Reviews for Olea in Brooklyn, NY
Great service, even on a weekend with a snow storm. (Posting this very very late) Customer service could’ve been a little... *~livelier~* but everyone has those days I guess. The food outweighed the mediocre service. Great breads and sauces fordipping, and a wide selection of specials too. Atlantic Char was good as were the seafood empanadillas. I would skip theshishito peppers and braised beef/brisket sandwich, just not that flavorful or amazing when compared to other items on themenu. ***Sauteed cremini mushrooms were SO GOOD. I would substitute an entree for two orders of that, so good! Read more
The paella was not exactly authentic, and the mussels were not the freshest. The beef brisket was very soft and tender, although... the broccoli that accompanied it was not the most flavorful. The orecchiette was a little tougher than al dente. The calamariwas a huge hit among my friends, though. The waitress, while pleasant and well-mannered, also served us our dishes beforetaking them away as she had served it to the wrong table apparently. She also dropped a dirty fork on us which stained my denimjeans. Read more
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 (exceptgarlic bread) but wouldn’t say they were so memorable or very outstanding. Romesco dip was the favorite for what I had sofar. One extra star is really due to the ambience of it. I love the interior here and def would like to come more often evenmyself if it were more closely located. Their outdoor seating seemed very charming too although I didn’t have a chance to tryit myself yet. ????? ????? ????? ??? ?????? ?? ???? ???? ????? ?? ??? ??? Read more
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 wasto die for. Also loved the white sangria with mango, perfect for a hot spring day. Will be back many times. Read more
I love Olea, I have been there a few times and it never disappoints. They have great food, great service and also great coffee!... Plus dining inside is super cozy with all the plants and decorations. (now look at that picture of the combo of spreads, theynot only look amazing, the taste is even better!) Read more
Ned, our server, was very attentive. We enjoyed our most delicious braised chicken dish and refreshing Spanish beer. All the... staff were pleasant and helpful. Thanks Olea! Read more
It was a good thing that I was able to be here at Fort Green, Brooklyn to catch the day's specials on this gorgeous Friday... morning. The Mussels with Toasted Baguette had a briny, flavorful taste that made me want to keep eating. It was a good thing Iordered a side of Lamb Merguez sausages because it added to the satisfaction of the main entree. The Desert special was alsoequally satisfying. The Basque Burnt Cheesecake with Raspberry compote was good. The acid of the compote went well with thecreamy cheesecake which wasn't sweet and had a neutral flavor. The restroom uses a sliding door and clean but only one personat a time can use it. Overall it was great time. Read more
I already came in with high expectations since several people had recommended I try Olea, but those expectations were exceeded!... We got lucky and happened to be there on a beautiful day so we sat outside — the location is at a gorgeous and peaceful streetcorner. It almost feels like you’re on vacation outside the big city. Food was absolutely delicious. We got 3 smallertapas-style dishes and one main: Bacon-wrapped dates, corn salad, the tuna-stuffed peppers and this spicy shakshuka (it wascalled something else on the menu). Everything was so fresh and well-seasoned and creative and …fun to eat! Staff were reallyfriendly and attentive. All around A+ experience. Read more
