Located on a leafy brownstone block, Olea is a great place to eat and meet. Whether it be for brunch, lunch, tapas, or dinner there many tasty options. I tried the bacon-wrapped almond stuffed dates and they were amazing! The green eggs and lamb (cilantro scrambled eggs and lamb sausage) was also very tasty.
I biked past Olea for months, and every time I passed it, I made a mental note to eat there. It sits on the corner of a pretty residential block, so it really has that neighborhood bistro feel. There are a few small tables outside, and it's actually pretty well-sized on the inside and VERY romantic. This is a great date spot, although be ready to spend a little more. The menu is tapas style (my favorite!), but they do have a few entrée-sized options. They have almond-stuffed, bacon-wrapped dates, which is generally my top 5 favorite dish ever, and tons of other Mediterranean favorites.
