    The wine recommended by our server. Scott was amazing. All the small plates we had were delicious! Definitely going back! They even had a flamenco dancer.

    Our Valentine’s Day dinner was perfect, as it always is when we have special occasions celebrated at Ole Tapas restaurant. The selected menu had a variety of delicious entrees, appetizers and to end the best Tres Leches cake ever. Their wine selections have so many to choose from. Our waiter’s recommendation was a perfect compliment to our meal. However, I saw several couples enjoying pitchers of sangria and it looked delicious. I’d like to try some next time. The atmosphere is lovely, romantic and good choice of background music. We have gone there when they had live music and it was great.

    Great food and great service from Nacho & Scott! We moved a few months ago to Delaware and this is our second time here and will make it our regular spot to be! Food is fresh and a vast wine selection! Definitely recommend all those to visit

    Our server, the bartender was FANTASTIC! His recommendations were outstanding for wine and food! Each plate was better than the next and the paella for our meal was spectacular! Although it was a bit loud, the service was excellent and the flavor profiles of the dishes were incredible! 10 out of 10!

    I'd call this a hidden gem restaurant. Very nice atmosphere, service, food. We dined on 1/25 and the great service started as soon as we walked in the door. The hostess was very accomodating and fantastic through our entire visit. Seems like she kept everything running smoothly in the restaurant. Kudos! Our server was great, explaining the food and wine. Will come back to try the paella.

    We always enjoy dining here. Unfortunately I have new dietary restrictions since last time I was in, so I called ahead of time. They were very kind and assured me that they could accommodate me. When I got there, the server (Annabelle-she was new that night but very impressive) was prepared with options, and we had a wonderful meal. I had been nervous to go back with my new dietary restrictions, but I am so happy to know that I can still go and enjoy a delicious meal and pleasant dining experience.
