    We were able to book a reservation for Christmas dinner so were quite surprised to arrive only to have the restaurant closed. No comments about the food or other aspects because we couldn’t experience them.

    Our meal at Olespana was disappointing. This was our second visit to the restaurant and it was very underwhelming. It took about 10 minutes for anyone to greet us, then once we ordered, most of our food came out before any of the drinks. Finally, after asking for the drinks, someone came over and said that we don't have Manhattans. The restaurant is billed as a whiskey bar and no alternative was offered in place of the Manhattan. The food was fine, but not excpetional. I love the concept, but the service needs to be better.

    Nothing was good! What a disappointment! We left hungry, just couldn’t eat anything we ordered.

    Tough to write a review. We made reservations for Saturday, but when we arrived, the restaurant was closed for a fundraiser. They forgot to close the reservation window, so they turned us away. Granted the fundraiser was for a great cause, but at least notify people who made reservations that you are closed. Esta es muy mail hecho.

    So sorry for the inconvenience Philip, but I can swear you that we closed pentacle the week before just for that event. I wish you could understand, we make mistakes but not last Saturday. Hope see you again. Thanks

    Excellent customer service and the food was delectable. I especially liked the Croquetas de Pollo, Patatas Bravas, Gambas al Ajillo, and Crema Catalana!!

    The food was good; service was a bit slow. We both speak Spanish and are used to Spanish food. I was thrilled to see some authentic cuisine I recognized from Madrid. The tortilla española was chunkier than what I was used to (potatoes were chopped not sliced) but quite tasty. I hope they will stay in business and improve the decor, especially the outside. Could there be outdoor eating during the summer?

    Everything was absolutely amazing! Only issue was that they ran out of the Estrella beer, please bring it back!

    Nos gustó mucho la experiencia, justamente celebraban el aniversario y había nuevos platos, como la ensaladilla rusa y los calamares a la andaluza que se echaban de menos en la carta. El servicio correcto, la música española y latina. Se veía limpio y con buen ambiente. Volveremos.
