    Amazing food! I cannot wait to come back, I’m in love. Everything we had was so so so so great. I would recommend any of the meatball options, lamb chops, the “Tierra” paella, and the croquettes. Service left a bit to be desired - they were slow to come back for more food, any asks, and the check at the end - but the food made up for that completely!

    I love going to Tapas On Main. It’s a place where I usually feel very comfortable sitting at the bar, by myself for lunch. The food is always good. I got their salmon tartare on this visit. Beautifully presented, tasty, slightly salty chips, but that’s expected. And very filling! The only thing that was lacking this visit was the bar staff, they were chopping fruit at the end of the bar, about five of them, and they never noticed I was even sitting there waiting to be served. I sat for about a minute.

    Great food and good location for having brunch and lunch in Bethlehem downtown. My friend recommended and we all met here on sunny days. Servers were decent but not great. Love there fries, and various mashroom, potatoes, and pita chips vegetarian options. I would recommend to try this place if you are local or visiting town.

    Delicious food.I was pleasantly surprised to find out that you can sit in any of the 3 restaurants and order food from the other 2.Great idea! All the 3 menus are mouth watering and it was really hard for me to pick one option.And I must say I am a very picky person.

    It was ok! The food was generally delicious but the corn cake was definitely not a “cake” and not a share size. The serve was a little bit not in the situation through the whole meal. But the empanadas were really good.

    Very cute spot aesthetically. Great place to have drinks, cheese, meats and fries but I can tell the main platters are lacking flavor. We got the seafood paella and honestly I found it offensive. The rice was hard, it tasted like adobo was dumped into this and steak was overcooked (also just don’t put steak in paella), there were a couple hard white things the size of rice so I’m glad I didn’t die (over dramatic-but for 30 dollars it killed the vibes)…maybe these were from the clams or something but were a choking hazard but as a surf and turf I’ll let it slide…It was overpriced for the quality of the seafood and the taste. I totally maxed out sodium intake. If you ever had anything close to paella before and like it, I would skip this. It was like cheap frozen stir fry from a bag but make it Spanish. All in all: the food came promptly, the tapas were yummy and sangria flight was a treat (you’ve got to try the fall specials!) I’d go back for the ambiance and drinks and maybe some tapas. Our server was not very enthusiastic. And when it came time to pay he just stared off into the distance as we looked back…we all have bad days though. But a Monday at 5pm with only four other parties I feel like service should have been more prompt. Total for two people: 2 tapas, pick-3 sangria flight and paella came to around $65 dollars.

    On the way back from a viewing, we stopped here for a bite to eat. Walked in saw the staff walking around while we stood there and waited 30 minutes to be seated. It was not until we walked over to the bar tender who stood about 2 feet from us, all the while we stood there. When we asked her is we should just go and seat ourselves, she replied, “ I don’t know, there is usually a girl there who seats people, I guess she went to the bathroom or something”. Then she promptly walked back to chat flirtatiously with a gentleman sitting in the middle of the bar. About 10 minutes later a young man came over and said has no one seen you yet? To which we replied no. He then brought us to a table and told us someone would be over shortly. That shortly was another 11 minutes of waiting. All this while there were only 2 other tables with guests in the entire place. I curious to see if the food was any better than the service , but sadly it was not. More to come!

    Food was amazing, very flavorful and presented so nicely! Location is very convenient and ambiance of the restaurant is great as well.

    Love that you can order from both Tapas and Cachette's menus. Every bite was delicious! Don't miss the pork meatballs or the blue cheese stuffed bacon-wrapped dates!

    I went to Tapas on main for mother's day and I've had a very poor experience with the staff. I tried scheduling a reservation three times the past week to be told the system was down, and the third time I called and finally made a reservation it wasnt in the system when I got here, on mothers day, but was told there was seating available so I was lied to when I was told the place was fully booked. There weren't enough menus, silverware, or water at the table for my party. The food came at odd intervals with a soup and main entree coming in at the same time. The soup itself had to be returned for too much flower. Also, I ordered potatos with my steak and got fries instead. When I asked David, the general manager, about all of this he was very dismissive and had a so what attitude. Saying that the fries were in fact the potatoes I had ordered with my meal. All in all I will advise anyone I meet not to come here. I have a sincere lack in David's abilities. I'd leave less stars of I could, very disappointing.

    Food was fantastic and great happy hour. Largest selection of sangria I've ever seen. Only got 4 stars because the was only one bartender and a week dressed manager that didn't help her

    Environment good, service okay. Server seems like a newbie, I asked her for recommendations, couldn’t give me anything. Food was bad, especially the crepe, way too thick.

    It was a great meal, fine service, and cozy atmosphere. Definitely enjoyed the evening here. Late Sunday night was slow, so we got real attention and care.

    Since we make and serve tapas at our business we wanted to try someone else’s tapas. They have a good variety of options to choose from and even have a brunch menu on the weekends. Our server was pleasant but could have been more attentive. Lots of seating options inside and out. We sat outside since it was such a beautiful day.

    We had really good authentic tapas and dessert. Imported high quality ingredients from Spain make the difference! The drinks were awesome and the service was great too. Highly recommend!
