We had high hopes coming to Olea, but alas we were disappointed.
Location/Ambiance: Westcliff Plaza and small with a large bar at the front, the layout leaves little space for tables. We sat in a snug booth alongside the windows with a view of Susie Cakes next door. The decor is warm and modern.
Food: Subpar! Burnt bread but delicious whipped butter. Butter lettuce and Goat cheese salad was bland with a basic dressing. Mac and cheese skillet was good but nothing...read full review
The servers are friendly and chill in a way that made our dinner relaxed and enjoyable. The drinks were a little sweet but tasty. The food was okay, under sauced and under seasoned but fresh quality ingredients.
Food was excellent, reasonably priced and the food was only outdone by the fantastic service.
