Olia The Glenmark - Glendale

We ordered calamari as an appetizer, and it was overcooked and had a rubbery texture. The cocktails were also disappointing and well below expectations. Overall, this restaurant was a complete letdown. It failed to deliver on customer service, drinks, and food. I felt it was a waste of time and money that could have been better spent at a different dining establishment.

To start, the staff were great and very kind however this review will be based on overall experience. I waited to order for about 25 min before I asked to be helped. The experience was definitely not worth what I paid. For a full course meal , I expected the food (steak was dry, ravioli was missing some flavor) to be at least fairly good compared to what I paid for. Lastly, I received all my drinks during my last course and had to ask twice for water during my wait. Overall I could tell everyone around me were having the same experience and someone even asked to speak to management.

It took 1 hour to get only first and second course from a menu that had 9 items. I dont understand how it is possible to limit menu to certain dishes(becauseof the Valentine's day) and fail to make them fast, especially when it was not possible to order outside of that menu. Another 20 minutes waiting for a check. Fancy food, fancy pricing, very low quality service.

Unique dishes that are tasty. When crowded, can take a while for food. Overall very pleasant dining experienece.

I will definitely return! The food was fantastic, the cocktails were delightful, and the service was incredibly friendly. Plus, the restaurant itself is beautiful!
