Oleana Cambridge Reviews
Excellent food and ambiance! A bit pricey, but worth the
Excellent food and ambiance! A bit pricey, but worth the splurge for a special occasion. Everything we had was prepared expertly, and the service was impeccable. We ordered the Halloumi, Gigante beans, Hummus basturma, Hake croquettes, and the Sultans delight, with the last two being our favorites. The croquettes had such an amazing flavor and the beef was perfectly tender. My husband really enjoyed his Birthday dinner here; the complimentary desert was a thoughtful addition! Would definitely recommend this place to a friend
The food is just out of this world.
The seating is quite tight and the service thus rather forced to juggle spaces between tables to bring plates. The orders come as convenient gor the kitchen which can be an issue when more stuff comes than fits on tiny table or wait between dishes is extended. Only go if you want to talk to your table partner(s).
Oleana very much lived up to the hype.
Everything we tried was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, and service was attentive and friendly. We came right at opening and there was already a line. We had reservations and the line moved quickly as soon as they opened the door. We opted to sit outside - the back patio is beautiful, well lit and with lots of plants. Our waitress recommended we order 2-3 dishes per person, and we ended up ordering a total of 8 dishes between the three of us, including a dessert. The wine list is extensive and we split a bottle of white that was lovely. On to the food - we followed the waitress's recommendation to order all our dishes at once and have them spaced out by the chef. We had our 8 dishes over the course of about two hours, and the timing was perfect - whenever we finished one plate, the next one or two would be out shortly. We ordered the whipped feta, za'atar bread, mushroom kofte, fatteh, corn and ricotta dumplings, quail, and halloumi, plus the cremolata for dessert. Literally everything we had was delicious, but what stood out as particularly scrumptious to me was the za'atar bread (perfectly moist and pillowy, with added flavor from the date butter and labneh) and the fatteh (super flavorful cauliflower with a delicious yogurt sauce and nice crunch from the sheets of phyllo). Our total came out to a little over $200 - pricey but SO worth it.
Came here for dinner for my boyfriend's birthday.
We had a 9:15 reservation and were sat very quickly. We didn't really know what to get so asked the waitress for some recommendations. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and provided some great suggestions. We ended getting the Za'atar bread, fatteh, dark leafy greens, mushroom kofte, shrimp shish, and lamb moussaka. I liked most of what we got! The fatteh, shrimp shish, and mushroom kofte were my favorite. I definitely would recommend those. The one thing that threw me off a tiny bit was the temperature of the dishes. A couple of the dishes were room temp / luke warm but that totally could have been the intention!! I'm really glad I tried Oleana and would happily come back if I got a reservation!
The line out the door before it even opened plus not having
The line out the door before it even opened plus not having a reservation was a concern, could this by hype? Clearly not hype. 100% service driven was evident when they seated me at the patio vs pushing me towards the bar for a party of 1. The beauty of the outdoor is complimented by the staff as they move like a well orchestrated Broadway play, dancing seamlessly from right stage to left in their staring roles, but also floating into under study roles clearing plates and refilling glasses. The food was phenomenal but the star is the staff. I dare you to try and find any reason to not give them a 5 star.
Me and my friends went there for dinner, we didn't have a
Me and my friends went there for dinner, we didn't have a reservation, but we were lucky to catch spots on the bar! The food is amazing, small plates more like tapas, but every single one was delicious!!! We got a lot of stuff and we all shared them! I am not a desert person, but I definitely go back for those deserts! Service was great, we really had a great time! I really want to go back!
This is the best food we've had in our 3-4 years living
This is the best food we've had in our 3-4 years living here! We were blown away at how amazing the flavors were. The service was fabulous, very attentive and helpful. I almost don't want to hype it up too much so I can keep getting reservations (better than Sarma in my opinion)!
First time diner last night on the recommendation of some
First time diner last night on the recommendation of some colleagues. We had a friendly and knowledgeable server...she knew the menu cold and her knowledge of the eclectic wine list was really solid. We started with a Hungarian red blend we'd never heard of (let alone tried before) that was recommended by our server. We both thought it was a great choice. We had the Gigante Beans, Plum & Cucumber Salad, Grilled Broccolini, Hake Croquettes, and Warm Buttered Hummus, and finished with the Ekmek Kataifi for desert. Each dish was a unique take on middle eastern cuisine. Picking a favorite would be like picking a favorite child. Delicious. We'll be back.
