★★★★★ 5.0 Adati Tarfa · Feb 2026

The atmosphere was excellent! Daniel our staff and everyone there were precise and great. The food is well presented. The flavors are mild but enjoyable. The desserts were amazing!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Vonetta Romeo-Rivers · Oct 2025

Very attentive service and hospitality (thNk you, Dan 🙏🏾), we sat at the bar for an early dinner after seeing a matinee play at the Yale Repertoire Theater (Spunk was excellent). We truly enjoyed our evening here and would recommend to friends. Pics of our sophisticated meals included. ☺️

★★★★★ 5.0 Ulyana · Nov 2025

Olea exceeded all the expectations I had. We came to celebrate my graduation and enjoyed our time here. The food was great, flavorful, service good! I have no complaints.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Afrooz Mosallaei · Nov 2025

I haven't been here before, so I can't speak for the menu in general but the restaurant week menu (the fall salad, polenta, and the apricot cheesecake) was quite bland and unimpressive. I kept looking for a bit of dressing or a flavor to stick, and I failed. The presentation was aesthetically pleasant though.

★★★★☆ 4.0 C. Mun · Feb 2025

Solid place for an evening out or to have something tasty that’s a bit more refined in New Haven. I’ve been before for their tasting menu and a la carte menu and enjoy their dishes. We tried the tasting menu since I haven’t had this one. Generally very good. I have minor complaints but overall I recommend it. $270 for two with tip not including alcohol.
