(1)
AshleyMarie O.

The service was fantastic but I found the food to be worthy of 4 stars. It was good but not great. The ambiance is wonderful, inside and out, cozy and welcoming. For dinner we were a party of 5, so we tried two appetizers, the shrimp and actually we ordered the mussel main course as another appetizer, yum yum yum. The disappointment was dinner. I tried all 5 dishes and we decided one was clearly the winner but not even that great. The stuffed chicken was the winner, the other two dishes were Mahi if I remember correctly (one special and one off the regular menu) and they were ok. I also tried the shrimp curry and the beef bourguignon. meh and meh. I wish I could say otherwise as I had been waiting and wanting to try this place.... maybe I will give it another try.... maybe. Additionally: Not a full bar and very minimum wine selection.

I went here with a partty of eight people while on vacation. The ambience and the staff were great. Our waiter was veymry attentive and helpful in. The food was great. I ordered the tempura firecracker shrimp and the sauce should be bottled and sold. I love the spice of it. The lobster ravioli was great and a "just right" portion. The bread was great and the butter they serve with it..........taste so good. I would eat here again.

The country fried chicken with sausage gravy sitting on top of a cheddar jalapeÃ±o biscuit and topped off with scrambled eggs was amazing! There were so many flavored that worked well together. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a delicious breakfast!

Great formula: nice environment, good service, good food, variety of food, good price! They have breakfast until 2:30 which is great for late starters. Meals are freshly made for you. You won't be disappointed. Because of construction it is hard to get but park in the public lot behind it which off Alton court and 10th.

Been eating at Oliver's for couple years now, definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Miami Beach, always great service, great food! LOVE THEIR FOOD! Awesome ambiance, is a perfect place to go eat and enjoy the company of your friends & family! No wonder It's a favorite among South Beach locals, during the weekends make sure you make a reservation or come ready to wait just a little bit in the bar and try their Bloody Mary!
(5)
Denisse D.

Giving them a 3 only because the area and the eggs! But, I was pretty disappointed in my experience at Oliver's. It has such great reviews on Yelp, so maybe I had my hopes up too high. Had eggs Benedict's with added smoke salmon. While the Eggs Benedict's was really good, the salmon was not. I had to reconstruct my food which I hate doing and ended up putting it on the side of my plate. The eggs however, poached perfectly. Hollandaise sauce was VERY good. I'm picky with this sauce, because there is a science to it. Not everyone gets it right. You can't go wrong with this dish (if you order it as is with Canadian bacon of course lol) Mimosa I had with my brunch was eh. Cheap champagne, which is my fault for not asking what kind it was served with. Also, I expected to have some fresh squeezed OJ with that and nope, store bought I'm sure. I mean I'm in SoBe so I assumed it would be just a little better quality. To put the cherry on the top, my server messed up my check and then argued with me about it?! Lol I tell you, sometimes people just don't know how to read, or interpret a menu. She then sent over the manager who when came over and said " You wanted to talk to me?" And I said "uh no, but since you're here I guess it's needed." He didn't even let me finish, I showed him the minor discrepancy and he fixed it immediately. This place is really cute, and quiet. A perfect area away from all the noise on SoBe, so I was really pleased with their setting. I'm willing to give them a second chance, but only if I'm dragged there by a friend. Hope this helps, Enjoy!

Rather a hidden gem on the west side of South Beach. All of the elements that matter were present... We were brought in and seated immediately, the staff was very professional, quick and friendly... The restaurant was clean and our drinks and food came out in a timely manner. We got the steak and eggs; cooked just right, quite flavorful with the house home fries which were the best I've maybe ever had. Our other dish: Blackened fish tacos which were generous in size, filled with fresh big pieces of fish and just the right sauce/stuffings to make it a little drippy and that kinda yummy that makes you want to lick your fingers - only it's not that kinda place. We were here for Brunch. Do not miss this place. It's exactly what you need if you're looking to get away from the mad cacophony of the strip.

Decided to try this spot since it was down the street from our hotel. What a pleasant surprise! Very quaint and comfortable, it made you forget that you were surrounded by random spots that paled in comparison. The highlight was my mom's seafood linguini- the flavor was awesome! I ordered spaghetti bolognese and my father had the blackened mahi mahi. Everyone was pleased with the flavor and dishes came out piping hot. The dessert was outstanding! We had an apple, raisin strudel with fresh whipped cream! *Swoon* It hit the spot. The cheesecake was also amazing. Overall, definitely a hidden gem with awesome service, perfect location and a lot of variety!

I've been to Olivers a few times and I've enjoyed it very much. The service is actually pretty good, attentive which is quite difficult to find in any SoBe restaurant. Unfortunately when it comes to review a place you take into consideration the location, the food, ambiance and other factors. The problem that I see in Olivers is the food. Sometimes you get a great experience and sometimes you don't, from a quite good dish you can get a non impressive one the next time. It seems that some meals focus more on serving you a big portion instead of being a balanced and delicious moderate portion. For breakfast I have received from a really very well prepared omelette to an overcooked and dry scrambled egg and bread. From a dish with a small side, to a dish with no side at all. The location is really good but unfortunately it lacks its own parking.

Just had dinner here. Outstanding overall. Food, service; definitely try the grilled calamari! Great location, ample parking, not too pricey... Haagen, the owner has owned some of my favorite restaurants in Miami going back to the 1970s.

I love this neighborhood spot. Away from the normal Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive craziness. Brunch gets busy but they turn tables fast. Nice outdoor seating and indoors as well. The servers are attentive and polite. For brunch, I always get the Oliver's Popovers stuffed with scramble eggs, sausage and cheese. One critic...sometimes the Popover bread is too dry. The only other place that preps Popovers very well is BLT steak. Otherwise, I've been here about 4 times and the food is consistent including the Corn Beef Hash. Get there before 12 on Sundays as it gets busy but nice Sobe crowd :)

A favorite place to dine with my daughter and husband . We can walk there and they have crayons to keep my lil one occupied. The customer service as well as food quality and portions keep us coming back. Today for breakfast we shared the steak and eggs. You get a NY strip..three eggs..potatoes and toast. Good for the price.

My boyfriend and I came her on our last night in Miami and were very pleased with our experience. Natasha was a amazing waitress with great recommendations. I had the blackened Mahi which was delicious and he had the salmon which was also amazing!We will definitely be back on our next trip to Miami! I was a great ending to our trip.

Great, breakfast spot away from the hustle of the touristy beach area. Inside or outside dining with great customer service from beginning to end. We went for breakfast ( create your own omelette -w a side of pico and American breAkfast w side of pancakes). Our meals were fantastic, although I wish they had a few more items to choose from and some non pork breakfast meats. Parking garage located on same block or you can take your chances on the street. Sorry-no food pics as I was so freaking hungry this morning I was halfway thru my omelette when I remembered (not a pretty culinary site). Check the web but presentation was great. Check it out if you're in town. I' ll be back for sure.

Great place for fatty food if you don't have any food allergies OR care how your food is cooked OR care what you eat......... I have eaten here over 50 times in the past 4 months. Tonight, on New Years Eve, I ordered the surf and turf (reasonably priced at $39.50). The lobster was completely overcooked to the point it was mushy, and the bearnaise sauce was poured over both the filet and mashed potatoes, and it tasted horrible compared to their regular bearnaise sauce that Oliver's regularly serves with their filets. Worst, the owner was called over to "rectify" and instead of recognizing the kitchen did wrong, he got upset at me because I said something. The last time I ate dinner there with friends (a couple days ago), we were not offered the customary bread basked (we went without), and I specifically asked for no parsley on my pasta. Sure enough, my dish came out COVERED in parsley. I ate it anyway because it was lobster ravioli and I didn't want such an expensive dish to go to waste. Our calamari was also grossly overcooked - again - I said nothing. And this was at least the FIFTH TIME+ I had asked that no parsley be put on my meal, yet EXTRA parsley magically appears on everything in this restaurant, which I've always unhappily eaten, paid and tipped generously. I've ordered things like the $20ish vegetable plate (with tofu). I was told it came with a portabella mushroom. I love mushrooms so I said yes to mushrooms then it came with no portabella. When I asked if I could get the portabella that comes with the dish, they sent out half a piece of a portabella mushroom and they told me it was "cooked for another customer" but I could have it. I tried to eat here on Thanksgiving but couldn't. I have an allicin allergy and cannot eat onions, plus I cannot digest brussel sprouts. The chef made turkey with onion mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts (and was adamant about NO substitutions). The only horrible dish I had here (other than tonight) was the gnocci. I had ordered two entrees that night because I was STARVING. I took the gnocci home and threw it in the trash. I again, constantly paid and put up with bad food experiences thinking it would earn me customer loyalty points some day - not. I've eaten here so many times because it's next door, there's almost nothing else on this side of West Ave (please - someone open a restaurant for us because it seems there are lot of disgruntled locals with this place!), some of the food is really good, there is an awesome chef there Monday/Tuesday evenings, Bridget the bartender is fabulous, and the female host is wonderful. BUT, the above bad experiences (and more) have put such a bad taste in my mouth, I won't be going back and I'm not sure I could recommend it either. I've tried to tell people about this place because for a while I thought it was FABULOUS, but no one ever shared my feeling - and in a few short months I know why. I like places that recognize regular local business and cherish it......hint hint Oliver's - get a clue!!! A clue for customers - the massive negative feedback about service is being ignored, soooooo - order your food then shut up, eat it and pay. It doesn't matter if you get what you ordered or if the food is good - just eat and pay. Got it? Welcome to another typical South Beach experience!!!

Great breakfast spot near Mondrian. Cafe con leche was delicious as hell. Had the 3 egg omelette and it was also very tasty from their brunch menu. My friends and I were on 4 hours sleep with booze in the blood so didn't really feel like partaking in the mimosas but I'm sure they are delicious.

Started with the muscles and spicy sausage. Tried the Calamai salad, schnitzel, and center cut tuna steak. All very different and very good! Apple strudel was amazing too. Thinly sliced apples and gooey crust with vanilla ice-cream. No complaints here!

Stopped by for brunch Ordered a sangria at the bar Hadn't even looked at the menu (because she didn't offer me one) I've had the sangria here before and loved it This one tasted absolutely disgusting. It had obviously spoiled. I informed the bartender that there was something wrong with it She apologized I asked her to make me a new one She said "sorry it's premixed and I would have to make a new batch for you. Guess what lady: THATS YOUR JOB AS BARTENDER Needless to say I'm not hanging around to order food and I doubt I will come back for that kind shitty ass services

Great breakfast, awesome place to eat. The all american breakfast was super! Only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars is because the server we had was terrible. It's a shame because all the other servers there seemed to be doing their job right. She wasn't very nice either. We had to ask other servers for water refills and extra condiments because she was nowhere to be found. Either way I recommend eating there for the food.

Pavnit K.

I feel like a fellow reviewer really hit the nail on the head regarding the food and service. Let's start with the positives. This a little hidden gem in a quiet part of Miami. The food here is pretty amazing. The dutch apple pancakes were just sinfully delicious. They had this amazing crust that was super addicting and the apples were the right balance between crisp and soft. My friend got the waffles and they were also fluffy and delicious. We shared the egg, sausage and cheese popover. The eggs within the popover were cooked perfectly. The popover, on the other hand, was just average. As another reviewer pointed out, it was on the dry side. The service was pretty average. I understand we were two girls ordering a lot of food, but I would think that was our call and not our servers. She questioned our order and why we would want to order so much. We really wanted to try several items on the menu and could not decide. Other than that, there was really nothing exceptional regarding service.

Kate G.

I came here for the brunch and the sausage egg popover on Labor Day weekend, but warning they won't serve that on a weekend. It was the main reason why I came here so was disappointed. The Eggs Benedict was classic and good. I didn't like onions in the potatoes that came with it. The gnocchi with vodka sauce was mediocre. The vodka sauce was disappointing - tasted more like half/half sauce instead of vodka sauce - but gnocchi was okay. Patio looks into a building under construction so not a great view. However, the service was good.

JP S.

Just went here last night for the very first time and was disappointed. Why 2 stars? Because our service was TERRIBLE. The only reason it's getting 2 instead of 1 is because the food was above average. If you do go to Oliver's, make sure you don't have the waiter who is tall, with short blond hair and seems to be in his late 20's-30's. I wish I saved the receipt so I could remember his name. 2 other tables who sat after we had arrived left before we even got to ordering dessert. So with my luck, my friend and I got the shitty waiter that night. I see everyone giving this place a great review so I thought this place was a no brain-er. I can see why some of these reviews are valid, but I guess they never sat in this guy's section before. We ordered fried calamari, and it was good... nothing to yelp about, but also nothing to complain about. The cocktail sauce was as plain as it gets, nothing very distinct about it but it was not bad. I haven't service that bad in a while, and I was upset because my Salmon sandwich was actually good. Our bottle of wine (Nobilo) was also great. This was my first time at Oliver's, and it's most likely my last. A first impression is always important especially when dining out, and my expectations fell short. I've gotten better service at Denny's around 4am! There was an older gentlemen with glasses on who looked like he was the owner or manager, and I had to literally get up from my chair and ask this guy for our bill because our waiter had his head up in the clouds. I have to admit, I don't like to try out new restaurants that much especially in South Beach and now I remember why.

Just went there couple days ago as i was in town for Winter Music Conference and thank god for my local friend that suggested the place. It was quet away from everything. The food was amazing Grilled Calmari to die for, Tomato Burrata Salad amazing so was the tilapia. The only downfall was the service waitress didn't seem to want to be there at all and at the end of the night as the seats were still full and they had just finished serving food they started to activly clean and take candles of the tables which was very disturbing as we wanted to finish our cocktails. I do suggest it for the food.

If I ever tell you that I'll meet you for breakfast on a weekend, don't bother setting your alarm clock. Just wait for that text from me that says something like, "I woke up with laryngitis, meningitis, I would rather sleep than eat breakfast-gitis." It's not so much that I was lying to you when I agreed at 2am that we should do breakfast, it's that I was lying to myself that I'd actually do it. Brunch, breakfast food that can be enjoyed in the afternoon, is the perfect alternative (though I might flake on that too...) Oliver's treasonous eggs are worth getting out of bed for. I'll admit, poached eggs and bacon are just an excuse to put hollandaise sauce on something, but, as someone who knows a few things about morning excuses, it's a good one.

French toast, eggs, bacon and a wasabi bloody mary on the patio. Perfect Sunday morning, great brunch! The portions were huge and service prompt. Definitely worth a try if you're in the neighborhood.

First of all, read my other reviews and you'll see that I am not typically a disgruntled customer. I'd been a loyal Oliver's customer for 3 years. But today the nasty management lost a customer, along with the out-of-towners and locals I routinely bring there and recommend it to. Went in alone for a quick breakfast on my way to a gig. Outside was crowded but inside was empty. I had a half-hour, which I mentioned up front and was perfectly happy go elsewhere if they couldn't accommodate that time frame. I know it can be a pain when people are in a rush. I approached someone in a uniform and inquired as to how long a specific menu item might take (I already knew what I wanted). He told me, and asked if that's what I wanted. I answered in the affirmative, when a woman behind the bar in hipster dark-framed glasses interrupted, saying, "He's a bus boy. He can't take your order," in a curt tone that made me feel embarrassed for the poor bus boy who was trying to be so helpful. So I said, "OK, what should I do?" She said a waiter would have to take my order. When I asked how long that would take, she said it depended on where I sat. I said I was happy to sit wherever she wanted me to, since I was in a rush and trying to be helpful. And, in an empty restaurant -- knowing I'd be gone in about 25 minutes -- she sent me to a table in the corner facing a wall. After a few minutes wait, the manager came over and tried to give me a menu; I told him that I already knew what I wanted, and without a word, he walked away, I assumed to summon a waiter. Not so. After another several minutes, I went back to the woman at the bar, who knew I was in rush, remember, and asked her if a waiter would take my order soon. A waiter standing at the bar said, "Oh, you can just order right here if you don't mind eating at the bar." Which I didn't mind at all, but didn't know why the woman didn't recommend that from the get-go. When I asked her, she gave me a nasty look, at which point I decided I didn't want to eat there anymore. The manager came over to ask what happened, and the woman said, "She can't just walk in and order from the first person she sees!" (Remember, I was inquiring about whether or not they could serve me in the time I had, and the bus boy offered to take my order.) When I tried to explain this to the manager, he kept interrupting me. Clearly, he wasn't interested in listening. I took my business a few doors down to Gusto Vino & Cafe, a new cafe, with extremely quick, very friendly service, fresh food, delicious coffee served with steamed milk, and really nice dÃ©cor. If you're looking to eat on West Ave. give Gusto a try instead.

