Cafe Seville

"Yes. It’s been a long time since my last visit and I can’t believe I forgot about this place. Same waiter for over 20 years. Superb food. A hidden gem. Not on open table. A locals place. I recognize people from many years ago. Spanish flare. We started with the octopus. Perfect. She had osso buco. I have the yellowtail snapper. Both excellent. Snapper was fresh and thick. Unlike the thin snapper I’ve had lately around town. Loved it all Local reviews by a local for over 50 years. Just the stuff not the fluff"

"I was deeply disappointed with everything. Their so called “Spanish” isn’t authentic. I have been to Spain many times and I frequently go to Spanish places in South Florida, I’m also Latin so I know about this type of food. As an appetizer we ordered their “Entremés Sevillano” which was a cold platter of Spanish ham, chorizo and cheese with olives not appealing at all, the ham and chorizo were old, not properly cut and overpriced for the poor quality and taste. We also ordered two of their soups, lentils and beans, they both lacked flavor, were cold and did not seem fresh, in other words, they were re-heated. For the main courses, we had the duck in cranberry sauce and a veal of ternera, they were poorly accompanied with steamed vegetables that seemed taken out straight from a Walmart cheap bag of veggies and the mash potatoes were gluey and unappetizing. The sangria we had was ok; We didn’t make it to dessert. The place is old, not clean (dust everywhere, specially lamps) and this makes one wonder how things are back in the kitchen. Just by looking at it from the outside, it isn’t appealing or tempting. There are far better places and with much better prices. Like Eatapas (which has a live guitar and flamenco show) or Bodega Santiago."

"How have I lived here so long without discovering this gem of a restaurant within a stone’s throw from the Intracoastal and beach!?! Well, we know it now, and you should, too! I left a message for a birthday dinner for two, and imagine my surprise when Joey, the owner, called back personally! We were greeted by him as well when we arrived, and were treated like family, or more like the Royal Family. The food was outstanding…yellow-tail snapper with artichokes and tomatoes, corvina with shrimp, sherry and saffron, a delightful Spanish tapa of traditional meat, cheese and olives, and a heavenly creme brûlée to end this delicious meal. The cuisine is high quality, fresh, cooked to order, and served piping hot! The service was outstanding, and Joey the owner checked in on everyone as though he had cooked for us at home. Make reservations! This place is filled with devoted locals and tourists, alike. Located at the foot of the drawbridge, in a shopping strip, you will find plenty of parking. I can’t wait to go back! Oh, and the decor is lovely, reminding me of favorite spots in Barcelona! Gracias, Cafe Seville!"

"This place is amazing! The food was excellent and the service was unbelievably amazing!! They really took care of us and we had such a special time! Highly recommend!"