One of my favorite restaurant dining experience in Boston.
The vibes were immaculate outdoors, the food was thoughtfully prepared and fun, the service was friendly and attentive. Let's talk about the food: - za'atar bread: fluffy and the date butter is unmatched - spinach falafel: you must get it. I loved the whole experience of eating it - sultan's delight: delicious. I can see why this is a guest favorite - swordfish: it was a bit too dry. I'd skip this and try something else on the menu - topik: such a unique flavor profile. super nutty, creamy, and rich - lemon chicken: it was good but not life changing, which is okay. I would get something different if I go back - baked alaska: just get it. It's so worth it
Awesome food and unmatched dining experience.
Fan favorite ... hummus potato! This should be a must stop for any trip to Boston but reserve early because they book up very far in advance.
Still the best in Cambridge
Tables are hard to come by on their reservation site but you can grab one if you're patient by walking in. There was a pleasant hidden courtyard to site and enjoy a drink and relax. Waitstaff were extremely attentive and sensitive to the extent of our wait. Their Oleanna-groni is very different from a traditional one and goes down like a perfect summer lemonade - no bite or bitterness and without any cloying sweetness. Dangerous. There are many small plates to share and were full after 4 dishes between the 2 of us - za'atar bread is rather filling. Hummus beef bites were full of flavor in a simple paste and very pretty. The cauliflower/crispy mushroom/pita dish had so many flavors, textures and aromas, it was intriguing and comforting at the same time. We had no room for dessert, sadly. And we needed a brief walk afterwards... But all in all a terrific night.
Good but not great
I hadn't been to Oleana in years and wanted to try it again to see how it was. I was lucky to grab a day of reservation. The ambience and staff are terrific and the food was good, but there was something about it that didn't wow me enough to warrant the price. The best thing I had was the stuffed potato hummus (topik). I probably won't return.
Such a wonderfully delicious dinner
We have very good memories of a wonderful dinner at Oleana before the pandemic. We returned recently, thinking that the restaurant couldn't possibly be as good as we remembered it to be. We were wrong. IT WAS EVEN BETTER, including so many delicious and varied vegetarian meze options (we ordered almost all of them), the extensive wine list, and the decadently delicious desserts (the Ekmek Kataifi that includes fenugreek pudding, kaymak & fig jam ice cream, pomegranate sauce and the filo ice cream cones with sahlep & rhubarb whirl, white chocolate dip and sesame crunch). Plus, we very much appreciated the responsive, friendly and gracious staff. So glad that we returned. P.S. Reservations are a must. P.P.S. Parking is available in two lots across the street from the restaurant.
Oleana’s was simply Fantastic!
This is an awesome Turkish fusion Mediterranean tapas place We met Chef Anna who is a co-owner of Oleana Every dish we had was great We loved the short ribs, the lamb shish, the lemon chicken, Fatteh and bread with date butter. We recommend you try them all We are planning to go to her other restaurant Sarma at the end of the week Please enjoy.
Deliciously colorful food
This charming, upscale restaurant is the perfect way to end the day. The food is colorful and a pleasure to eat, and it's incredibly obvious that the entire team takes great pride in both the quality and the presentation of the meal. There were so many interesting appetizers that we were hard-put to choose, much less choose an entree! We ended up sharing the whipped feta, the za'atar bread, the grilled asparagus, the lamb shish, and the lemon sole family-style, and it was a good decision to do so - everything was so good that we were glad we got to try several different dishes. The food is very light, so even if you order several things, you won't feel stuffed. The staff were professional and friendly, and made our dining experience very pleasant.
Outstanding food and hospitality!
Fabulous evening at Oleana! Huge thanks to Jake for finding a table for us at short notice! Wonderful cocktails and incredible food - think Ottolenghi +++ ! Excellent recommendations from Jenna to help us choose from an amazing range of sharing plates. Save room for the Baked Alaska. Can't wait to be back! Don't miss this!
Amazing place!
Came here for reunion visit and ate here with my wife. Food was really delicious and we were able to eat here fairly late as we had just flown in. Food and service was top-notch and our deviled eggs, fatteh, mussels, and other items were very delicious. Great spot. Josh our server was outstanding!
A Summer Feast at Oleana – Vibrant Flavors and Romantic Ambiance!
