Olea

Great food and a comfy atmosphere. Stopped by during the afternoon at happy hour and was presented with unique dishes that had great flavor. It gets a bit busy, but the service remains excellent. Their ingredients were fresh and local. Cocktails were well crafted. The raspberry sorbet ice cream was creamy and sweet!

A favorite spot for many and for good reason. The food is thoughtfully prepared and served. New takes on traditional ingredients. I especially appreciate the falafel encrusted artichoke appetizer. We ordered the Greek paella, perfectly portioned and prepared for two. The atmosphere is eclectic and relaxed, church pew seating, well rubbed bronze accents, Mediterranean tiling with weathered wood all combine for a delightful dinner. I’m never disappointed when I visit, and the staff are all wonderful.

Wow it’s been 2 weeks and I’m still thinking about this meal. We started with the halloumi which was our fav! The Brussels sprouts were delicious too. I had the braised chicken which was so tender and moist. I also loved the mashed potatoes that came with the chicken. The staff were amazing and service was speedy, friendly and I’ll definitely be back soon. We ate right before attending a concert at Irondale and it was a perfect start to our night!

I went here to have dinner with my aunt. We both loved Olea. We came at the tail end of happy house and grabbed the house red. It was a good red unlike your typical house selection. I had the pumpkin soup with candied chickpeas and it was absolutely fantastic. Perfect meal for a cold winter day. My aunt had the filet of sole which she also loved. We also had sole “fish sticks” to kick off the meal which we peculiar but also very good. I would absolutely come pack. Great place for a date, a small birthday dinner, or just a night out with the Judys.

I had lamb hash for brunch which was great. We also tried the bacon wrapped dates and we liked it.
A bit pricey overall but it was worth it.

What an amazing experience from the moment you walk in the service is personal . Our waiter was such a good means of giving suggestions. The dips were incredible we tried the humus, red pepper and you can’t go to a Mediterranean restaurant without some tzatziki all the breads were fresh and tasty. We also ordered the fried Brussel sprouts, dates wrapped in bacon, mussels and for me my absolute favorite was the split pea soup, different never had it quite like this but it was delicious even with a beets. I also ordered the Bronzino which was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right As for my son he loved the brisket with mash. Espresso martini was a perfect dessert pairs with the sesame ice cream. And even though we were the last ones to sit on Christmas Eve they really treated us with so much poise, warm, it really felt as if we had gone to eat at a family members house. I will be back!

Lovely neighbourhood spot, with delicious Mediterranean small plates. Worth every bite!

On a rainy summer evening, we were accommodated nicely underneath the overhead roof over the front parklet seating along the sidewalk.

We had the seasonal tomato gazpacho special, which was a wonderful treat on a hot summer day, the halloumi cheese, which was fried, and the seafood gazpacho with rice cooked in squid ink. The server was gracious with us sharing a few plates, and I would definitely return. The white sangria was refreshing.

The interior atmosphere / vibe looked intriguing, and I would suggest a reservation here if you’re planning on going.

I have had two absolutely lovely dinners at Olea! The food and atmosphere blew me away both times. The restaurant is located on a peaceful, tree-lined street, and their outdoor seating is perfect for a meal on a warm day. Their food is unique and excellent. I loved the falafel-crusted artichokes, stuffed dates, red pepper and feta dip, and mussels. I was impressed by the number of great vegetarian options. On top of all this, everyone who worked there was really friendly! What a great neighborhood spot. I'll definitely be back.

I literally never leave reviews even for places I really enjoy, but this place is fantastic. I went with a group of people and everything we ordered was delicious! I highly recommend the savory parmesan french toast or lamb hash, and the dips were so good I had to get romesco to-go. This might be one of the best kept secrets in Brooklyn. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Large veggie options. The dips were the best! Romesco, a must try.

Lovely, cozy spot with delicious food. Only walk ins are allowed and cannot make advance reservations

In short, a delight. Incredibly popular and busy spot, and for good reason, so definitely make a reservation. Though I had to wait for a table with some friends, the manager was kind enough to set us up at a table outside under heaters and offered us water until a table opened up inside. Once seated, we were in a cozy space, packed but not uncomfortably so. Every dish was delicious and we got to top it all off with a basque cheesecake.

This place has such a cute aesthetic to it and all the food and drinks were SO good. Everything we ordered was 10/10. Get the sangria and brussel sprouts for sure!! Staff is extremely friendly as well. I’d definitely go back!

This was a restaurant that I came many many years ago with my date then, and I’ve been scratching my memories to find this place again. And finally found it.

Food itself is quite simple and I would rate it 4 stars probably. I enjoyed my foods (except garlic bread) but wouldn’t say they were so memorable or very outstanding. Romesco dip was the favorite for what I had so far.

One extra star is really due to the ambience of it. I love the interior here and def would like to come more often even myself if it were more closely located. Their outdoor seating seemed very charming too although I didn’t have a chance to try it myself yet.

음식자체는 전체적으로 무난무난한 편인데 개인적으로는 여기 레스토랑 분위기나 인테리어가 너무 마음에 들어요

I had the chicken shawarma sliders and broccoli. Both were delicious. And the chocolate cake dessert is recommended.

The food was incredible here, and the atmosphere was amazing. I was blown away with every dish. Definitely worth a visit.

Really good food in a cozy atmosphere. I got their chicken platter which came with a variety of foods and the chicken breast wasn't tough. My friend got the green eggs and lamb dish.

One of the best brunches I’ve had in recent memory, which means I’ve now been to Olea for every meal around the clock. This place is amazing and anything you get will be delicious. We got the Olea Breakfast and the brioche French toast…everything was to die for. Also loved the white sangria with mango, perfect for a hot spring day. Will be back many times.

One of the best Mediterranean places I have had. Food quality is top tier, service is amazing and welcoming, and the atmosphere is very warm.
