    Went for OC restaurant week and everything we had was delicious from the butter lettuce salad to the apple butterscotch dessert. I had the lamb which fell off the bone and my wife had the seabass both were delicious.

    Even though Olea was very busy with Restaurant Week everything was perfect. Hostess greeted us very warmly and showed us to a table on the enclosed patio which is very comfortable with heaters. Attentive service from Amber - food was served quickly and was delicious.
