    Phenomenal food in a Napa style environment complete with well balanced cocktails. The bread and short rib pasta are a must. Great balance of cocktails across gin, bourbon, vodka and even rum! Can’t go wrong here

    We continue to love our dining experiences at Olea. Sten checked in as usual - which we really appreciate . We had a sever we hadn't had before - Ronald - and he provided excellent service. Food was served hot and delicious - tried the Chicken Schnitzel again - even more delicious than I remembered.

    We really enjoy Olea and tonight was no exception. Always welcoming greeting when you walk in the door, very comfortable decor and ambiance. Wait staff always very friendly and knowledgeable about food, wine and drinks. The menu offers a nice variety of food choices and portions are a generous size. I alway enjoy my time here.

    As usual everything about Olea for our dinner last night was phenomenal. The service staff is very attentive, but not overly so. They’re friendly and appropriately conversational. Olea is a win-win for us every time we’re there!

    Loved trying this place. Everything was excellent. We started with a couple fun cocktails then jumped right into the Halibut and Surf and Turf. Both dishes were outstanding. The filet was huge and it melted in my mouth. We ended with the apple desert which was also amazing.
