Olivier Bistro – Updated 2026, French Restaurant in Brooklyn, NY
Reviews
– fried Artichoke – crispy and yummy (without greasy or oily taste to it).
And the start of the night was the steak! Holy Shmoley! I This steak was by far one of the best (everyojebin our party agreed with this)! Perfectly done with thin, crispy french fries and terragon sauce -(I am salivating just thinking about it:)
Service was absolutely amazing! Our waiter was not only professional but very friendly (that you will hardly find in France ), he was always there when we needed anything. His recommendations were on point.
Do yourself a favor – and go for a nice family dinner or a romantic date – this place will become your favorite low-key restaurant.
Got an intense ginger to drink and the hangar steak frites. Highly recommend. I think i made the wrong choice going shallot sauce over the peppercorn bernaise.
UPDATE:
Oliver’s: Once a Favorite, Now a Maybe
I’ve been a longtime fan of Oliver’s — the ambiance, the French bistro aesthetic, the sense that you’ve stumbled into a little corner of Paris tucked into Brooklyn. But my most recent visit made me question if the magic is fading.
Service: Cold and Defensive
Our waitress was… difficult. Dismissive, oddly defensive, and unwilling to take accountability. At one point, she claimed I didn’t get the dessert menu because I had stepped outside to smoke — which I hadn’t. Instead of simply placing the menu on the table like any competent server would, she made it my fault. That kind of interaction just kills the mood.
Food: Technically Fine, Totally Forgettable
Everything was cooked well, sure. But nothing tasted like anything special. Sauces were bland. Seasoning was minimal. No dish stood out. It all felt uninspired, like the chef was following a script but forgot the soul.
Price: $127 — For What?
With service that felt icy and food that didn’t deliver, $127 for one person felt absurd. I’ve had better meals at half the price where I was treated like a human being, not an inconvenience.
⸻
I’m hoping this was just an off night. Oliver’s has been great in the past. But the vibe, the food, and the service all missed the mark — and for now, I can’t recommend it the way I used to.
Prices are quite high, but so are everyone else’s. Only a little disappointing coming from Paris a few weeks ago, where the same meal is 1/3 the price. Welcome to the US in 2026!
My only real complaint is that the waiter made us a bit uncomfortable by interrupting every five minutes to refill our water. I appreciate the earnest service, but would strongly prefer a carafe!
