What User doesn't like about Oliver's Harbor Bar:
The place was pretty empty so we were seated quickly. The service was good however not as good as I would have expected given we were one of just a few tables. My food was “okay” but not memorable. My husbands was about the same. My son had a salad which he said was good but not sure you can mess up a basic salad. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go back. View all feedback.
