    The place is small but has indoor and outdoor seating. The food comes out timely, the waiting staff is good. Everything taste decent, it's definitely worth a try.

    Best corner bistro in Macon. Serving for both Lunch and Dinner. For app starters try the sweet potato fries. Our main course consisted of; 1. Excellent sweetened Salmon garnished with brussel spouts and pasta salad 2. Pesto chicken fettuccine - cooked perfectly 3. Turkey melt with a side of fries. The bistro building matched the downtown vibe which is a nineteenth century civil war era. Also, our waiter was very attentive however it did take time to receive our order due to time of day.

    I was very underwhelmed by this restaurant. I did not have a bad experience but everything seemed mediocre. The service was fine, the food is good and the restaurant was well decorated and clean. The staff did not present well and this restaurant could have some class. After a short but considerable wait on a table, we were given the opportunity to sit at one of the tables in the bar area. A party left just ahead of us sitting down and the staff failed to thoroughly clean the dining area. My wife and I both ordered a sandwich with fries and a small salad. Complete assumption on our part but we prefer that a salad comes prior to a meal...but this is on us for not asking. All of the food was exactly as we ordered. They serve large portions here. I would dine here again but I would expect to have a stellar experience on my next visit or it would be my last.

    Seasonal risotto with salmon

    Food was absolutely delicious, and our server was great as well. We loved sitting at the window table so we could watch the sunset as we dined.

    Ribeye

    RUN, do not walk to Oliver's. We randomly stopped for the night in Macon and yelped where to go. Ok so Oliver's got top rating, let's try it out. The $40 ribeye is worthy of double to triple the price. I'm from Charleston and this beats out steakhouses there. Service is amazing as well. Aidan is unbelievable!!! Give this man a raise immediately, if not sooner. Haven't met a server this great in years. I guess I'll have to stop back here again randomly! Just had to update because the deserts. I might now move here because of the chocolate cake. The chocolate cake increased real estate values in Macon Georgia. Wow

    Attended a Christmas Celebration with Forever Diamonds last week, and my First Experience with Oliver's was outstanding. Everyone and everything was great. The atmosphere was perfect as downtown Macon at this corner at Popular and 2nd Street is an absolute pleasure to visit. The Bloody Mary spicy was great. Our table service team did an excellent job. The appetizers were really good. And my Rosotto Salmon dish was outstanding. All in all a perfect night. Thank you Oliver's & Forever Diamonds. Two outstanding business. Merry Christmas!

    What an amazing place... After visiting another place that appeared to be out of business, I decided to drive to downtown to try Oliver's corner bistro. Being that I was dining by myself, I chose to sit at the bar. Brooklyn, the bartender/server, was friendly, attentive, and very personable. I wasn't super hungry, so I decided to try the tomato bisque soup and the pesto cheese bread starter. Both tasted fresh and very flavorful. It tasted a little like a high-end, deconstructed grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. While I was enjoying my food at the bar, Brooklyn told me about other menu items, including some from the Saturday and Sunday brunch menu. I'll definitely have to return the next time I stop in Macon. Cheers

    Way to go Macon- you are two for two with meals today. My coworkers and I had a wonderful meal! Our server Megan was attentive but not a hoverer. The place was busy with a couple of large groups at one table. The kitchen was cranky out food, though. We had little lag time between ordering and eating. We started at the bar prior to sitting down for dinner and the bartender was talented and engaging. There was a set menu that was populated by specials of the day. I chose the ravioli of the day- stuffed smoked chicken with ricotta. Perfect portion size and very tasty. All three of us enjoyed our meals.

    Went here for our 1st brunch. Had a great time Skylar was super friendly! Got the carafe of cranberry and pineapple mimosas. We had the avocado toast to start. And I had the shrimp and grits! Oh my it was super good! The sauce wasn't too heavy. And the shrimp were prefect. My fiancé loved his pancakes too! We sat in the back of the restaurant. It was a good brunch atmosphere.

    This is probably my favorite restaurant in town. I got the salad with salmon and it was the best.

    I'm here to call him here at the Olive Garden I ordered tour of Italy it had veal & lasagna and…read morefettuccine. Add iced tea iced tea with no sugar.My father had Parmesan spaghetti and we all had soup salad. My mother had salad she had fettuccine she had tea . The waitress is nice. The the ambience I'm here right now getting ready to get up. Have a few pictures.

    My experience at Olive Garden was honestly very disappointing. We waited longer than the time we…read morewere originally told, and once we were seated, it took forever for someone to take our order. When they finally did, we ordered our food and drinks at the same time, but it still took a very long time to receive both. When our food finally came out, all three of our orders had something incorrect. My fettuccine Alfredo was cold, and the noodles were stiff and dry. I had ordered broccoli with my Alfredo, but it was missing. At that point, I honestly didn't even complain because we had already been waiting for so long. My bread was also extremely stale. Not just slightly hard, but so stale it was difficult to enjoy. My friend's spaghetti was also incorrect and somehow had multiple different types of noodles mixed into the dish. On top of everything else, the fire alarm went off twice while we were there, which made the experience even more chaotic and unpleasant. There was also no music playing in the restaurant, so the atmosphere felt awkward and uncomfortable. The only noise in the restaurant other than quiet chatter was the vacuum right beside me. Overall, the entire experience was frustrating from beginning to end. Between the longer-than-expected wait, slow service, delayed drinks and food, all three meals coming out incorrectly, and the overall chaotic atmosphere, it was definitely not the experience we expected. We understand restaurants can get busy and mistakes happen, but there were just too many issues during one visit for us to overlook. And the restaurant wasn't even busy. Will not be returning. Awful. Zero stars, but it won't let me choose that as an option so they get one star.