Oleana is a feast for the senses, and Chef Chris has truly mastered the art of bringing the colors, spices, and freshness of summer to the table. Dining here feels like a vibrant celebration of Mediterranean flavors. The Stuffed Potato Hummus was a standout, with pine nuts, currants, and radish adding a delightful mix of textures and flavors to the creamy hummus base. Every bite felt like a perfect harmony of sweet, nutty, and savory. The Spinach Falafel was equally impressive, served with a tahini sauce and beet tzatziki that provided a refreshing contrast to the crispy falafel. The tanginess of the pickles and the depth of flavor from the red pepper dumplings, topped with crispy shallots, was a match made in heaven. And the desserts—wow! The almond cremolata with vanilla tahini, Urfa fudge, and sumac blackberries was the perfect balance of rich, bittersweet chocolate and the brightness of sumac, creating an unexpected and delightful finish. The patio is absolutely stunning—romantic and intimate, surrounded by lush greenery and twinkling lights. It’s the ideal setting for a memorable summer evening. Highly recommend Oleana for anyone looking to indulge in the fresh, bold, and exciting flavors of the Mediterranean.
Skip it by all means.
In no way worth the visit. I'd heard so much hype and went with cousins from out of town who always come here when they visit. I was thoroughly disappointed. I'd be okay with the overpriced and miniscule portions (smaller than any tapas I've ever seen), if the food had interesting flavor, variety of taste, texture and presentation. But it lacked all of the above. Everything except the swordfish and whipped feta looked and tasted just "brown." The wine list by the glass was severely limited. The server did not tell us how tiny the portions were or advise us to order 4 of each thing we wanted to each since each "plate" gave us literally one bite of food. There were only 4 of us; the whipped feta was yummy, but the plate included 2 TBS of feta and 4 crackers, so we each had literally one mouthful. The serving was equal to an "amuse-bouche" one would get for free at the start of a meal at Harvest or most other Cambridge restaurants that serve quality food. There is no world in which this is #1 restaurant in Cambridge on any scale or dimension. The parking, wine list, food, location, and ambience are greatly sub-par. The garden dining is lovely and service was slow but personable. That's too many "no goods" to come out with a high score. I am a great lover of dining out and not a snob at all. But Oleana failed terribly.
We originally made a reservation at Sarma for Sunday at 8
We originally made a reservation at Sarma for Sunday at 8 pm. 10 minutes after being seated the power went out and the restaurant filled with smoke. The manager came by and gave us his card and apologized and asked us to leave because the restaurant was closing for the night. He offered to make us a priority for a re-reservation but that didn't work for us because I had guests in town and specifically made special effort to make this reservation for them a month in advance. I had the idea to go to Oleana, their sister restaurant, who did manage to squeeze us a tiny corner and feed us about 1.5 hours later. However at that point, we were tired and frustrated and hangry and so needed the food to be stunning and it was just... decent. The standouts were the topik and the fatteh. The red pepper dumplings were good but I thought were missing some spice (flavor or heat). They'd sold out of the striped bass at this point which was disappointing (annoyance after annoyance this night!) The lamb shish was decent but a little salty and pilaf was so basic I thought I could make it at home. The sultan's delight was a little too salty but the eggplant puree was very good. And finally the zaatar chicken was good but nothing to rave about. My dad found the crunchy top of it salty. The chocolate sarma was good but not balanced enough for me - a little too heavy and the ice cream didn't cut through the caramel enough. I'm still frustrated that neither Sarma nor Oleana did anything solid to apologize for the bad Sarma experience. Maybe I'm spoiled by other cities but for example after a longer wait than usual, I've been offered a free appetizer with an apology. Oleana did nothing more but I am grateful they squeezed us in at least. I'm no longer interested in trying Sarma and Oleana was just ok so I'll just avoid both restaurants frankly. I should say our server Mari (sp?) was very nice and attentive. Because they didn't have enough room for us, they squished us in this tiny corner. I know I should be glad they found us a table at all I guess but it was just so small. They did offer to change us later which was nice but at that point it's kind of too late when you've started eating. TLDR: don't eat at Sarma. Oleana is good but not the standout I was hoping for.
Oleana has become of my favorite restaurants in Boston.
