"Another cute and cozy spot in fort Greene. Friendly service, solid flavors and reasonable pricing. The dips and spreads were standouts but everything was good just not amazing but sometimes that’s ok. Verdict: will return and recommend!"

"The mushroom appetizer was surprisingly delicious and really enjoyed the dimly lit atmosphere. We ordered the short rib and lamb pasta, both didn’t disappoint"

"Lunch here was great! With spring weather approaching and here, the outdoor seating was perfect. The food was delicious and I’d recommend to try a handful of tapas for sure. The falafel crusted artichoke was delicious. It’s exactly what you’d expect. The halloumi was great and was accompanied with a nice harissa sauce and chili pepper. Not that spicy. Patatas bravas is basically glorified French fries but that’s fine by me. The almond stuffed dates were good, could probably pass on these. The arctic char sandwich was herby, savory, and had a little kick of spice. If you’re in the mood for a delicious fish sandwich, I’d 100% go for it. My GF got the chicken platter and ngl it looked ok. Kinda like large slop platter for a similar price."

"Had dinner here with a big group and loved everything we tried! The dip trio is the move - the pita is so fluffy and fresh. We also tried the mushroom appetizer, branzino, orichette and warm farro salad. All were winners. The staff was accommodating to specific allergy-related requests in our group too. I’d definitely come back!"

"We came to Olea to celebrate my cousin’s birthday for brunch and absolutely loved it. From the moment we walked in, the space felt warm, cozy, and artsy—such a welcoming neighborhood vibe that immediately makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The brunch was incredible. Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor, and you can really tell how much care goes into the food. Everything we tried was delicious, and the menu felt elevated while still being comforting and approachable. It was the perfect spot for a birthday celebration—relaxed, intimate, and special without feeling stuffy. Olea is one of those places that feels like a true gem. The atmosphere, the food, and the overall experience were all fantastic. I already can’t wait to come back—especially to try dinner next time. Highly recommend for brunch, celebrations, or just a great meal in a lovely setting."
