I was with an 8th grade field trip last week. OMG the service was awesome, the food delicious, the staff was great with the students, the dancer had the kids all up dancing. Such a fun and educational time. Will definitely bring my family at a later date.

Food is art. I don't have a ton of money, but when I want to experience something beautiful, I go here.

We could tell our server was newer, but she was great. The food.. not so much. We paid $59 for the meat (chicken, steak, chorizo) and potatoes plate. A little pricey when the food comes out completely cold and barely seasoned, and it was not busy at all so it didn't make much sense. We also got the salmon/white beans plate. The beans were great, but the salmon tasted like absolutely nothing, dry, and cold. We left paying $151 (not including tip) and felt like dinner at applebees would have been a better choice. It was our first time there and it was extremely disappointed

we went here for our (day after) valentines date and the whole experience was amazing. scott took care of us from top to bottom, making both food and drink recommendations, and making sure we had the best experience possible. we had several tapas for our meal, and all of amazing. some of the options seem simple in theory, but ole tapas sources high quality ingredients and you can truly taste the difference. my favorite were the lamb skewers, and the tres leches cake was absolutely to die for. highly recommend!

Blown away!!!! I don't normally leave reviews but everything was exceptional. Scott the server made the best recommendations & was flat out awesome. Food was cook perfectly. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming. I'm in awe. Will be recommending this place to everybody I know!!

Made a reservation at 6:30PM for Valentines Day. We were seated about 10 minutes after we got there. Drinks came out about 1/2 hour later. 1st course came out at 8:06 then at 9 we complained. They canceled out our dinner and handed our check for the drinks. Ended up at Popeyes on the way home. Not a great experience. Not sure if it was too much for them to handle on a holiday or our waitress. Other people with later reservations were getting their food. I have to say the decorations and what they tried to create for the holiday was great. Just didn't work out for us

Food is authentic Spanish cuisine. We eat here frequently and every once in a long time service may be slow.

First time dining here. The atmosphere and aesthetic were very pleasing. We had a very nice/attentive host and waiter. We ordered a few tapas and paella. Was excited for the paella but was disappointed with its flavor. Way too salty and the color was off. From having authentic paella in Spain and elsewhere, and cooking it myself, I could tell this wasn’t not it. While decent, it missed the mark for what it should have been. May return but wouldn’t spend that amount for the paella again.

Food was the highlight of the evening. Very authentic and portioned adequately. Pleasantly surprised at some of the tapas items and how well the food was prepared providing a true culinary experience. Great decor and friendly

What a gem Ole Tapas is! We really enjoyed the hospitality of Anna. The food is top notch and delicious. The Gazpacho is a smooth velvety delightfully tasty version. That has a drizzle of some tasty oil and some perfectly crunchy croutons. The Queso was so good and the Special Steak Chimichurri was amazing. The Tres Leches is unparalleled and the churros were good.Kid-friendliness: There was a really well behaved family of young children when we were there.