We did a walk in on a Wednesday and they were super accommodating. We had a drink outside until a table was ready, but it didn't feel like a wait because we could enjoy the very interesting live music! The cocktails were ok, the beer selection limited, although kudos for carrying non-alcoholic beer. I'm sure the wine is great but I'm not a big wine drinker. Ok, now the food is AMAZING! Super interesting. The Vege dishes were my favorites although everything was good. They are small dishes but still filling. And our waiter was helpful in helping us decide how to order. This is the cutest little place and I can't wait to go again!
Very unique Mediterranean Restaurant.
Not the common dishes. Small portions but very innovative and delicious. Parking is very difficult.
Delightful treasure in Cambridge!
I stumbled upon this place because of convenient location, we had a later on plans in the same area, and decided to give it a try. when I couldn’t make a reservation online, I called and they told me just come down there that it’s a good chance to be seated after perhaps some waiting, when we got there, they had table out on the patio, and it was absolute delight from ambience to all the people who works in the restaurant, it was such a wonderful, friendly, happy vibe, and most importantly, the food was exceptional, freshness, flavor, and texture combination was exciting. while I was sitting there and enjoying, I was already planning to come back to Boston just to visit this restaurant! So I would highly recommend anyone to try it.
Family Dinner
Great environment, friendly service, and nice pace of dishes coming out. Most dishes were delicious but slightly too small to share amongst our group of 4. Would love to have the opportunity to scale-up some dishes for easier sharing. That said, would come back in a heartbeat, one of the best restaurants in the Boston area!
love this place.
Such a cozy restaurant with a kind of bohemian vibe. Bartender there was very friendly and knowledgeable and responded some amazing dishes, which are small meddetrrian tapas style. The food was outstanding 1) Bluefish Conserva- light and flavorful with good acidity. Bluefish was fresh and tender 4/5 2) Fatteh- so good. Very savory and light. Greta textures with different vegetables and the crunchy flatbread. The yugat sauce added a nice light tartness too 5/5 3)Sultan's Delight- beef was so tender and great umami flavor. Eggplant pair great with it 5/5 4) red peper dumplings- the only heavy dish I had. Was very interesting and tasty with a rich tomato yogurt sauce. 5/5 5) Vermont Quail Kebab- Tasty dish with thick tender quail atop crispy rice. Very mild kick to the dish with pistachios to add a little nuttiness and sweetness 4/5 6) Turkish Style Profiteroles- a little salty a little sweet, a little savory. Great dessert. Halva added the sweetness and the cooked cashews added a nice saltiness and good texture. 5/5 Will be coming here many more times for the food, ambiance, and kind staff
Absolutely incredible all around.
What a hidden gem. It looks so casual on the outside, but once you step inside, you're transported. They have incredible decor both indoors and on the patio space. The service was lovely. Everyone was always caring and attentive to our every need and went the extra mile. As for the food...WOW. The prices are a bit high, but it reflects in the variety of dishes and how unique each is. From the diverse, deep flavor palette they over to the indulging yet freshness of every bite. I can't say enough. This place really had it all going on. I recommend you treat yourself and take yourself here asap
If i said this was the best meal in the world I probably
If i said this was the best meal in the world I probably wouldn't be exaggerating. It tastes AMAZING!!! The sultan's delight was so good and so was the fatteh. My waitress was so kind and all of the staff was friendly and attentive! The plates are so small! It's hard because my mom is a Christian Scientist and usually she doesn't let me have more than one bite (she doesn't believe in osembic:() But fortunately since the plates are small, you really only get one bite when you shair this food with your big family. Go here if you love to eat some great bites.
The best!.
..enjoy every bite, music of flavors, aromas and textures. Mediterranean with a delicious twist.
Hard to get a reservation but worth to wait! absolutely
Hard to get a reservation but worth to wait! absolutely delicious, including a warm welcome.
