Olón - Tropicana Atlantic City

Amazing meal!!

We have dined at Olon many times and it has always been an enjoyable experience. But this past Saturday night was a totally different story. Ordered shrimp skewers, Branzino and Chilean Sea Bass. The skewers were brought out and right behind them were our dinners, which the server ran back with as soon as he realized the mistake. We just ate the last skewer and our dinners we’re placed on the table. That not being bad enough, the sea bass was a cold flat piece of fish about 1/4” high, and tasteless. Definitely not the nice thick fluffy piece of fish you would expect for $45.00.
In all fairness, the management realized the mistake of the food coming out all at once and could not do enough for us, but the damage was done, my wife ate her dinner alone while I waited for mine.
So it seems Jose Garces name has become just that, a name to charge a higher price for average food. It’s too bad, “Olan” started good, but has seemed to gone in the wrong direction.

Food was very good. Oysters were delicious as well as our other appetizers and salads. However, the grilled octopus served was tough and tasteless. I would recommend serving Portuguese octopus. I find it more tenderer. Server took the time to inform us about the unfamiliar items on the menu with patience and a smile. Definitely will try it again.

Fantastic food and service
Chefs tasting menu is well worth it

Great food, I was running 1 hr behind and they took care of everything. I arrived and got right in. Night well spent.

My favorite restaurant. Look forward to Olon’s every time we come to Atlantic City. We choose small plates from each section of the menu rather than ordering an entree. If you are unsure of how or what to order, have the chef’s tasting menu but you better be hungry. We always ask for Marisol. She is a pleasure! Looking forward to our next visit.

Cindy was awesome. We will ask for her next time.

Service was so slow and even when I asked for check they didn't bring it. Asked for coffee it never came,
never cleaned off table. Just terrible

The food was decent, very middle of the road, wasn't worth the money for it.

WONDERFUL AND AMAZINGLY FLAVORFUL FROM START TO FINISH!!!! !

Our waitress, Marisol, was very professional, friendly and pleasant. The ambiance was top notch. We loved the table work curtains. The food was A-MA-ZING! Best fish ever. Love this place! Been there three times.

It was fantastic environment was excellent the food was delicious

Excellent service and good food

Not for me. We had the Valentine's Day special which was filet mignon and shrimp. Those were both good, but the side dish of rice and beans was very disappointing. It was mostly beans with some watery rice and had little flavor. I tried to add some of the garlic that was on the side of the plate and salt and pepper, but it still wasn't worth eating. The salad that we ordered had a funny taste. I didn't like the breast that they offered, which was stuffed with a cheese, but it was just sort of o.k. The service was very slow, but that could be because it was Valentine's Day.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had. From entree to sides everything was superb.

The food at Olon was fabulous and the restaurant is very attractive. Our only complaint was the overwhelming odor of cigarette smoke that was throughout the bar and restaurant the entire time we were there. It was extremely unpleasant and almost caused us to leave.

Food and service were great. Our server Cindy was phenomenal. Overpriced entrees but menu has affordable alternatives to make a great meal.

The menu had a lot of choices. The food we ordered was great. Service was fast!! Thanks

Olóns food is top shelf. Everything is perfectly cooked with the right amount of seasonings. If you are looking for an outstanding meal in AC put this place on your list!

Food was wonderful and wait staff very courteous.

Tastefully decorated ocean view and great food. Recommended

What an amazing experience!! Our server Katy was fantastic. We had a party of 9 and 6 of us did the tasting menu. I highly recommend it! It gave us a taste of the menu and everything was delicious! We were the last ones to leave the restaurant and no one pushed us to leave; they let us really enjoy our night. Another bonus was they had a beautiful balcony overlooking the boardwalk and ocean.

May have been the best meal I’ve ever ate! Food was amazing!

Katy our server was great! I will ask for her again.

Katy, our waitress was outstanding and very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list.

Birthday 🎂

I have visited Olon several times and I am never disappointed. The staff are very friendly and the food is always delicious and cooked just right.

Wonderful evening at Olón! Exemplary service - thank you, Katy! Food was fantastic and plentiful - we had the chef’s tasting, which I highly recommend if want variety and are interested in trying new things. Seafood was very fresh! The ambiance was intimate and the space was an overall lovely setting for a romantic dinner.

One of the best meals I’ve had in Atlantic City. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant, yesterday was my first time there, had a small issue but it was resolved quickly by the staff, will give a second chance

I've always had my favorites and I was sad to see changes to the menu as well as some of the items. The Yucca fries changed and the sliced skirt steak removed from menu. Very disappointed.

Katy is always awesome - we love to chat with her and she has amazing memory! Food was great. Please bring back the hamachi dish!

Date night dinner before a concert

The steamed clams were incredible! I cpuld have drank the garlic butter broth they came with. The scallops were grilled perfectly and the cheesy mashed potatoes were exceptional. This is a must every time I go to A.C.

Overall the food and service were amazing, will definitely be back.

Freshest Seafood I've ever had. Flavors are amazing!!!!! Rosita our server was phenomenal and she made great suggestions about the food. We tried a variety of different small dishes and ordered one entree and split it between three and it was just enough. Can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu.

While the food we received was good we did not receive what we ordered and we had to ask for part of the order that was omitted. Servers were polite.

Impeccable service, quiet serene atmosphere, unusual selection of foods including Peruvian specialties, definitely worth it, will return again

The waiter was welcoming, friendly and attentive. The hostess who escorted us to our table was not too pleasing. We asked her for a table we really liked that had a nice view of the sunset and she said that the table was for four but she sat us at a table for four as well. The table we wanted remained empty for quite some time and a couple who came right after us she sat them at a better table. I thought that was unfair, we did have a reservation. I advise that you train your hostess to be welcoming and friendly, that is very important. But overall the food, environment and waiter were excellent.

We celebrated Thanksgiving here for our second year. Service was top notch and food was amazing.
