    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!
