    Fattoush with Chicken
    Victoria S.

    I'm staying at the Glenmark and popped into Olia for a salad and drinks. The bartender Rita is uh-mazing. She made amazing drinks just how we liked them. The salad was doused in dressing and not so great, but the hospitality was phenomenal. The bar area is quaint and the eating area is pretty as well. This is a decent option if you're staying at the hotel.

    We had heard great things about Olía and decided to try it for ourselves. Easy and plenty of street parking when we arrived at about 11 am and it's away from the chaos of downtown Glendale. We were greeted by a few friendly employees and handed menus. We ordered a cheese burger and breakfast wrap. Both were great and arrived to our table in about 15 minutes. The breakfast wrap comes with cheddar cheese and I replaced it with goat cheese, it was fantastic! There is a coffee bar with Starbucks coffee and plenty of other coffees available. Seating is available inside or outside and there are heaters on the patio but they weren't on, so we opted for inside. It was loud inside at all and we could hear each other with no problem. We highly recommend a stop here and we will definitely be back. Enjoy!

    Very disappointing service. We said hello when we arrived and the waiter ignored us. We waited 10-15 minutes to order, and no one helped. When the waiter finally came, she told us to wait and then turned away to laugh and chat with another staff member. Poor management and poor service. I don't recommend this place if you value your time.

    California hachapuri
    Alex P.

    As the main restaurant of the Glenmark hotel, Olia features a mixture of California and Armenian dishes. It is a fusion restaurant that does a solid job jumping from a khachapuri to an avocado toast, a feat that few spots would dare to put on one menu. The interior is brightly lit, with large open windows, high ceilings and elegant contemporary bistro furniture. Ordering occurs at the counter and the staff are incredibly kind. There is a homey sense to Olia somehow and despite being located in a hotel, it felt that a lot of the diners are regulars as opposed to hotel guests. Armenians coming to sit down for hours, to enjoy each other's company. The California khachapuri may be the highlight of the menu, served with avocado. As a whole, an excellent spot. Fresh ingredients and an adventurous selection that is executed well.

    Lamb Chops and Caymus Pinot Noir

    I was traveling alone and loved that I could order this high quality meal without having to visit the roof top restaurant. I was in the hotel common area. The atmosphere was cozy and even a little lively. I ordered the lamb and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Beautifully plated too. Service was impeccable. I'll for sure done here again next time I'm in town.

    Waffle

    Staff is patient as well and the aura of the place is so relaxing, however I do feel like there's quite a few things missing. Let's talk about food! The food is definitely fresh and you can tell! I ordered the waffle which was good. The shakshuka was okay nothing revolutionary. I did let them know I can't have spice at all but the shakshuka does have spice in it and was brought out. Thankfully they were willing to fix it! Water you do have to go get yourself. This wouldn't be my go-to however overall wouldn't mind going back again.

    Shakshuka
    Roupen T.

    Olia Restaurant offers an exceptional dining setting...it's clean, upscale, and the attention to detail in the restaurant is truly excellent. The food is also spot on. I highly recommend the Shakshouka and Matcha Pancakes, which were both awesome and really tasty. It's a nice touch that they also serve Starbucks coffee. The only drawback is the service, which was occasionally questionable; staff were blunt, often responding with a simple "no" instead of offering helpful alternatives for requests. It doesn't take much to please a customer; all you gotta do is try. If they improve this approach to customer service, Olia is an easy 5-star restaurant.

    Soujouk khatchapori
    Sarin P.

    This is a beautiful restaurant but everything else was mediocre, at best. Service was kind but was lacking in all aspects of hospitality. Our waiter seemed more confused about the menu items than we were. They noted having half and full sizes of the khatchapori, however, the waiter said that they only come in a "medium" size. She was not able to tell us how much it cost until we saw it later on our bill, which was identical to the full size. We had no utensils and water until after we received our meals. We also didn't get one of our side dishes until after we paid for the check, which we obviously took to go. The price of the meal was not consistent with the quality and value of service as well as the food. Although the food items tasted fresh and came out warm, they were rather lackluster. There wasn't even any salt, pepper, or hot sauce available to us. The one really good thing they have going. Here is their coffee. They serve intelligentsia, which in my opinion is one of the best in the market! Parking is also rather expensive for visitors. To park in their lot, it costs $15. I would opt for street parking if I were you as it is relatively free on most spaces on Brand Blvd.

