Wanted to try something new and this was it! Everything from the butternut squash ravioli to the house salad, to the vegetable tarrine, to the key lime pie with raspberry sauce was absolutley wonderful! Cannot say enough about this restaurant! It is a must if you are in or around Bozeman!

In New York City I loved finding a little tapas restaurant nestled between buildings on a side street. Over the Tapas has that "tucked in " feeling on a side street in Bozeman. The menu and wine list is smaller, but not small on taste or service. The soups were delightful, the lamb dishes interestingly spiced, and the friendly staff... More

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

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!

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

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...

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

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.
