    We had a great time trying out various tapas. The lamb was amazing and the best out of all of the tapas we tried.

    Everything was good except for 1 jerk waiter (not ours) who said something slick when we were being seated and asked for a booth. He just needed to butt out. Requested a booth when we made reservations and they tried to seat 2 plus sized people at a tiny table. When I asked about a booth, you would have thought I asked for the whole restaurant the way they all acted. They made us go back to the front while 3 people had to discuss the situation. It was literally a situation where we could have waited 5 minutes for a booth, but they didn't even offer that as a solution. After finally being seated at a booth, the staff spent the next 90 min arranging and rearranging the 4 tables and chairs in front of the booth area, disrupting everyone.

    Went for Christmas Eve dinner with the family. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, the ambiance was lovely, our server (wish I could remember his name) was attentive and helpful with what and how much to order and the food was excellent! Highly recommend for any special occasion! Already want to go back to try more tapas! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    Ole Tapas is one of our favorite restuarants. Great atmosphere and wonderful staff that treats you like family. The FOOD is exceptional. We always get 3 or 4 tapas offerings, not the full entrees. You can't find these dishes anywhere else. Their Spanish bottled wine list has recently been enlarged significantly They offer live entertainment on Saturday (everyother?) Adds a nice touch. Highly recommend!!

    We always have excellent tapas and Spanish cuisine every time we eat here. We love the ambience, the wine and the service. Our waiter is impassioned about the dishes they serve and has great recommendations. Also, the wine selection is excellent. One of our favorite restaurants for a special night out.
