    Really warm environment, $1 oyster Happy Hour special is a winner, and wonderful chocolate cake with ice cream and raspberry sauce for desert. What's missing? The mussels in the entree were tiny.

    I'm obsessed with their eggs benedict, but really anything with poached eggs is a sure bet. Love this place!

    Ideal French bistro: good food at very good price and laissez-faire attitude (this is a good thing). Please visit again and again, we need more places like Olivier!

    Everything is good here! Brunch especially. The service is tight and fast, but fuck if they only take cash. Hey the IRS called they want their money...still worth swinging by the ATM.

    Steak and eggs come with a side salad and fries. Delicious and very filling! Their bellinis and mimosas are great too!

    The meat was 100% fat I wanted to throw up. It looks cute but the food is 😬 play it safe and get waffles or something

    They have a coffee window in the morning during the summer. Excellent service.

    It feels like an absurdly overpriced Midtown cafe that got lost in Brooklyn. $1.50/oyster isn't really a happy hour deal. The food and drinks are fine, but you'll pay 30-40% more than you should.

    Outdoor coffee window is handy, but the drinks are a bit pricier than they need to be.