Just moved here at the beginning of the year right across from Oliver's and can't believe it took me this long to eat here. Just chillin outside under the umbrellas is very relaxing and love to people watch. Had the All American Breakfast and it was great, at a good price and great presentation. Going to start eating here once a week

Really enjoyed breakfast. Sat outside little chilly as it was January but heaters were on. Eggs - delicious, soft and fluffy. Bacon super crisp and sweet. Huge pancakes - choc chip worked very well. Vodka infused Sake bloody mary - great. Coffee ok. Nice place for breakfast - will go back.

Located at West and 9th in Sobe, I decided the second I turned the corner that it was a gay hangout. Only male waiters, albeit hot ones...and hot gay couples with matching shirts! *awww* We walked in and there was a family of 6 in the middle having brunch, then we didn't feel like we were invading some kind of private party/violating some kind of code. :) Service was good, our waiter was attentive and even gave us "instructions" on how to eat the Oliver's popover! Ha! 1. Egg benedict with smoked salmon - You could choose the salmon option for $3 in addition to the $8.50. It was wonderfully done, the hollandaise sauce wasn't overly creamy. Perfecto in my standards. 2. Oliver's popover - A croissant type pastry baked like a mushroom with a cheese omelette and sausage inside. It was kinda too much one friend, the other loved it. 3. Bellini cocktail - The perfect way to start a Saturday brunch! I liked it...but I will probably stick to my mimosas next time! A little too way for me to come for brunch but a great place to bring visitors...brunch at Oliver's and then off to Sobe! :) Tip-bits: If you park across Alton on 9th St...in the residential area..it's free! Brunch from 9am-3pm (it was written on the board that day we went)

Today I went with two of my friends to Oliver's and it was excellent! Kira had breakfast (waffles to be exact and they were delish!!), Montse had chicken curry (it looked good) and I had the chicken, bacon, and brie sandwich, which was excellent! The fries were tasty, too :) Overall, the restaurant is super clean, our waitress was super nice, and it is a great place to spend Sunday morning (or afternoon) having a relaxing meal.

My friend took me here on a hot hungover Sunday and the food totally hit the spot. It was her birthday, so we actually came back and ate dinner here as well and yes we got practically the same thing It's nice because it's on West Ave. and not Lincoln aka you avoid the crowds and sometimes jacked up prices and the atmosphere is quaint and fits the normal Miami scene: big outdoor orange umbrellas, trendy inside. We ordered the Ceviche and the Greek Salad to split. The ceviche was very fresh and cool for a hot day in Miami. It was coated with a citrus marinade dressing and had onion slices mixed with octopus, squid, and shrimp. Very tasty. The Greek salad was huge and was topped with the grilled calamari. The original dressing was a bit heavy for my tastes, so when we came back for dinner we substituted it for their lime vinaigrette which made it even better. They had huge chunks of feta cheese in it which made it an even bigger winner for me. What is a brunch without a mimosa? Oliver's were very fresh and smooth. They also start you off with some warm bread that comes with a creamy herb spread, but they also have balsamic and oil if you prefer to dip in that. The only negative thing that I have to say about the experience is that I think the waitress forgot we were outside and it took her about 15 minutes to check on us to get the bill, but we had no issues in the evening. Oh yea! For brunch they have these pancakes that I kept seeing walking by me and smelling and they looked divine!!! Each pancake was almost an inch thick, so I have to go back to try them because seemed quite popular.

A brunch place known for its umbrellas and being a neighborhood favorite. I was really hoping to love this place but shortly after arriving I knew that this place wouldn't be the one for me. Oliver's will hold a reservation for a large party and the staff is helpful. However, our server was clearly upset about our table. The menu seemed huge at first but isn't that large or overwhelming really. There is only a beer and wine place so: mimosas: si bloody marys: no We started off with a delicious salmon and brie on crostini appetizer. As for the main event I ordered banana french toast and my friend/brunch accomplice Ramon C ordered an omelet and we shared one another's plates. Nothing was amazing, just overall ok. Although I would go back and try it again. I must say the management here is very cool and they will work with their clients. I found the management to be fair, respectful, and helpful. Our server seemed unhappy to be dealing with our table which was unfortunate as that always affects the gathering one way or the other. If you like dining al fresco, come to Oliver's, have a mimosa, start with the salmon and brie. As mentioned in other reviews the portions are generous so be aware when ordering.

Had a great brunch here yesterday with some awesome Yelpers - seems every event I go to I have the pleasure of meeting a yelper I haven't met before - this time I finally got to meet Theo H. Thanks Maria et al. for waiting for us to arrive before ordering :-) When we got to the table an order of toasted bread/bagel slices with brie & salmon had been ordered - it was delicious. I really like the option to incorporate brie into the dishes here, since it's such a sweet and soft cheese, the flavor is mild and seemed to compliment well the dishes I tasted with it. As Greshka mentioned, we shared the omelet and it was the perfect size, left us full enough to still be able to enjoy the beach immediately after in our bikinis (read, no over stuffed belly here) - so if you don't like to eat too much or get full easily, I recommend sharing. Maria's banana stuffed french toasts looked DELICIOUS, and Jeff's apple pancake was HUGE and also delicious looking. The staff was present and quick, but not overly friendly, which was fine, since we were pretty much talking with each other the whole time, so they didn't come to interrupt frequently. You can buy all the mimosas you want here, but if you'd like that hair of the dog bloody mary, you're in the wrong place. Nothing that an order of tomato juice, pepper, tabasco sauce, lemon and some smuggled-in-(out of view)-vodka can't fix. I'd like to come back and try a dessert here one of these evenings, or maybe even a glass of wine while relaxing with friends over a nice conversation. I really liked that this place is on West Ave. away from the hustle and bustle of south beach.

Away from the ghetto-ness of SoBe, this place was a breath of fresh air. Great service and great food. We ordered the Calamari Greek salad and the Chicken Brie...both were great.

Christopher K.

Service is good, doubly so, since I am outside the city. The food is just a little left of the mark. The yogurty stuff with the bread was great. The calamari was horrible, and the steak is good but sadly a little overdone. A piece of meat like this needs to be warm and still quivering. But as always, it comes back to the service, which was great. My waiter was a slender young bloke with glasses and close cropped hair. He's good. Keep an eye out for him and tip him well.

I cannot believe I held off going to Oliver's for this long! I met up with a friend for lunch, but as it was so hot, we chose a table inside where it was nice and cool. They have a Saturday and Sunday brunch menu which looks enticing but I wasn't in the mood for breakfast fare. I must admit, as of late, I have been on a serious ceviche craze and I quickly decided, after a brief perusal of the plentiful lunch menu, that this day would be no exception. I bet big on Oliver's ceviche with no regrets as it was refreshing and adequately sized. On this hot Saturday afternoon, Oliver's unsweetened iced tea hit the spot. For an entree, I selected the seared ahi tuna sandwich on ciabatta with seasoned fries, and once again, I was not disappointed! A huge sandwich was put in front of me and I went to town on it! SImply delicious; a clean flavor, no flashy business or foofoo garnishings; just a great sandwich with a dash of wasabi mayonnaise and refreshing ginger complimented with crisp, hot skinny fries with just an ideal amount of seasonings. The crowd was light for a Saturday afternoon; I have seen it fairly packed to the rafters as it sits on one of my more frequented bicycle itineraries; like us, most people eschewed the outdoor tables under the oversized orange umbrellas, selecting the indoors instead. The decor is simple but aesthetically pleasing, by the way.

Was visiting Miami and had a groupon to this restaurant. The visit didn't start up well. The restaurant was full of flies, both inside and outside of the restaurant. Never been in a restaurant with more flies. Flies on the lights, flies on the silverware, flies on the plates. Told the server about the problem, but was ignored. "They're just fruit flies." Like that makes it acceptable. No, they were not fruit flies but large flies. Wanted to leave, but had a groupon and grudgingly decided to stay. The server had a bit of a non-caring attitude; polite but uncaring. Looked at the menu; very unremarkable run of the mill food. Asked about the special, was told there is no special before 6 pm. Asked about what kind of special is usually available, was told mainly seafood. First time in a restaurant where you had to press to understand the restaurant's special. The owner was there at the bar going over the receipts oblivious to the customers. Ordered Texas burger. Burger was good. Actually wanted to add a salad, but was so put off by the flies that didn't want to risk ordering something raw or not cooked. Ordered a tiramisu and a coffee. Tiramisu was good, but the coffee was crap. Whole time busy swatting flies while eating. Paid with groupon, and was met with a 'oh, groupon customer...' and was pretty ticked off. Bottom line, would not go back and would not recommend this place to anyone. Can't understand how they passed the city inspection with so many flies flying around. All they need to do is to install fly lamps in and outside of the restaurant.

For Dinner, pass. The menu looks creative but the dishes but are low on flavor and are a bit too sugary or salty to make up for what they're lacking. FYI -THEY DO NOT SERVE LIQUOR. Please note, this post is based on the opinions of a San Francisco and Chicago food snob.

I ate there a few days ago and it was my second time. First time I went, I ordered breakfast and it was great. No complaints and the price is very fair being it is on West Ave... I ate there again a few days ago and got dinner. Again, the food was great... The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because both times I was there, there were flies inside. Now I know this happens when you have food everywhere but it gets annoying when they are landing on your food. I know they have outside seating too and it makes it easier for the wait staff when they are going in and out to just leave the door open. I would recommend they close it and then there would be a 5 start rating...

Seeing good reviews on Yelp and noting the nice location away from all the noise of the main drag in South Beach, I headed to Oliver's for breakfast. The location is nice especially to sit outside and people watch while you dine. The breakfast was OK but nothing special. Overall a nice and chill spot...

LOVED Oliver's!!!! Ate here this past Saturday for Brunch. Ordered the eggs benedict and have to admit that I was surprised in a very good way. At first glance, the eggs benny looked a little heavy, but after taking my first bite I knew that I had made the right choice. Not only were they very tasty, but the sauce was light and the eggs were perfectly poached. It was just perfect - and I would know because I've had eggs benedict all over Miami and other cities as well. All of my fellow diners were very happy with their meals too. The husband and mom-in-law ordered the popover. Didn't get to taste it, but they both claimed that the eggs were light and delicious. Father in law had the apple pancakes, which he devoured, so it must have been good. We had great service while there so it was a hit on all levels. Can't wait to go back and check out their lunch / dinner options... or maybe I'll just have the eggs benedict again!

It never disappoints! I have eaten here since they opened and I've never had a bad meal or bad service. Which on the beach is very rare. On my last visit I came for their Sunday brunch. I had their old fashioned Dutch apple pancake which I love. Service was great. They refilled my coffee quickly and often since I was recovering from a long night out. I had a taste of their Belgian waffles, yum. Someone else had a their bacon cheeseburger and it came with those perfect crispy fries. When I have dinner my favorite is the Tilapia dish and the fettucine carbonara. Yes, I'm drooling here.

I have been here a few times and so far, I haven't been disappointed. The food is above average and prices match the quality. I had a couple of slow service times but I didn't see any of those waiters last time I was there. Last dishes we had: Eggs Benedict (not the most incredible but were good. Had them before and will have them again), curry shrimp, which was very mild (I liked it because I can't have spicy and I could eat this) the plantains and mango relish were very good, chicken paillard salad, it was a big size, nothing special about the chicken but mixed with the salad was good. This place has consistent food and it is very clean (including the bathroom). I will keep going back.

Oliver's is a casual bistro with great food and great service. I eat there every time I'm in town (about twice per year). The manager, Erik, is great as is the rest of the staff. The food is excellent and prices very reasonable. Try the Escargot or Grilled Calamari appetizers and Tuna, blackened Mahi Mahi or grilled Churasco Steak with chimichurri entrees. Their brunch is awesome! (be sure you get there early - there's a line around the corner even in the off-season)

Oliver's is always a safe bet, very good food, prompt service, prices are affordable. I like the Fettuccine Carbonara and most of the salads. They are always busy, so if you get there stop by the bar and ask for a glass of wine. If you go for brunch on Sundays you'll find a couple of socialites and maybe some celebrities ( I saw Ricky Martin twice ) - The French manager is always willing to accommodate your needs.

I love you Oliver's! My favorite lunch spot in South Beach. I love the modern decor, super clean. I live for the bread and garlic-ish spread you get when you sit down. Ahhh-mazing! The food is delicious, but sometimes can be a bit bland. I guess it depends on the chef. The best blackened mahi-mahi I've ever had. mmmmm. Great service, the host always remembers us and welcomes us back...I mean since were only there like 4-5 times a month. Haha. Perfect for people-watching!

As always, Oliver's is completely satisfying. :) You just can't go wrong when the weather is right, to sit outside and enjoy the sun and scenery from here. :) I was here on Saturday and this time ordered a chicken and brie panini that was out of this world! The service was right on point as always, the food was presented nicely and served promptly, which is always a plus. Especially since I was starving and hadn't yet eaten since the night before. I was a tad disappointed that I missed the late breakfast (ends at 230p), but it was 330 when we got there and I guess I was begging for a lot... I wont hold it against them that I have time issues... Another successful feeding... :) Oh, and one of my personal faves is the Texas Rodeo Burger... It's a MUST-try!

Nice local neighborhood place......we like to sit outside and bring Jack the Maltese.....consistently good food and service for 10 years that I know of ....a pleasant non touristy option for a medium priced and pleasant meal.

Great little neighborhood spot, particularly if you are craving your favorite Italian meal, a couple of glasses of wine or beer, all while enjoying the SoBe weather relaxing outside. 4 of us started with the ceviche and the bruscetta which were about $8 each (as were most of the apps), and although I ordered the seared ahi tuna, i also snuck a couple of bites of wasabi crusted salmon and grilled tilapia which were all seasoned well, portioned well and tasted light and healthy. All entrees were no more than $20, however they also have burgers and salads if you are down for something even more chill. The wine list is simple and affordable (I am sure they have beer too) and the servers were attentive, friendly and weren't pushing us to turn the table. All in all .. a great little spot that I hope to visit again.

Nice spot with plenty of outdoor seating and people watching that gives a nice alternative to Oceans Dr with an expansive menu that is pretty affordable. A buddy of mine lives across the street, so one night while in town for WMC, we hit up Oliver's. Service was polite, but kind of slow, although looking towards the sidewalk provided plenty of distractions. The freshly baked bread and the spread they bring out is excellent here - in fact, my buddies actually thought it was close to the best thing. For appetizers, the escargot and grilled calamari were only so-so, but the cerviche was extremely fresh and hit the spot. The pot that came out with my french onion soup was also so-so. Cheese was done the way I like it, but the soup itself was a bit bland. Was in a pasta mood so I also ordered the fettucine with salmon, also ok. None of my friends were particularly impressed with their entrees either (although I've been told this is generally true in Miami). Despite the unimpressive food, Oliver's still made for a decent meal.

Breakfast seems like such a simple meal to prepare. Eggs, French Toast, pancakes...the breakfast staples. Get the food out at a reasonable clip from the kitchen, refill the coffee. So many places in south beach fail at breakfast. Big Pink takes forever to serve the food, and the food comes out luke warm 1/2 the time. News Cafe excels at speedy service, and great location, but iw way over priced with only slightly above average food. Front Porch has the best breakfast potatoes on earth, but also can take 30 minutes to get the food out once you order. Then I came upon Oliver's. They have mastered breakfast. Unusual items can be ordered such as the dutch apple pancake (yum) or popovers with eggs within. service was quick and efficient, food came out quickly from the kitchen, atmosphere was perfect with 10-15 outfdoor tables under umbrellas. Location is far from the action of Lincold or Ocean Dr...much more relaxing on West Ave. Parking was readily availble (bring quarters). All in all a perfect breakfast experience.

