Tapas 51 - Fort Mill

I was completely dissatisfied with this experience and I have Open Table to thank for making for a ruined valentines dinner with my girlfriend. I made reservations about a week ahead of the holiday only to discover in my e-mail on Valentines day that the reservations were cancelled by Open Table because their relationship with Tappa's 51 was cancelled. I called the restaurant at the number provided and got a notice the number was discontinued. I am currently not very happy with Open Table

The food here has been wonderful both times we've dined here. Interesting flavors and flawless execution. We've had great service both times, nicely timing the courses and explaining the dishes. The only negative both times was the noise level. There are lots of hard surfaces and when the place is full it gets very loud. Not a place for a quiet, intimate dinner. The music is turned up loud as well, contributing to the overall level. Their outside space looks fun and we look forward to trying it out in warmer weather.

Our table wasn't available when we arrived. The hostess offered to seat us at the bar and comp us each a glass of wine for our wait. She was very apologetic and we were fine waiting a bit. We had the guacamole appetizer (delicious! , chorizo Brussels sprouts (also delicious! , lamb fried rice (very spicy and yummy , and a skewered chicken dish (sauce on top of chicken wasn't our favorite, but not a bad dish . All of it was spicy and really good. We got an apple dessert that was also very good. Not very sweet which was fine with us. Pretty expensive overall and our waitress didn't seem to be having a great evening, but we had a lovely meal.

Delicious! Brisket tacos were outstanding, glazed carrots were as well. Great meal!

Tapas is awesome. The food is exceptional. You must try the Beat Bobby Flay empanadas. They will melt in your mouth. Yes melt. An empanada.
