    Another fabulous dining experience at Olea! From the hostess who assured us we would be warm enough on the patio (we were), to the server, Amber, who treats us as family - to the food which was hot and delicious!

    Pretty good food, ok service, not too noisy so our table of four could actually hear each other. I would give it another try and next time I would know to reserve a booth. You have to ask for one otherwise you will be seated at a table in the middle of the aisle that a lot of people are walking past and bumping into your chair.

    Great experience for a busy Friday evening. Seating was quick and table was comfortably located. We brought Champagne for an anniversary celebration. The server was very helpful to open, pour and chill the champagne before asking for our orders. Starters were great with brussels, focaccia bread and dipping sauce. Entrées were very tasty including halibut, salmon, filet and a bone in rib eye. They even brought a special dessert for the celebration. No rush to flip the table so we stayed and talked almost to closing. Will be back!

    Nice restaurant. Not fancy, but not basic either. All food was excellent. Prices a bit high, but not outrageous. Service good. I would go there again.

    Service was excellent. The Brussels sprouts and Pork Belly, and the Big Meatball were really outstanding. It is a comfortable neighborhood gem!

    Requested a booth for 2 for birthday celebration so we could sit next to each other. They honored request and even included a birthday desert complimentary. The waiter was friendly with great recommendations. The food was served quickly and was prepared as requested. The filet was awesome. Definitely a place I would visit again.
