Double R Ranch Bone-In Ribeye Steak
I tend to judge a place by its sides. Most restaurants can make a great cut of meat and so the sides show me how well a menu is considered and prepared. This was unbelievable. The sides were extraordinary and the ribeye was the best I've ever tasted: perfect cook, tender, great sear and so flavorful.
Wild Alaskan King Crab Legs
Amazing food, service and ambiance! Living in Newport Beach and having Olea as our neighborhood go to dinner spot is such a blessing! Going to Olea is easily a weekly event for our family and for date nights. The creative and ever evolving menu is constantly surprising us. Very highly recommended by everyone I know.
Pinkies Out
This is the best cocktail ever!!!
Crispy Jidori Chicken Schnitzel With Maitake Mushrooms
One of my all time favorite meals to order out! Haven't had a bite of food I haven't enjoyed here. P.S. Kevin F. Is the man, best hospitality there is.
Bourbon Braised Kurobuta Pork Short Rib
This dish literally blew my socks off. One of the most delicious meals I have EVER had. Server was delightful and the outdoor seating was beautiful. Cocktails were also fabulous. Highly recommend Olea!
House Made Sugar Pumpkin Agnolotti
Had dinner w friends and the food was delicious, particularly the agnolotti and the beef/mushroom pasta. Sarah was a wonderful server!
Organic Butter Lettuce & Herbed Goat Cheese
This salad is so crisp, fresh and full of flavor. It's the perfect starter before an entree. Won't leave you feeling overly full for the rest of the meal, just delicious.
Sustainably Harvested Chilean Sea Bass
I've been here a couple times now with friends and my boyfriend. First time I came here the appetizers were amazing!! I ordered something new which I didn't like but I loved the place anyway. My boyfriend and i came back and I got the Chilean sea bass which I asked the waitress about (sadly I forgot her name; it was a few weeks ago) and i told her I'd never had it and she insisted I get it. I'm glad I did it was so rich and so good!! Good portions too!! Their drinks are a lot of fun too, super good.
Bourbon Braised Kurobuta Pork Short Rib
My wife and I took a vacation from the Arizona heat and had a wonderful meal at Olea restaurant. What a superb time: great staff, excellent food, pleasent/relaxing atmosphere, and an all encompassing wonderful time. Will be a great memory and we really want to come back soon (it is already on our list for next CA visit).
Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Kurobuta Pork Belly
Delicious side dish, the texture of the brussel sprouts and the pork belly are unique. I really like that dish and the creme brulee!!👍🏻
Crispy Jidori Chicken Schnitzel With Maitake Mushrooms
So good! The chicken was juicy and crispy on the outside, and the spaetzle was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. All went really well the vegetables. Also, going to put a plug in for the soft shell crab dish (chef's daily seafood dish which I don't see in the drop down). SIMPLY. AMAZING. The grits it came with seemed like an unusual pairing but it worked so well together. Would definitely order again.
Double R Ranch Bone-In Ribeye Steak
This dinner was incredible! We started with a round of oysters and cocktails, then moved right into this massive side of meat. I am sure that this could have been shared, but I am glad that I didn't have to split this as every bite seemed to get better than the first. I did veer from the blue cheese potatoes and I believe that the substitute was garlic mashed, which paired just as well. The other side hidden underneath were sopping up the peppercorn-cognac reduction while I carved away at this masterpiece. I usually like my ribeye fairly plain (salt & pepper) to let the dish speak for itself, however the chef had hit this one right on target with all ingredients. I washed it down with a craft beer and the finale was a simple "Anniversary" ice cream dish that topped off one of the best date night in a while. We will defiantly be back with some friends to share this gem of a restaurant!
"Matterhorn" Craft Cocktail
Dad's Root Beer is an great drink and wonderful to sip after a great meal. We recently had the pork chop, fantastic.
Jorge Lucas
Overall, a tasty and well balanced cocktail. The quality of the ingredients is apparent and is present in every sip. It does contain serrano, but could still be a bit more spicy.
Pacific Northwest Filet Mignon
This is one of my favorite restaurants ! We have dined in several times for special occasion or just because. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the service is great and the food is amazing. I've tried many different dishes and have never been disappointed . They also have really amazing cocktails with a special touch of creativity .thus is a must try restaurant if you like high quality food .
Crispy Jidori Chicken Schnitzel With Maitake Mushrooms
I will drive anywhere for good Schnitzel, and it's so rare to find a restaurant that has it. Well, I scored big time!! Olea has the best schnitzel, and their duck wings as a starter were exceptional. I could have been in the dining room @ the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, where my parents took me growing up, because their chef here was definitely trained @ the best cooking school here! Love this place, can't wait to return.
Artisan Cheese & Cured Meats Board
Great value and generous portion. Thoughtfully paired with the right combination of salt, savory and creativity!
Artisan Cheese & Cured Meats Board
My absolute favorite charcuterie board in SoCal! Charcuterie is my favorite & I've tried many, I highly recommend. I miss it so much, ordering take out tonight.
