    The wine recommended by our server. Scott was amazing. All the small plates we had were delicious! Definitely going back! They even had a flamenco dancer.

    We try to eat at least once a month at Ole Tapas. The food and ambience is fantastic. It's family owned and operated and most of them work in some capacity at their restaurant. The friendly waiters and waitresses do a fantastic job explaining the dishes and the wines that complement them. Most are part of the family and their pride in Tapas shines through. Food is very authentic!

    Our Valentine’s Day dinner was perfect, as it always is when we have special occasions celebrated at Ole Tapas restaurant. The selected menu had a variety of delicious entrees, appetizers and to end the best Tres Leches cake ever. Their wine selections have so many to choose from. Our waiter’s recommendation was a perfect compliment to our meal. However, I saw several couples enjoying pitchers of sangria and it looked delicious. I’d like to try some next time. The atmosphere is lovely, romantic and good choice of background music. We have gone there when they had live music and it was great.

    As usual, Ole Tapas did not disappoint. We were a little apprehensive about the fixed menu, but there were some choices and all were delicious! It was very nice that they kept the TVs in the bar area off and it was quiet enough to have nice conversation. The staff is always very attentive without being overbearing. Very happy with the decision to go for Valentine's Day. They also did up the decorations for the occasion!

    Great food and great service from Nacho & Scott! We moved a few months ago to Delaware and this is our second time here and will make it our regular spot to be! Food is fresh and a vast wine selection! Definitely recommend all those to visit
