    Excellent dinner

    I went here for dinner last week and thought it was great. The service was friendly and good. Food was super tasty and came out in a nice stream, not all at once, which is great for tapas. I definitely recommend the falafel crusted artichoke hearts, grilled haloumi cheese, and arugula salad.

    What a shame!

    This place is a shame. Went for the first time during the dine in Brooklyn; I was very disappointed by the poor quality of the meals and the tiny quantities. But I decided to give it another try and this time to go for a regular menu meal. I finally went for the take out because I couldn't get a table. So I sat at the bar, ordered (3 small tapas for $18...) and waited and waited and waited. No a smile, not a glass of water, nothing. Finally after 30 minutes of waiting someone tossed my order on the bar and I figured is was time for me to leave. I'll admit that I really liked the prunes with the almonds and the bacon. Still, the two other tapas were nothing special, the price rather expensive for the neighborhood, and the staff arrogant. Nest time I'll pass.

    Best Choice in FG

    The place is beautiful and the food is good, brunch is better than dinner.--They can get a little experimental with the pre-fix. Yes the waits can be very long, but they more than make up for it. I once waited 45 minutes for food, and at the end I was surprised when the waiter apologized and comp'd our meal entirely.

    Shhhh... Don't Tell Anyone Olea is TERRIFIC!

    Wow... what a find. Brunch was nothing short of delicious - turkish breakfast, lamb sandwich & other viddles - this was some REALLY GREAT food! Super cute ambience and friendly staff. And did I mention the food is delicious? Seriously, run to this place. I'm eager to go back again. Completely worth the trip from Manhattan!

    Fantastic Discovery

    I took my friend to Olea's today for a farewell lunch, since she's moving to New Mexico tomorrow. Naturally I wanted it to be a special meal. We were not disappointed. We indulged in assorted tapas, tzatziki with warm pitas, and endive and arugula salad. Everything was very fresh and rich with flavor. The almond stuffed bacon wrapped dates were out of this world. For dessert we shared an apricot infused bread pudding with apricot sorbet. It was outrageously good. We loved the warm ambience and exotic homey decor. Loved the flamenco music and spanish guitar playing in the background. I will most definitely be back!
