    Very good choice before the show at the Jubilee. Carpaccio and beet salad were excellent, as was the service. Food served promptly. That was my first visit to this restaurant, but I will be back.

    We were told we booked late so we was sit at patio. I watched throughout the night, the inside restaurant was never full. Many empty tables. Second, we had a girl long chat dinner night. Restaurant was not busy. We stay late. There was no reason why the waitress needed to rush us through and made us paid the bill early. I got that she might finish her round. I could easily order a coffee and more dessert. I did not like how our services were.

    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.
