"Tapas and it's Origin"
This style of eating originated in Sherry, Spain. The spirit of eating tapas is to eat by whim, free from rules or schedules. Just like a well considered meal, tapas presents a variety of tastes and textures and they compliment each other. They are served in small portions and are meant for immediate gratification. You can select different categories to create a delicious and diverse experience. Share with your friends a variety of dishes or order individually by courses.The original tapa was a slice of ham or sausage placed over the mouth of a wineglass and served compliments of the house. Tapa means to "Cover" in Spanish; thus the origin of Tapa. Since the meats were salty, they produced thirst, and smart tavern owners embraced the Tapas as a means to increase their wine sales. As the custom grew, so did the selection of Tapas. Today they come in hundreds of varieties. Here at O!O's we have captured the spirit of Tapas. Fresh exquisitely presented and highly creative small plates. We hope we have adopted the camaraderie, spontaneity and good times that are so much a part of the Tapas tradition in Spain.
