Pros:

Room was big, comfortable and clean.

I ate Oliver's bourbon bar.

The bourbon was excellent. Food was comparable to any higher end restaurant such as Ruth Christie.

Prices were not cheap. But similar to what you would pay at any high end restaurant.

Cons:

Oliver's does everything ala carte.

So all your sides would feed 2 or 3 people.