5 Stars for what I can honestly say is in my top 5
5 Stars for what I can honestly say is in my top 5 restaurants I've ever eaten at. Also- order everything on the vegetable meze section. We had a Sunday 9:30pm reservation as that's all that was available a week out, but we tried our luck and came in early and scored a spot at the bar. Rebecca was the bartender and came highly recommended by the hostess who suggested those seats over others that happened to be available. We fully trusted Rebecca after she suggested the perfect mineral-forward white wine based on my very bad description of flavor preferences. Of all the dishes we ordered, there was not a single one that felt forgettable. Each dish was surprising and had at least one element that completely blew us away. Below are the dishes you MUST order! - Za'atar bread with pistachio muhammara: This was my single favorite bite of the evening and tbh of 2024. The bread was exceptionally seasoned and the pistachio muhammara was a revelation. It was topped with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and olive oil. I'm considering going back tomorrow for this dish. - Spinach falafel with tahini sauce, beet tzatziki, and pickle slices: These falafel were moist and hearty. They balanced the zesty beet tzatziki and pickles perfectly. - Fatteh-- caramelized onions, cauliflower, crispy mushrooms, pine nuts, and yogurt between delicate sheets of filo. Every element of this dish was intentional and necessary to create this simultaneously light and satisfying small dish. Potato and red lentil Kubba featuring Swiss chard, pistachios, eggplant jam, and fried carrots. This is a more robust, filling dish that comes piping hot. It felt like comfort food elevated. Dessert: Do not miss the Turkish style profiteroles or the Milk jam filo rolls. Both are sweet and complex, but also totally decadent. Beyond that, the wine list (many natural wines!) is robust and well curated. And for us newbs, the bartenders and staff are unbelievably helpful and unpretentious. Overall, the service, ambiance, and food stood out and make this restaurant one of my new forever favorites. It truly cannot be missed!
Everything about this restaurant is terrific.
Service, food, even the somewhat crowded dining room. If you have enough people, order one of everything. Delicious. Good wine list too.
Wonderful hospitality! Just want to give Leslie a shout out
Wonderful hospitality! Just want to give Leslie a shout out for being so kind in recommending food over the phone! She was so patient and gave me such great advice. Her kindness and expertise are so appreciated. I'll report back about the food after we eat.

I hadn't been there in a long time and loved everything I ordered (great vegetarian options). It's been around for a long time but the quality is still at its best. The patio was lovely and service was great.

My favorite restaurant in Cambridge! We went here for a celebratory team dinner, and the ambiance was warm, casual, and intimate. Stand-outs on the menu were the desserts! Definitely get the Baked Alaska. Excited to come back and try more of their mezze
I love this place! it's one of a kind! Heart warming and
I love this place! it's one of a kind! Heart warming and delicious. Never had a bad time or bad service.
This place was yum! Very fun to try lots of small dishes.
The spread was good but very small. I really liked the samosa dish. But the star was the donuts for desert. They're like elevated Taco Bell donuts w the yummy cream filling and cinnamon. I came back and got some to go cuz I was daydreaming about it. Great service and cool cozy place but I def felt a little close and cramed to other tables. But delicious fresh foods
The food and service were fantastic.
Everything we got was delicious. It's not a cheap place, but it's worth it!
Loved this restaurant although I visited many years ago and
Loved this restaurant although I visited many years ago and haven't been able to secure a reservation since!
A phenomenal meal.
A special occasion restaurant for sure, but 100% worth trying if you live in Cambridge or Boston. Very easy to order for dietary restrictions. Been thinking about the food for months.
With nearly 2k reviews, you know this is a restaurant worth
With nearly 2k reviews, you know this is a restaurant worth trying. So I'm going to keep it short and sweet with what we ate and what I'd recommend. Fantastic and would highly recommend: - Fatteh - Vermont Quail Kebab - Spinach Falafel - Baked Alaska Good, but not great: - Scallops & Spanish-Style Bean Stew - Whipped Feta - Almond Cremolata - Seasonal Sharbat (cocktail) Would not recommend - Deviled Eggs - Bamboo Improved (cocktail)
Truly the best service in Boston.
Wine selection is amazing, love their sparkling red wine. "Best chicken of my life" - my boyfriend
fine food
Dining at Oleana in Boston was a culinary voyage that celebrated the flavors of the Mediterranean and the art of fine dining. The restaurant’s elegant and contemporary ambiance set the stage for an exceptional meal. The menu was a symphony of fresh ingredients and creative combinations, highlighting the richness of Mediterranean cuisine. The tasting menu was a journey into innovative flavors and exquisite presentations. The staff’s knowledge of the menu and their dedication to culinary excellence made the dining experience truly exceptional. Pairing the dishes with wines from the carefully curated list was a delightful exploration of Mediterranean gastronomy. Oleana is not just a restaurant; it’s a tribute to the beauty of fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a must-visit for anyone seeking an exceptional gastronomic experience in Boston.
Never again
I.e.: nine dollars for one deviled egg is outrageous. Prices are not logical for vegetables and beans. Added gratuity for adminstration/staff whereas a higher salary should be given to employees, this is not the responsibilty of patrons.
