Excelente lugar.... Muy buena cocina... poca variedad pero bien lograda. El servicio espectacular. Recomiendo que incluyan los garbanzos fritos como plato y no solo como entrante o tapa. Buena carta de vinos.

Nice decor, good for tapas and drinks. Very limited menu, other than paella just five main entree which in my opinion are very over priced for what you get serve. Churrasco was small and served with some ships style potatoes at almost $40. The Solomillo was served without any sides at $58. They have many potentials, but the locals it are not the best choice.

It was our first time dining here. The food was good, but nothing spectacular. A few of us had the churrasco and it was NOT 10 oz. We decided to share and it was barely enough. The tortilla española was very good! Our waitress was very attentive. Having live music, although nice for the ambiance was way too loud. There was no way to carry a conversation with others in our party without unless you shout. We ended up getting up and dancing before the band left , which was a nice way to end our Saturday evening!

The sangria and food were not good at all. Sangria was flavorless and the paella was served with goopy, sticky rice. The seafood didn't taste like anything and all 4 of us were highly disappointed.
Enjoy
Very sorry, but must leave an honest review. Sparing details: Very unfortunately the level of food and service is at a very low professional standard and this has been happening for awhile. Do not recommend.
Not sure if the restaurant or Open Table screwed up but we were surprised when we arrived to find a pre fixe only menu that wasn't mentioned on Open Table or the restaurant's website. The pre fixe menu looked great but didn't suit everyone in our party so we wouldn't have booked here if we knew that was the case. We were confused, staff was confused, and we were going to leave until management decided to do the right thing and open up the regular menu in addition to the pre fixe. Once that was settled we had a lovely time. Food and drinks were delicious, service was great, and the live music was excellent for a NYE dinner.
Unfortunately, Bodega Ole has lost much of its charm, especially the food. The tapas were almost uniformly bland, outside of the octopus/pulpo. The main dishes had some improvement but still would not recommend. Sounds like they have new ownership - hopefully they turn it around, the place was practically empty the day after Christmas (should be full).

Spanish restaurant where nobody is Spanish. Not even the owners. I ordered cod that was on the menu, but these people have no idea what cod is, and they served me a fish that I don't know what it was. Also, I asked for Juengling beer and there wasn't any, so a manager at the place suggested a beer called 1906, which they charged me for $22 each. That's an assault.
A very nice experience with friends visiting from out of town. It was a very slow night for the restaurant and we received awesome service from our waitress and the staff at Bodega Ole. This is not our first time here and they always do a great job. We had Churrasco, Spanish meatballs, and chicken. All were cooked and flavored perfectly. The drinks were well made and enjoyable.
Best best best Spanish cuisine with excellent service and exuberant live music. Most outstanding paella we've ever had outside of Spain. The Sangria is so authentic, delicious, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend and cannot wait to return!!
Service was very good. Ambiance and food were average. I had the seafood paella a little on the fishy side and too salty. If we go back I'd pick another dish. There was a 4 piece band which made it a little difficult to have a conversation - get a table towards the back if you're worried about the noise. The band was good and entertaining.

This place is so special! The authentic Spanish cuisine, atmosphere, and live entertainment made it a unique experience. Joanna, our server, was very helpful in guiding us through the menu to make our selections absolutely delightful!

We really like this place and this review does not truly reflect that. It's always been an off the beaten path favorite for us. The music was great, but the wine by the glass was very stingy and the sangria didn't have much fruit. The seafood paella should have had more seafood and took longer than 45 minutes. It was delicious, but definitely not worth the wait. Overall, this time was not our best experience there.

We enjoyed a tapas selection of meats, cheeses, fruit and potatoes. All very good and nicely arranged. A guitar player added to the ambience. Definitely one of our favorite local restaurants. The dessert churros are so delicious- save room for them.
Great service, but food was unfortunately underwhelming. Tapas were just mediocre, although some plates (Croquetas) were better than others. Although we were given the option, which we enthusiastically chose, for our seafood paella to have the traditional “Socarrat” (crispy, toasted rice) at the bottom of the pan, it was not evident- at best, there was some soggy rice stuck to one part of the pan, which wasn't crispy in the least. In fact, the paella's consistency and contents had an overall boiled texture that wasn't too appealing. The Bacalao was good, but the Jamon Iberico loin was overwhelmingly smoky to my palate (too much smoked paprika?), and lacked the delicate, nutty flavor notes that I was expecting. Maybe it's best served paper thin, and not in the big chunks that were offered for this entree? The piece I sampled was also very tough, although other pieces on the plate were apparently more tender. Other than the food, we enjoyed the friendly service and live music, so overall it wasn't a bad experience, but we were anticipating better flavors.
