- April WallogaNovember 2, 2013Don't go to Jacob's Pickles. Go to Oliver! Love the croque monsieur and polenta with sausage for brunch. Poutine and a good stout is so good at night. And they are the NICEST about dogs on the patio.
Serious EatsApril 22, 2013The grilled cheese itself is a study in buttery sandwich decadence: sharp, pungent cheddar is melted between thick slices of rich brioche that flakes apart with every bite.
Andrew CohenNovember 20, 2011Downtown has arrived uptown at this "new favorite" spot on the UWS. Top notch drinks, tasty gastopub food with a great atmosphere make this a place that will exceed expectations seven nights a week.
DSeptember 28, 2012Grilled Cheese & Tomato Bisque: grilled cheese itself is a study in buttery sandwich decadence: sharp, pungent cheddar is melted between thick slices of rich brioche that flakes apart with every bite.
DJ NRSNovember 12, 2011I LOVE Slightly Oliver. BEST cocktails uptown and the flatbreads are out of this world!!!! I would highly recommend this place for sophisticated palates craving gourmet comfort food.
Danielle LandauFebruary 24, 2013Onion rings and fried artichokes are fantastic! Drinks are just okay - get an actually tasty $8 punch instead of a $14 "tasty cocktail."
MyCheck USMarch 6, 2013They now accepts payment through MyCheck app. This free app saves you time and lets you pay your tab right from your phone, no waiting for the bartender! Keep on the lookout for coupons and deals!
The Wall Street JournalApril 5, 2012"Slightly Oliver" means slightly drunk in cockney slang. And it is pretty easy to get that way at the sophisticated new Upper West Side bar of the same name. Read more
lizzy bJuly 13, 2013The crepes were a hit with my 7yr old as was the big high booth in the front for some good people watching!
Jon MurataAugust 24, 2013The food is great! They must have a new chief . Worth checking out! They have a great happy hour.
Stephanie TaboneSeptember 29, 2013The cheese plate is about as light as an astronaut in outerspace....but as our waiter pointed out, "I'm sure it was well-deserved."
Mato DurisApril 28, 2013I really loved their interpretation of Bloody Mary I've got with brunch, but I don't remember the drink's name :(
Matthew TuckerMay 28, 2013Good for meetup with buddies for beer, but take the date somewhere with better drinks. The "signature" negroni and "tasty" margarita are pretty bland, which fits in with the food. Stick to the basics.
Willow _November 5, 2012If you miss the slightly green martini- the tomato and basil is an excellent substitute.
Kate LenoraJanuary 29, 2013The grilled cheese with tomato bisque is AMAZING. The brussel sprouts were super fresh too.
Jim PharisAugust 16, 2012Like everybody says the cocktails are good. Beer though, they serve in these dinky glasses for the same price you'd expect to pay for a full pint.
Lindsay AndersonJanuary 19, 2013enormous, good fish and chips. tied with jones wood foundry for the best uptown
Looks like they changed the menu up. Where is the chicken sliders and lamb shepherds pie? Still a decent joint tho.
Jeremy KaganOctober 28, 2011Great good and better cocktails! Ask for one of Dmitri's special creations
Benedict JoanisSeptember 2, 2013Jacob's Pickles is better but they've got a good chicken liver mousse!!!
BULLDOG GinMay 7, 2012It's been a long week. You deserve a tipple or two. Call for a BULLDOG and tonic and let the night begin.
Ebru GulenerAugust 6, 2013Service , chef, are all trying to adapt .. All new..But anyway they are polite. Sorry no advice...
Emmy GeraghtyAugust 11, 2013Had to ask the hostess to get our waitress and the hostess was very rude when we did. Took forever to get out food. Food wasn't bad but not that great. Won't go again.
try the oliver cilantro....really fresh and yummie...
Carol ParkNovember 5, 2011Horrible service. Waited 10 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us after we were seated. Another half hour for appetizers that required assembly only. Come if you're craving bad service and so-so food
Brenda DarcyJune 1, 2012The one thing thats annoying is that even when they are empty, they won't seat you. This isn't some hip club...its the Upper West side.
Brooklyn HammerApril 6, 2013Most of the menu is stolen from Jamie Oliver's cookbook. Place is a bit overpriced and waiting for Gordon Ramsey to have this place on his kitchen nightmare show. NAFF
