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!!

The Brio is back. There was a considerable degradation in service and food quality during the pandemic but the last few visits have shown a return to their pre-pandemic standards on both counts. Our entrees were excellent and our server, Brie, was both professional and very attentive to our needs. We will be looking forward to her service on our visits next year.

We were welcomed the minute we came in the door. Everyone was friendly and accommodated my request for a table change ( I wanted near the front). Our waiter was attentive. The chef’s specials were delicious. I had scallops and a squash risotto. My husband had fresh seafood and vegetable pasta. Both portions were generous. The wine selections were excellent. We will definitely go back again.

wonderful evening-- the 7 of us were in a separate room which made it very nice. Food was excellent--had salmon and it was done just to my liking. Desserts were wonderful--especially the bread pudding. Our waitress was exceptional, handling our group--didn't miss anything, very attentive. Lovely evening