Had lunch today with a friend for a quick bit to eat. I had the house salad with a lemon citrus(?) dressing since I was not so hungry and my friend had the churassco steak and fries. The house salad was decent and the dressing good. I like my salad to be slightly cool not room temperature it loses some of its appeal if it is warm. My friend said the steak was good. I tried the fries but they were oily. The server was fairly new and was adequate for lunch crowds.

Franky A.

Great local spot that's great for lunch, dinner and brunch. Everything on the menu is solid and it's nearly impossible to make a bad choice. I highly recommend ordering the grilled calamari as an appetizer. The pastas are good and the tuna sandwich is great. The philly sandwich is outstanding! It's great because they have take out too! The place always has a good crowd and it's good for people watching.

Michelle D.

Waffle back and forth between this place and Balan's. Admittedly, I tend to gravitate towards this place due to proximity. Better people watching at Balan's. Oliver's, however, has excellent food all on its own. Personal favs include the niÃ§oise salad, any number of omelettes (egg options available), soup de jour or salmon entrÃ©e. Take in a nice brunch and stroll at nearby South Pointe Park.
(4)
Jessica P.

A great local spot with a bright tropical atmosphere. This is a good place to go anytime of the day. The prices are a little above what I would expect for the dishes but so far I've been very pleased with this restaurant. I would recommend the Soy Salmon Sandwich, it's got a cucumber aioli on delicious toasted bread. YUM!
(4)
Emily G.

I live very close to Oliver's so my frequent trips can be explained as more convenience than love. Oliver's has some very satisfying meals, but unfortunately, they are often hit or miss. I've had the Salmon with Wasabi sauce cooked to perfection. I've also had the Salmon overcooked and the side vegetables barely edible. The breakfasts are good and well priced for the area. The service is also hit or miss. I've had great attentive wait staff and wait staff that you practically have to beg to refill your water. Not surprisingly, it seems to depend on whether or not the owner is around. Overall the ambiance is excellent. When the weather is good, sitting outside is really nice. Inside is also pleasant. Although the bench seats in the back offer no back support whatsoever. I give the place 4 stars for the ambiance, the wait staff when the owner is around, the food on good nights and the convenience. On off nights, this place can go as low as 2 stars.
(3)
Bert N.

During my short stay in Miami, I knew I had to try out this great brunch place and it was delicious. I had the Seared Ahi with Wasabi Mayo Sandwich. Wow, that wasabi mayo is a perfect compliment to the scrumptious Ahi. Also came it with a side of salad which was lightly dressed. Worth the 15 minute walk into the thunderstorm from Lummus.

I eat at this place every single time I go to Miami Beach on vacation. The atmosphere, food and service is top notch. Coming from NYC I feel you should take my word for it. I have eaten at a lot of restaurants. Check it out!

Bottom Line: Great restaurant for locals, Great food at a decent price. Pros: Pastas, burgers, and fancier food. All at a good price (Servings are always generous). Location for locals. Great relaxed seating w/ relaxed atmosphere... looks kinda upscale but is actually pretty casual. Wait staff is very helpful. Cons: Can't think of any off the top of my head. This place gets a 4 star because the food isn't too memorable.

KC C.

I love Oliver's- I go there a few times every month, and I've tried a lot of things on the menu. Their brunch is awesome; I really like the omelet and their belgain waffle is a sugary morning treat. Their dinner is just as good, which is important if I'm going to visit a restaurant regularly. I've had most of the chicken dishes, which are all tasty. My favorite go-to dinner is their burger, which is one of the best on the beach (and reasonably priced). I'm always really happy with their service, too. I saw that a reviewer below was unhappy with his service, and that's never been true for me. If you get an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert, you can bet that other tables will be finished before you-- that's the way restaurants work. I regularly have either the tall guy with blonde hair or the tall, skinny guy with short dark hair as my waiter, and they're both perfect-- they don't hang over your table (which makes me uncomfortable), but they're always refilling my water at the right moment. Finally, this restaurant is a great place to sit outside and enjoy Miami Beach without having to sit on Ocean Drive amidst all of the craziness. I sat across from J. Lo. once, and I also sat next to Calvin Klein once. You can't beat that for a good, truly neighborhood restaurant.

Where do I start?? I don't spend much time at all in the Miami Beach area but I was there so we figured to try out a near by place. Yelp brought this one up really quick and it was suggested as a nice brunch spot. From the moment we walked up the service was less than hospitable. The gentleman told us it would be a 10 min wait for an outside table. We were waiting 15 mins and saw two other groups seated before us, including a gentleman with a lil dog than had just walked up. The gentleman said that he would seat us next and that he forgot about us, how do you forget about someone who is standing in front of you? The waitress we had was very nice. The food wasn't too bad. I got the Dutch Apple Pancakes...extremely sweet. But once again the rest of the staff seemed extremely bitter about being there. If anyone from that resturant is reading this please...if you hate your job that much find another one.

Wai H.

The Menu looked good, prices were ok, service was ok. We had three items on the menu and they were all very good. Huge Salad. Cobb Salad was very tasty. Then on to the Lobster Ravilo. they were amazing, cooked just right and not too much sauce. very good. Also had the Chicken Flatbread. Chicken was cooked perfectly, not dry and not undercooked. the seasonly was just right, not salty.
(4)
Amy Kapuanani A.

Went to Oliver's for Mother's Day at 10am and had excellent service from Eddie, our waiter who continually made sure we had everything we needed. The Dutch apple pancake was divine and so was the fruit plate. Definitely recommended. It got super busy by 11am so if you want to just sit and eat, come early.

Lanie R.

Before you continue to read please scroll down to the first paragraph of Florence Y.'s review. With that said. I strolled in here with a girlfriend for Sunday brunch. We were the table that smelled and had fungus growing on it. As we sat in our deserted and ostracized table we watched pretty boy one walk in, be seated, given water, and attended right away. Then in came prettier boy two, walk in, seated, given water, and attended. And then when you thought they couldn't get prettier walked in prettier boy four with prettier boy-boyfriend five, you get the drift. My friend was craving the shrimp and brie quesadilla's so we sat through the torture. The torture of terrible service and the torture of just sitting and gazing at so many pretty boys. I notice many of the trays of foods coming out of the kitchen portions were pretty big. I saw a french toast plate that tested my patience. It sat looking at me from my neighbors table with it's plump and juicy self whispering "come and get it". Everything looked really yummy. We both ordered the quesadilla's and I was not dissapointed at all. It was toasted just perfect with black bean, corn, shrimp, and brie cheese. The brie cheese was soft enough to not over power all the other flavors. They served it with guacamole, salsa, and their own special sauce that was sour cream based but I don't know what it was. The food was good and I can't complain about that. All in all unless I come back with some guy friends I will think twice before returning despite how good the food was and looked.

Great, off-the-tourist-path place for brunch in Miami Beach! The popovers with scrambled eggs were very tasty! (Tip for vegetarians - they will happily make them without sausage!)

My boyfriend and I wanted a restaurant which offer both good vegetarian and meat selections, and Oliver's fit our needs perfectly. I had the popover and he the Mediterranean flatbread. We also had the Cafe con leche. We both really enjoyed our brunch here. The restaurant is beautiful and a little distance away from the busy part of South Beach. So if you want a nice quiet place to spend your morning, I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Dani B.

I am not thrilled with Oliver's... It is fine and if you are in the area the grilled calamari salad is pretty good. The eggs are drenched in butter even when you ask them to cook them without any butter at all.

Bradley A.

Have been to S Beach many time but usually dine around the Collins or Ocaen ave area. What a gem to discover off the beaten path. This place delivered above my expectation in atmosphere, menu, prices and service. Illy coffee, prosecco wine and excellent cerviche. Will most definitely make this a choice stop when visiting again. Italian flair very well appointed and delivered.
(5)
Jackie B.

Oh my!! The butter spread and homemade bread is beyond yummy and amazing...if I could only eat that all day/night long, I would!! I have been a fan for 2 years now! I love how it is more for locals and enjoy that it is away from all the noise/tourists that comes with being/living on the beach. I usually have my Greek salad with grilled calamari. I can't say how delicious it is and how fresh the dressing tastes! I think my only 2 complaints are parking and it's a hit or miss with the staff. Some days they are great and other days not so much. Overall, love the food, the decor, and the location!
(4)
Peter C.

Slow, inattentive service coupled with COLD COFEE killed any chance of getting 3 stars. Location is nice for brunch/people-watching, though general breakfast items are average. But the cold coffee, straight from the pot, right when the restaurant opened at 10AM on a Saturday, is a good clue that I am drinking leftovers from last night. Gawd, would it kill them to at least wash the pots and brew a new batch?

Nice romantic scenary, good food & the service was fine. Somewhat limited room inside, outside area is nice for people watching although it's not a high traffic area of South Beach. Reminds me of restaurants found on Lincoln Road. Prices were standard and the restaurant is worth checking out at least once.
(3)
Eric H.

I have been three times now. I always try to wait a few times before I write or tell someone about a restaurant. With that said. The prices here are fair to great. The portions if anything are too big (but its a locals place and we can walk home with our leftovers), but are an amazing value. I have eaten here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All the time the food was spot on and delicious. Wine list is good. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. If there were a negative its that there isn't enough outdoor seating on a beautiful day. But isn't that the case with all restaurants on South Beach.
(5)
Kim H.

I live a stone's throw away from Oliver's and I go fairly often for dinner, which is always very good and reasonably priced. However, I recently stopped in one Saturday morning for brunch with my sister and had one of the best Belgian waffles ever. We both ordered the same thing, The Belgian waffle with whipped cream, syrup and fresh fruit on the side with a cafe con leche. So yummy, it was a great way to start the day!
(5)
Gina V.

I've only ever had the veggie plate (5 or 6 times, it's that good). Lots of grilled veggies over buttery rice. Very tasty and filling, and you can add grilled tofu if you want the extra protein. It's a great place to eat if you want to sit outside with your dog, they're very pet friendly. Convenient, too. You can usually find nearby parking and there's a garage right there that doesn't cost a fortune. Service is usually good although last time I was there during Sunday brunch time and we didn't see much of our waiter.
(4)
J M.

I went back a second time in one week. I couldn't resist ordering the blackened Mahi Mahi again. But this time I asked it to have the sides of mango chutney, jasmine rice, and fried plantain. I like these sides better than the limebutter, mashed potatoe they offer it with on the menu. Yumbo!
(5)
Katia M.

Great food and great wine list, first off. This probably isn't somewhere I could afford to go to on a regular basis, but I happened to have dinner there, and everything was great. There was water brought for the dog, lots of wine, very nice food presentation, and great ambiance. We happened to catch a nice night, so the outside patio was the perfect spot to be. Service was a bit cool, but nothing to complain about by any means. Very, very good food here.
(5)
AJ H.

Stick to the standards here -- eggs, bacon, potatoes. The eggs benedict is good. But the latte was lousy, the "maple syrup" was your standard maple flavored corn syrup trash, and the "Dutch apple pancake" was just a regular pancake with apples in it. The service was good.

In South Beach on a Sunday, I searched Yelp for a brunch spot and found Oliver's. It's on the side away from the usual tourist spots, and seemed to be very popular with the locals. We got there around 1:00 and waited for about 10 minutes for an outside table. On the weekends a brunch menu is offered along with the regular lunch menu. I started with a blini, which was a fun alternative to a mimosa. The boy ordered blueberry buttermilk pancakes. Two large, fluffy cakes were delicious and made him quite happy. I was very pleased with the mediiterranean flat bread. A thin crust topped with gorgonzola cheese and roasted asparagus, mushrooms, and artichoke hearts was delightful. The hubby went with a calamari salad. The calamari was marinated and grilled before slicing into rings rather than fried. Portions of everything were generous and prices reasonable. Our waiter was charming and attentive. I will happily return if I'm lucky enough to find myself in the area again.

Jennifer J.

Best breakfast in town! & it's served until 3... Oliver's had me with the blueberry pancakes--- & then I tried BANANA! Omg. Haven't tried lunch food yet, but it suuuuuure does smell good! :-)
(5)
Carol C.

I'd give the place 5 stars except I've only been once. BUT HOLY S$#*&, the banana-filled pancakes are sweet perfection. Go for Sunday brunch and dream about them for the rest of the week. Or like for me, the rest of your life. So perhaps order something else if you're only visiting. It'll break your heart to leave. The service was good, prices weren't too SoBe, and the aesthetics and location make visiting pleasant. Everyone else enjoyed their food - no complaints. Oh, except that they don't have Bloody Mary's. Just sayin'. But that's been written about before and there's champagne to save the day.
(4)
Francina P.

I went to Oliver's for the first time last weekend, and it will not be my last. The menu is very eclectic, perfect to satisfy any craving. An added plus is that they put their own unique twist to even the most traditional dishes. Take the gnocchi stuffed with ricotta in a 3 cheese sauce- they add pancetta, spinach and grape tomatoes. I'd never tried gnocchi like that before and since it's my favorite pasta, I just had to have it! It looked good on paper and it was even better on my plate! Their fried calamari was pretty good in the sense that the marinara sauce was spicy as advertised, although I wish the calamari had been a little crunchier. For dessert I shared the Chocolate Vesuvio and it was simply sinful! I think the prices are very fair for the quality of the food, portion sizes, and the location. They were not as busy as I expected on a Saturday night but you could definitely tell that most of the patrons were regulars which is always a good sign. Since I was torn between a handful of dishes, I will definitely be back soon and often to give them a try!

Ariana D.

I love this place, I went in for the first time, last time I was in Miami for the WMC, upon a recommendation from my best friend. The food was exquisite, as was the wine & service. The resaurant is hip, but most importantly the food was fabulous, please try it!
(5)
Julia V.

My husband and I went to Miami Beach for my birthday, and I have very high standards being from NYC, but Oliver's was great. Located in the most active part of South Beach on the intracoastal side, it was a short drive from our hotel. I had the potato gnocchi with peas. parmesan, and vodka sauce. The sauce was exceptionally rich and creamy with a lot of umami flavor. My husband ordered the beef bourguignon with carrots, pearl onions, and potatoes. The burgundy wine sauce was peppery and delicious, and the beef was delightfully tender and fell apart easily without the use of a knife. We shared the bruschetta for an appetizer and I was surprised by the quality. My husband and I paired it with a well-enjoyed Merlot for a $12 corkage fee. All in all, I think if I were vacationing in Miami Beach again I would consider for dinner, and I am considering it for the well-renown brunch on Sunday. But I can definitely recommend it for dinner.
(4)
ChÃ©rie G.

Ideal location. The food was great. The reason I give this review four stars is because of customer service and manager. I walked right through the restaurant and made it to the bar before someone saw me (the bartender). She advised me the manager was outside and he would seat me (wrong). Someone else brought me to my seat. The manager was too busy making sure his "top/favorite" guest were taking care of. That really took away from my experience. Please try the apple pancakes it's really good ! Stay away from the oven pop-over if you don't like want a big stack of dry bread. My server was excellent !!
(4)
Lori W.

I love Oliver's not only because it's conveniently located right across the street from my apartment but also because they have great food, outdoor seating and attentive staff. What more could you ask for? Everything I've tried thus far from their menu has been on point as has their service.

Lisa C.

We stopped in here for breakfast on Saturday. As we were wanting to head to the beach. Oliver's seemed like the logical choice. The location is not hard to find, it's bright orange umbrellas make it quite easy to spot. Though parking I imagine can be a struggle on big holidays or large event days. However, we did not encounter any issues finding street parking. We went in the late morning so the inside was empty and the outside was lively and busy. We selected inside just to escape the heat for a little bit. And we were greeted and sat immediately. The decor in the restaurant is very chic. I felt like I entered someone's well designed outdoor living space rather than a restaurant. It was very well designed, and had a well organized bar. The service was on point, the gentleman that assisted us was fantastic. Extremely professional, knowledgable, and timely. Our food was excellent as well. I ended up with the Belgian waffles, with an upgrade from fruit to the strawberries and cream. Hands down that was the best decision all day. My friend got the bowl of strawberries and cream. Though 8$ it was worth it when you see how much you received. In addition she also got the 2 eggs any way and she mentioned that everything was tasty and well cooked. For drinks, I'm going to highly recommend the bellinis. They were tasty and not too overpowering. And stronger than most that we have encountered during our trip. All in all if you are looking for breakfast that is well worth the price in a great restaurant. Do not miss Oliver's. You won't regret it.

