"Reservations were easy to make. However, I wish I had found this place sooner so that I could reserve a 7:30 time instead of 5:45. I heard they have a show sometime around 8:00, but we didn't get to watch it due to our reservation time. We were seated promptly in one of the cute booths. Our server was also quick to come to our table and explain the menu. My husband ordered the Ibèrico Old Fashioned. As our server brought the drink, he lit the cinnamon stick that was placed in the drink. We immediately smelled the sweet but smokey scent in the air. He enjoyed the drink very much. It was happy hour until 7:00pm so we decided to go with Tapas most of the night for two reasons. They were 50% off and this was we can try multiple items. Halibut & Shrimp Ceviche, Marinated Olives, Gambas Al Ajillo, Scallops A La Plancha, Albondigas Al Jeréz con Chorizo, Baked Empanada Duo, Braised Short Rib Coca, and the Seafood Paella "Marinera". We enjoyed all of the items minus the Braised Rib order. I think if we ordered it first, we would have finished it. But it was one of the last things to be ordered and I felt it lacked flavor compared to everything else I tried. Because I wanted to save room for the paella, I did not finish it. My husband and I do not have big appetites to the portions of the Tapas along with the paella were perfect for us. We left content for the rest of the night. Lastly, our reservation was for 5:45. We arrived a few minutes early but did not have to wait. I am not sure if there is a time limit on your reservation however we stayed for about 2 hours and never felt rushed. Even as it neared the show time and they got busier. I really appreciate that because I was able to try so many things in the menu. With that being said, we can't wait to come back and try more Old Fashioned's and food."
"Café Sevilla describing themselves a Spanish restaurant should fall in the category of cultural appropriation if anything they are span-ish. Probably opened by someone who once went to Spain, tried the food liked it and decided to make a terrible version of it. The food was actually terrible. The dates with bacon were burnt, so we're the salchichas who were somehow cold and tasteless at the same time. The shrimp was awful, couldnt even eat it. The croquetas were not croquetas but just fried cheese balls and the meatballs taste like flour. I was sooo disappointed. We were hungry and in the mood for Spanish food ( from Spain) I barely eat anything, had to eat dinner when I arrived home, and the little I eat, left a bad taste in my mouth, physically and emotionally. To top it all, the bill was expensive and we were charged for the metal straws, which we then took home."
"From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a smile. The waitress and everyone who assisted us were very friendly. The food was delicious. We sure will be returning to celebrate another birthday. I love that I was able to take the cake for my friend. Loved the atmosphere of the employees. I recommend all of these in the pictures."
"Loved the food and music. We were able to share a 5 course meal between the three of us. 5 tapas basically. Good portions and tasty. Will be back again for the live music and drinks."
"My husband and I attended the Flamenco show on 7/29/23 (the show was wonderful). The food was good however the carafe of sangria was way too sweet - almost like syrup. Also, after the show we noticed a friend sitting at a nearby table and walked over to say hello and when we turned around our belongings had been moved to a nearby booth in order to fold up and put away our table. After spending over $200 we felt like we were being rushed out and this was a disappointing end to an otherwise (overall) enjoyable experience."
