    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.

    Once we got over the fact Chez Olivier had *NOT* been notified of our booking by OpenTable, they happily accommodated us. We had to change tables because the aircon was very efficient (!), but apart from that slight change, everything else went well. The soups were sensational, especially the bisque homard (creamy, foamed lobster soup), steaks were perfect, hot and well-presented, so much so that we did not have room for dessert. The 2022 Château Cru Godart Côtes Francs from Burgogne was truly memorable (by the glass), as was the Billecart Champagne. Overall the service was attentive and prompt, with extremely pleasant wait staff who kept an eye out for anything we needed. However, my one criticism is OpenTable - why use the service when it doesn't get through to the restaurant, and sadly this isn't the first time this has happened to me. I received 2 notices to confirm my booking and that I would be attending. Great. But to arrive to a busy restaurant & find no booking could have easily ended badly, eating at Maccas instead. Do better, OpenTable. Next time, I'll call the restaurant myself. Not happy.