Rosie V.

Great service. Good food. The smoked salmon, cream cheese and caviar on potato pancakes were delicious! I could've gone for another plate of these. The popover filled with eggs, cheddar and sausage was tasty but nothing I would return for, the bread was also a little burnt for my taste. The hash and 2 sunny side eggs were really good after adding some salt and pepper. However, it was missing toast or a biscuit. I wouldn't order the Sangria again. Lacked the fruity flavors this drinks usually has.
(3)
Jacie N.

Decent breakfast and drinks. Had the popover. The eggs were cooked with the sausages I think so they were salty and flavorful. The bread part was like the crust off French bread. I always like the soft insides better so it wasn't my favorite, but if you like crust this is just the dish for you! Portions were very large. Wish it came with a side of fruit or something!
(3)
Maggie W.

One Sunday morning, I decided to pop over to Oliver's for a Sunday brunch of, well, popovers. Cheddar-infused eggs and juicy sausages exploding forth from a cheese-encrusted roll? Yes, please! The eggs lived up to the hype, but the popover itself was extremely dry. After drowning the biscuit part in ketchup, it finally grew moist enough to swallow, but no food should require that much ketchup. And this is coming from someone who loves the stuff. The Dutch apple pancake was fantastic, as long as you can tolerate a Willy Wonka amount of sugar. It's like eating a funnel cake, stuffed with caramelized apples, with powdered sugar on top. And don't forget the sugary syrup and caramel garnishing the plate. The portion size is definitely large enough to share (and you really ought to, in order to prevent an early onset of diabetes). Verdict: for its portions, Oliver's gets an "om nom" out of an "om nom nom".

Yum! Brunch only happens on Sunday and Saturday here, so that was a bummer, but their breakfast is served until 2:30 on weekdays. Breakfast was delicious. I had steak and eggs and my mom and sister had omelettes. We also got an order of French toast. Everything was great, and our waiter, Ty, was lovely. Winner.

RR M.

Oliver's gets 4 stars for breakfast, but only 3 for lunch & dinner. Their breakfast is always too notch. It's a favorite among South Beach locals, specifically those of us who live on or near West Ave. I love their pancakes. They are slightly crispy, which sounds strange, but makes them unique & delicious. I am not as impressed by their lunch and dinner. The last 2 times I've been, the food has been mediocre. I used to love their gnocchi. It was my go-to dish. But I won't order it again.

*Oliver's popover(the popover itself was a little dry and kind of stale, not sure if it was fresh or not; the eggs were supposed to be with cheese and sausage, I ordered it without sausage because that's not my thing. I got egg whites with cheese and it was pretty good, but definitely needed ketchup and hot sauce haha; I loved the presentation and concept of this dish but I wish the popover itself was better) This place is so cute and is a great brunch spot. Loved our Serbian waiter, so adorable and attentive. Food quality is good. Their pancakes and french toast looked delicious and I would totally order that if I'm ever in the area again.

Exceptional food and service. Best breakfast we've had in a long time. I had the corned beef hash, which is made in house, and served with 2 eggs. I don't normally order it at a restaurant because most places use canned stuff. This was the real deal, and it was cooked to perfection. The servers were very attentive, and when our coffee got low they were always ready to refill it. We'll probably visit this place again before we leave. The lunch and dinner menus looked phenomenal as well.

Fantastic brunch for our last day in Miami. Prices weren't too bad, fantastic mimosas, and great flavor. Definitely will return! The sausage links were particularly good in my breakfast plate - not too greasy, not too chewy. Enjoy!

Whether you're doing Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner service and quality are always great. Always consistent... It's not a tourist trap and parking is fairly easy.

The best breakfast in SoBe I have been able To find on my 7 visits here. They know their eggs. The scrambled eggs are the creamiest you have ever had. The staf is Nice and professional. Service is quick. You can dit outside onder the trees and inside in the airco. Do it!

The first time I landed in Oliver's was by mistake. My friend and I were headed to another place which turned out to be closed, so we drove by Os and decided to stop. Boy were we surprised. We ordered eggs benedict and pancakes. I am an eggs benedict connoisseur and snob, so my standards were high.--- I can assure you, whoever the chef is here, makes THE BEST eggs benedict in this city. The hollandaise is just velvet, the muffin perfectly toasted, the egg beautifully poached (no runny white or water on the plate).. The potatoes are delicious. I really can't say enough. The pancakes are... HEAVEN. Never had anything like them. They are huge, fluffy, with a little burned crust that blends oh so well with everything. I'm a regular, go at least twice or thrice a month and its consistently phenomenal. Kudos to the owners, chef, and staff. A sobe jewel for sure!

The Egg Benedict are some of the best I've had in South Florida. The popovers are just delicious, the sausage they use is just yum. The fried goat cheese salad is also fantastic! Generous with the goat cheese ;)

Really did not like this place. They wouldn't accommodate that we don't eat pork for religious reasons and switch to turkey for no extra cost. The French toast and omelette was average. The Bloody Mary was so horrible I had to send it back. The service wasn't great.

The service was fantastic but I found the food to be worthy of 4 stars. It was good but not great. The ambiance is wonderful, inside and out, cozy and welcoming. For dinner we were a party of 5, so we tried two appetizers, the shrimp and actually we ordered the mussel main course as another appetizer, yum yum yum. The disappointment was dinner. I tried all 5 dishes and we decided one was clearly the winner but not even that great. The stuffed chicken was the winner, the other two dishes were Mahi if I remember correctly (one special and one off the regular menu) and they were ok. I also tried the shrimp curry and the beef bourguignon. meh and meh. I wish I could say otherwise as I had been waiting and wanting to try this place.... maybe I will give it another try.... maybe. Additionally: Not a full bar and very minimum wine selection.

I went here with a partty of eight people while on vacation. The ambience and the staff were great. Our waiter was veymry attentive and helpful in. The food was great. I ordered the tempura firecracker shrimp and the sauce should be bottled and sold. I love the spice of it. The lobster ravioli was great and a "just right" portion. The bread was great and the butter they serve with it..........taste so good. I would eat here again.

The country fried chicken with sausage gravy sitting on top of a cheddar jalapeÃ±o biscuit and topped off with scrambled eggs was amazing! There were so many flavored that worked well together. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a delicious breakfast!

Great formula: nice environment, good service, good food, variety of food, good price! They have breakfast until 2:30 which is great for late starters. Meals are freshly made for you. You won't be disappointed. Because of construction it is hard to get but park in the public lot behind it which off Alton court and 10th.

Had an awesome Sunday brunch at Oliver's with a group of 6. We were able to get a table with no wait time at about 11am. Everyone tried something different but evey item was delicious. I highly recommend the french toast and the omelettes.

Jose I.

Been eating at Oliver's for couple years now, definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Miami Beach, always great service, great food! LOVE THEIR FOOD! Awesome ambiance, is a perfect place to go eat and enjoy the company of your friends & family! No wonder It's a favorite among South Beach locals, during the weekends make sure you make a reservation or come ready to wait just a little bit in the bar and try their Bloody Mary!

Denisse D.

Giving them a 3 only because the area and the eggs! But, I was pretty disappointed in my experience at Oliver's. It has such great reviews on Yelp, so maybe I had my hopes up too high. Had eggs Benedict's with added smoke salmon. While the Eggs Benedict's was really good, the salmon was not. I had to reconstruct my food which I hate doing and ended up putting it on the side of my plate. The eggs however, poached perfectly. Hollandaise sauce was VERY good. I'm picky with this sauce, because there is a science to it. Not everyone gets it right. You can't go wrong with this dish (if you order it as is with Canadian bacon of course lol) Mimosa I had with my brunch was eh. Cheap champagne, which is my fault for not asking what kind it was served with. Also, I expected to have some fresh squeezed OJ with that and nope, store bought I'm sure. I mean I'm in SoBe so I assumed it would be just a little better quality. To put the cherry on the top, my server messed up my check and then argued with me about it?! Lol I tell you, sometimes people just don't know how to read, or interpret a menu. She then sent over the manager who when came over and said " You wanted to talk to me?" And I said "uh no, but since you're here I guess it's needed." He didn't even let me finish, I showed him the minor discrepancy and he fixed it immediately. This place is really cute, and quiet. A perfect area away from all the noise on SoBe, so I was really pleased with their setting. I'm willing to give them a second chance, but only if I'm dragged there by a friend. Hope this helps, Enjoy!

Rather a hidden gem on the west side of South Beach. All of the elements that matter were present... We were brought in and seated immediately, the staff was very professional, quick and friendly... The restaurant was clean and our drinks and food came out in a timely manner. We got the steak and eggs; cooked just right, quite flavorful with the house home fries which were the best I've maybe ever had. Our other dish: Blackened fish tacos which were generous in size, filled with fresh big pieces of fish and just the right sauce/stuffings to make it a little drippy and that kinda yummy that makes you want to lick your fingers - only it's not that kinda place. We were here for Brunch. Do not miss this place. It's exactly what you need if you're looking to get away from the mad cacophony of the strip.

Decided to try this spot since it was down the street from our hotel. What a pleasant surprise! Very quaint and comfortable, it made you forget that you were surrounded by random spots that paled in comparison. The highlight was my mom's seafood linguini- the flavor was awesome! I ordered spaghetti bolognese and my father had the blackened mahi mahi. Everyone was pleased with the flavor and dishes came out piping hot. The dessert was outstanding! We had an apple, raisin strudel with fresh whipped cream! *Swoon* It hit the spot. The cheesecake was also amazing. Overall, definitely a hidden gem with awesome service, perfect location and a lot of variety!

I've been to Olivers a few times and I've enjoyed it very much. The service is actually pretty good, attentive which is quite difficult to find in any SoBe restaurant. Unfortunately when it comes to review a place you take into consideration the location, the food, ambiance and other factors. The problem that I see in Olivers is the food. Sometimes you get a great experience and sometimes you don't, from a quite good dish you can get a non impressive one the next time. It seems that some meals focus more on serving you a big portion instead of being a balanced and delicious moderate portion. For breakfast I have received from a really very well prepared omelette to an overcooked and dry scrambled egg and bread. From a dish with a small side, to a dish with no side at all. The location is really good but unfortunately it lacks its own parking.

Just had dinner here. Outstanding overall. Food, service; definitely try the grilled calamari! Great location, ample parking, not too pricey... Haagen, the owner has owned some of my favorite restaurants in Miami going back to the 1970s.

Angelo R.

I love this neighborhood spot. Away from the normal Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive craziness. Brunch gets busy but they turn tables fast. Nice outdoor seating and indoors as well. The servers are attentive and polite. For brunch, I always get the Oliver's Popovers stuffed with scramble eggs, sausage and cheese. One critic...sometimes the Popover bread is too dry. The only other place that preps Popovers very well is BLT steak. Otherwise, I've been here about 4 times and the food is consistent including the Corn Beef Hash. Get there before 12 on Sundays as it gets busy but nice Sobe crowd :)

Love this place! Its great for breakfast brunch lunch or dinner or take out. You can never go wrong. Food is always fresh and quick, service is great.

A favorite place to dine with my daughter and husband . We can walk there and they have crayons to keep my lil one occupied. The customer service as well as food quality and portions keep us coming back. Today for breakfast we shared the steak and eggs. You get a NY strip..three eggs..potatoes and toast. Good for the price.

My boyfriend and I came her on our last night in Miami and were very pleased with our experience. Natasha was a amazing waitress with great recommendations. I had the blackened Mahi which was delicious and he had the salmon which was also amazing!We will definitely be back on our next trip to Miami! I was a great ending to our trip.

Great place for fatty food if you don't have any food allergies OR care how your food is cooked OR care what you eat......... I have eaten here over 50 times in the past 4 months. Tonight, on New Years Eve, I ordered the surf and turf (reasonably priced at $39.50). The lobster was completely overcooked to the point it was mushy, and the bearnaise sauce was poured over both the filet and mashed potatoes, and it tasted horrible compared to their regular bearnaise sauce that Oliver's regularly serves with their filets. Worst, the owner was called over to "rectify" and instead of recognizing the kitchen did wrong, he got upset at me because I said something. The last time I ate dinner there with friends (a couple days ago), we were not offered the customary bread basked (we went without), and I specifically asked for no parsley on my pasta. Sure enough, my dish came out COVERED in parsley. I ate it anyway because it was lobster ravioli and I didn't want such an expensive dish to go to waste. Our calamari was also grossly overcooked - again - I said nothing. And this was at least the FIFTH TIME+ I had asked that no parsley be put on my meal, yet EXTRA parsley magically appears on everything in this restaurant, which I've always unhappily eaten, paid and tipped generously. I've ordered things like the $20ish vegetable plate (with tofu). I was told it came with a portabella mushroom. I love mushrooms so I said yes to mushrooms then it came with no portabella. When I asked if I could get the portabella that comes with the dish, they sent out half a piece of a portabella mushroom and they told me it was "cooked for another customer" but I could have it. I tried to eat here on Thanksgiving but couldn't. I have an allicin allergy and cannot eat onions, plus I cannot digest brussel sprouts. The chef made turkey with onion mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts (and was adamant about NO substitutions). The only horrible dish I had here (other than tonight) was the gnocci. I had ordered two entrees that night because I was STARVING. I took the gnocci home and threw it in the trash. I again, constantly paid and put up with bad food experiences thinking it would earn me customer loyalty points some day - not. I've eaten here so many times because it's next door, there's almost nothing else on this side of West Ave (please - someone open a restaurant for us because it seems there are lot of disgruntled locals with this place!), some of the food is really good, there is an awesome chef there Monday/Tuesday evenings, Bridget the bartender is fabulous, and the female host is wonderful. BUT, the above bad experiences (and more) have put such a bad taste in my mouth, I won't be going back and I'm not sure I could recommend it either. I've tried to tell people about this place because for a while I thought it was FABULOUS, but no one ever shared my feeling - and in a few short months I know why. I like places that recognize regular local business and cherish it......hint hint Oliver's - get a clue!!! A clue for customers - the massive negative feedback about service is being ignored, soooooo - order your food then shut up, eat it and pay. It doesn't matter if you get what you ordered or if the food is good - just eat and pay. Got it? Welcome to another typical South Beach experience!!!

I've been coming here for the past 2 years now and I absolutely love it. Everything I try has not been an upset yet. EVERYTHING is yummy and whatever you're in the mood for they have. Cannot go wrong with this place. Has something on the menu for everyone to leave with a smile on their face. :)))

Great, breakfast spot away from the hustle of the touristy beach area. Inside or outside dining with great customer service from beginning to end. We went for breakfast ( create your own omelette -w a side of pico and American breAkfast w side of pancakes). Our meals were fantastic, although I wish they had a few more items to choose from and some non pork breakfast meats. Parking garage located on same block or you can take your chances on the street. Sorry-no food pics as I was so freaking hungry this morning I was halfway thru my omelette when I remembered (not a pretty culinary site). Check the web but presentation was great. Check it out if you're in town. I' ll be back for sure.

** 3.5 star** Decent brunch place - not as touristy as a lot of other places. 2 order of sunny side up eggs with toast and potaoes = $14.00. Breakfast menu is till 11 am, but they continue a smaller/ limited breakfast selection with their lunch menu as well. I had initially ordered the grilled fish tacos. They looked yummy, but one bite and I could have no more. Firstly, the fish tasted deep fried rather than grilled (but the server confirmed this was their version of grilled). the texture of the fish was also off - it was rubbery and dry, super tasteless. However, they did not mind taking it back for me and getting me some eggs instead. They are pet friendly - lots of doggy owners were having brunch here. Service can be a hit or a miss, but all in all I think they did ok..

Janet L.

