Olé Tapas Bar

Great quaint restaurant. We found it by chance driving down Coral Gables and I immediately wanted to see what it was. I love Spanish food and it didn’t disappoint the food was good and the sangria was excellent! Juan our server was fantastic and the owner was very friendly and nice. Would definitely return. Highly recommend!

Happy to have discovered this place, but sad I didn’t find it sooner. So many times I could have come enjoyed the delicious, tasteful Spanish buffet for only US$ 12.95 highly recommended. A hidden gem you must experience!

Charming ambiance, okay execution meets total and utter chaos in service. We went with a big party for my sister’s birthday, and service was just horrible. Delays in bringing out food and drinks, no water, waiters ignoring everyone’s requests, coffee with no sugar or spoons, a one hour interval between courses, and, piece de resistence, almost one hour to pay the bill because their system cannot split checks. Do not go to this restaurant with a large party, you will be utterly disappointed and it will ruin your night.

We were greeted with free wine tasting! Flamenco dancing and live music! excellent food! Very good prices, like 10 a tapa. Ordered a Bunch of tapas… Wowwww papas with the sausage! Garlic shrimp amazing! The peppers with shrimp were artwork, looked like tulips. Chef brought out flaming sausage to table next to us and personally made sure we enjoyed tonight. Definitely will come again!

Yummy Spanish tapas! Great entertainment from flamenco dancer and Spanish guitarist. Great service

Excellent food and service! Highly recommend this gem of a tapas bar and Spanish restaurant. The décor and ambience was unique. Also have the Spanish Premier League and European soccer games. Have a Happy Hour that is definitely worthwhile partaking. For those who have visited and lived in Spain, we can attest that the tapas are authentic and tasty. Great selection of wines. Great place to unwind with friends after a long day’s work!

This is the second time that we have visited this restaurant! We really enjoy the atmosphere and the food is great. We will definitely be going back!

I’ve eaten three times at Olé. Once inside, and twice delivery. The tortilla espanola is awesome, as are the patatas and chorizo. I recently ordered the huevos with patata and jamon and that was great as well. Really great new Spanish spot!

It was Meh. Not like Spain but we had simple tapas. The fried Potatoes were hot and cooked perfectly. Croqueta’s were good. Small. Slightly bland. We also had the Spanish omelet. Nothing special about it. Where’s the Sirachi? Ketchup?
The place is small but empty when we arrived. Later, another patron showed up alone. I think she was drunk. She was trying to hold a conversation across the room and she was slurring her speach.
I probably won’t go back. I really was not impressed.

This place is relatively new which is why it only has 10 reviews; do not let this turn you away from trying the restaurant. Let me first start off by saying Spain has my heart, seriously tapas are the best thing ever invented — thanks Spain. I resume to my regularly scheduled ramblings hubs and I stopped in on Sunday for brunch (I actually didn’t know they had brunch so I just got lucky) the location is perfect right smack where all the other mouth-​watering restaurants reside in the gables.
The restaurant is perfectly quaint, a good size and they offer some seating outside but best of all extremely authentic. The staff made me feel like I was back in Spain, they recommended the best house choices and were friendly — honestly I have zero complaints about the service in fact they even held the door open for me as I walked out — love, love, loved the staff.
As I mentioned the restaurant is pretty new so not much info is offered online so let me help you out. I did not have a single thing I did not like. NOT ONE SINGLE THING. So the brunch menu offered bottom less sangria + mimosas with a choice of salad or tapa + entrée dish. Hubs and I decided to try the white sangria (which I highly recommend over the mimosa) I personally enjoy white rather than red but dealers choice. Hubs ordered the Chorizo Al Diablo (flambé chorizo with spicy peppers & onions) its isn’t THAT spicy so don’t be alarmed — & I went with the Tortilla A La Navarra (potatoes, eggs, & onions) this is basically a tortilla española if you’ve ever had one. The tapas are good-​sized portions hubs and I shared and it was more than enough. Now on the my favorite part of the meal — the torrijas (Pullman French toast, with caramelized bananas & some kind of cream w/​marcona maple syrup) the syrup kinda taste like it has a hint of cinnamon & I did not want to stop eating — I was suppose to share buttttttt it was too good to share. Second meal was Huevos Euzkadi (baked eggs w/​chistorra, cheese, piparrada sauce with roasted herb potatoes) — this was loaded with flavors & the perfect balance to go with the French toast. Salty and Sweet — to sum it up I am thrilled we ended up here on a whim. Just because it is new do not let it turn you away, the food is worth it.

The food was good but very small tapas. There are some hit or misses but overall good. One of the reviews states about the music and they are totally right, after a couple of songs there is dead silence and they do nothing about it.

Nice Spanish Tapas Bar/​Restaurant. It is as though you have been transported to Barcelona, Spain. Wonderful selection of dishes and appetizer or tapas size.
The food we had was wonderful. And we had a variety of dishes and all in the tradition of Spain.
The Serrano ham was just wonderful and it was equally good as the Italian Prosciutto from Parma from Italy.
Instead of the typical appetizer, salad and main course, tapas are a wonderful alternative.

Delicious authentic Spanish food! Very affordable prices and great atmosphere. Great croquetas de bacalao and spinach btw. They also have a $ 14.95 lunch special menu that is always good.

This wonderful little restaurant just opened and it is GREAT! Lunch or dinner — amazing food & service.

This is truly great real Spanish food! Enhorabuena José Manuel. Is so good to have a place like this in the Gables. Bienvenido to the neighborhood!

Delicious Food; Very nice and relaxed atmosphere; The Owner: José, and the rest of his team extremely friendly and proper. I wish you all the success for many years to come!

Olé has good food and very good sangria but lacks atmosphere. The hostess was very awkward and should not be working at a restaurant. The music was being played through an iPad and when the screensaver comes on the music turns off, it was very frustrating as it was on and off during our entire meal.
There are a lot of very good tapas restaurants in Miami and if the owner does not do something to enhance the experience of his restaurant I don’t think Olé will be around very long. Again, the food was good but nothing spectacular. Overall the experience was not great.

Amazing food! Delicious, creative, and well-​priced!
If you are American English-​speaking you will also appreciate the innovative menu! Run to this restaurant. I’m putting it on my list of go-​to-​places.

New place. Had lentil soup and tapas. Gambas al ajillo had big tasty shrimp, others very, very good. Did not like them charging for bread! Desserts pricy for what we had. Would go back, heard paella was good.

Very disappointed with this place. The food was underwhelming. My Spanish Omelette was oily, flat and had sections of raw egg. Also they charge for bread, which is ridiculous. Will not be going back.

Delicious. Great new place. The Jamon Serrano was delicious not salty at all and very little fat. The sangria was amazing! You Have to try the red sangria. It’s a house specialty. We had the pulpo a la Parilla and it was delicious. We also had shrimp al ajillo and it was a serving of 5 shrimp which tasted amazing. We also had morcilla (which personally I do not eat) and my husband was okay with it (he likes it CRUDO! Eeek). We also had some bread with olive oil which was absolutely magnificent! All of these plates are tapa sizes so it’s perfect for a simple drink night. Definitely will come back:) great to see a new happening spot in the Gables! olé!
