   Music was good but too loud. Effected the overall experience by making it difficult to talk at the table

   An unexpected surprise trying a new restaurant tucked away on a quite street. Food was better than expected. Authentic Spanish croquettes were delicious, matrimonio anchovies & manchego cheese were really good and tasty almondegas. The Tortilla espanhola was only item that disappointed and lacked flavor. Outdoor seating also available which is a plus. Live music setup later (despite not being the best singer) but attempted to make it entertaining. Nice family & friends atmosphere. Apparently the restaurant is closing at this location this week (feb 21 2025) and they could not inform where would be the new location and when….

   Outstanding dinner. We decided to have tapas and appetizers to share. We had the Patatas Bravas, meatballs, croquetas, blood sausage, anchovies and bacon wrapped dates. All were delicious. We will be back to try the Paellas. People beside us had it and it looked yummy. Nice wine list too. We had a great bottle of Spanish wine. Highly recommend this restaurant

   The ambience could use some work. We’ve only eaten here twice as a group of six, but we’ve been seated at the same table both times, which is right inside the door. I also think a tapas restaurant needs a more robust tapas menu. The drink menu is also lacking a Sangria, which would have been nice.

   We were 4 adults, 1 3 year old and a 1 year old. We ordered a bunch of tapas, and a paella for the adults and a burger and fries for the children . The Drunkin Fig, crispy potatoes, meatballs, Spanish omelet, the garbanzo frito, croquettes, a charcuterie board and grilled octopus. Most important they forgot the burger and fries and after asking for it when food arrived it did not come until the end of our meal. By then the children were tired and didn’t want to eat. Truthfully, I felt since they forgot about it they should not of charged us. They also never gave us the croquettes which we were also charged for, but that was also my fault for not catching it on the bill until the next day. The octopus was overcooked and way too chewy. The rest of the tapas were good. The paella de Tierra was very tasty and the cocktails also good. There were only 5 tables of patrons, the host was also waiter and bartender. I can understand restaurants being understaffed these days but 1 person trying to do everything does not work. Would not go back

   service was extremely slow as it it took 40 minutes to get water and 50 minutes to get our drink order even though the restaurant was not packed

   My girlfriend and I had a Valentine’s Day reservation 7:30pm. We got seated and not a single staff ever approached. No gretting, no water, no nothing. I was waving my hand trying to get the attention to staff so we could get some service but no one came over. After 30 minutes of waiting, we decided to leave because of how disappointment we were. We tried to talk to the manager before we left but apparently he was too busy to come talk to me albeit the experience my girlfriend and I had. Won’t be coming back here again.

   I was extremely disappointed when I walked into the restaurant. I had gone there before and it now has plywood tables and plywood wall walls going around. It was more like a family restaurant changed from what we had experienced in the past. I don’t know if they suffered damage from the hurricanes. We were greeted and brought over to a table. It was after we sat there for quite a few minutes, and no one ever came over, we decided to leave.  I’m not saying the food isn’t good. I hadn’t tried it this time. It was good last time. We were there maybe a year or two years ago. Overall, not the experience we were looking for, for the prices on the menu.

    We had an absolutely fabulous experience at Bodega Ole. The authentic Spanish food was delicious. We had croquettes, drunken figs and Spanish meatballs along with seafood paella and meat paella. All were delicious. The cocktails were expertly made and equally delicious.