I went to Oliver's today for brunch after realizing that my Groupon would expire in about a week. We arrive and parking is surprisingly easy, there was a metered garage just behind the building. We were seated and had to wait for a while before we were attended to but when our server finally came around to us, she was extremely friendly. The food did take very long to arrive. My friend ordered the french toast with fruit and i ordered the popovers. My popovers were good, but nothing to rave over. The french toast was great. Orange juice was fresh but it should be at $4.50 a glass. Overall, the food was good, service was friendly but slow, and the atmosphere is nice. Good place to bring your dog or kids, or to watch other people's dogs...or kids.

Caro C.

I've been here twice. Once for brunch and once for lunch. The food is fine. That is the best way to describe it. Nothing is "great" which is why I've given two stars. Waitstaff is fine too. Just got the feeling they don't go out of their way for great service nor great food. The waitstaff make you feel your doing them a favor by eating there. Even when the place is empty we waited on cocktails while we watched two waiters chatting away with each other.

Oliver's is a cute little restaurant tucked away in South Beach. My suggestion is that you skip the food and eat the delish appetizers. The grilled calamari was to die for. The hummus platter amazing!! The smoked salmon with potatote pancakes delish! The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because the check was $90.00 for lunch. Although I do not mind paying for good food, I felt that this was a bit pricey for what it was.

Alyssa J.

We are obsessed w/ Olivers! Locals that never made it here finally did so after getting a Groupon and we were in love from the moment we sat down. Adorable place, clean, casual but with a "nice" feeling, and the nicest servers ever. Exactly what a local place should be. Everything came quickly and was amazing - sweet potato fries especially! They are very dog friendly too which is nice. Slightly on the high end of "moderate" pricing (but not ridiculous) which is not uncommon for the area but puts it a little too high to come here as much as we would like. It would be great to add something like a "locals lunch/dinner" menu or offer more groupons etc. (Or - if Olivers is reading - join a program like Idine which would be WONDERFUL :) Wish all restaurants were like Olivers :)

Julia C.

Don't eat here much for anything but brunch (though I have a few times and it's been good) but come often for the Eggs Benedict and Steak & Eggs, both of which I think are done very well and fairly priced. Great atmosphere with mostly locals. Good European-style service also. A perennial fave.

Marisa S.

I live across the street. So, this place is an easy choice for me. They really have great options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But, I have to say that breakfast/brunch wins when you are talking pancakes! I sound like a gotton, but they are thick, huge and perfect. Go nuts and get the banana pancakes and you wont be dissapointed. Great outdoor seating, too. My only complaint is that the dinner items are overpriced for it being a local spot. But, it is good.
(4)
Gracie D.

This place is great! We landed in Miami starving and just kind of stumbled in, but I'm so glad we did! My fiancee, his father and myself all have VERY different ideas about what makes a good meal, but each of us was able to fulfill our expectations and fill our bellies! It was truly delicious, and not too expensive (especially for the area). Make the trip and pay them a visit!

Marc Aka Max H.

Consistently good quality food with attentive service. Try edaname as appetizer is cooked just right. Many good pasta dishes. Wine by bottle not unreasonable. Crowd varies from young momie's and daddy's with babies to hipster South Beach gay boys. Worth it!

Kelly P.

Living right across the street, I already knew this place was great for brunch and lunch. The Greek Salad with grilled calamari is just perfect! Recently I tried one of their entrees, and I don't regret that! The sushi grade ahi tuna was perfect! And it comes with wasabi mashed potatoes, wow. I never ever eat potatoes, mashed or not. Simply don't like them. But I finished almost all of the mashed potatoes on the plate, so good! The service is ok, depending on the server. There is this guy that I love, don t know his name but he is very friendly and funny. On the other hand, there is also a man that is kinda rude and still doesn't seem to recognize me even though I come here almost every week. But the great food, good atmosphere (no your typical SoBe spot, relaxed and local) and perfect location on West Avenue deserve 5 stars. I'll be back to try more entrees!
(5)
Patricia P.

This is my second time going back to Olivers. We have been served by a nice funny Peruvian server that gives great service. Both times I order the Greek Salad with grill Calamari, highly recommended. Next time I'll order the Ceviche that our serves keeps recommending, and we will ask for the same waiter for more laughs!!!

This review is of the brunch menu. Basic brunch menu overpriced, then try to get what you really want. Make any substitutions and you'll be charged way more! With prices already high the substitution charges become ridiculous - $2 for egg whites, $1 for wheat, just a few examples. 2 stars for location and atmosphere. Food - OK, but it's hard to mess up eggs when you charge $20 for an omelette.

decided to check out olivers for a girls wknd recap sunday brunch. the wait was minimal for an outdoor table, and although they have a few fans and plenty of shade, the miami heat is too intense. the service was nice and fast, but nothing extraordinary. the coffee was delicious. i dont know if i just really needed a caffeine fix, but wow it was good. the egg, cheese, and sausage popover was possibly my favorite breakfast dish ive ever had. every bite was practically perfect. the prices were very reasonable, especially for south beach standards. i will be back.

Kristina T.

Living on West Ave, the convenience factor of Oliver's is through the roof. I literally just have to walk down the street to have a good meal at Oliver's. I have eaten at Oliver's 3 times and each time, the food was just OK. As a vegetarian, there weren't many choices for me, and I think I have pretty much had all of the options. The first time I went, I had the zucchini salad and added the marinated tofu. The salad was so bland, really nothing special. But the tofu was very tasty. I've also eaten the vegetable wrap, which was standard, veggies on a tortilla wrap. The fries were pretty good, though. For dinner one night, I had the buccatini with veggies. IT WAS SO SPICY!!! There was no indication on the menu that it was spicy. And I didn't think to ask because it's pasta with veggies on top, how could that be spicy? Well, I think the noodles must have been made with extra pepper in them because my mouth was having a spice explosion! I will definitely go back to Oliver's for the mere reason that it is so close and convenient. I want to try their brunch because the menu looked really delicious.

A nice place. We are brunch there and we recommend to try the smoked salmon on flat brie bread. It is a bit on the expensive side.

Patty ..

I'm really sad with the whole experience today and was hoping for better based on the reviews. $4.50 Fresh OJ, Side of Sausage Links [some what cold] and French Toast served very cold, told the server however he acted as if he did NOT understand and walked away. When they brought the butter it was frozen [why do restaurants do this?]. Couldn't even eat the food tried to wave the waiter down he noticed but continued to pour coffee to the other folks and never stopped by. When he did he took the plate never offered to bring another, sad sorry nothing on top of that brought the bill with the French Toast on it. Serious, I'm not paying for something I tried to send back 2x but no one seemed to cared. When the waiter got upset w/my asking to remove the charge the manager then came over I explained he even didn't seem to care. Just b/c you have a regular following shouldn't give you the right to dismiss customer service and food quality b/c if you don't continue either of these you will be missing the main ingredient to the restaurant customers!

amy s.

My husband and I stopped here for lunch after a long morning walk. I love the sidewalk seating (which obviously isn't hard to find in the area) but the food was somewhat disappointing. I ordered the seafood soup as a starter which had a lot of seafood in it (calamari, clams, mussels, some sort of white fish) but the overall taste was somewhat bland and there was a lot of oil floating on top of the soup. For my meal I ordered the mahi mahi sandwich- it was slightly dry- i ended up using some of my salad dressing to give it more flavor and jazz it up a bit. My husband had the kobe sliders and again said they were dry and was borrowing my dressing for his meal too! The best part was the sweet potato french fries! They were very well done, crispy and warm with a little bit of sweetness.

Tito B.

AMAZING! THIS IS AS GOOD AS FOOD GETS! I stumbled onto this place and am so glad I did. They serve the best hummus I have ever tasted, with warm, delicious pita bread. I ate the vegetarian platter with marinated tofu and I have been making tofu this way at home since. I could not believe such a simple dish could be so magnificent. The salads are huge, the calamari was delicious, the risotto was out of this world. I can't say enough about Oliver's. Go there now, you'll thank me later!

Cecile S.

We came here after a yelp event that was being hosted near by. Parking was surprisingly easy directly in front of the restaurant. If you know Sobe this is not common. The outdoor seating was so enjoyable on this chilly november night. The service was excellent. The beer was moderately priced no great deal here. For dinner I had the steak sandwich and my friend had the chicken. Both were delish! I loved the laid back but still trendy feel. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

Brunch Deliciousness!!! You can not go wrong. Oliver's has both indoor and outdoor seating. Affordable prices, wonderful menu options, scrumptious fare, and an attentive staff. Killer eggs benedict, if that's your kind of thing.

Jade P.

Great food, reasonable prices, not so good service. I had the blackened mahi mahi- very well cooked and extremely flavorful. The remoulade sauce is probably one of the tastiest things I've ever had! My friend had the kobe beef sliders and he thought they were a bit bland. Another friend had the salmon sandwich and we were all very impressed by the portion size, as well as by how well seasoned everything was. A great place to people watch and relax on a weekend. The service is a bit slow, so only come in if you have time to eat a leisurely meal.

Heather L.

Would recommend: - French Toast - Pop-over - Cafe con leche Would not recommend the eggs benedict which were overcooked and the hollandaise was unimpressive. They did give me a plate of replacement eggs, but I still would not recommend this dish.

Absolutely TERRIFIC food. My family members are here the other night, before I got to town, and liked it so much we went back. Very glad we did! Tonight we had: chicken schnitzel; curry shrimp with plantains and jasmine rice; fried tofu; and a large house salad with excellent house dressing. The bread and butter which preceded it were delicious. And another nice thing: they didn't charge us the cost of a cup of tea if we just wanted hot water! (Two other restaurants in Miami Beach wanted to charge us for hot water. One waiter said it's because of the energy they have to expend to heat the water. Crazy.)
(5)
Tati Z.

I really liked the breakfast but can't wait to come back for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday. I want to try the Dutch apple syrup pancakes and popovers (I believe is the name). This time around came on a Friday and had the Oliver's country skillet which was delicious and extra thick French toast with bananas! I came back for brunch and it was really good but the service was a little slower. I have to say that between Oliver's country skillet and popovers I prefer the country skillet. Also they should have a special for bottomless brunch drinks for a specific charge like Tongue and Cheek has for their brunch.

We are coming here for the last few months often and I have to say this is one of the best breakfast places in Beach. Today we had egg Benedict's and All American and it was delicious!!! Our server was Joy and she was really nice, maybe the best server here. For sure we are coming back here!!

EVETHING IN THE MENU IS GOOD! I've been in miami for 10 years alredy and I go to this place all the time because the food in this place is delicious. They don't have a full bar, but if you live in miami you need to try they food, very consistent. Love the outside tables!

Lauren S.

Love it here. I am from Detroit, but when I am in Miami, I cant wait to go to Oliver's. The menu is so inviting, things you want to eat. Staff is friendly and good looking. Outside is comfy and pretty well covered to make it enjoyable in the Miami heat. Considering I usually stay at Fontainebleau where the prices for water are $8 a bottle, its also reasonable! Cant wait for my next trip back.

Awesome, non-touristy breakfast place! Decent food and decent prices! My friends and I came across this place as we were strolling towards SoBe. It was pretty vacant, so we were able to score outdoor seating. We ordered a round of mimosas and saw that they offered pitchers of sangria, so we asked if they had pitchers of mimosas as well. Unfortunately, our waitress confirmed that they did not offer mimosas by the pitcher, but did suggest that it'd be more cost efficient if we get a cheap bottle of champagne and a side of orange juice instead. Of course we opt for the latter! We also ordered several breakfast items to share: Oliver's Country Skillet, Corned Beef Hash, Extra Thick French Toast, Large Buttermilk Pancakes with Strawberries, and Large Buttermilk Pancakes with Bananas. Everything was fresh and tasty! I particularly liked the pancakes and beef hash. The pancakes were thick and extra fluffy. The beef hash wasn't overly seasoned and tasted great. Service was awesome too!

Great brunch! Great! Meals came out quick and service was pleasant. I had some type of egg puff pastry thing, can't remember the name, but delicious. You should try it!

Amazing breakfast. I have never been disappointed with anything i have ordered here. The blueberry pancakes are spectacular with a slight crispy crust. I think this place has many regulars and gets crowded later on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The outside seating is great for people watching. I have been here twice for dinner and same holds true as breakfast. Everything was delicious!

We came for the brunch in Sunday. We got the French toast with banana, egg white omelette, Dutch Apple pancake, and Oliver's popover. French toast and apple pancake were great, especially if you love sweeter food for brunch. Omelette was one of the best I've had. The popover was pretty good but the bread was a bit dry. Our waitress, mara (I think that was her name) was the best. Super attentive and always kept our water glasses full. She gets 5 stars! We will be back soon!

By far my favorite spot for Brunch in Miami Beach. Food is always amazing, looooooooooove their eggs Benedict and french toasts. Coffee is also very good! Staff is always nice. It gets very crowded so you might have to wait to get a table but it is well worth waiting for!

So friggin delicious. My friends were like, man I want a light, fresh bite, let's go to "insert chain location for a sammie" - me "uhhhhh, let me Yelp this!" Low and behold.... We came upon Oliver's and I ate here twice within 9 days, delicious! They have a nice patio outside so we chose to dine there since it was sunny out and plenty of shade. Our servers each time were lovely and the food hit the spot! The Bruschetta was delicious. Three plentiful pieces with fresh tomato covered, crisp bread. Perfect way to start the meal. The first time I had the house salad with salmon and the fish was cooked to perfection, I finished the entire plate. When I went back I got the house salad again because it was so fresh but saved my salmon request for the a main dish and got the Salmon with warm couscous, wilted spinach, and grape tomatoes over an absolutely delicious citrus aioli. I almost licked the plate clean it was so light, refreshing and filling all at the same time. What a sweet little spot for a great meal.

Really cute place with good food. I got the mahi mahi sandwich and it was cooked perfectly. It came with a remoulade and fries. We also had the calamari and it was also good (only wish more sauce came with it). The menu is great and has a lot of offer. The service was attentive without being overbearing. It is a little far from 'tourist' areas in Miami--so take that however you want to. We saw mainly locals and an older crowd inside. It's quiet and perfect for people who like relaxed brunches.

OK. So I have been to Oliver's several times and have always been fine with it. Last week I went and for the first time ordered a Bloody Mary. I drank it in about 3 seconds. When my horrible waiter came back 30 minutes later I mentioned it tasted like it had little alcohol in it to which his response was, " oh, that is because we don't have a liquor license." So I ordered a $13 Bloody Mary with no liquor and wasn't told about it until after I drank the entire thing. The second thing that bothered me about this experience was that 3 separate time during our meal the waiter asked if he could take our plates while we were in the middle of eating. I live in the neighborhood- I own in the neighborhood- I will find other places to go.

Food so good that we are here 6 times in 7 days. Try the Cobb salad for lunch - it's great with the cilantro vinaigrette if you are dairy free. The chicken is perfectly grilled and served warm and juicy. The steak frites is amazing - I had it multiple times - among the best steaks I have ever had. The mussels are to die for - seriously they are served with a roasted tomato and garlic sauce with chorizo! The Bronzino is grilled with a crispy skin to tempt even those that don't generally care for seafood and the baked half chicken was so tender with a crisp skin that even my chicken hating wife kept stealing bites off my plate!!! Service is amazing - they even kept replacing my iced tea so that it didn't get too watered down as the ice melted. Prices are more than reasonable for south beach and the food is way better than more expensive places a few blocks over on Washington avenue. Highly recommended.

I was looking for a spot to do a girls' Sunday brunch and was recommended this place. When I tried to make a reservation, I was told you can't make reservations but that they would put a note that I needed a table for 5. Not only did I receive an email response from the owner himself (I submitted a request on their website), when I got to the restaurant they did indeed have my name on a list and set us up with a nice table inside very quickly. Josh at the door was wonderful. Also, our service from Natasha was top notch. Now for the food. Everyone was pleased with their order. I enjoyed the eggs benedict (go with the country sausage!!) and the home fries are great. Also loved the bellini. My friend said the steak and eggs were great. I will definitely be going back to try the popover with eggs inside...it looked amazing! Wish more restaurants on the beach had service like this. I highly recommend Oliver's for Sunday brunch in South Beach.

