Really good. I own a restaurant in Melbourne and recently visited Ole for lunch. Well executed food, good service. Nice location. Only probs were no bread for a mysterious half hour, c'mon guys just bake or buy more! Also my credit card was double charged, minor stuff though, I will be back!

Food was overpriced- $19 for 4 prawns and it was nothing special- just 4 prawns BBQ cooked. Waiter was not very friendly. Waited 1 hour to get our meals. Positive was the meat balls were nice. Not the tapas you get in Spain though thats for sure.

I recently went to this restaurant on the weekend and was very impressed. I have been to Spain 4 times and also been to the trendy Spanish Tapas restaurants in Melbourne and Sydney and can say Granada wins hands down. The service was great and the meal sizes were fantastic and would recommend anyone to visit this restaurant. I just wish there was one in Sydney now.

Sat at the train for 2 hours and a had a lovely evening sipping on sangria and sampling most of the tapas. The food was hot and fresh, the service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself was clean, fun and atmospheric. My only word of advice is beware of the Tue 2-4-1 deal! If you get 10 plates, they take the 5 cheapest plates off the bill, not necessarily the items of equal value. Oh and desserts aren't included in the offer either.

Overall a delightful experience, though it turned out a bit more expensive than I anticipated so I won't be making it a regular jaunt.

Go to Granada restaurant if you want to be judged by the owners and then insulted by the wait staff. I had previously been to Granada a couple of times and invited some colleagues to drop in after a work function. I ordered some cocktails and tapas and after we sat down we were interrupted by the wait staff who told us that we had to pay upfront before receiving any food or drinks. When I asked if they didn’t believe we would pay or what their reasons were for this treatment the wait staff said it was the owners decision. Then the owner came over and when I asked if the restaurant had changed their process with ordering food she became extremely embarrassed and back peddled and blamed the wait staff for the whole incident. I love eating out in Brisbane and have never been treated like this by any establishment, be it high end dining or in a more relaxed environment. Do not go to this restaurant!

We ate dinner at Ole on Tuesday night in December 2011, as a family with 4 adults and a child, it was below par for many of the standard expectations of food service. The restaurant was half full with 3 staff members.

Disappointments : We found a hair in the food. For $17 sea-food dish I received 3 scallops in a plate, no more, no less. Mussels were over cooked. The paella for 2 people, fed 1 person. There was no bread on the menu, so we asked if there was, we received a microwave white loaf which cost us $9. Sangria was no real Sangria, it seemed more like a packet mix version. The waiter brought us the wrong meals. As we finished our water we had to ask consistently for our glasses to be refilled.

Good points - Paella did taste very good. The olive oil bottles on the tables were good. The food presentation was good. Nice setting in the southbank scene.

Even though the setting was nice, the presentation of food was nice, the restaurant looked nice, I would not eat there again as the quality of the food, the small portions and the price of the food and the poor service simply turned us away.
