A fabulous experience. Every dish was a work of art, visually and their flavours. The wait staff excellently handled a dietary request and the chef offered a meal, not yet on the menu, which was perfect. Paired with a delightful champagne our very special night was made even more special with sparklers decorating the birthday dessert. A memorable evening. French language and music preparing us for a coming trip to La France. Merci beaucoup tout le monde.

We have dined at Chez Olivier many times. The last time was to celebrate a family birthday. Clara and her team provided exemplary service and great hospitality. All dishes were delicious, the beverages were lovely and the ambiance made the occasion special. We recommend Chez Olivier in the highest of terms.

The food was amazing. Great service and very nice and cozy atmosphere. For dinner we had the fresh oysters, the escargots and the baked camembert. They were all excellent and special mention for the camembert! For the mains, we had the duck breast and the $45 special steak on Tuesdays. Both were excellent and the blue cheese sauce, was heaven in a ramekin.