I hadn't been here in years, and I was frankly surprised they were still there. Not because of the food or the service; it's just rare for a restaurant to be so long-lived in Miami Beach. I came for lunch on Sunday with a friend. We were seated at an outdoor table after a short wait (the place was packed) and were promptly brought our drinks (water and iced tea). The menu is extensive, but we settled on salads. I had the Greek salad with grilled calamari and my friend had the Oliver's salad with salmon. Both salads were enormous. My Greek salad was dressed perfectly with a tangy, crisp dressing. The salad contained tons of feta and black olives and the calamari was tender and still warm. Perfection! My friend's salad came with a nice sized grilled salmon filet and she must have enjoyed it because her plate was as empty as mine after the meal! I liked that they didn't rush us when we were finished eating - we had plenty of time to finish our conversation before they picked up the check. One negative... my friend asked for additional dressing, cilantro and avocado on her salad and was charged $2.50 for each additional item. Now, I understand that providing those items costs the restaurant extra but the cost seemed a bit excessive. No matter, I will be looking forward to a return visit to sample more of the wonderful menu items!

I like this restaurant, not because is an amazing place, but, because if you live in SOBE is one on the only places that serves actual good quality food at a fair price (not a tourist trap at all). Whenever you drive by (morning, noon or night) you'll find it at least 30% - 90% filled with people. I wish there were more places like this in town.

Junior M.

Came here to try Oliver's popover after seeing many pictures here on yelp, it was four of us determined to order a pop over the waitress came we ordered coffees and pop overs she kindly shut us down and let us know they weren't serving them today :( we all ended up getting omlettes and toast and coffee the waitress was very nice the food was great wish we could've had the popovers but ehhh maybe next time omelettes did hit the spot and they have a nice little set up outside overall I would recommend this place to everyone it was definitely the best breakfast I had within the two weeks I spent in Miami will be coming back next time I'm in Miami plus it's not on ocean drive so you don't gotta worry about the 50$ tip being added onto your bill

Meggie C.

This place we came due to all the reviews on yelp. It was okayyyy nothing spectacular. I ordered the omelette and my boyfriend ordered the breakfast platter. I felt like they were a little over priced. They charged a lot for toppings on an omelette that other places I've been either included or at least have u a better selection of omelettes to choose from. All in all its a decent place to dine at. Outside u can eat and watch the scenery Around

I don't know why it took me so long to try Oliver's but I'm happy I made moves to check it out today. Parking seemed like it would be a nightmare but we were able to snag a prime spot on the same block. When we arrived it was somewhat busy but luckily there were some open tables outside so we chose to sit in a corner close to the sidewalk (all outside tables offer some degree of shade which is a plus in my book). From beginning to end, the service was PERFECT. Michael was our server and he is your definitive waiter when it comes to optimal service. He knew when to approach the table and how often, our water glasses were never empty and every time he spoke to us he had a genuine smile on his face. The menu had a decent variety of salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, etc. and I opted for the blackened mahi mahi sandwich with sweet potato fries. The food came out in a timely fashion and it was very good. All the flavors were clean and simple which is exactly what I look for when having lunch on a work day. I don't want some sloppy mess that is going to put me in a food coma when I have another 5 hours of work to put in (I like to save my sloppy messes for happy hour). All in all, it was a nice experience and I look forward to trying their breakfast.

I have been coming to Olivers since I moved to West ave 7 years ago. It has been consistent for that long!!! Radical Changes in my diet were accommodated and thats why I love Olivers. I get spaghetti primavera in red sauce.. OMG - SO GOOD!!! Most of all I love the staff.. A big warm greeting makes you feel like home. Food is simple but Delish. Even the most boring house salad is just nice fresh and crunchy!!! Love it! Wine selection is good. If your waistline can afford a dessert - get a tiramisu! Ahhhh.. So good!!

Cemone K.

Came here based on reviews and it did not disappoint! We were hungry after we got off our cruise and wanted to walk around South Beach before driving back to Orlando (we were tourists from CA). I love french toast and this place has some delicious toast! I got mine with slices of bananas, perfect complement. Fiance got the corned beef hash. You can't really screw up this dish but I admit it was some of the best I have had! Service was fast and friendly, but I think there was only one other couple at the restaurant. Not sure if it was just because it was a weekday but it was very slow. If I am ever back in Miami and am craving french toast, I'll be back!

We were here in 2013 Had the fish tacos, but the fish was overcooked, meaning we had to request more sauce to make them tasty. My wife have up though after the second taco and returned the food. Disappointing.

Great food, good service and the atmosphere is on point. The place is always packed and clean. The food is fresh and flavorful. Service is good so don't let up on the guest service. It would get 5 stars with just a little more relaxed staff. I know it is never easy. Kudos to them.

4 for corn beef hash, 3 for drinks, popovers, omelets. 3 or less for parking. Its small n gets super crowded so be prepared to wait. Service is barely average. Drinks r watered down. Side potatoes with breakfast were mostly undercooked. Not in a rush to come back. Prices don't match quality.

Delicious Italian food a block from Mondrian Hotel. Very friendly and professional staff. Pasta served al dente to perfection. Great ambiance. Shrimp scampi is amazing. Have had it twice this week. Also excellent bruschetta serving size large enough for a light meal. Hummus is a great appetizer. Spaghetti and meatballs like Grammy makes.

Great food, but your customer service needs some attention. My husband and I live right down the street and eat here at least once a month. We bring all of our out of town guests here as well. Unfortunately, the experience is usually ruined by all of the smokers out on the patio. It's almost 2015, this policy should be reviewed. Paying customers who would like the enjoy the food outdoors shouldn't have to deal with other customer's poor health decisions (smoking).

Camille O.

I've been here numerous times through the years. Being new to yelp this is my first review. I love this place. The food is delicious and always good. Their Blackened Mahi is one of my favorites. The NY Strip with fries is another dish I often order. The service is always good. If you go often they recognize you and make you feel like family. One time we were seated outside and about to get our dinner when a summer windy rain started pouring, the waitress graciously placed us on an inside table. I will keep going, great neighborhood restaurant.

I go to South Beach every year for a month or two. The food here is amazing. Finally discovered it. The chicken Marsala and Chicken Schnnizel were both fantastic. Went for Valentine's day and had the Duck special which was terrific. I took several of my friends and will be back!!

Awesome spot on SOBE!! Went for brunch on Saturday. Nice outside seating. Good service. Great specialty plate with fried chicken jalapeÃ±o biscuit gravy and eggs. Jesus it was awesomeness. Everything I was craving for brunch. We had a nice bottle of prosecco from Sonoma county. The Dutch Apple pancakes were so good but really rich and too much for one person to eat alone. The turkey wrap with bacon was also good. Overall a great spot.

I always have good experiences at Oliver's but personally I think it's good for brunch and overpriced for dinner. Try the stuffed pancake, it's awesome.

The Dutch apple pancake is not a typical pancake. It was very thick and had a hard top. It looks very similar to a funnel cake. I am not a fan. The american coffee was terrible. The others ordered the eggs Benedict and omelet... Both were much better than the pancake I ordered.

Bourdain F.

Just moved to the area and was hoping this could be a regular spot. But the food was okay. I think what made the food seem just okay was the unpleasant waiter. Staff seemed stiff and dry. This is a shame because for such pretty and fancy decor you would expect the wait staff to serve with gusto or even a little smile every now and then. I always get annoyed when I can taste similar food at a more discounted price elsewhere- and with slightly bigger portions. That's what happened recently. Gnocchi was plentiful at a near by establishment and tasted better than Oliver's for a fraction of the price.

Great place with lounge music. Fast service, nice people and amazing food! We ordered bruschettas, shrimp risotto with asparagus and spaghetti carbonara. All very delicious and with large portions (lots of shrimps!!). Also, great value for food.

3.5 I've been here more than once but I suppose that has more to do with proximity and a lack of options rather than a deep-seated desire to return over and over again. For what it is and where it is, Oliver's is decent enough if you abide by a few rules. Actually, there's only one. One rule. Get the Dutch Apple pancake. That's it. That's the rule. You might opt for a mimosa. You may want a cup of coffee. In case you're sitting outside and it's hot, a tall glass of water is never a bad idea. But, as far as eating at Oliver's, there's one rule: get the Dutch Apple pancake. The pancake is absolutely huge. I have a big appetite and I struggle to get through it. The caramelized ends provide a satisfying crunch while the generous amount of apples provide just enough sweet to take you to the edge. The ratio of fruit to cake is just right so that you're full by the time you're finished but you fill as though you've eaten something other than syrupy fruit. Inherent in this rule are other rules. Order the pancake (so, you're likely coming here for brunch and not another meal). Order the pancake (odds are your endorphins will be so high from the sugary fruity goodness that your eye muscles won't get a workout from rolling due to the spotty service; both times I came here, my table received wrong orders, long wait times and some sort of physical snafu -- spilled water or a tripped waiter). Order the pancake (and only the pancake so you don't waste time with the criminally bland eggs and potatoes -- in any permutation. I've had both the make-it-yourself omelet and scrambled eggs & home fries; awful. If you can't make eggs, you shouldn't be in a kitchen). Order the pancake (and stick with that. This is the beach and prices are higher than they should be. If you go on a brunch spending spree, your wallet and gut will not be happy with you). So... order the pancake.

My wife and I came in based on the pictures posted. Looked good so we came, we ate, we conquered. I had the popovers and those were on point. My wife had the eggs Benedict and she was pleased. The service was excellent, waiter very courteous. The food came out really fast. I was very pleased with my overall experience.

Jacque M.

This place is always a great experience to come to. The service never disappoints me. I love their food, my favorite is the country style pasta with sausage. I love their meats and calamari and bruschetta. The last time I went I ordered a chicken plate I had never had, I told the waitress I didn't like the sauce at all. He gladly changed it for the pasta which never disappoints me. I guess sometime it's better to stick to your top main dishes.. Hehe. The atmosphere is always great, relaxing or romantic.

For sure one for the locals ! Always consistent and healthy. Very memorable staff and management !

My boyfriend and I made it a habit to try calamari wherever we go and keep a running list and Oliver's Grilled Calamari put them all to shame. If that want enough, the manager came over and explained how it was cooked and seasoned. The aioli sauce that accompanies it is divine. I then ordered the extra thick French toast and was met with the royalty that is that dish. It's a must have. The boyfriend had a pop over which did not disappoint. Overall this place gave a lovely vibe, had friendly staff an if we didn't live in Tampa I would be tempted to try everything on the menu.

I met up with Miami's own (formerly Chicago) Johnny T at this place while I was down @ South Beach as he said we should do brunch here. I made it there before him and I noticed there was a bit of a wait on Easter Sunday of course. I walked up to the waiter to ask if I could be put on the list and he told me I would move right to the front of the list if I gave him my Michael Kors watch. Strange! He even forgot to put my name down in the midst of his jokes about how he envied my watch. I had to catch him again to remind him to jot my name down. Johnny made it over and the waiter came back and told us if we wanted to eat inside then we would be seated immediately, but if we wanted outdoor seating it would still be a little wait. We chose inside of course. Once seated, a waitress came over and told us they would be with us momentarily which ended up being 10 minutes. We stated out with drinks once our waitress showed up and I got the peach bellini while he got the mimosa. The bellini was good, but I wound up going with 2 more mimosas afterwards. I was hungry as I hadn't eaten all day and it was past 1PM at this point and I was feeing quite eggy so I went with the create your own omelet. I added roasted red peppers, spinach, feta cheese and mushrooms to it with egg whites. It came with a side of delicious potatoes. The meal definitely made up for the spotty service we received and to the waitresses' credit she got better as we ordered more mimosas. Definitely a good clean brunch spot to hit up away from the crazy Ocean Drive, Collins Ave & Washington Ave scene on South Beach. Would try again in hopes the service has improved

The food was pretty good, as was the service...although this isn't a place that I'd think of going to during my next trip to Miami. The location just isn't great for vacationers; I'd rather be on south beach.

I ended up at Oliver's Saturday night last minute because Macchialina down the street was closed for renovations. I had heard they had a excellent brunch, so I figured it was worth a shot checking them out for dinner. It was a terrible mistake. The menu is this strange compilation of foods that do not follow any sort of structure. I had assumed it was an Italian place when I first sat down, but the menu ranged from pasta dishes, to texas rodeo burgers, to churrasco, to escargot, to quesadillas. I asked the waitress for recommendations and she basically told me she really hasn't had much from the menu, but that everything was good, which was completely unhelpful. I chose to stuck with the Italian appetizers of bruschetta, burrata, and lobster ravioli all of which were average at best. Unfortunately my experience has likely turned me off of coming back again, but I feel like this may be a brunch specialist place. However, I will not be returning for dinner. They lack an identity for dinner and the unhelpful wait staff make it impossible to make any good decision. I can't speak for brunch, but avoid for dinner.

Chevonne W.

I like that there is outdoor seating and the food is pretty good. I've been here a few times but never wrote a review but today I will. The service isn't the greatest. Something we all have to get used to in Miami Beach. I've traveled many places and never have a problem for the most part with service, but most places I go in Miami Beach, you would be lucky to get a refill on your water without asking or if you keel over in your chair choking. It's weird because with so many people needing work, you would think waitstaff would be appreciative of having a job. I guess since gratuity is included in most checks, giving less service still means they get paid.

Adriana J.

If you swear by the theory that Beach brunch will break the bank then I'm about to share some groundbreaking advice. Oliver's has IHOP prices ($8+) but Lincoln Road charm. So the next time you've got family in from out of town, a friend's hangover-recovery date or a perfect-weather Sunday, make your way over to Oliver's and order their French Toast. Phenomenal. And that's just one option in a sea of great choices. Service was quick and friendly! We waited a total of 10 minutes before our mountain of food arrived--that's another thing: portions are huge! Even better? Take advantage of their covered outdoor seating: cheerful orange umbrellas and a dense wall of shrubbery, a happy garden-feel to go along with a delicious menu.

This place is the best local hang out anything you order in the menu is yummy and prices are perfect too.

No wiggle room on menu which was a little strange because you would think they could make some dishes vegetarian. I'm not really a fan of places that don't accommodate patrons which is why i'm giving Oliver's 3 stars. The brunch (eggs and french toast) we did order was good and service was good too. Nothing to rave about though.

Ryan E.

Food is pretty good. Corned beef hash is the purÃ©ed form unlike the potatoes and chunks of corned beef I usually like. Eggs Benedict are great as well. Usually I'd give 4 stars but their service was absolutely great. We came with a baby and we have very meticulous standards on feeding him and they helped with all the odd requests for preparing food for him with no fuss at all. I was very impressed. Highly recommended.

I've been coming to Oliver's for about 6 years now; it's one of my favorites restaurants. The food has always been outstanding, always fresh, always consistent. My favorites are the Hummus appetizer, the House salad, the Arugula with Zucchini Carpaccio, the Branzino, I like their tacos as well, the tortilla soup. Oh and they don't always have it, but when they do... the potato soup is to die for! I also have to mention that their bread with the whipped cream cheese is ridiculous! Their service... most of the time is good. If I had to say anything bad about Oliver's... I would say that when there are smokers sitting around you, the smoke stays in the air for a long time because the outside area is somewhat enclosed with the awnings. They should divide it to two areas; that way people that don't smoke can enjoy their meal without a Marlboro cloud over them.

With partner in crime n family. Great place for breakfast n brunch. I enjoy sitting outside. Came for brunch today (sunday) for brunch.

Oliver's was a great spot for Brunch. I ordered a caesar salad with chicken. Next time ill try there egg white omelet. I did try there potatoes though and they were very good. Service was fast and nice. The only thing i didn't like was that parking was a headache. Besides that i had a great time and will go back to try there omelets.

I just wanted to go to an area in South Beach that served food that I could eat. After many failed attempts, I found Oliver's. Simply put, Oliver's is wonderful. Once my boyfriend and I discovered this place, we dined there for our two out of three meals per day. Great food, especially for the price.