Lovely, old fashioned diner with exposed brick walls, distressed furniture and a mix of old and new American decor. Very comfortable and homey. The best part was the food though. The chef doesn't know it's a diner apparently. I had a lovely chicken piccata that was superb! The only thing I didn't do was lick the plate clean, it was so good. Fare you'd expect from a nice Italian bistro. They have a devil's den full of desserts they make, too. I had a banana cream pie that was ridiculously good, along with an excellent coffee. They have a full coffee bar as well as the dessert bar. Service was terrific and the pricing was moderate for the quality. Breakfast, lunch and dinner with a large menu filled with American comfort food favorites. We have a ballgame to go to mid August. We are going to eat early dinner here before the game. Cannot wait to try their chicken pot pie!

If you go during the breakfast/brunch rush on the weekends, def take a few deep breaths as there can be a wait. Often, the patio fills up quite quickly. But sometimes it's just the luck of arriving at the perfect moment. As far as the entrees are concerned, I particularly like the Chile Stuffed Skillet when I'm craving a savory breakfast meal. It's made with a pasilla pepper stuffed with bacon, cheddar, and a poached egg. It's baked it in an iron skillet on top of potatoes, and it's topped off with ranchera sauce and sour cream. And let me tell ya, those house-made biscuits are amazing. Warm, crumbly, and melt in your mouth like a good biscuit should. The house-made jams are also a nice treat and feel like having a sample of grandma's (or mom's) kitchen. On of my visits, a friend ordered the Banana Bread French Toast, and it made me wish I had two stomachs so that I could eat that as well. But like a good friend, she noticed that I was eyeing her breakfast like a puppy dog begging from scraps. So she was gracious enough to split some and do a trade with one of my biscuits. I think the trade was quite fair. Next time, we agreed to go halfsies on the Corn Flake Crusted French Toast because they're really exceptional, and the Morning Quiche (which is only served on the weekends).

    Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café…read more Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café reminded me that we live for the wonderful experiences that remain to be discovered. After a wonderful lunch date with my wife at Raffi's Place (please read my review and thank me later) in Glendale, I decided to look for the perfect dessert. After scouting several nearby locations, I decided I was in the mood for a great cinnamon roll. Sweet Demi Lune Bakery & Café looked like the place that would deliver the experience I was seeking. SDLBC is listed as being in Glendale, but it's located in the historic Old Town of Montrose. That's beside the point; I only mention it because there are additional places to explore just up the street. We arrived around 3:00 p.m. on a Saturday, and there wasn't much of a selection left, including the highly sought-after cinnamon roll. The gentleman behind the counter greeted us warmly, and I immediately asked if that was all the pastries they had. He said yes. I contemplated leaving because of the nonexistent cinnamon roll, but I didn't want to be rude, so I decided to give the bakery a try since we were already there. So, we basically took half of what remained behind the glass display case: a Peach Almond Croissant, a Raspberry Pistachio Croissant, an Almond Croissant, and then my curiosity focused on a few lonely-looking pastries that were unfamiliar to my discerning eyes. I asked the gentleman what they were, and he replied with something that sounded completely foreign to me: Kouign-Amann. Kouign-Amann (pronounced queen ah-MAHN) is a traditional pastry from the region of Brittany, France. It is often considered one of the richest pastries in the world because it is made with just a few simple ingredients in generous proportions: bread dough, butter, and sugar. Figuring we needed a few more sweets for the road, we took all the remaining Kouign-Amanns. Two were the traditional version, and the other two were filled with crème and blueberry jam. We also ordered a Café Americano and a Café Mocha. While we waited for our drinks, I simply couldn't wait any longer. Like a kid on Christmas morning, I eagerly opened my gift and dug right into the Kouign-Amann. Hesitantly, I tore off a tiny piece with my fingers, expecting nothing extraordinary, and instantly gave birth to a brand-new experience that exploded in my mouth. The crisp exterior gave way to the soft, flaky center, followed by waves of what tasted like delicate honey. I tore off another piece and shared it with my wife. One look at her eyes told me she wanted more. By the time our drinks were ready, we had devoured one of the Kouign-Amanns and confessed to the gentleman behind the counter that we had just experienced pure ecstasy in the form of a pastry. Kouign-Amann is, in fact, one of the richest pastries in the world, so don't let the unfamiliar name keep you from trying one. The Café Americano and the Café Mocha were also exceptionally well prepared. With everything that's happening in the world these days, a simple yet profound experience like this reminded me how wonderful life can still be. Like Arnold said... "I'll be back." Enjoy!

    I stopped off and had to have the chocolate mousse sponge cake. It's gluten-free and I will tell…read moreyou they have a lot of really delicious things to try. The croissant selection is incredible. I love the indoor seating, but they also have outdoor seating. I washed it down with a short Americano, two shots and I threw in some extra cream. It's delicious. The coffee has a nice mild flavor, but nothing beats the sweets. I have to tell you this chocolate mousse cake is the right portion otherwise I would eat the whole thing in this case the powers that be more wise and gave me a slice and Man was it delicious.
