Cafe Ole — Restaurant in New York

We thought we should give it a try because we were craving authentic Spanish food and because of the mixed reviews. What an extremely disappointing experience, the server we had was rude and unprofessional. The food was horrible, I've had much better Paella in other Latin restaurants and mind you, this is suppose to be food from Spain. The Paella was just yellow rice drenched in oil, it was so greasy that I gotten a stomach and heartburn afterwards, there was no taste (honestly waste of $55+). The grilled octopus was disappointing as well, maybe because we've had it really good at different restaurants but this was not up to our standard, it was soooo salty (also I never understood why they have somebody to cut it into pieces in front of the table, it is really unnecessary). The sangria was okay, not up to par compared to other restaurants. We ordered several appetizers and the only thing that was good and tasty was the mushrooms. Overall, it was an extreme disappointment and on top of that they added 22% to our bill (4 adults and 1 child). WHAT IN THE WORLD, even with parties of 10 or more, the most gratuity included is 20%. The service was horrible, they don't even deserve 20%. However, we always make sure to tip at least 20% but the fact that they automatically applied the 22% was disgraceful, again only for a table of only 4 adults and 1 child. It left a really bad taste in my mouth and we will not be...

Took my wife here for her birthday and she loved it. This is a very cozy place with a beautiful atmosphere, perfect for a date night or dinner for a special occasion.

The drinks are amazing, with just the perfect balance of flavor and alcohol while not being overpowering. I usually go for the Mango Mojito personally. My wife fancies the Long Island Iced Tea.

The food is spectacular. There's so much flavor in all the dishes and presentation is very professional. You're started off with a basket of soft buttered bread that is very delicious. One of my favorite entrees is the Lamb Chops. I've been to fancy French restaurants that offer Lamb Chops but Cafe Ole hands down does it way better with the meat cooked to perfection and extremely flavorful.

The staff here is very friendly and knowledgeable. They are available whenever you need them without being in the way as some places tend to be.

Bottom line, Cafe Ole is an amazing place to dine at. The ambiance is perfect for a romantic date, the drinks are top notch and the food is simply amazing. Definitely check...

I was in the middle of giving it 3 stars or 4 stars. The food is good, but not authentic. And the portion size is off for what you pay. Food was flavorful! And I mean it. It was delicious BUT no roots to Spain. I had to note that.

Again food is good.

The portion on some dishes are like this fine dining restaurants… but this is not fine dining. Not even close!…. But food taste good. And portions are off…$35 for sea bass and 3 peas…well being sarcastic here but wasn’t the biggest dish.

The sangria was fantastic. One of the best I had. Awesome!!!

The staff is friendly, welcoming, and attentive.

The restaurant was clean and deco was good as well.

Just fix the portion size, and add a little saffron and trust me this restaurant can be a...
