This may be our new favorite place – yes – it’s that good, no, it’s that GREAT, and we are not overhyping it here.

Jim took me on an early Valentine’s secret dinner to OLIVERIA KITCHEN where they have a full vegetarian/vegan menu. Everything on it can be made to order vegan, so you and your friends are covered. This place is the definition of ‘swank,’ super modern in style and decor. And the owner/head chef Emerson Amélio de Oliveira could not be more friendly, hilarious, and thoughtful if he tried. He personally greeted us at our table to welcome us.

OK, let’s get to it and talk food: The flavors, textures, and visual styling of plates are outstanding. Menu is broken down into:

SNACKS – we tried the BREAD & BUTTER and JACKIES – both delicious;

STARTERS – we had the CERVICHE, SPAGHETTI, and LADY QUAIL – it was a real toss up as to which was our fave. For Jim it was definitely the LADY QUAIL, for Steve it was the SPAGHETTI;

MAINS – we split the MISS MUFFET AND THE CORNISH SMUGGLER – which had grated black truffle and if you’re not a black truffle fan, we aren’t meant to be lifelong friends who one day trade kidneys.

What more can we say? GO. EAT. ENJOY.