American Wagyu Wine County Burger
You've got to try this burger! It is so good, my husband and I have each ordered one every Friday night for a month! Always cooked perfectly. Holds up deliciously well as take-out, even lettuce wrapped. Fries are HEAVENLY!
Sea Salt Roasted Heirloom Beets
So much flavor and variety in this salad - it's very fresh, the dressing is light and enhances the taste of the beets along with the citrus. My absolute favorite - add a side of grilled chicken and it makes a delicious entree. It's my "go-to" meal at Olea
Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Kurobuta Pork Belly
We love Brussels sprouts and these are truly the best. Loved them so much we ordered them again a few days later for takeout!
Duck Confit & Morel Mushroom Cavatelli Pasta
This is my favorite restaurant in OC period! It has the best menu items that are so flavorful and delicious. I tried the duck with mushrooms this time and was not disappointed. It was my first time trying duck and didn't know what to expect. The duck was so tender and the mushrooms were exquisite. The pasta complimented the dish very well. Combination was phenomenal and will be recommending this dish!!!
Baked Skillet of Mac & Cheese
This is the best Mac & cheese ever! It's rich and creamy with high quality cheese. Great the next day too.
Crispy Jidori Chicken Schnitzel With Maitake Mushrooms

Artisan Cheese & Cured Meats Board
Perfect mixture of meats and accoutrements. Mouthwatering flavors.. Great to share with a bottle of wine.
Baked Skillet of Mac & Cheese
This Mac & Cheese is UNREAL. Creamy and delicious. We added truffle and it was such a game changer. You can't beat a macaroni like this
Sustainably Harvested Chilean Sea Bass
The Seabass is amazing. The veggies and sauce that come with the meal are so delicious, you will want to lick your plate. All the food is amazing! Not one bad option yet! Take out during the pandemic has been so seamless and great way to do date night at home. Super bonus points for hubby for picking up my favorite drink too. Absolutely Love Rich Girl' best drink in CM! I can't wait to go back!
Artisan Cheese & Cured Meats Board
The cheese board was beautifully prepared with a wide array of meats and cheeses. The herbed goat cheese was to die for ! Extra side of bread was very necessary.
House Made Sugar Pumpkin Agnolotti
Visited for the first time on our anniversary and we were amazed that everything was delicious from the agnolotti (be sure to get the fresh bread to soak up the brown butter) to the Mexican lime creme brulee!! We can't wait to go back to try more delicious food. 5 stars in our opinion!
Double R Ranch Bone-In Ribeye Steak
Best deal in town. The mewt is cooked to perfection. We ordered it medium rare. It was juicy with a nice sear. I couldn't believe the amount of food we received. The vegetables and sides perfectly complemented the dish. Thank you chefs. You made this pandemic a liitle more bearable.
Sustainably Harvested Chilean Sea Bass
Delicious seabass, highly recommended for any fish lover!
American Wagyu Wine County Burger
Burger was excellent. Good quality meat, good bun and great toppings. And I could eat those fries all day!
Double R Ranch Bone-In Ribeye Steak
The steak was steakhouse quality and medium rare was cooked to perfection. Provided a great full body cab to go with the meal!
Crispy Jidori Chicken Schnitzel With Maitake Mushrooms
I haven't had a good meal out in sooo long! The evening was perfect. We had amazing service as well. Shoutout to Sara for the great wine, & food recommendation, and service!!
Crispy Jidori Chicken Schnitzel With Maitake Mushrooms
The best schnitzel you will find outside of Europe! It is perfectly crispy and tender and perfectly paired with root vegetables. This is my go-to order, along with a side of truffle fries, and it's just too good to stray from.
Signature Crispy Meyer Lemon & Honey Duck Wings
These are the absolute best .... we get them every time we go!! We are locals and love to come to Olea on date night and sit at the bar watching them make all the wonderful craft cocktails. Many many other dishes are wonderful as well. Some of our favs are the short ribs, burger, filet mignon .....
Signature Crispy Meyer Lemon & Honey Duck Wings
Served hot, to a crisped perfection. These wings are prepared wonderfully from the crunch on the outside to the meat that glides right off the bones! The glaze that sits both over and beneath the wings give it such a mouth watering satisfaction. You really could never have enough of these. Rich. Juicy. Crispy. Sweet. Savory. Signature Crispy Meyer Lemon Duck Wings
Pacific Northwest Filet Mignon
This file is probably one of the best I've ever had. I don't eat a lot of meat so when I do I'm very picky. It was cooked to perfection and the temperature was spot on. I live around the corner luckily so getting this to go during me to go only world we live in at the moment… Was amazing. Thank you so much!
Crispy Jidori Chicken Schnitzel With Maitake Mushrooms
Ordered from Door Dash. It was dry overcooked and completely flavorless. So was the spaetzle. Also ordered the Wagyu burger our request was well done and it was medium rare.
Dark Chocolate Chunk & Fromage Blanc Cookies
This dessert was absolutely delicious! And, btw, Inga the bartender, makes amazing craft cocktails!
