Superb meal in every way, ambiance, service and most of all cuisine. Perfect place to celebrate any milestone occasion or a night on the town.

What an amazing place. Celebrated my friend’s birthday. I was there 5 years ago. Will definitely be back for my birthday in January. I drive almost 2 and a half hours to eat there. Worth the drive. The staff and the Head Chef are the best . Thank you so much for this amazing experience.

Food was very mediocre and the servers weren’t able to make recommendations. I had great expectations for this restaurant since it’s rated one of the top in the state , and that just isn’t the case. It’s not bad, it’s just not very good either. We spent $300 on apps and wine for two people, so it wasn’t particularly affordable either . We won’t be back.

It was our first time visiting Olea and they did not disappoint! Everything was amazing.

We had a great birthday meal for my mom. The food was all excellent and the David, our server was great. We had a 6:30 reservation and were sat in a back are, with another large party. The ambience was not great, but the food made up for it. I would also suggest additional vegetarian options. That was the one down side. My daughters choices were limited.

Fantastic food and thoughtful service! We loved it.

We had the tasting menu for my birthday celebration and it was awesome. Creative menu and executed extremely well. The only course that we weren’t blown away by was the short rib ravioli. It was still very good, just not as outstanding as the others. Kudos to the excellent servers throughout! Thank you!!

We did the tasting dinner and loved everything we got to try.

Always my favorite in New Haven. There are always specials. Last night I had the most delicious shrimp with garlic, chilis, pea purée, cilantro!! It was fabulous. We had tuna tartare, white anchovies, duck, salmon and Cornish hen. All was absolutely perfect. Great refreshing sangria. Excellent service. We try to come at least once a month. Really fabulous.

The best chef in CT!! Spanish food at the highest level. Been going there for years. Our favorite restaurant in Ct..
