Best Georgian Restaurant Saint Louis Near Me

Paul Niesen: This little restaurant is a gem. Parking was tight, but the food and service more than made up for that inconvenience. I enjoyed the shrimp kebab -- wonderfully seasoned, served with rice and seasonal vegetables. Our party feasted on humus and flatbread as an appetizer. Our waiter recommended a wine that went well with our dishes. In all, an absolute treat. I look forward to my next visit there!Vegetarian options: The menu has a nice array of vegetarian-friendly dishes. They all sounded wonderful.

Sonjay Joseph Fonn, DO: Dang! Where do I start. The ambiance, music and hostess were the only good things. Place was empty on a Friday night which was our first clue as to the impending horrible food and service - the waiter was in a regular tee shirt and shorts😳, took forever despite only two other tables, forgot our salad; and the food didn’t make up for it - dry, stringy overcooked kabobs and old dry rice. $60 for an appetizer and entree.

Deborah Seeger: We waited a relatively long time for being the only customers not served yet. Food was over cooked. We ordered a beet salad and never got it. There was only 2 other tables occupied, our server should have been on top of the order.

Ashley: Has this restaurant always automatically added 20% gratuity? We’ve come to this restaurant at least 10 times always on a Friday night and we’ve never looked at the itemized receipt. Tonight was different because I was curious on how much they charged for the chocolate martini and I saw the gratuity on there. We never cared to look at the itemized receipt because we always tip 20%. I am going to be livid if our server which is usually the blond guy with glasses has been receiving a 40% tip the other 10 times we’ve been there. In addition, the 20% tip is not posted anywhere in the restaurant or on the menu.

Meghan Brauch: Lovely experience at Aya Sofia this past weekend celebrating a birthday. Not only did we have amazing food and service, but they gave us champagne after we had to hide in the hallway from the tornado warning. I highly recommend this restaurant!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Janelle Watts: Went on my birthday. Great food, amazing staff, just not the best parking options, but that hasn't stopped using from repeated visits.Parking: Very few spots by the restaurant. Had to park in a lot in an alley behind the restaurant.

Ted Meyer: I have never had Turkish cuisine before. Rarely have Lamb. The chops were EXCELLENT. Everyone enjoyed their dishes.

Sahar z: food was average but it is nice place but kinda dark, there is no enough light in middle part of the restaurant to even recognize your food color

Farnaz Babaie: Great Turkish food! We had Kofte and Islandar. Both were delicious and tasty. The staff were so polite and nice. They checked with us very often and refill drinks almost every 5 mins. It was good but I think it was too much. I have one small point that they can easily fix. It was so dark there. We could not see what was in our plate.

Sean Murphy: This restaurant is an absolute hidden gem, and we have dined here enough times to assert this fact. Friday night was no exception; Prescott took care of us, which was the second time we’ve had him as our server, and he did not disappoint. Super well-versed on the menu AND of Mediterranean cuisine and wine, he steered us in the right direction while also taking exceptional care of us.I ordered the Tavuk (chicken) stew. Served in cast iron, it reminded me of a delicious yet not-too-spicy chicken Tikka or Tandoori dish, the latter of which as Prescott described it. We got the Meze platter for the table, and everything on it was fresh and delicious, but OMG the hummus and fresh pita are as good as they come! My spouse had the Kofte platter, and that might be my favorite dish of all.All in all, consistently delicious with unique and fresh flavors, paired with outstanding service and beautiful interior decor, are what keep us coming back again and again.

Egemen Curuk: This place is an experience!I was introducing Turkish cuisine to my friend and this restaurant made me feel proud. We got lahmacun (it’s quite big like a pizza) very rich in flavor, shish lamb kebab (see picture) I mean it speaks for itself. The grilled vegetables were great as a side. We also ordered a skewer of Adana, it was an experimental version of the authentic Adana kebab and it was indeed very good. That was my friend’s favorite. Also, baklava was PERFECT. The chef of this restaurant is an expert in seafood, you’ll see the news stories in the entrance. Definitely try those options. Have it with some Rakı.Other than that, great ambiance, nice concept, great lounge type music, well trained and professional staff, welcoming host. The place has a very nice high-end vibe. We will definitely come back, with more people! Serefe!

Mehriban Ahmadova: Perfect place, service and delicious meals.

Elke Overton: Amazing place! Very excited about this new discovery! So many menu items and choices! Very eclectic!!Recommended dishes Grape Leaves, Baba Ganoush, Kuzu Incik …More

Jenn Maguire: Fantastic food so delicious 👏

Tess Losada Miner: We are obsessed! Sit on the patio, get all the dips, the egg salad from heaven, and the roasted carrots which are divine - a cold glass of white wine in the sun under a parasol and wow you’re about as close to Europe as you can get in STL. Never change, Olio!!Recommended dishes Famous Egg Salad, King of Kings Hummus, Hummus and Pita …More

Johnson Lancaster: Second visit for me and a dinner guest. The food is amazing. The beverages were spot on.

