    Ambiance was wonderful. Not crowded on a Tuesday My husband ordered the Chicken schnitzel and it was lovely. Great flavor. I had the special which was the spiny lobster on a bed of house made pasta. Never had the spiny lobster (probably won’t again) and I found it quite “chewy”. Flavor was good, but won’t order it again. We will come back next time we pass through, but try something different.

    Olea charged us for birthday dessert— which is odd because it isn’t like we got to choose the dessert.

    It was my family's first time here and they loved the food and the ambiance. They kept raving about it on the way home. We ordered the Agnolotti, Bread&Butter, Short Rib Pasta, Salmon, Halibut and the Chefs Special. They are definitely going to choose Olea for their next outing.

    My wife and I had a date night. It is the first time we went to Olea. We were met at the door by a professional host with a smile!! She took us to our table immediately. My wife is eating vegetarian and she had many options to choose from. That is rare with most restaurants! We ordered Fried Green Tomatoes with Fresh Burrata, Spring Garlic & Sweet Pea Agnolotti, Farmer's Market Vegetable & Organic Italian Farro and I had Crispy Jidori Chicken Schnitzel with Maitake Mushrooms & Vegetables. Our server was friendly and very attentive. Our food arrived timely giving us enough time between courses. The taste of the food was AMAZING! We ended with the Mixed Berry Crisp and coffee. We will make Olea a favorite on our list of restaurants to dine at. Thank you to the staff, both front and back of the house!!
