    Food was excellent, service was great. When we were first seated, we had a large group of very loud business men seated right next to us. So loud that our conversation was completely drowned out. The staff was great and they relocated us to another table in a much quieter area. The rest of the dining experience was excellent

    Everything at Olea was excellent! The food and the service wonderful. The restaurant has an eclectic vibe. I will definitely go there again. The only issue was the people at the table next to us were extremely loud. This isn’t the restaurants fault it was just bad luck we were seated near them.

    Took a girlfriend out to celebrate becoming a mom, and we shared a few different apps and a few cocktails. The best servers and the food was perfect. The chicken wings and pumpkin and truffle goat cheese agnolotti were my absolute favorites. The Brussels sprouts and house special chicken meatballs and pasta were a close second. Olea is my go-to restaurant because they have such a variety of items, and I am never disappointed.
