Customer Review Summary

OLA Restobar Downey offers a vibrant atmosphere with good food and drinks, making it a great spot for celebrations and date nights. However, experiences can vary significantly based on the day and staff, leading to inconsistent service and food quality. While the ambiance is appealing and perfect for social media, some reviewers noted issues with service speed and cleanliness, particularly in restrooms. Dishes are generally shareable, with a large menu offering diverse options, although some items like sliders and guacamole have been critiqued for lack of flavor. Despite some shortcomings, friendly service and a lively atmosphere, especially with music and outdoor seating, make it worth a visit, particularly for gatherings with friends.

Food is always good, Service is good,and vibes are always vibing. Great specials and It's brunch friendly (im pretty sure they do weekday brunches). If you are up for a cute cocktail they've got you covered there too! It's a great place to celebrate a special occasion, have a cute date night out, or just meet up with some friends. Bring someone you want to impress here. You wont regret it 😊 *update I'm rereading my review and I was way too impressed with the place the 1st few times I went. I've been back to this location several times since and with different people/ groups and what I've learned is that service and food quality vary from day to day. The same food and drinks may come prepared totally differently and depending on the staff that day determines the level of service you receive. The experience has not been uniform enough for me. Here's my updated rating on a scale of 1 thu 10. Atmosphere: 8 still a very nice looking restaurant inside and out. Great for those IG/social media pics. Service: 4.5 - again I think it depends on when you go. Weekdays might be a little better. Food: 6.9 -large portions, plates definitely look impressive. Flavor is kinda mid. Check it out for yourself if you're ever in the area.

Plates are sharable, which I love. because you can get multiple dishes with friends. Sliders need work. Missing flavor. Fries, onion rings are good. Wings are OK. Nachos are good. Menu options are crazy. I have to go back and try more food. Service is lacking a bit. Had to get my own napkins and to go containers. And the server didn't want to take our plates away. So when people where done eating at our table i just put plates on the table next to ours. Only 1 pitcher of water was given to a large table. But the restroom needs desperate attention. The toilet seats are always dirty with urine. Restroom is important to having a great restaurant.

I order the guacamole and it was brownish in color, it did not look freshly made. The margarita drinks are good for $5, just heavy on the sugar. I would recommend gin if less sugar is preferred. Overall the Ambiance was loud and dark, for me personally, is not my time of ambiance, but it may be for others. We celebrated a friend’s birthday here.

Coming here for the second time and honestly it's a good. Great atmosphere, live DJ plays great music and they serve good food. The tablitas are great for sharing but if you're hungry or in a big group then the tablones are better for sharing. Big menu if you want your own plate. Lots to choose from. The drinks are well made. The Michelada flight was ehh. To sweet for me but my favorite one was the pepino flavored michelada. Inside gets pretty loud so sit next to each other instead of across. They also have seating outside. Friendly service. I see what people mean by under staffed but in my opinion service was still great. FYI : The pizza tablita has a pizza with pastrami, pickles and drizzled in mustard. (Incase you don't f*ck with any of that 😂)

This place is real nice and the food is real tasty. Kenya did a great job serving our table. However, I do think the place could use more servers assigned for outdoor.

This place is very nice from inside and out , but service isn’t very well do take a while to bring food. Besides that food was great, they had music playing. I went after 11 so kids weren’t allowed inside anymore only outside sitting.

Great spot to hang out with friends. First time going but it won't be the last! Servers are friendly and helpful, good food and prices are about average if not better for the area.

I recently visited Ola Restor Bar with my family to celebrate my uncle's birthday, and it was a delightful experience. The staff exceeded our expectations, with the manager CHRIS going out of his way to ensure everything was perfect, even accommodating our last-minute adjustments. Our waitress KAT was exceptionally attentive, juggling both the busy patio and indoor tables during the Saturday crowd, which included the Paris Olympics basketball gold medal game. The food was not only delicious but also fairly priced. Additionally, the team made sure we stayed cool on a hot summer day with ample umbrellas, fans, and misting water. We’re very grateful to the Ola Restor Bar team for making our special occasion so enjoyable. Thank you!
