Olea taps the cuisines of Italy, France and Spain for a Mediterranean-inspired menu. Everything is meant to be shared - either in small or large sizes - from the salumi and sausage plates to flat breads, fin fish, meat and pasta. Named for the beloved olive plant, Olea offers a bold twist on Mediterranean cooking with artful presentation and complex flavors.

Housed in a former warehouse space, Olea's décor adds touches of vintage lighting, leather banquettes and bead board to the high-ceilinged dining room and bar. Owner Richard Glass designed the expansive space himself drawing from restaurant experience at Chicago's Green Dolphin Street and Café Absinthe, along with design training from the Chicago Institute of Design.

Theater Night:

Sometimes a Great Notion


Join the club for Ken Kesey’s epic tale set amid the conflict between the Stamper clan – a family of hard-nosed, self-centered lumberjacks – and the out-of-work union loggers in town. But the heart of the story is the struggle between two brothers: one who represents the land, the body and the spirit the pioneers brought with them over the Oregon Trail; the other an introspective, Yale-educated gentleman whose long-awaited return home provides the play’s catalyst. The fury of the brothers’ long-held grudge rises to the surface as their love for the same woman becomes increasingly impossible to ignore.

Her trademark blend of Puerto Rican, Cuban, Mexican, Japanese, and Thai cooking allowed her to cut some of the calories and fat so often found in Latin food without ever sacrificing taste. In Isabel's recently released book, Isabel's Cantina, the L.A.-raised Latin chef and restaurateur shares deceptively simple recipes that make her five West Coast restaurants so popular, as well as many of her own personal favorites.
