Originally from STL but haven't lived there for two decades. When I am there, approximately once a year, Olio is the number one place I need to go. Everything they turn out is amazingly well thought out with creativity and passion second to none. I consistently dream about their egg salad... the decor and vibe is perfect, service is always top notch... there is absolutely nothing I would change about this place.

Overpriced frozen food. Would not recommend! Table was greasy (never got cleaned ), food was stale and bland. So unfortunate because I love Mediterranean food, truly a disservice and a shame. Not worth it.

Food was great! But sadly service was not – the restaurant was not busy but the attitude of the staff made us feel like we were a constant inconvenience just by being there. Part of our order was not put in, and after 45 minutes of waiting (after I had already finished my food), we asked our server if my partner's entree was still coming. He ensured us that it was, but then a few minutes later told us that it hadn't been put in. At that point we were ready to leave, so we told them it was okay and we would go without that entree – I understand that mistakes happen and we were chill with it, but expected some sort of gesture to make the error right. Instead, we just got a shrug and an "okay." Loved the few dishes I got but probably would not return due to the strange vibes here.

Good vibes, great drinks, nice shareable plates. Seating can be a little cramped but overall would recommend.

Hipster vibe and good service, but ended up getting food poisoning from their (In)Famous Egg Salad. I hadn't eaten anything else that day, so it seems like Olio's food truly was the genuine culprit behind several hours of vomiting that started within 2 hours or so of dinner there. Not an experience I would ever like to re-visit. Given the positive reviews this restaurant has, I'm sure my misfortune was out of the norm, but I can't really recommend this place as a result.

Not many places to get Israeli food. Hummus was good, lamb shank looked amazing, spinach dish was a bit under cooked. Cauliflower dish was SPICY! Tastes good though. Babganoush was GOOD. Pita was solid. We were sitting next to a window/door and were freezing. If you like Israeli/middle eastern food then you should really try this.
Atmosphere is cool. Very small. You will most likely be sitting outside, which is cool. Food was good but overpriced. Drinks were not worth the price. There are cheaper Mediterranean options that are better.

Top notch Mediterranean food! The chicken kefta and hummus were phenomenal.Only issue was the seating. We didn’t like dropping more than 100 dollars to be sat at a barbecue-style folding chair/table two feet from other couples, particularly given that we had a reservation.

Stopped by on the way home from the Botanical Garden... Kings hummus, egg salad, Burrata...all Amazing!! I'm not sure what kind of vodoo is included in the egg salad but it is WAY better than Aunt Bee's!!! We went back the next day for take out...drove 45 minutes for egg salad...who does that?? Awesome place...go!

Absolutely love Olio - always an amazing vibe and sad that it is moving locations because of the coziness ambiance this space provides. We always get a hummus, and an app - I love how much the menu changes with the seasons. Also got their salad which was very bright and fresh. The one thing that I wish they would change is they used to give more than one pita with a hummus and now they charge for extra pita but don't give you nearly enough to enjoy with the hummus. Small thing but worth mentioning.

Small ish restaurant. Good vibes & yummy food. When I went during the winter months, they had setup outdoor (heated) seating options. My only gripe would be that the portions are kinda small for the price.

My first time at Olio and it was incredible. I've driven past several times and seen the building nestled into the corner lot, but tonight was my first time. The patio looks amazing but with the cooler temps, we sat inside. Intimate and warm interior space. The chairs are a little uncomfortable, but it had also been an incredibly long work day. Our server was sweet and attentive. Between a few of us, we shared hummus with pita (omfg), the egg salad, grape leaves with what I assume is homemade tzatziki (!!!), and the Jerusalem bagel. Anything with za'atar is a home run for me. Nothing too heavy, but we were all full and happy when we left. Great beer & wine list too. I had a crisp rosé x2 and it was the perfect drink to compliment the meal. Can't wait to return.

Olio has a somewhat limited menu but very interesting choices. We had the Deluxe Hummus with lamb & grape leaves/both very good.

Good food, fast service. Fries are so good! I really enjoyed the ambiance and board games that are provided to patrons