This review is so unequivocally positive and gushing that I am almost embarrassed to submit it. My hairdresser, Steven, works at the Rosanno Feretti salon right next to Oliver's. Every year, he begins at the top of Oliver's menu, and every time he goes in, orders the next dish, sequentially. At any other place this would be absurd, but at Oliver's, everything is that damned good, that it somehow works. While some dishes are better than others, this eclectic menu has never disappointed me. From the brunch pancakes (which really taste more like "cakes") to perfectly al dente spaghetti with olive oil, to crispy, well-flavored fried chicken or Madras-style chicken curry, there are no misses. I live right down the street and eat there two or three times a week. Every time I go to the newest Miami culinary hot spot, I find myself comparing the place to Oliver's, with the new place always coming up on the losing end. The staff is particularly friendly to regulars, which is fine with me, as this is most definitely a local place, which is way off the radar of most tourists. In summary, as long as Oliver's stays put, I won't even consider moving from my condo. I wish they had a full liquor license (only wines for now) but its a small sacrifice, given all the positives.

I've been to Oliver's a couple of times for breakfast/brunch. They're always packed and for a good reason - the food is absolutely delicious. Every dish I've had there was rich, light, and tasty. I sat at the bar today and my bartender was such a doll. Very friendly and attentive. The staff had great teamwork. When I dropped my fork, a server was right behind me with a new one. When I finished my food, another server bussed it from my spot immediately. My only complaint (and reason this is not 5 stars) is about the manager or owner that was duty today. He was extremely rude in his dealings with his employees and even myself, a customer. He didn't appear to interact with his employees in a positive manner and was on the phone most of the time. When I put my extra pair on shoes on the bar in order to pick up the fork that I dropped, I forgot that I had placed them there and he stormed over and told me "You can't do that. Get your shoes off the bar there's other customers who eat here". That is NOT the way one addresses a patron. If he asked nicely, I might have not been left with such a bad impression. Regardless of this unprofessional manager, I plan on visiting Oliver's again.

Amazing breakfast and brunch! This is my go-to spot on Sundays for a mimosa or Bloody Mary and delicious omelettes. Definitely a local gem. Sometimes there is a small wait but it is worth the wait.

Oliver's...you are just fantastic. Your Sunday brunch is fabulous. Your pop-overs? To die for. The white sangria? Magical. Service? Lovely. Ambiance? Sweetly modern. You make my heart swoon and my tummy happy. Thanks for that.

I ate there last night, it was fabulous. We sat outside. My husband and I got the steak with chimichuri sauce and Cesar salad. My sister got the seafood pasta special. It was delicious, all of it. We will definitely be back, good prices, excellent food and very good service. The male waiter was excellent, I wish I could remember his name. My husband is still talking about how good his steak was.

Great local spot. Have been there several times and the food is fresh and delicious. I love their calamari! Very good about drink refills, which is always a plus in my book. Outdoor and indoor eating...both are beautiful. The only negative thing is some of their waitresses are unfriendly and have attitudes. The owner is always friendly and one of the male waiters is great (i forget his name..maybe Michael?), but some of the waitresses really just aren't nice.

What's not to like at Oliver's. They do everything right everytime. The menu is large and the service is prompt. Perfect for brunch, lunch, dindin, and everything in between! The setting is beautiful West Avenue, where the weather, people, and food come as one. Did that make any sense? YeS! I hear great things about the french toast, but just couldnt pull the trigger on something i can make in 3 mins at home. I went with the chicken quesadilla instead (something i could make in 33 mins). But anything you get here will bring you to your knees and beg for more. You go Oliver! Go on with your bad selfie..

OK breakfast place away from the bustle of the beach. The pancakes were very heavy and dense. The coffee was good.

Oliver's has a large menu, with a good variety and the food is good to boot. they have a nice outdoor patio for dining with or without your dog. it is a great neighborhood restaurant and hang out. the owner was one of the Chefs, that created nuevo Florida cooking in the 80's.

Great place down the street from the Mondrian! We held a group lunch for 35+ people here in July and had a great experience. We had bruscetta and hummus set out on the tables when the guests arrived and then we chose from 3 options for lunch. The service was extremely efficient considering the group size, the restaurant was very nice and the food was delicious!

Good dinner, extensive menu and good portions. Service is polite and fast. They offer a delicious light chives & cream cheese spread with crusty fresh bread. For dinner we ordered the Ahi tuna nicoise salad with lemony dressing, blackened fish tacos and a side of sweet potato fries. The nicoise salad was very good, good portion of perfectly cooked tuna (still pink inside), halves of mini tomatoes, anchovies, fresh crunchy green beans, a hard boiled egg, a potato, marinated red peppers and black olives. Very fresh and very tasty! The blackened fish tacos (x3) are served on a pedestal so they don't crash and actually stay together. Nice presentation and very good taste with good cabbage. The sweet potato fries might be the best i've had (favorite so far are the ones at City Hall). Thick cut, not greasy, long and perfectly fried. Big hit. Good portion too, we even took some home! No dessert this time but strongly hesitate for the cheesecake ! Will try next time! Will go back soon so try other items on their menu!

We have been there two times with my girlfriend: nice terrace outside, simple but cozy especially at night. Great menu with fresh products. Generous portions and really fair prices. Good wines too, owners are French I think. Cool service. Not much to say except I will be there again soon!

I'm surprised I had never stopped here for brunch. Great little, busy spot on west ave. had a hearty breakfast after ordering the popover, a pastry filled with eggs, cheese and sausage. I was expecting the pastry to be of the flaky sort. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. I would've preferred a croissant. The meal was great overall though and the staff was very attentive.

Lou D.

I really dig Olivers, which was unexpected. I'm not sure why I would always pass it by. It's a couple blocks from my house, but I never go in. A friend came to visit, so I took the opportunity to go. We like it! The varied menu is awesome and works for picky types like myself. I had a great salad, and the following week had an awesome omelet at brunch. It has more of a laid back and chill vibe than I would have guessed. I'm digging it. Check it out.

Gloria S.

Food was excellent but service stunk. Pricey but it is South Beach. There are few American eateries around here, this one is hip, indoor and outdoor seating. TIP: If you sit inside, you will need a sweater (freezing) and ear plugs.(Real loud) No parking, but there is a public parking building just down the same block.

Rick F.

Great Corner location, Great Atmosphere, The service was excellent, the server was knowledgable on the entire menu and wine list. The calamari Appetizer was just ok! The burrata was excellent. The Carbonara was the best I've ever had in a restaurant and closest to the original method of making it in italy. The Hanger steak was seasoned perfectly. I had a great time meeting friends from NJ and unexpected event! Looking forward to my next visit!

Ethan Y.

the place is not expensive and offers the usual that you would expect. I guess it is better for breakfast food. Drinks were okay and the swordfish was just okay.. nothing bad but nothing too special either. we had a couple of drinks first but the waitress was a little pushy on getting us to order more drinks. i realized that we were waiting for another friend for 30 minutes but coming back three times is a little annoying..

Leilani C.

Food was good, not great. Nothing memorable or anything to rave about. It was 11AM and I asked if we could still get breakfast (not exclusive to the late breakfast small selection) and they said no. Okay, fine no big deal ill get a sandwich. A girl and her friend come in right after and demanded French toast and got them in a snap. I guess I wasn't aggressive enough.

Oliver's is an amazing place. Anyone who is on South Beach must go here for lunch or dinner. I have had the opportunity to eat here many times and I have always enjoyed the quality food. No matter what you order I am sure you will enjoy.

Really liked breakfast on sunny day of December 31st after a long flight to Miami. I just ordered an omelet, and it was what I expected it to me, no more no less. The audience is good looking, place is nice and trendy, prices are reasonable, it's a little bit loud though.

Car H.

I haven't had french toast this amazing in a long time! This brunch place definitely serves one of the finest, and that's so hard to come by (we randomly found this on Yelp during our 3 hr stop at Miami). I ordered the Extra Thick French Toast with seasonal fruits. I believe it was $9.95. When it came, the plate was drizzled with a touch of condensed milk, strawberry, caramel, and chocolate syrup. Maple syrup served on the side. Fresh fruits topped the nicely stacked toast. The french toast was just as described on the menu - extra thick slices! Every bite was absolutely delicious. The sweetness from the syrup and fruits was not overpowering and I could still taste the texture of the french toast. Service was also friendly. I'm a fan!

Nicol S.

I have been coming here for a couple of years and it is always enjoyable. I love the calamari salad, my wife always wants to head over for brunch and get their awesome apple pancakes, which I always do so that I can get a big stuffed popover. The staff are super too.

Cassandra L.

My girlfriends and I arrived in South Beach exhausted, bleary eyed, and extremely hungry. We found salvation in the form of breakfast at Oliver's! This also happened to be the first taste of Miami food for us so that was exciting. We arrived promptly when they opened and were the first customers of the day. I ordered the 3 eggs omelette with spinach, mushroom, cheddar cheese, and sausage. The 3 eggs omelette is $9.95 but you get only 2 ingredients in your omelette; additional items are $1.95 EACH which I found totally absurd. However, my stomach overcame my rationality and so I ordered 2 more ingredients. I also wanted an egg white omelette but that too would be an additional $2, which I could not justify at all. The omelette was fresh and delicious but I couldn't get over the fact that a few leaves of spinach and some cheese added so much to my bill. Friends ordered the eggs benedict and said they really enjoyed it. Customer service was very attentive too. However, the overcharging for extra ingredients sort of took away the joy of eating the yummy omelette.

Bruce R.

Excellent food and service. The curry chicken with mango and the crab cakes are my favorites. Cozy outdoor seating.
(4)
Rebecca M.

Meh. That sums up my experience here. It was not bad, but it was also definitely not good. I ordered the Oliver's Popovers, which was a bread stuffed with a sausage and egg scramble. The sausage itself was okay but the bread (not sure what kind it was) did not go well with the scramble. I also tried a bite of the corned beef hash and an omelet. Again, nothing particularly impressive. I will say the pancakes and waffles looked good, so maybe those are better.

Fiona C.

Came here for brunch on our last day in Miami and I'm definitely coming back here the next time I'm in Miami. We ordered the blackened fish tacos, dutch apple pancake and the chicken salad to share. The blackened fish tacos were delicious - love how the radish is shredded and the fish cooked perfectly. The dutch apple pancake was really good with a nice golden crust on the top - like eating apple pie! Chicken salad was ok - the chicken was dry, the cilantro lime vinaigrette was decent. Service was attentive.

Indya R.

I absolutely love Oliver's. I was staying at the Mondrian and since they have only one restaurant with a pretty small menu, I went to Oliver's a lot. Portion sizes are good, prices are very reasonable. It is in a nice location on West avenue away from all the tourist hub-bub. They have outdoor seating so you can sort of people watch and feel some fresh air while you dine. The servers are nice and knowledgeable and help each other out. Service was always fast and efficient. Definitely one of my favorites on the beach!

Veronica C.

I'm totally a fan. I can't give it 5 stars YET, but from what I have tasted, I have only had good experiences. I have had excellent salads there for both brunch and dinner....the house wine was OK, but I think it's a matter of preference. :-) So don't take my word for it. Try the Burrata Mozzarella appetizer...Simple, Fresh and Delicious....

Nick B.

Brunch was disappointing, at first I thought that perhaps we had just gotten unlucky with extremely poor service, however once the food came out it was equally as disappointing. All three of our brunch entrees were over done, the poached eggs being more akin to hard boiled eggs and the popover was overdone and very dry. The one upside of this experience is that the extremely poor service gave me time to write a review and warn other Yelpers about the downfall of this previously delicious South Beach brunch spot.

I always order the same things at Oliver's but I love it... salad with fried goat cheese, french onion soup, the brunch brioche with scrambled eggs. This is a local's spot in Miami Beach with a menu offering anything you're in the mood for. Always a win.

Oliver's is a gem and always provides excellent food with attentive, friendly service. They really know how to cook. And their prices are surprisingly moderate. We had another good meal tonight and look forward to going back.

I've never been truly blown away by Oliver's brunch, but it has recently worked its way into my regular rotation. Prices are fair, it's only a few blocks from my humble abode, and the brunch selection is pretty tasty. The popovers, stuffed with scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese, are huge! I'm a big fan of popovers, but stuff 'em with delicious breakfast food, and you really have a unique dish. I've heard they sell out of these on the regular, so if you're heart's set on this dish, make sure you get there relatively early (this is South Beach, after all). Other faves of my regular brunchin' crew are the American breakfast, which includes your usual eggs, breakfast meat & potatoes, and the omelettes, which always look really tasty (but tend to be a little dry). The pancakes are pretty spectacular, and might actually be my new favorite. Made with your choice of fruit or chocolate chips, this come out piping hot with crispy edges and fluffy insides. In other words - the perfect pancake. You'd be remiss not to give 'em a shot. The blackened mahi sandwich from their lunch menu is pretty great, though a little messy to eat. Service can be spotty. Sometimes it's great, sometimes your server will disappear for what seems like an eternity right when you need something. Prices are on par for the brunch scene - expect roughly $10 a person for food only, upwards of $20/per if you're planning on mimosa-ing with your brunch ($9 a pop). Parking in this neighborhood is a chore, so walk or DecoBike your way over!

After a very long, fun night out (or should I say morning already), I dragged myself out of "bed" to go to Brunch. That's one of the reasons I stayed in Miami this weekend so I was not going to let sleep get in the way of meeting Maria and friends @ Oliver's. I'm so glad I set up my alarm... The day was perfect, sunny, breeze, a day to be outside and happy. We arrived there around noon. Found our table and the waitress was immediately taking our drinks order. Now by drinks, don't get confused - no full bar here, only wines and champagne. So water it was for me. We started with the Smoked Salmon & Bagel Platter - it was delicious. Enough for the whole party and not spoil your appetite. We all ordered different things. The Dutch Apple Pancakes looked really good and really big, so did the Stuffed Banana French Toasts, but I decided to go with the Create Your Own 3 Egg Omelette, which I shared with my cousin. We decided to have the omelet with apple wood smoked bacon, mushrooms and brie - this comes with home fries potatoes. This is a very generous portion - we were so glad we decided to share, it was the perfect amount for each. Love that this place has both inside and outside seating. Outside tables have umbrellas for shade - perfect for the summer so you can enjoy the beautiful days but not melt out in the sun.

Disappointing and quite honestly a time waste.. The place is in a good location which makes it a great brunch spot for the weekend. The outdoor seating is also quite nice. However the service is terrible and totally takes away from the experience. One we first arrived it to almost 45 minutes for the waitress to ask for our orders. Finally our food arrived and it was average at best..I got the create your own omelet, with ham and red peppers and she then added mushrooms which I did not ask for..my friend got the eggs Benedict which looked average, and my boyfriend got the scramble and Dutch apple pancake..all sub par and not worth the wait. Finally for dessert my friend ordered the molten chocolate cake, the waitress brought over a chocolate mousse once again not what we asked for. Thanks. Finally 45 min later she asked us about our check we mentioned we wanted separate checks. 45 min later she came back with every item on the checks wrong.. After waiting another 20 min she finally took our cards, we told her the corrections on the checks yet when she returned for our signatures she still kept the incorrect and items and charged us for them. We all had places to be and this lack of efficiency kept us there for much longer than anticipated. My friend nearly didn't make it to the autos hop to pick up her car. Ultimately we found ourselves paying just to get out if there. The food is average the service is terrible, save yourself the waste.

Best breakfast / brunch in south beach Miami. Try the popover is unforgettable. The French toast are deliciously generous in size and taste. Away from the craziness of Ocean drive on a Sunday morning seating on the terrace in front. Mixed crowd of locals and well informed tourist relaxing with an excellent and well priced meal. Do not change a thing !

Found this on Yelp and decided try. Lived up to my expectations. It was fairly busy but the food came out quickly. Had the eggs Benedict with sausage... Delicious! Tried my boyfriends pancakes with strawberries....Even better than my eggs Benedict. Would definitely recommend if you want something fast and reasonably priced. Only downside: no bottomless mimosas :(

Oliver's reminds me of a cute little NYC-esque brunch place in the middle of SoBe! My friends and I arrived around 1 on a Saturday and I expected a wait but there wasn't any at all. There is a good amount of outside seating which we would have taken up if it weren't drizzling but I guess some of Miami's finest don't mind a little rain since the outdoor seating was pretty full ;) They have the usual suspects for brunch - i.e., lots of egg dishes--but also serve a full on lunch menu. My friend had the 3-egg white omelet with ham, mushrooms, and cheese ($11.95) and I had the Soy Glazed Seared Salmon open sandwich ($13.50) as well as a cafÃ© con leche. The cafÃ© con leche was pretty sizable and was about $3-4. The sandwich contained a huge chunk of delicious salmon - definitely filling. The omelet was large as well so my friend could barely finish her food. They charge $1 to substitute fries for salad which I never understand - can someone explain this to me? My third (alchie) friend had 2 glasses of Mimosa's at $7/glass which I thought was pretty normal. Lastly, service was polite but not over friendly so at times the waiter seemed a bit curt which was a little unexpected but tolerable.

