It was a beautiful sunny day so my husband and I sat on the beautiful patio. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. We enjoyed the soup of crab and lobster and crab cakes and salad and sandwich. All was perfect and an absolutely wonderful day. We highly recommend the restaurant. read more

You had me at soup flight! Nice place, well maintained I would like to see gin drinks on the cocktail menu. Had the beet martini, some people would appreciate this but it was too strong for me. Maybe some olive juice in it? Creative menu, missing the scallop ceviche read more

Consistency is an under appreciated attribute of a restaurant. We've been visiting Olesia's for a long time...pre pandemic, previous building, and throughout, the quality of the food remains excellent. For that reason alone, everyone should consider a visit. I can't get past the Pork Schnitzel and my wife loves the Salmon and the Pirogies and the sausage. They make the Crème Brûlée in house, so it is perfect. I suspect if one of the menu items we haven't tried (very few) is ordered, it would be experienced likewise. Good, just like six years ago. Want to be assured of a great meal? This is the place, today and next year. read more

First timers who will be back for another date night. Beautiful patio with live music on a summer night. Several servers checked on us throughout the night. Recommendations were on point. With a vast menu, we ended up loving the complimentary bread/butter, trying the crab cakes and soup flight (chicken paprikash was our fav), then ordering an entree, a salad and a side. Even ordered a second mocktail since the first was so good (a first for me)! read more

I went straight for the family comfort food. We are traveling and stopped here on the way to Michigan. DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The ambiance is classy, upscale yet holds history. The staff were informative and educated. Drinks were fantastic and the food hit home. Reminded me of my great grandmothers recipes. Wish we lived closer. read more

Dinner in the Speakeasy at Olesia's Taverne in Richfield specializing in Ukrainian-American cuisine! We grabbed seats at the bar and enjoyed the live music. The bartender was attentive and poured strong and delicious drinks. I would definitely skip the Deviled Eggs next time, tasted slimy and made way ahead of time. The salmon and steak were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Plenty of parking available in the parking lot.

Beautiful place, makes you think you have to dress up. Business casual was the majority's attire. Food was delicious! A little pricey, but worth the wait for dishes you normally don't get in Ohio, or from this country. They seemed a little short handed, but could have been leaving us alone because we were dressed up for our anniversary. We did see a decent amount of staff, but the place was packed and hopping. Definitely upscale! We wandered to the bar downstairs when we first got there since we're early for our reservation. And it was delightfully cat themed! There is some cat decor in the dining area upstairs, but more discreet. read more

We had dinner at Olesia's for an anniversary and would highly recommend. Very well decorated and nice ambiance with a beautiful bar area. Service was prompt and friendly and the food was awesome. We split a bowl of lobster bisque, enjoyed crab stuffed salmon and scallops for dinner (I guess we were in a seafood mood!) and then split the carrot cake for dessert. Everything was delicious and fresh, including the bread and garlic butter, and the servings were generous. read more

Stopped into Olesia's for a quick bite and hopefully some shareable options. This was my first time in and the vibes and ambiance of the place are fantastic. Super nice interior with a great patio that is well shaded. Our waiter was kind and knowledgeable of the menu. The menu is pretty large and do offer a variety of foods that deviate from their Eastern European cuisine if that is not what you are into. We got Olesia's platter to share which came with sausage, stuffed cabbage and pierogis. I'd say the pierogis were the best. The stuffed cabbage was a bit too rice heavy for my liking and I did not love it. We also ordered the deviled eggs which we all were not the biggest fans of as we found them a bit bland and very watery making them tough to eat. The final thing was the beet salad, it's very arugula heavy and I was wishing it was a bit larger with additional toppings rather than it mostly being arugula. This place is a bit on the pricier side and portions are not huge so just know that in case you are planning to potentially share something. Overall, Olesia's is a very cute place and offers a large menu and is definitely a place to give a go. their sausage was great and pierogis as well as the Saurkraut so those would be my recommendations! It also is a great place to sit and chat indoor or outdoor with some drinks and quick bites or full entrees. read more

If I could give Olesia's 10 stars, I would. Every single bite of food was outstanding; starting with the deviled egg appetizer to the entrees and dessert, just so delicious. They have a full drink menu as well. The architecture of this restaurant is gorgeous and unique, including the wonderfully decorated large patio, makes a great place for a romantic dinner. Service was fantastic, our server Justin S, was very pleasant and polite. They have plenty of vegetarian options as well which was surprising but welcome for the vegetarian in our group. Absolutely we will going to be back for sure, loved everything! read more

