“Such a gem.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2013

I am so happy that tapas of this quality are available in little Bozeman, MT. It's so fun to go with a small group and try everything. There is usually a great duck special. The wine list is very thoughtful with less expensive options that are great. The servers will help navigate the choices and really seem like they enjoy... More

“Great Variety and Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2013

This place was so interesting! There wasn't one thing we ordered that we didn't ooo and aaahh over. Bacon wrapped dates are a MUST if you go! The waitresses were very friendly and seemed to actually enjoy their jobs. The whole atmosphere was inviting and energetic. I would give a 5, but they were out of a couple things that... More

We're so happy you found us and enjoyed your visit. We apologize that you weren't able to taste some items you were deliberating over! Everything is home-made and unfortunately, from time to time, we don't make enough for how much we end up selling that evening. Hopefully you can try those items when you come back! Thank you for your... More

“My favorite in Bozeman”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2013

I try to visit Over the Tapas any time I'm in Bozeman. Took my family, which included three teenagers, to lunch there. It was very busy but they put a high top table together for us. We ordered lots of different small plates and a few sandwiches. I made fun of my daughter for getting the grilled cheese with bacon... More

“Yes, Spanish Tapas in MT”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2013

Who knew that in the wilds of Montana there were good tapas? We found Over the Tapas on a cute, boutique-y side street in Bozeman. They had a wide variety of veggie, seafood, meat tapas both warm and cold. They were comparable to good tapas restaurants we have near us in the Bay Area south of San Francisco. Friendly competent...

“Over the top service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2013

We tried this once a while back and really enjoyed the variety of dishes and the "tasting menu". Some dishes we liked and others not some much, but that was part of the fun. We went back this last weekend without a reservation and found them very busy and unable to seat us. As we walked back down the block,... More

“Bacon Wrapped Dates!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2013

Awesome place, nice atmosphere, great sangria. Very friendly staff and good service. Sometimes it gets pretty busy and getting a table can be tricky, best to call ahead. GET THE BACON WRAPPED DATES! They are to die for.

I have never been to a Tapas before but this place was fantastic! The staff was sooo nice! I highly recommend the bacon wrapped dates! I would go back just for them! You really cannot go wrong with anything on the menu though.

“WARNING!! DO NOT EAT HERE! Over the Tapas in PRICE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2013

Worst experience!! Save your time and money and go anywhere else. The food is not worth the price... 25$ for a 1 once steak and 1 piece of shrimp.. 13$ dollars for a piece of cheese and bread... wow... the servers are very nice because they make 400+ a night.. I was served a burnt piece of steak with a... More

Our Meat Trio that night included 9 ounces of meat., not the amount you mentioned. Our prices are representative of the quality as well as the quantity of our products. We buy/raise the highest quality meats we think our customer base can support. However, we do apologize that your first piece of steak was overcooked. That is obviously not acceptable.... More