Jeromy Boze: Great food. Patio is very nice.

Judy Ross: Food delicious, service not so great. We had a 11 am reservation. Several minutes after ordering we were told that they were out of several of their main dishes including the lamb and the chicken. In general we found the staff to be kind of rude. They brought out one entree and then the rest of the table had to wait 20 minutes for their meals. The outdoor seating is lovely— especially for those of us who love to garden.

Peter Maliha: Delicious food! Really hearty and fresh. You walk out feeling really good and satisfied. One of the best daytime spots in STL.

Pedja Maodus: Odlična jagnjeće butkica za rucak u 16h

Jess Watson: Very disappointed. Tock lost our reservation, but the host was kind enough to make it work and seat us outside. (Cold and windy but I don’t blame them for seating us outside, it was the reservation apps fault).Our server seemed mad to serve us and had very few words to say. The only time he was fast to return and check in on us was when we asked for the check.The starters were good but not worth it. Some $10-15 tiny plates are so delicious that you don’t care that it is basically $3/bite. This was not the case here. Shishitos we’re basically flavorless and the pickled veggies were cut so big and were so underwhelming in both flavor and presentation.The warm pita and the caponata was great. The only reason I might try Olio again.We got some cocktails that were average so nothing to say about those.We were so disappointed by our server that we didn’t even bother ordering dinner and we instead just got take out from Tin roof. I hope that the server was just having a bad day because he was unpleasant to interact with. Shame because we went there to celebrate my college graduation and were ready to enjoy some great food and cocktails.

Giancarlo Andreoli: Il cibo era ottimo, peccato che mancassero diverse cose dal menù

rosalind latham: I have been passing by this place for 3 years, so when my girlfriend wanted to go for her birthday dinner, I joined her. The place is so cute with its own herb garden and greenhouses. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. We sat down and ordered drinks, which were excellent. The menu, which is Mediterranean, isn't very big, but we ordered different entrees so we could see what they were. I had the lamb shank since the lamb shoulder with hummus was sold out. It came with 3 sauces and yellow rice and chickpeas. It was cooked just right and was very good. It was supposed to be a plate for two, but I could eat that all by myself. My only complaint is the glasses the drinks came in were smaller than the usual martini glass, and the chairs are auditorium chairs and too hard. We had a great time and will go back again.

Maggie Oliveri: Food was AMAZING!!

Amy Fitzgerald: Highly recommend! Amazing food and drinks and great service. Love the ambiance. Lots of vegan options too!

Adam Levine (Adam Nate Levine): i mean. we’re talking fresh food on a hot st. louis summer day? nothing hits the spot better

Joseph Ensley: Wow!!! The food was DELICIOUS and we could tell attention was paid to the quality of ingredients. Bartender was knowledgeable about various types of alcohol and liqueurs, and the drinks were fantastic! I would highly recommend the hummus with the pine nuts (can't remember the name at the moment), but it was so good we ordered one to go! I wish we lived closer because this would certainly be a regular spot to enjoy!

Sheri Lind: Incredible botanical garden with a gorgeous menu. Service could be improved all around. Disappointed they were out of olives. Perfect place for patio weather!

Devinee Stroud: My husband and I came to Olio for a date night and we had such a great experience! They happened to have a wine tasting happening while we were there and we had a great time enjoying the wines as well as chatting with the featured vineyard owners. The servers were friendly and cheerful. The food was so so delicious. My husband and I split the deluxe hummus, the bruschetta toast and the egg salad toast and it was more than enough for the both of us. I also got the ginger spritz which was really refreshing.We left full and satisfied! Will definitely be coming back and bringing friends next time.

Joshua Spurgeon: Very fun lunch date in a tastefully converted restaurant from a historic automotive shop/garage.Unique small plates of food to share and enjoy.Excellent service and delicious menu items in a memorable dining experience.They have indoor seating, a large outdoor patio area, and a small indoor private room for parties or reservations.My wife and I liked this place very much.

videsh deshmukh: Excellent food. Plenty of vegetarian options. Service was very good.

Yigal Y: Wonderful atmosphere.Good service

Jason Hoffarth: Olio was great and the epitome of middle eastern cuisine! The chicken kefta and turkey thigh were both tender and juicy and the flavors were out of this world. You gotta check this place out!

Marzen Baldonado: Awesome Chai!
