The food was delicious and experience was mind-blowing. I loved the small plates concept and got to try so many different dishes. Every bite was extremely flavorful and delicious. Za'atar bread was to die for. Staff was EXTREMELY polite!They were also very conscious of allergens and accommodated and offered allergan-free options.Place is a bit small and crowded but nothing too inconvenient.

Wonderful hospitality! Just want to give Leslie a shout out for being so kind in recommending food over the phone! She was so patient and gave me such great advice. Her kindness and expertise are so appreciated. I'll report back about the food after we eat.

I haven’t even eaten there yet, but the service I received over the phone today was top notch. I simply called to check the value of a gift card, and the gentleman who answered the phone could not have been more kind and helpful. Can’t wait to have dinner! Thank you for such amazing hospitality, Oleana!

Most dishes we had were great, the service was on point. Pro tip: One dessert should be good enough for two people. Being a vegetarian the amount of choices is impressive. The mushroom dish was outstanding out of all.

All the food was fabulous, timing was amateur: we were there for a special birthday, with a group and a fixed menu. The food started coming out very fast and the wine was very slow(we did not order cocktails). We were three courses in before I got up, found the waiter and told him not to bring any more food until the wine arrived. That kind of timing is disappointing for a place like this, and for a group that they knew was having a special event.Also extremely noisy, for those who care about that.

Extremely accommodating of allergies and complex orders! We ordered a combination of gluten free, celiac, dairy free dishes and they were very clear about allergens (during ordering, as the food came, after food arrived and we got confused, etc). Overall one of the highest confidences I’ve ever had in a gluten free experience.

Have been wanting to come here for so long now and finally got the chance - exceeded expectations! Atmosphere is great, super cozy and would love to try the outdoor seating in the nicer weather. We sat at the bar and the staff were all incredibly nice and welcoming. Ordered a bunch of plates to share and they were all so flavorful and unique and delicious. My favorite was the carrots. They have a great wine selection as well. Can’t wait to come back and make this a regular go to spot!

Great ambiance, attentive service, disappointing food. I travel to the Mediterranean every year and love the food - so I guess I had high expectations of Oleana because of their reputation and the difficulty of obtaining a reservation.I understand it’s fusion, but it felt as though they’re trying to do a double backflip somersault without mastering the basics.We got a few mezes, entrees, and wine. Felt similar about all food. We got good wine recommendations from our server.As mentioned above, ambiance is great. Would be good for a date.As for the service - always attentive. Our initial server was a very nice young woman who provided the helpful wine recommendation and we liked very much. Part way through our meal she was pushed/ replaced by a nervous woman who had trouble checking on us in a subtle and pleasant way.I may come again if invited by friends, but I wouldn’t go out of my way.

Fantastic experience, I loved the food and everything else. A bit pricey, but with this quality it's to be
