    It was so nice - we went for our anniversary dinner and they gave us a delicious ice cream dessert to share. Thank you for a lovely evening!

    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!!

    Our waitress was not very welcoming, the chicken schnitzel was great, the braised short rib was good, ambiance was warm, just a little loud.

    Enjoyed our meal on the patio. Lauren was very enthusiastic about the specials - tried the ribs appetizer with a side of vegetables and the meatloaf dinner - both very tasty. Sten , manager stopped by and checked in. Love the patio seating

    Had an incredible girls’ night out at Olea and I can’t stop raving about it! The food was absolutely outstanding—every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and made with such care. The service was top-notch from start to finish; the staff was warm, attentive, and made our night feel extra special. The ambiance was cozy yet lively, perfect for catching up with friends over amazing wine and bites. Can’t wait to come back!

    This restaurant is a regular stop for me for many reasons, of course, the food and the libation but Stan and his staff from Barr to busboy chef tops, and I always meet the best people because I usually die in here solo at the bar and many couples do too and singles and we just have a great night Did I tell you the food is extraordinary? I should’ve mention that I have a hard time making a choice on the menu at every level. I like my martinis and the espresso is a nice dessert.

    Waitress very amiable and helpful. A friend from out of town had a birthday, and they surprised him with an ice cream and candle. A group at the next candle sang him a happy birthday, God restaurant, good food, good communal atmosphere.

    Ordered the 45 day dry aged steak, the meat was cooked just how we ordered (medium rare) which was great however the quality of the steak felt like a Walmart grade quality steak on sale, very chewy, very dry very very fatty (rib eyes are supposed to be fatty but this one was just over the top) on top of the low quality meat my wife and I decided to share the steak and we got hit with a 3 dollar “split fee” had I know if the split fee…. Like seriously, low quality rib eye and hit the party of two with a split fee for sharing the meal? Never going back to Olea, only reason we came is because Bloom is one of our favorite restaurants and thought Olea would be just as good if not better, very disappointed.

    The appetizers are amazing (trout dip to the crab cakes) and the focaccia bread is a must have!
