Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Olney

Brought friends from out of town to catch up. I’ve been here a handful of times, always have a good experience and nice time. Friends were happy and full at the end of our meal. Our server was tentative enough we felt taken care of each time she touched the table.

Went to celebrate a birthday and brought a cake with us. They were very supportive and took it right away to their kitchen fridge. After we finished our meal, it was unwrapped with a candle lit, ready to go. They even wrapped the leftover cake in the original container. Steak, as expected, was top tier. Cowboy ribeye is a personal favorite.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Ela Mesa. The authentic Greek food was delicious and paired beautifully with their Greek wine. The restaurant and restrooms were spotless. Our server Wellington was professional and attentive. Prices were a little on the high side but expected for the area. Although we were just passing through the area, we look forward to a return visit in the future.

We've been dining at this hidden gem regularly for 20+ years. It's our absolute go-to for multigenerational gatherings and special occasions. We do takeout on occasion. They also have a great early bird menu that is available until 6:30 on weekdays. Don't be fooled by the vintage decor and classic menu. The food is excellent every time, and the specials are always different and wonderful. My favorites are any of the fish dishes (menu or special), the caldeirada, and the chicken Marsala. The lamb dishes are always perfectly done as well. I've never had anything that didn't leave me wanting to lick the plate. For dessert the pasteis de Nata (Portuguese custard tart). And a carafe of Portuguese red wine tops it off great! The staff is gracious and friendly and flexible about substitutions. If you're looking for delicious and expertly executed classic cuisine, this is the place for you!

Food and service were great. (Thanks Chef and Gena!) Nice ambience. Glad to have discovered this gem in Wheatom. Will definitely be back!
