We did it! We finally went to check out Ola. Friends of ours told us about this great little restaurant. The cuisine at Ola is Latin fusion.
The restaurant itself is very unassuming from the outside but once you reach the dinning room you realize you are in for a treat. The first thing we noticed when we walked in was there were actually Spanish people eating there. It is always a good sign for a restaurant to have patrons that could cook what’s on the menu at home it means the food is yummy.

The restaurant itself on the inside was very clean with a festive décor; it had an island feel to it. The staff was very pleasant and attentive; the food presentation was clean and impressive. I love their use of banana leaves to line the plates. The flavor combinations were out of this world! We very much enjoyed our dining experience. We will definitely visit again soon and next time we will bring some friends. Here are some pictures of the restaurant and the food we ordered.

Hi Louie,
Sorry I forgot to put the link to their website but I corrected that. If you click on the link at the bottom of the post it will take you to Ola’s website and you can find the address there. And to answer your other questions the restaurants I write about do not know I am there to Blog about their restaurant. I only write about restaurants I have enjoyed and I only take pictures of the food I ordered to eat. No one puts out a spread for me. I try to capture the real dining experience that everyone else would have, not a restaurant showing off to a food blogger. If I do not have a good experience at a restaurant I won’t write about it. I’m not in the business of bashing restaurants. I just want to share with people the good dining experiences I come across. Thanks for your comment!
that is so very nice of you –and i am sure you have very good taste and you for sure are wonderful person your friends must really appreciate you —your friend —- louie
