Best rib steak ever. Cooked to perfection, but what do you expect at $55 a pop?Allover a good experience. Asked the waiter what was meant by filet-mignon on the bone? He mumbled ( as you should when in doubt) and I never got an intelligent answer. There's tenderloin on the menu as wll and then filet mignon which is tenderloin as well.I spent 50+years in the meat biz, removed thousands of tenderloins but never heard of 'on the bone'...a mystery!
We dined at Olivers and had a less than spectacular experience.
The food was excellent and well prepared, but the service lacked. In our opinon, it lacked greatly. We were left so disappointed that I felt the need to write a bad review saying how the resteraunt did not care about it's patrons and how they didn't make any attempt to right the wrongs. I also wrote directly to the restaurant and relayed our tale of poor service.
What followed was a four day conversation with the maitre d and owner. During that time, he apologized, offered a complimentary dinner to make up for the unexpected amount of patrons that evening that lead to poor service and also left me believng without a doubt he was sincerely not happy with their perfomance that night.
Anyone can have an off night, an it appears we hit Olivers during the "Taste of Oakvile" promotion that caused an unexpected amount of walk in's on a Sunday night.
Bottom line, They went out of their way to correct the poor service and it was obvious they do care tremendously about their patrons and the level of service they provide.
Anyone can make mistakes. They accepted responsibility and set everything right. Impresive customer service in this day and age.
We will return and enjoy that great food again.

-Drinks constantly topped up
-Food is received Warm
-Simple decor
-Traditional old style simple fine dining
-Quiet Atmosphere
-Warm and cozy
-Steak cooked beautifully
-Small portions
Cons
-Although staff is friendly and attentive they seem not to communicate with each other as we were asked the same questions 2 minutes apart very annoying
-Some drinks were too strong where you didn't taste the flavour of it just alcohol
-Appetizers although were kept warm were being brought back to our table instead of being served and left there for us to enjoy
-Appetizers weren't impressive, anyone can make goat cheese crostinis, calamari is so overrated, sliced steak ....anyway from fine dining you would expect more lavish appetizers...there is so many options in the culinary world.
-Food presentation is very poor, customers are paying big bucks Chef needs to be more creative!
-Lobster tail was too rubbery almost very hard not tender, overcooked
-mashed potatoes were boring and bland...they need work
-Chocolate Cheesecake needs to be more fluffy not so condensed
-Staff wanted us out at the end of the night by standing around and giving off the get out vibe
-Female server would eavesdrop into our conversations and be at times mouthy thinking we were talking about her A BIG NO NO in a dining experience!
-way too dark couldn't see my food
Overall seems like once upon a time this place was a gem, but the fire in someones belly burned out and the passion was lost. Now its just making money from suckers like us! Too bad...
I went here for a first date. It was on a Sunday, so the restaruant was pretty quiet which was nice. The waiter was SO nice and spoke directly to both me and my date (unlike some who just talk to the man and ignore the lady). Appetizers were sooooo good, as was our meals, however, after sampling the food at alot of 4-star restaruants, it wasn't really THAT impressive. Good, high quality, great flavour, but I've had more impressive meals.
