Olivier's Restaurant Review

: Olivier’s is situated on a well-trafficked, high-energy corner, but it’s one of those comfortable places that locals are so used to that they tend to forget about it. Still, the occasional meal there is a pleasant trip back to an “old friend.” The food is consistent and service is satisfactory, if not as sharp as it should be. Traditional Creole dishes, such as shrimp Creole and crawfish etouffée, are the real reason to dine at Olivier’s. Can’t decide? Try the “Taster’s Platter,” featuring fish, shrimp, oysters, crab and salmon cakes, and the house Creole gumbo. Decades of perfecting preparations are evident, especially in some of the more complex dishes, such as the roasted honey-glazed pork medallions, served with a spicy pineapple-plum mint sauce. Desserts are satisfying, if not revolutionary. Look for local favorites such as bread pudding, bourbon pecan pie, peach cobbler and cheesecake. Olivier’s wine list, international in scope, covers the necessary bases, but could be enhanced with additional selections. Most diners will find a bottle to complement their meal.