Service was excellent. The space itself was nice. Complimentary bread was good. But the food was nothing special. Went there a few years ago and the food wasn't great so haven't been back. Figured it's been awhile and they have traffic so we'd try again. But disappointed with the $30 short rib w/mashed potatoes. It was something we could do better at home and the 3 limp asparagus on each plate was like they didn't care. read more

Good was all fantastic! One of the best sea bass I've ever ate. Service was all great. You could tell they have good team work. Have several different people getting us waters when needed and taking dishes when finished on top of normal waitress. Ambiance was elevated and very nice. read more

From the moment you walk in, Olesia's Taverne impresses with its ornate dining room. Every detail feels intentional, elegant, and inviting. Even before settling in, a quick stop at the spotless restroom speaks volumes about the care taken throughout the space. I chose to sit at the bar, which offers comfortable seating and a great view of the action. Although the bartender was quite busy, she eventually greeted me warmly and offered a variety of menus. While I had browsed the restaurant's website beforehand, I did notice a few subtle differences between the online menus and what was available in person... something to keep in mind if you're planning ahead. The food and drink selections are extensive, with plenty to explore. I settled on a glass of the Inscription Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley. It was smooth, bright, and layered with red fruit and subtle spice. It turned out to be a perfect match for the 6oz center-cut filet, which was cooked beautifully and served with silky mashed potatoes, crisp asparagus, and a tangle of crispy onions. While I could have done without the onions, everything else on the plate was spot on. I also tried a side of grilled asparagus, lightly drizzled with balsamic... simple, fresh, and just the right touch of acidity to enhance the vegetables' natural flavor. Although I passed on dessert (with Country Maid ice cream just down the road calling my name), I left thoroughly impressed and eager to return. Every dish that passed by looked thoughtfully prepared and genuinely delicious. This is clearly a place worth coming back to. read more

Such a wonderful place to dine in at. We always seem to forget about it and then there's a big time gap in between our visits there. Our latest meal did not disappoint. We had shrimp cocktail, flight of soups, the SSS entree and pork schnitzel. All were very good. Only complaint is that we wish we didn't have to ask for more bread from our server when the server at the tables next to us asked them many times. Also, just because we had leftovers, doesn't mean we are not interested in dessert. Our server could have asked but lacked in that area. That's our biggest complaint, but it won't stop us from returning for more delicious meals. read more

We went on a weekday and sat outside But waited over an hour for our orders...we weren't offered any reason for the long wait...others that came in long after us were being served. Noise level was quite high, mostly from the street & motorcycle (!) traffic. Our food was unremarkable & relatively bland.,,mostly expected of eastern european fare. In the middle of dinner there was a fire alarm, fire truck, etc, & we all had to vacate the patio...no offer to comp the guests a dessert or drink tho!! We enjoyed being with our friends, but won't be back read more

Way over priced. Quality of food is very good but price is high. Place is clean and service is very slow. For same amount of money you can eat in many good places read more

I've dined at Olesias a few times, both the main dining area and the speakeasy in the basement. The ambiance in both areas is really nice. The service in the main dining area is always great. However, when we dined in the speakeasy it was just the bartender trying to take care of bar and all the tables and the service wasn't great. My go to, the beef stroganoff - delicious every time. It pains me to give 3 stars based off all of the above. However, the older woman who is the hostess every time we have been there is disgruntled and just plain rude. She's a bad first impression and bad for business. I don't think we will be returning. read more

Our first time dining at Olesia's on New Years Eve. I can not believe we've never been here before and I will certainly not be a stranger. Everything was top notch during our dining reservation. Good cocktails, delicious food and wonderful service. After dinner we wandered downstairs to the "speakeasy" and I wish we had just gone home. I won't let that lackluster experience ruin my 5 star review from dinner but I will say, I would never recommend this portion of Olesias, it is an all around MISS. read more

They don't regularly pound their schnitzel thin enough. It's too thick. Besides that, everything we've had is great.

