I had dinner at Olo about a week ago. We had the five course "Menu Nordic" and every bit of it was really good. My favourite was the king crab with pork, and my husband enjoyed the "Onion with onion and onion" dish (that doesn't seem to be on the menu anymore). We also loved the yoghurt and rosewater marshmallows that came with the bill. I almost want to go back just for those.
The service was a bit unpolished compared to the other Michelin-starred places I've been to (Postres and Carma). Some of the waiters were clearly not very experienced and as our table was near the bar we could hear the senior waiters teaching them how to do things.
I'll definitely go back sooner or later. The lack of polish in the service is something that doesn't bother me much when the food is that good.