Steve N.

Update for dinner: The food was definitely superior. The service and setting were terrific. I ate a small house salad that was carefully prepared, including a unique dressing to the restaurant, and a chicken schnitzel, which I don't see too often, accompanied by a bavarian (not creamy) potato salad. It was excellent. I spent $30 with tip, no alcohol. Props to Marianna for great service at prior brunches.

Justin T.

Oliver's proved to be a great find one Saturday morning. I was looking for brunch and Oliver was just the answer. The place was packed from the moment we arrived. Despite this, we were quickly seated at our table. Service was a little slow, but the food came out very quickly. I definitely recommend any of the fresh menu items they have to offer. I had the ahi tuna sandwich; the pickled ginger made it unique. Check the place out. It's definitely a winner in my book.

I went for brunch today ordered a coffee, and an orange juice. The waitress lost balance and the entire glass of OJ went on my dress, purse, and shoes. Also some splashed on the guy next to me. I was soaked and not even an apology. I had to get up and leave. You would think the owner standing 6 feet from me would come over and apologize. Nope just sat there and starred at me. Probably thought I was some tourist only should he know I am a local. So I went up to him and told him it was bad business for him to not even acknowldge everything of mine being ruined. I will NEVER go back and give them business. Anyhow, this place has gone downhill over the last few years, and prices have sky rocketed $15 for a chicken cesar salad.

I really like Oliver's. It's where us locals go to get great food, fantastic service, and get away from the touristy eateries. The food is consistently delicious. The wait staff is uber friendly and professional. Whether you're hungry for brunch, lunch or dinner, Oliver's is ideal! The menu is extensive, with a variety of choices. There's inside and outside seating - outside is best. TIP: Save room for dessert and order the Oreo Cookie Ice Cream cake. IT IS SO DAMNED GOOD!!!!!

I'm pretty surprised to see such stellar reviews for Oliver's. It's not that my group had a bad experience, but it was nothing amazing. I had some friends in town last week and this restaurant was within walking distance of their rental condo. I loved that the menu was HUGE so everyone could get what they wanted. In fact, I couldn't believe how many different cuisine showed up on the same page. After ordering cocktails, we decided we had to try the Corned Beef & Cabbage Spring Rolls. It was an interesting concept, but they were nothing special. I ordered the Grilled Salmon as my main course and it really had the potential to be great. The salmon was delicious, if a bit salty, and I enjoyed the spinach, grape tomatoes and Israeli couscous that came with it. However, the entire dish was sitting on what they called a "citrus aioli", which was more like a lemon-flavored mayonnaise. It was so salty and overpowered the entire dish. Maybe I was just the odd woman out here - my friends seemed to enjoy all of their food as did my husband who ordered the Greek Salad with Grilled Calamari, but I didn't think it was that spectacular. Also, the service is kind of uneven so watch out for that.

Best brunch joint in south beach. It was sooooooooo sweet that they brought my puppy a doggy bowl with lemon in his water. The eggs Benedict was quite memorable as well as their chicken Marsala. I frequent this place all the time and I don't know why this is the first time I've yelped about it but it won't be my last.

Marcos R.

Moderately priced elegant restaurant with lots of outdoor seating. The interior is mostly a cool white. Perfect spot for brunch or dinner. A local's favorite just down the street from Dewey's or Wild Oats. Good wine selection and delicious seafood salads. You may even catch a local celeb or two eating incognito, no joke. A friend of a friend of mine works there, Chad. Not an endorsement, turst me they don't need the advertisement. But if you if you get the chance, give him a hard time on my behalf ; )

Lovet O.

I came here twice for their eggs Benedict breakfast. It was AWESOME!!! I love eggs Benedict and not too many restaurants know how to make it. I like the fact that they sub'd the Canadian bacon for regular bacon for me and the price was reasonable. The service was also good. Restaurant is located on a corner (away from the main strip Ocean Drive) and they plenty of outdoor seating. However, I ordered my breakfast (both times) to go.

Mit P.

A very good neighbourhood restaurant. I confess, I generally don't like eating in South Beach due to the proliferation of beggars, homeless people and others who bring Miami down to the ranks of Rio and Mumbai. However the food and hospitality here is good. Pros: 1) Nice broadly ranging menu. They have nice burgers, a variety of egg dishes, fishes, sandwiches, comfort foods, salads, there is something for everyone and you won't get bored. 2) Some standout dishes. I really like the Apple pancakes. I also like the blackened mahi sandwich. The breakfast turnover is quite an impressive and unique dish if you are very hungry at the start of the day. The salad dressings are excellent. 3) Excellent service. The owner is usually present, and he makes sure things run smoothly. There were time when my waitress would be slack about refilling my drink and he would step in and make it happen. Its always good when the owner is present and active. 4) Great desserts and drinks. Cons: 1) Not a fan of al fresco dining in SoBe for reasons mentioned at the beginning.

We brunched at Oliver's due to its close proximity to my friends' apartment (and because it shares its name with my dog), but I was very pleasantly surprised with my meal. While usually a "brunch is for breakfast food" disciple, I spotted the Texas Rodeo burger on the menu, instantly Liz Lemoned and wanted to go to there. I mean...menu description: topped with sauteed onions, BBQ sauce, melted cheddar, apple wood smoked bacon, fried onion rings. It was as good as it sounds, with great fries to boot. I topped off my meal with a bloody and coffee and was a happy, albeit a bit sleepy, girl. The service was slightly inattentive but still friendly, and there is ample outdoor seating. Would definitely go back for brunch on my next visit to SoBe.

Maria K.

I'm in love.... We ordered the greek salad with grilled chicken. Let me tell you this simple Greek salad was one of the best I've had. The chicken is actually grilled! The dressing is lite and so tasty. My picky friend ordered the grilled calamari and did not return it!! The atmosphere is very cozy and relaxing. The plants are just beautiful with the little lights in them. Overall Oliver's has a great vibe that is very hard to come across. As for the service.... perfect!! My server was Erick he was charming, efficient and polite. I recommend Oliver's to everyone. Can't wait to go back!

SUSAN B.

My son, daughter-in-law, and grandson live in Miami Beach, just a block or two away from Oliver's. I live in Washington, DC, and am only able to visit my family once a year. But each time I visit, we always have a meal or two at Oliver's (on my most recent visit just last week, we dined at Oliver's on three occasions). The food at Oliver's is plentiful, reasonably priced, and very, very good. And the menu is extensive without being mind-bogglingly long. The restaurant itself is just lovely, both indoors and out, as is the ambiance. The waitstaff is professional, friendly, and accommodating. Too, it is "kid-friendly," and provides high-chairs and boosters for the little ones. Adults without children need not panic, however, since most of the patrons of Oliver's are adults. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant, which is located a block from the bay in a lovely, tree-lined neighborhood.

I was there with friends for a late dinner on a Sat. night (9p), and did not have to wait at all for a table which is a minor miracle on South Beach. I had the Branzino which is my favorite fish. It was cooked to perfection -moist, flaky meat with a crispy skin.and served over a bed of spinach. The decor is lovely and it is NOT an over-priced tourist trap. Oliver's is a lovely, neighborhood restaurant that should not be missed. I highly recommend it.

My birthday was Saturday, and sad to say my husband neglected to make plans until the last minute. We will leave "that" discussion for another occasion. However, a friend suggested this place. Not only were they able to accomodate a table for 10 last minute on Sat (which was a feat in itself), the food was fantastic! I ordered bruschetta for the table. They told me the order was three to a plate, so assuming based on past experience at other restaurants what the size would be, I ordered 5. Well - know going in that portions here are large! Each piece was twice the size I expected. I also order escargot that was cooked to perfection and again, the portion was so large I couldn't finish it! I then got the Mahi special - YUM! So, the food gets A+. Now for the wine. While not the largest selection, it was decent and priced more affordably than just about any place in MIA! Yep - you heard me! So go get your drink on and enjoy some great food. Ah - always forget dessert, which I am not generally a fan of, however the cheescake (with candle) was very light and tasty. Creme fraiche and strawberries topped it off without topping me off. So I was more than ready to continue the festivities across the street at the Mondrian. The location is right off the causeway, so no need to get caught up in Beach traffic or tourists. I will definitely be going back.

Was looking for a place to catch a good South Beach breakfast and find Oliver's here on Yelp... Nice location, and for a Sunday morning, it wasn't too hot to sit outside. The food was really great, but the service was not so much. All of our glasses were empty, as well as all the other tables outside. I noticed a bunch of people with menus, waiting for waitstaff. I would still recommend this place, though.

Andrea R.

Getting pampered makes me hungry! Who am I kidding? Everything makes me hungry! After a spa day at the Mondrian hotel my mom and I were ready for dinner...at 5:30pm. You know when you're ready for dinner at 5:30pm you've been spending too much time at the early bird specials in Boca. Our options: Joe's Stone Crab (yum)- 1 hr wait. At 5:30 on a Sunday? Insane! Asia de Cuba- they don't serve dinner until 7pm And so we ended up just down the street at Oliver's. We tried our best to order healthy and settled on the grilled calamari and then the very thin chicken breast with a salad. The chicken breast actually did have a fancy name, but it's escaping my mind right now. The grilled calamari was really good. The rings were very thin and I loved the 2 sauces that came with it...so much that I dipped my bread in it as well (there goes the healthy plan). The chicken breast was a bit plain at first, but then put my salad on top of it...and it was quite flavorful. Our meal turned out to be much less expensive than Joe's and probably a lot healthier than anything we'd find on Asia de Cuba's menu. Thanks to Oliver for feeding us early bird special lovers.

I loved Oliver's so much, I went there three times during a one week stay in Miami for business. It was recommended to us by the concierge at the Mondrian, and had enough seating inside and al fresco. It's a place nice enough to go to on a casual date, but casual enough to go to in your capris and a t-shirt and not feel out of place. First time I had the house salad with tuna ($7 +5.50), the second time I tried the country spaghetti with spicy italian sausage ($15) and the third time I had Fettuccine Carbonara ($13), which was just way too saucy for me. And they have this killer bread with this spread that's made of sour cream, cream cheese and chives. We thought it was butter, but it was worse. Much worse. Let's just cut to the chase. The real reason I went there 3x in one week was the semifreddo oreo pie dessert. O M G. I mean if you love Oreos and ice cream, this dessert is out of control, ridiculously good. Anyone who had any doubts, or who was wavering on having dessert succumbed immediately after the first bite. I wish I hadn't told so many people about it, because each time, we would get one to share and I only got a couple of bites. Nice to sit on the patio under the umbrellas-ellas-ellas and watch the people with dogs stroll by.

I went to Oliver's for brunch on Saturday after an awesome Flywheel ride. They had seating outside in the shade in a quiet neighborhood-- perfect for people watching. I ordered a yummy egg white omelette with veggies and home fries. When I return back to Miami, I will definitely check it out again! Very cute.

Had breakfast with the family. Good place to bring your 4 legged friend and sit outdoors. I recommend the frech toast with bananas. Delicious! Also - we had the corned beef hash and eggs - pretty good, large portion - couldn't finish it! I've read a lot of mixed reviews on yelp regarding the service, but we have been twice for breakfast now on Sunday and our service was just fine and our order came out promptly. Will return.

A good priced, modern and tastely decorated restaurant that has a clean and sunny vibe is exactly what is needed in South Beach. And for breakfast too. I had their french toast which was good (although I must admit that I like Clarke's version better). Here you get four large LARGE slices (and extra thick) of french toast that is well-flavored. The breakfast items are pretty simple though and refreshing - they won't wow anyone except maybe for their portions. I can't wait to come back to try some more stuff out of the menu.

Gnocchi: ok, little too soggy... Grilled tilapia: looked good.. Very plain, spinach was wilted and reheated... Our waitress sucked, but the others were fine. Environment was fine... Close enough to home to go back and see the brunch. Wifi!!

i keep hearing about breakfast here so i made the effort to wake up at a decent time last sunday. getting out of bed is never an easy task for me, especially over the weekends, but when we finally arrived to olivers and sat down by the window, we realized we were too late for breakfast. thats right. we were even too late for their late breakfast which is served until 2.30pm. damn it! fortunately, the rest of their menu looks interesting enough so me and P shared the steamed mussels and the pasta carbonara. must say that service was nice. in spanglish. i seriously enjoyed this because both him and i speak perfect proper spanglish. our food did not take precisely long to come out. the mussels were good, steamed on a tomato and garlic sauce, served with 3 nice pieces of bread. the carbonara sauce was creamy but not so heavy, with pancetta and peas. perfect combo with the mussels. i hope to wake up before 2pm one of these weekends, that way i might be able to try their famed brunch but after reading some of the reviews here, apparently, i need to get the mahi mahi sandwich! ya tu sabes

My favorite breakfast place....the best corned beef hash in town! Good service, nice place, consistent...they just need to fix the front door.

Um, forget breakfast at this place and proceed directly to a blackened Mahi-Mahi sandwich. Probably one of the best I've ever had. Excellent cut of fish cooked to perfection, large portion, great blackened seasoning & the sauce comes on the side, so you can put as much (or not) on as you like. The fries have a nice crispy flavor coating. I pretty much licked my plate, this sandwich & fries = awesome. Service is still pretty slow and inattentive, that's why they can't have 5 stars. I will never order anything except the Mahi from here. Go try one now!

After reading the reviews for Oliver's on Yelp, I decided to buy the Groupon. I paid $10.00 for $20.00 worth of food (I LOVE GROUPON). I just wish my last visit was 4 stars worthy like most of the reviews I read. We arrived at Oliver's and were immediately taken care of, we were seated and we were told our waiter would be right with us. Wait.... Wait... Wait... He finally came and brought us the Menus... Wait... Wait... Wait... Wait... Then he took our order... Wait...Wait... Wait... 20 minutes later the group next to us who arrived 10 minutes after us had their food. Wait... Wait... Wait... Wait... 41 minutes later (Yes I was checking the time) we received our food. The food is what has earned Oliver's the second star. I ordered the Belgium waffle with fresh fruit and whip cream, my little brother had the French Toast (HUGE!!!!) with bananas., and my friend ordered a apple pancake (HUGE) something like that. After my little brother had the French toast he was like "I can't breathe". The French toast was by far the best of the 3. Our waiter was MIA for most of our meal; I would have to ask another waitress if she could please find him. We had to ask for water refills. It was just a HOT MESS. The other disturbing thing was the amount of HUGE flies that were inside. They were everywhere, luckily we sat in an area that didn't have any but we could see them flying around another part of the restaurant. I explained to my waiter the moment I sat down that I had a Groupon, he said "No worries, just give it to me at the end". I did just as he asked. At the end of the meal I pulled up the coupon code from my cell. He started walking around the restaurant lost and confused with my cell phone. Finally, someone who I assume was a manager looked at the Groupon like it was something out of the twilight zone. He then asked me why I hadn't given the code at the beginning of the meal. My eye started twitching and my 10 yr old brother grabbed my arm and before I POPPED OFF, he told me "Don't worry just calm down". It made me laugh so hard. They then got their things together and took $20 off my ticket. I am not rushing to go back to Oliver's anytime soon.

I went here for the first time with a friend for dinner and I truly liked it! She had already been there many times since she lives across the street & she says it's like her favorite place. She mentioned the churrasco is very very good, but this time she had the fried chicken which she also loved. She said she didnt even need a knife to cut through the chicken because of how soft it was. I ordered the salmon which was delicious as well! Prices were reasonable. Waiters & manager were very nice. I'll be going back :)

Great place for dinner or brunch out of the hustle of tourist areas. Food and service are fantastic. Mimosas perfect. Skip the Bloody Mary's. Made with sake not vodka. Definitely a regular spot to frequent.
