Fodor's Review:

Olivar, a cozy Spanish restaurant housed in the historic Loveless Building across from Harvard Exit Theater, offers hot and cold small plates, entrée-size dishes, and desserts. Addictively delicious daily specials—such as albondigas de cordero, or three zaftig lamb meatballs studded with flecks of parsley, garlic, onion, and sea salt—are scrawled on a chalkboard. Lick your fingers and then wash it all down with some not-too-sweet sangria. The cozy room is decorated with murals depicting Alexander Pushkin, the fairy tale author, poet, and pillar of Russian literature. Be warned when eating here: the dining room can get quite loud, and parking in Capitol Hill can be tricky.
