Olea

"Olea is a neighborhood restaurant in Fort Greene with a Mediterranean menu and a few quality houseplants. Service is casual, prices are reasonable, and they serve a range of food that should please just about anyone. Stop by and share a bunch of tapas, or have something bigger like a piece of fish with kale and cauliflower puree. Take a walk in the neighborhood after dinner. It’s an objectively nice-looking area." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, will hartman

"If you find yourself in Fort Greene on a Monday, and you want to catch up with an old friend for at least an hour before ordering fried halloumi and many dips, there is Olea. Or maybe it’s a Sunday, and you want to get some brunch outdoors in the gym shorts that double as your pajamas. That’s what Olea is for. It’s a neighborhood Mediterranean spot, it’s about as casual as someone’s living room, and it’s a good place to eat hummus and labneh—or a whole branzino—with your parents, a friend, or even your friend's parents." - Willa Moore

"So you’ve just moved in with your significant other, and your in-laws want to grab dinner near your apartment. If you live around Fort Greene, go to Olea. It’s a neighborhood institution, and it’s both casual and perfect for pretty much any situation. The food is Mediterranean, and you can get anything from steak to pasta to a wide variety of tapas. Or can grab a kale salad. You can be as healthy as you want here, and it’s also just slightly more casual than your living room." - bryan kim
