~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thursday Night Print and use these coupons for some great savings on your dining experience. Get Twisted! . . . without hurting yourself or others There’s a great new eatery and drinking-hole serving the uptown Portland art, culture, shopping, and cinema scene. Oliver's will remind busy shoppers why they can patronize simple, elegant eateries and come away with something more substantial. Offering tasty soups, hefty burgers and delicious entrees in a warm and homey environment, Oliver's also makes delectable sandwiches and fresh salads available to-go upstairs and quickly, including a Portland newcomer, the Lobster Po’ Boy. The Wednesday Night Starving Students Discount they offer couldn’t be more welcome to the Portland State University crowd. Faculty, staff and students can snap up 14” pizzas ranging from BBQ Thai to Shrimp Pesto, but they’ll pay only two-thirds the normal price of a gourmet pizza – and they deliver too! Seafood-lovers will delight in their lobster pot-pie. Meat-loving English scallywags such as Sam Hall will rub grubby paws together at first whiff of Oliver’s Pie or the roasted chicken dish accompanied by mash and pan gravy. Peasant folk will find several delicious vegetarian items and even a Roasted Vegan pizza. Portland’s many Oliver Twists will no doubt be asking for more bowls of this. Perfect before the theater . . . even better afterwards The loss of the Vat and Tonsure and Hamburger Mary’s is still felt in the downtown area, especially to Guild Theater, Movie House and the old Fox Theater patrons. Oliver's serves Guinness at only $4, however, and PBR pounders for half that, which will encourage sampling from their eclectic menu. Instead of harfing on palm oil-poisoned popcorn and fake-cheese nacho theater snacks, movie-goers can sink their choppers into a grilled baguette Bruschetta for about the same price or into a Portobello burger or Chicken Club for not much more. If they finish their homework, students can slink into cozy booths and ponder the Pickwick Papers into the wee hours. They’ll be fueled by stiffly poured, superbly mixed, fruit-and-citrus themed drinks such as the Twisted Martini, Washington Red Apple and Oliver’s Orange (each at only $6/). Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Business people, bus commuters and tourists deserve hearty breakfast options in addition to nearby, over-priced hotel fare. Those who wake-up a little later in the day can still get breakfast until 11 a.m. The Hazelnut Hotcakes are a steal at $5 a plate and might be nice with a dollop of tart applesauce. Tourists and conference-attendees from the heartland will amaze at the size and salivate at the savory texture of the ham-steaks that are served with two fresh eggs, cubed potatoes and buttery toast (for only $8). The coffee’s hot and the service is prompt and friendly. Movie-goers, lunch-time shoppers and music-lovers will rest a little easier knowing that a healthy Reuben sandwich, an authentic Caesar salad, and a decent microbrew is available nearby. Workers of the World, Eat Here! Oliver's is committed to the community in ways more than one. Sunday Service Industry Nights admirably recognize the work of cooks and servers, busers and hostesses, dishwashers and revelers. Wait staff grad students can drown their sorrows in a stiff drink or three as they ponder their next Marxist tract. Patrons thoughtful enough to bring in a new book on Monday nights can be assured that contributions will be made to the charitable efforts of the Multnomah County Library and to battered women’s shelters and they receive a hefty discount on their meal too! In attempting to replicate the home-spun atmosphere and tasty fare served at proud old haunts, the new owners of Oliver's have a lot on their plate, but their new patrons are going to have even more.
