A Culinary Gem with a Side of Canine Love! From the moment we stepped into Olea, the ambience radiated warmth, complemented perfectly by their dog-friendly outdoor seating. Dining at Olea felt like a gastronomic journey, each dish a testament to the expertise and passion poured into the menu. The highlights? Oh, where to begin! The specials were an absolute delight, but it was the lamb hash, the Olea Breakfast, and that unforgettable egg dish swimming in a rich red sauce that truly stole our hearts (and appetites). Oh! And do not miss out on the croquettes!! And just when we thought our taste buds had peaked, the gluten-free vegan chocolate cake made an appearance. Admittedly, it leaned towards the drier side, but the accompanying caramel sauce was so divine, we were tempted to ask for a glass of it! Our server was the epitome of professionalism and warmth, ensuring our dining experience was smooth from start to finish. The only minor hiccup was the bathroom situation - its proximity to the kitchen meant navigating the space required some finesse, a fact I learned after a mild scolding from a busy server. But, let's be honest, a small price to pay for the overall exceptional experience. Olea, with its delightful dishes and charming setting, is a must-visit in Fort Greene. We're already plotting our next visit. See you soon, Olea! πŸ½οΈπŸ’–πŸΆ

Every time I come here I am absolutely delighted--the food is always yummy, and the service is above and beyond. I joke with my friends that this is the platonic ideal of a restaurant. Always a joy, and very accommodating for celiac.
