    Loved the place, the food was fantastic, very good crab cakes, fries. Two great filet mignon and the ribs were outstanding!!! Overall the food was five stars. Great service. Prices were high so not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Did not love the music, a little to loud for my tastes but the overall vibe was good and the music was loud but could have been worse, we could still (barely) hear ourselves. The wait staff was great and very attentive. Great service overall. We really enjoyed the experience!!!

    Olea’s service ,atmosphere and food never disappoint. The new expansion of the restaurant and the added element of live music in one of the rooms was really nice and I wish them the best with the new space.

    We were seating outside which was loud and hot & facing the parking lot, not good value. We were not offered to sit inside the restaurant.

    Another great evening at Olea! The curried cauliflower soup, short rib pasta, halibut, and berry cobbler were all excellent 👌. Chatting with Diana was a bonus. Congratulations, Russ Bendel Jr., for your wonderful team!
