Olea

Ooooh, just moved to the neighborhood and went here for the first time. $5 happy hour sangria (that is strong) and $ happy hour tapas . The goat cheese croquettes were amazing. Will definitely be back!

Best tapas I’ve had in New York and the ambiance is amazing. Get there early or you’ll struggle getting a table. Wait on weekends can be up to 1hr or more sometimes.

I'm not a vegan , but vegan food can taste delicious. THIS PAELLA WAS VEGAN AND DELICIOUS. Setting is gentle and has similar emotion to southern Spain. My new favorite neighborhood spot 💥😀

Best happy hour on the planet. Red sangria , romesco, fried chickpeas , falafel-crusted artichokes , and Spanish pitza are required.

Definitely a place to check out when you are around. Food menu changes often which i like. The tuna sandwich during the week is amazing but it does not matter what you get. It is always good.

One of my favorite brunches in Brooklyn. If you want to eat early, make sure to get there before they open or you won't get a table for an hour. Lamb hash is amazing (and huge).

Go for lunch on a weekday and order the split pea soup or the salmon sandwich special. The menu has a lot of options and they’re all great! Ps:on weekends you’ll wait in line forever!

Great place for tapas ! In love with the almond stuffed bacon wrapped dates ! Lamb meatballs and trio are great! Come prepared as there is always waiting time and service is slow

Incredible. Great service, amazing care with the details. We had 7 different dishes between 8 of us and all were amazing. The Savory Parmesan Toast (Olea's twist on Eggs Benedict) is a favorite.

Amazing atmosphere and amazing food. Truly a gem, would go back multiple times. The artichoke dish was amazing, as was the beef meatballs , however everything was delicious and service was great.

The farro veggie pasta was a dream. The restaurant is beautiful and cozy . Great for date night

The shrimp with french sauce, bacon wrapped almonds , haloumi all great. Everything is very extravagant and rich flavors. Nice with a bottle of wine . Go slow..order one or two dishes at a time.

Absolutely loved the bacon wrapped dates and patatas bravas . Tried two other dishes off their specials that weren't very good. Overall worth a visit. They have a lot of options on the menu

Wow. This place impressed the hell outta me. Halloumi was delicious, oysters were perfect, and the paella was very nicely portioned for 2 people. Would definitely come back here.

Amazing sandwiches , they are served with patatas bravas , which sets the sandwich apart from other sandwich places . Get a seat outside on a sunny day to enjoy the neighborhood

Love it here. Neighborhoody. Pretty corner. Super fresh and satisfying Med flavors.

artichokes+falafel= wow but artichokes + falafel on an eggplant bed= beyond words. Amazing texture, freshness and flavor. WOW!

Always get paella . The cocktails are deliciously boozy , the Tuscan kale salad and bacon wrapped dates are amazing. Laurie the host was great and accommodating. She made waiting very pleasant.

Get the fried olives ! So delicious. Also, the dips with endives and pita . Reasonable prices, and such a beautiful space too — can't wait to come back during the day.

Tasty tapas in Brooklyn. Good atmosphere. Nice to see the manager digging in to help keep the place pleasant for both customers and staff .

Everything is excellent, even the coffee . Brunch = GreenEggs&Lamb and LambHash. Lamb haters, this place makes GREAT lamb dishes . Entrees = The Tapas menu is great, and I'm not a tapas fan ordinarily.

The chicken paella (with chorizo ) was delicious. We also liked the kale salad . Excited to come back with friends so we can try more dishes.

It was packed on a Tuesday night, but was able to sit at the bar and have a great meal. The braised chicken with artichoke hearts was amazing.

I absolutely loved this salmon sandwich ❣️❣️❣️

The Paella de Mariscos in the dinner menu was very tasty and worth waiting for! Yummy and light indeed

Love everything about this little gem. Sit outside when weather is great. Having a glass of white sangria . Heaven!

Went here on a date for dinner . Was a little disappointed in their vegetarian options . However I ordered the farro pasta and was in love.

Split some tapas ! Favorites were the pitza, the mushrooms , and the lamb meatballs ! Will skip the shrimp next time.

Go during the week for happy hour ! Everything is super good!

Taste - Green eggs and lamb , a dish of eggs scrambled with cilantro , onion and tomato , merguez sausage , and toasted pita . Juicy with rich lamb flavor, the sausage had notes of sweetness and spiciness . Read more

"The Turkish Breakfast . It’s a mix of scrambled eggs , cilantro , tomato & red onion , fattoush , eggplant salad , herbed yogurt , and grilled pita bread . Basically, you're gonna be full."

Fantastic restaurant for small bites or a full dinner -- the cocktails are amazing, food options are worldly, fresh, and delicious!

Order their green eggs and lamb - amazing! I tried their Bloody Mary because everyone was raving about it, and I have to say, as someone who doesn't like tomato , it was really good!

It's small, but if you go at an off-peak hour with your friends, the more tapas you'll be able to order. Can't go wrong with anything there!

The Turkish Breakfast . It’s a mix of scrambled eggs , cilantro , tomato & red onion , fattoush , eggplant salad , herbed yogurt , and grilled pita bread . Basically, you're gonna be full.

Please order the spiced olives and manchengo cheese !! And I recommend the kale salad , and lamb kefedes! You won't regret it! My favorite restaurant in the world!

The meat paella is one of then top 5 things I've eaten in my whole life. Can't to to go back!

Wednesday, 5-7 = happy hour w the most amazing wine & tapas specials (go for the dates- you wont be disappointed). After 9, the live music starts.. Order a bottle and enjoy the vibe. AWESOME service!

Try the vegan paella -- what healthy and delicious taste like ;)

Amazing! The hummus is great...they also have lots of $3-5 tapas , all delish. The orchiette pasta is a must try. Very cute , rustic feel .

All is right in the world when coming to Olea. Things that are in point: Brussel Sprouts , orecchiette pasta , Paella , etc....

Such a pleasant bathroom . Fresh flowers, very spacious between you, the door, and the sink. You could spend the afternoon here reading and reflecting on your meal.

Great sangria served by an attentive staff . I really enjoyed the lamb keftedes, halloumi cheese , and fried chickpeas . The paella was just ok.

Wow, the bacon wrapped dates , sheeps milk feta & red pepper dip , fried oyster sliders , and the goat cheese croquettes ... Wow

This place was a tapas haven. Amazing food and delicious sangria . The only thing that was just OK was the falafel crusted artichoke .

I've been here several times and I'm never disappointed! Great tapas , sangria , and paella . Will definitely be back soon!

Lovely little brunch spot ! Green Eggs and Lamb is fantastic!

Poutine for breakfast was bomb! Everyone else had braised lamb shoulder skillet which was also very delicious and very meaty!

skirt steak , fried halumi, falafel crusted artichoke hearts , lamb meatballs with feta purée. I sound like foochebag but these are all solid choices.

This place really is incredible. Get the paella . All of them look amazing, the seafood one we had was fantastic. To start get the octopus , haloumi special and Greek potatoes (patatas braces with feta )