Several disappointing glitches
Oleana has been a favorite of mine and my friends for many years. However, some of its allure is beginning to wear off, though the garden patio is still lovely and the food remains good-to-excellent. Last night, my party of four waited in line for half an hour in order to secure a first-come-first-serve patio table. We were relatively near the beginning of the line. The table that we were presented with wasn’t in a location that we preferred. When we asked the employee who was seating people if we might change tables, the response was borderline nasty, so we decided to let it go. We were advised that the meze dishes were likely to arrive in staggered fashion, and so they did. But we were chagrined (and perplexed) that the one person in our party who ordered a large plate had to wait nearly an hour and a half for her dinner. Consequently, the rest of us were at the dessert stage by the time her dish was delivered. Finally, I have been consistently disappointed that what I imagine must be one of Oleana’s all-time most delectable, popular offerings, lamejuns, has been absent from the menu for the last few years. I’ve received various explanations, none of which make much sense to me. Hopefully, the glitches in service and cordiality that we encountered were flukes and the much-missed lamejuns will return.
I love this place and will be bringing every guest I have
I love this place and will be bringing every guest I have in town to try this spot. All the dishes are delicious and the Baked Alaska is a MUST! Make sure to have a reservation because the space is small and more intimate. The ambience is great for drinks, date night, and good conversation with friends.
Upon entering I was underwhelmed by the restaurant as it
Upon entering I was underwhelmed by the restaurant as it felt cramped and stuffy. Our table wasn't ready and there was no where to wait comfortably. However, once seated, the service was prompt and the vibe changed for the better for me. This is a foodie spot! They serve wine and beer only but do have their unique "wine" cocktails which are a fun menu item! To start we got the "hot toddy" and it was warm and flavorful. For apps we ordered the olives , the whipped feta and quail kabob. The olives were so tasty and the quail kabobs were unreal! Loved the plating. We also ordered the latke and I would say this was a must have! For our main dish we shared the lemon chicken. The cheese pancake was delicious! So flavorful and cooked perfectly. Big enough to share. We were sadly too full for desert. We will be back in the spring to hopefully sit outdoors!Tip- pricing is pretty reasonable for the high quality of food if you limit the number of "cocktails" you have.
The food is absolutely delicious! Tastes fresh and has
The food is absolutely delicious! Tastes fresh and has really unique flavors. These are not dishes you can typically make at home. The service was really good, very fast, and the restaurant has a great vibe. Plus they have a great wine menu. Would recommend to fellow foodies in a heartbeat!
Super cute restaurant.
The drinks were fantastic & the food was very flavorful. I recommended a reservation
This may be my new favorite restaurant.
Let me start with the service, everyone was extremely welcoming and the atmosphere was perfect for a nice night out. Now for the food, while the portions felt slightly smaller than I expected, every dish we got was absolutely delicious. My two favorites were the Fatteh and the Falafel. We paired it nicely with a bottle of red. At the end of the night, we enjoyed the food so much that we ended up buying a copy of their cookbook!
Came here for dinner with friends on Sunday and absolutely
Came here for dinner with friends on Sunday and absolutely loved it! For the three of us, our waiter recommended 6-7 plates--we ended up ordering 6 which was the perfect amount for us. We ordered the Spinach Falafel, Za'atar Bread & Whipped Yellow Lentils, Butternut Squash Hummus Special, Dark Leafy Greens, Fatteh, and Stuffed Latke. For drinks, I got a Rose Lemonade, which was perfectly floral and refreshing. Since I can't eat gluten, they were nice enough to provide some crudités for me (cucumber, radish, bell pepper)! Out of the dishes, the Butternut Squash Hummus Special was definitely my favorite, followed closely by the Za'atar Bread & Whipped Yellow Lentils. My least favorite dish was the Fatteh, but overall everything was delicious and super flavorful. For dessert, we ordered the Turkish Coffee Chocolate Custard and the Almond Cremolata. I honestly loved both and am having trouble picking a favorite--the Turkish Coffee Chocolate Custard was creamy and had a variety of textural components which worked well together and the Almond Cremolata was light and delicious. I'd highly recommend both. Overall, this was a great dining experience! Service was so lovely and our food came pretty fast one after the other. I would definitely come back to try more on the menu.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Oleana Cambridge at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Oleana Cambridge page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Oleana Cambridge to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Oleana Cambridge!