This tavern honestly blew my expectations. The food was delicious, fairly priced, and the ambiance was perfect. I got the chicken wings, pirogies, and mashed potatoes. All came out very fast and obviously homemade. The service was also excellent and quick. Will definitely be coming back!! read more

We got hungry after a trip up to Cayuhoga national park and several hikes along their trails. It was a wet, rainy day and we were looking for a nice warm meal. Olesia's was definitely on the nicer side of restaurants, but they still served us and were kind regardless of our wet clothing and worn appearances. I got the meatball sliders and upgraded my fries to the rosemary garlic fries, which I'd highly recommend! The meatball sliders were great and I liked the bell pepper based sauce, nice, subtle change from the tomato sauces I'm so used to. I was also able to try the beef stroganoff and the lobster mac and cheese and both were also very delicious. Much more rich than what I had ordered but again, super comforting and warm after a couple cold hikes. read more

We made reservations on a Friday night for dinner and to see Ronnie Clinton in the speakeasy. Easy parking, speakeasy is downstairs. We ordered the chorizo meatballs for an appetizer and they were amazing- so good we both said we would order them for dinner next time, nothing like it around. We had quick service, bartender checked on us a couple of times, our waitress was very attentive, water glasses always filled, the complimentary bread and garlic butter was delish as well. We have had the pork schnitzel and short ribs before and like the mashed potatoes they comes with. They were both excellent meals. Looking forward to come back! read more

Overalll it was a pleasant experience , so just some constructive criticism. First, our server Brittany A was wonderful - very pleasant and knowledgeable. I started witj the Maple Bacon Old Fashioned - this drink was not good. It came with a soggy piece of bacon in it and little fat globs floating in the drink. Very off putting. The wedge salad was delicious. My meal was OK - Short Rib Crepes - flavor was good but sort of mushy texture. Also was told the grilled veggies were asparagus and zucchini - got no zucchini. Finally the tents over the patio are nice - I'm sure great for shading sun and rain - but when the lights come on - it has a bit of a cafeteria feel, would be nice if not quite so bright. Though my visit was just OK - I would return. Part of my experience was my poor choices as the other plates coming out looked delicious. read more

I've eaten here a number of times in past it was fine, but recently got take out twice and it was horrid. Food tastes like chemicals. I wouldn't have gotten it a second time but my husband got it... the menu never changes and it's such heavy food, not something I desire to eat often even if good. The hot soup served in flimsy thin plastic container screams cancer, not so appetizing, nobody ate it, the hummus was a spit sized serving in a ketchup cup (lmao) the pitas burnt and hard and dry, the kids tenders and fries were way too salty for consumption, and the wedge just tasted like a Sysco wedge I can get anywhere all this way over priced. Mashed potatoes taste like chemical flare and I lost my appetite didn't want the schnitzel at this point. The ambiance of the deviled eggs was prob the best thing we got. ‍ I'll let everyone else line up to eat here bc it's not my jam. read more

I came to Olesia's during a vacation and overall, it was a good experience. I really liked the atmosphere of the restaraunt. I sat outside with my family and I really liked the big tents over our head to not deal with the sun in my eyes. The food is delicious and is a true, authentic Ukrainian kitchen. I recommend trying the pierogi, they are very good. The portions served here are large, which is what I and most people want to see in a restaraunt. However, the borsht and crab cakes we ordered for an appetizer weren't very warm and I didn't like that. My beef stroganoff for the entree wasn't hot either. Other than that, it was a very good restaraunt. read more

We had an amazing experience from start to finish planning a baby shower at Olesia's Taverne of Richfield. Alina assembled a stunning balloon arch for us which made a huge statement at our event. She also baked and decorated cake pops and other desserts that went with our chosen theme. The food was delicious as always and was served with enthusiasm and good cheer. Staff was extremely helpful with event set-up and clean up afterwards. We had a group of 25 people in the VIP room, and it was a perfect fit.

Let me start by saying the place is beautiful inside and our waiter was professional, top notch and very attentive. The entrees, while both tasty, left a little to be desired though. I had the Olesia's platter and I was disappointed in that the cabbage roll was 80% rice filled. Just enough meat to keep it together, I guess. The pierogis could have been Mrs. T's and it would not have mattered. It seems all potato/cheese perogies taste the same though. My wife had the beef stroganoff and said it was tasty but very mushy and not very warm. Not at all like what we have seen elsewhere. Our desert was a piece of German chocolate cake. It was very rich and actually very good. Overall, I thought the bill total was more that it should have been considering these factors. read more

Try the soup flight-the borscht is very good. Kielbasa dinner not to be missed. Great food all around.

My husband and I love it here! The restaurant really outdid themselves for Valentine's Day. Upon entering, the hostess gave me a gorgeous red rose. While seated at the bar having a drink, staff including the owner herself made lovely conversation with us. The ambiance normally is gorgeous and was especially lovely with the added Valentine's Day decor. Per usual, we loved the chicken paprikash and pierogis with short rib. We did however have varying opinions on the meat pies. My husband loved them and I would be fine to not order them again. We also poked our heads into the speakeasy which looked cool. That's on our list to try the next time we visit! read more
