Olea Newport Beach

Fabulous!! Our favorite restaurant! I have several allergies & they are always happy to work with me & prepare my food perfectly!!

Some of the best food I have had in a long time. We had the duck wings which were perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender in the middle, and the pea agnolotti with brown butter and pistachios which was absolutely perfect. The drink selection was also fantastic and our server Sarah was very knowledgeable and friendly and really made our experience fantastic. I look forward to going again!

They handled all the COVID restrictions with class and dignity. The food is always top notch. They also cared for us really well on our anniversary. Highly recommend.

Wonderful service and delicious food! Cannot wait to go back!

Dining out on the extended patio was delightful. Our sweet server took all the changes in stride and provided us with a fun dining experience. As always, the food is perfect. On a warm summer night, we kept it light. Soup, salad and split a bubbly mac and cheese. Great wine and cocktails to explore.

It wasn’t bad it just wasn’t amazing. Price seems high for what it was even though the portions were really big. Maybe do smaller portions and do them better? Staff was the best part. Great service. Good location. Good wine.

a bit pricey but food very well prepared.
great service!

Oleas continues to be one of our favorite restaurants! The food is unsurpassed and the cocktails are always first class. They have been hard at work through out this pandemic to offer top quality food for takeout, and now for unparalleled dining experience. We were there to celebrate my son’s birthday, and everyone couldn’t stop licking their chops, and fingers!!!

The menu has exceptional variety & the food delivers outstanding preparation. Bar service of beverages was a bit slow. Will be back for another meal soon

The ribs were overcooked , the vegetables under cooked and still very hard, and the salmon was undercooked and still raw

Incredible people, outstanding service and food quality was unparalleled. Thank you for the exceptional experience!

Great little dining spot . Their corn chowder was amazing and the rest of our meal was delicious . Great service and the kitchen is also on point . ❤️

Our waitress, Sarah was wonderful. She was so sweet and attentive. The food was amazing! We were visiting from Houston,Tx and we were saying we need this restaurant there. We ordered the chicken schnitzel and Mac and cheese and it was absolutely delicious. The drinks are great too. So glad we went there!

Wonderful service and great food!

Still drooling over the baked oyster appetizer. We had to try it, and they were delicious. Our server was wonderful as well and the restaurant is adapting well to the new normal.

Great place for good food and drinks. Always love the service.

First visit, will certainly return! Great all around, they have a fan in me.

Excellent food and service as always. We love Olea so much and we’re so glad they are back open for dining

Absolutely wonder experience all around! Duck wings are the best, and the truffle fries are amazing and worth the trip alone. Lots of locals, as it doesn’t attract the tourist crowd. Give them some love. You won’t be disappointed.

Great food, Matt their chef was personable and watching every dish that comes out of the kitchen, the dishes were unique and exceptional!! Great experience here.

Anniversary

Olea is my favorite new restaurant in Orange County. Delicious food great crafted cocktails. Ive tried all of them now:) Love the Mezcal cocktail.

Pricey for ambiance and quality.

Food was excellent, as usual, wait staff was extremely pleasant, the whole experience was a solid ten plus. we'll be back regularly.

The diver scallops were amazing, and the fried green tomatoes and burrata were a tasty snack with my sapphire martini (stirred, not shaken). The quality was as good as always, even in this new re-opening time.

Service, food, and ambiance were outstanding! We highly recommend!

Staff was so friendly and accommodating. I requested a surprise champagne for the table and it was waiting and ready to go.

Excellent!

I have been there 4 or 5 times and the food is always great and always the service is great!

Love this place, I have been there 20 times and have had the same thing every time, the
Schnitzel soooo good and he vegetables and spatzel is perfect. Kudos to Kevin one of the owners really knows howto take care of his customers.

We went with our kids but there was a mix crowd of couples, families and friend dining. It’s a great place for all.

We were thrilled to be able to dine at a real restaurant FINALLY, and were so happy we choose to "break the fast" with Olea! It was the absolute best experience with great service, food, ambiance and cheer! We had Fried Green Tomatoes, oysters, cocktails and wine, and the special meatball and hand-cut fries. YUM. So many delicious sounding entrees to go back for, too. Thank you, Olea!

Party of 6 had a great dinner

We had a lovely dinner on Friday! The service was amazing and the food was really good.

love it. so glad they are back open. all the old faces plus chefs specials made it a great experience.

You have to try the brussels sprouts

This was as close to a perfect dining experience that we've ever had in Orange County.

I came to Olea for the first time during OC Restaurant Week. It was one on my list to try for quite some time. The OCRW menu had many good options and good portions. We enjoyed three appetizers, all of which I would order again. My rating of the food as "good", is because two entrees were slightly overcooked and the creme brulee was too cold. This is just me being overly critical. Next time we will order a steak, which seems to be their specialty.

I had read about the 3 restaurants and was interested in trying out Olea. The restaurant I had a cool vibe and decor and some nice cocktails to use from, however we weren’t impressed with our dinners. My husband ordered the rib eye and it was basically raw - ordered medium rare and I had the Halibut- which was over cooked and dry. Restaurant was at approx 70% capacity, so not too busy. Reservations were recommended. Service and ambiance was great.

Great service and fabulous food. We enjoyed restaurant week here, it was a really good value. Steak, lamb shank, halibut were all yummy and plated beautifully. Our server was on top of it! Cocktails were creative and delish.
