Delicious dinner served by friendly waiter. She was quick to help and offer suggestions. We were not disappointed with generous beef portions and tasty sides. Wine was delicious, too. A classic. Bravo!

We enjoyed a delicious meal at OKU. The fish was so fresh and the texture was perfect! We loved all of the nigiri and tried a few new rolls. The cauliflower starter and rockfish was delicious! Aine M was our server and she was exceptional! She made our night perfect and accommodated a request we had beautifully. We will be back!

I have reviewed this restaurant many times and every single time I give it five stars it continues to never disappoint. Had an opportunity to try a few of the chef specials this evening one was actually a chicken parmesan and fettuccine alfredo which is not a dish that he would typically make there at Olio. It was absolutely fantastic everything was perfectly prepared! Drinks were amazing and Jenny our sever took care of my wife and I and our little baby! We sat outside by a nice warm heater. Everyone was so happy.
