Oliver's, from the owner of Blue Island Oyster Bar, serves up stellar negronis, pasta and pinsa (think pizza, but a little different).
Beginning Monday, October 30, Oliver's will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday."This idea of wanting great food and nice cocktails and good wine at an independently owned restaurant, we don't get a lot of that in the suburbs," says Sean Huggard, owner of Shucking Good Hospitality, which operates Blue Island Oyster Bar."That's where we come in.
The front windows at Oliver's are intentionally covered with graphics that tease what's inside without giving a clear view into the dining room; they're meant to create some mystery and intrigue. There's also a connected indoor/outdoor terrace running along one side of the building — a project that took some convincing to get approval for from the landlord and the city, Huggard notes."At night, the terrace just glows. It's beautiful," he says.
The pastas, in particular, are all about showing off quality, simple ingredients. The pasta limone , for example, is made with just lemon juice, butter and Parmesano Reggiano, but the resulting dish is decadently creamy. Other cocktails, which range from $14-$15.50, include another winner for lemon lovers, the gin-based Limonata."It's got everything that's good about a lemon — limoncello, lemon curd, which brings this really beautiful, creamy texture," says general manager Joey Vosveld., and all kinds of styles can now be found in the Mile High, but Oliver's has managed to bring something new to the scene."All pinsa is pizza but not all pizza is pinsa," Huggard explains.
