the place super nice mostly waitress are super diligent with my order. i went there cause i was wondering how its the atmosphere there and its super good. I will recommend to my friend thus the should have more men as waitress and less women a least at the restaurant area. after we eat we decide to stay at the bar for drinks and have more fun but this bartender the name tag was VALENTINA she was so rude, too much IDAF if you like my service or not but after we ignored her attitude we keeping having fun. I suggest that you should rearranged the employee works cause this girls its not a people person at all

We came here New Years Eve. The 5 of us ordered appetizers and dinner. The food was fantastic and the server was incredible. Thank you so much to the owner and his wife greeted us and asked how everything was. Since it was New Years Eve, there was dancing and music. We all rate Olga’s a five star all around. We will definitely be back.

I had such a great experience at Olga’s Place. The space is clean, welcoming, and has a really nice ambiance. The music creates a relaxing vibe that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in.<br><br>Ashley is absolutely amazing — very professional, attentive, and truly talented at what she does. You can tell she cares about her work and her clients. She made me feel confident and well taken care of the entire time.<br><br>I highly recommend Olga’s Place if you’re looking for great service, a beautiful environment, and someone you can truly trust. I’ll definitely be coming back!<br><br>No words to express the gratitude to Natalia the manager! She’s absolutely the best!! Thank you Natalia

The food was good, but the service was very slow. It took a long time to get our food and even longer when asking for drinks.

I went for lunch, and the food was ok; I was not too fond of the steak with onions. The service was not attentive. I went there for the reviews, but I guess it's good for drinks. The tip is included in your bill.

I have a lot to say I don’t know where to start. Although I do think prices are high, the food amount is very generous. I’m a Costa Rican and I have been dying to come here so I could taste a little bit of home and they nailed it.<br><br>Food was spot on and I ordered a couple of tamales since it’s the season and even when I didn’t have much hopes of them tasting as good, they turned out to taste amazing!! I was sad that I only ordered two to go since I live in Maryland.<br><br>I would love to come back!! ♥️♥️

The food was delicious; my group of friends were surprised by the taste and quality of the food. I would recommend knowing some Spanish language. The experience would have been so much better if I knew the language, but they tried.

We love to hear that you liked the food ♥️🫶🏽
