Reviews
"I went here to have dinner with my aunt. We both loved Olea. We came at the tail end of happy house and grabbed the house red. It was a good red unlike your typical house selection. I had the pumpkin soup with candied chickpeas and it was absolutely fantastic. Perfect meal for a cold winter day. My aunt had the filet of sole which she also loved. We also had sole “fish sticks” to kick off the meal which we peculiar but also very good. I would absolutely come pack. Great place for a date, a small birthday dinner, or just a night out with the Judys."
"Nice and cozy interior, but we sat outside under one of the heated lamps. Servers were nice and friendly, food was good. They have one warm cocktail-a spiked apple cider that was good, as well as some hot teas. The trio of dips is great for sharing (the feta labneh is very feta forward, but in a good way), the patatas bravas was great, the fried halloumi I could do without (I prefer grilled and think you lose some of the texture once it’s fried). The brisket was a great main; slightly sweet and accompanied the Greek salad nicely. The pumpkin basque cheesecake had a nice texture and spice to it."
"A favorite spot for many and for good reason. The food is thoughtfully prepared and served. New takes on traditional ingredients. I especially appreciate the falafel encrusted artichoke appetizer. We ordered the Greek paella, perfectly portioned and prepared for two. The atmosphere is eclectic and relaxed, church pew seating, well rubbed bronze accents, Mediterranean tiling with weathered wood all combine for a delightful dinner. I’m never disappointed when I visit, and the staff are all wonderful."
"Great food and a comfy atmosphere. Stopped by during the afternoon at happy hour and was presented with unique dishes that had great flavor. It gets a bit busy, but the service remains excellent. Their ingredients were fresh and local. Cocktails were well crafted. The raspberry sorbet ice cream was creamy and sweet!"
"What an amazing experience from the moment you walk in the service is personal . Our waiter was such a good means of giving suggestions. The dips were incredible we tried the humus, red pepper and you can’t go to a Mediterranean restaurant without some tzatziki all the breads were fresh and tasty. We also ordered the fried Brussel sprouts, dates wrapped in bacon, mussels and for me my absolute favorite was the split pea soup, different never had it quite like this but it was delicious even with a beets. I also ordered the Bronzino which was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right As for my son he loved the brisket with mash. Espresso martini was a perfect dessert pairs with the sesame ice cream. And even though we were the last ones to sit on Christmas Eve they really treated us with so much poise, warm, it really felt as if we had gone to eat at a family members house. I will be back!"
