    Always delicious but wait staff not as attentive as on my past visits (possibly due to large number of customers since it was ladies night and good summer weather). Still a very pleasant experience—thank you!

    Our server, Mateo, was excellent and on top of everything. I even spilled my drink and he brought me a fresh one as staffers immediately cleaned up the table. I had the champagne oysters, and mussels in lobster bisque, and both were delicious. Only downside is that it’s loud - it’s all tile, brick and wood, nothing to muffle the noise, although we were there on a busy Friday night so I’m sure it was a bit more lively than a weeknight.

    Olea is an outstanding restaurant. Its modern Spanish cuisine is creative as it combines ingredients in special ways and uses ingredients in innovative ways. The menu is spot on. The wine list is very good, emphasizing Spanish wines, but presenting a good selection of other terroirs as well. The service was outstanding. We thank Hugo for helping to make our evening perfect.
