    The tables were not cleaned. We moved to the second table & it wasn’t wiped down either. Not much options for food.

    Went to Olea for the YYC food experience and was able to savour wonderful dishes made by Olea. Flavours and presentation of the dishes were wonderful. Prices were very reasonable and didn't feel bloated after eating there. Definitley will return to Olea.

    I thought the whole point of yyc experience was for the chefs to get creative & not just pick out items from the existing menu? The chicken piri piri was bitter. I wouldn’t order that again. Good prices for the cocktails during happy hour!

    It was our first time at Olea, and I can only say it's a must to eat here. The food was so good and at a reasonable price. Special thanks to Eliza for a great service! Will recommend it to my family and friends.

    YYC Exp lunch - on the menu two options for each course, we tried both and it was a great way to trie Olea’s style. The server was also a bartender and she makes killer cocktails. Definitely will be coming back.

    Tuna appy was delicious. The PiriPiri chicken was not made to order. It was pre made and heated up for service. The seasoning on the sides was too aggressive and salty. Server was very friendly and nice. Decor was modern and clean.

    Get the spaghetti meatballs. The contrast between the wagyu tomato meatballs and the blanco truffle pasta was amazing. The pesto didn’t really stand out and I don’t think we would get it again. Although it could be that we were just blown away by the first pasta dish. Pear and Brie pizza was really good as well. Will definitely be back!
