    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.

    Started off very poorly, as we learned our waiter was in training. Took him a half an hr to get our sangria. But when he did, things began to fall into place. The sangria was delicious and amazing. Then the tapas began to come out. Best pulpo I’ve ever had! The flavors and the freshness of the foods was amazing

    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!
