    Really fun night out! Food was really good with the seafood especially being in the outstanding category. Waitstaff was knowledgeable and interested in making sure you had the best suggestions. Our eyes were a little bigger than our stomachs but dessert was still a must. The bread pudding had the table oohing and ahhing. We will be back to try the full plates and maybe the paella. A real winner of a restaurant in the pike creek area.

    I didn’t get to eat as my reservation was for 1 o’clock and they weren’t open. We stayed for about 20 minutes and still no opened restaurant. I was extremely disappointed because we love this restaurant but have been deterred because they didn’t open while still taking reservations in this app.

    First time at a Spanish restaurant, let alone a tapas place, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I must say not only was all the food fantastic, but our server was truly spectacular at his job. We will certainly be back! Oh and get the lamb chops!

    It's always nice to find a restaurant that offers something new, and Ole Tapas did not disappoint. Everything we tried was delicious. The service was outstanding from the minute we walked in. And the place is clean with a relaxing atmosphere. They obviously have pride in their establishment. I highly recommend it!

    Ole Tapas is one of our favorite spots - and this time we enjoyed the added treat of a live flamenco dancer. The new menu has lots of yummy treats and interesting wines. Go, go, go - whether it’s a special date night or a random Tuesday. You won’t regret it.

    We consistently have an amazing night out when we come to Ole Tapas. Our food is always amazing- cheese, meats, the hot tapas are on point, fresh, and unique, and the cheesecake was amazing (and Gluten Free). We will continue to come back time and time again.
