I love the refreshing ensalada mista at lunch; a nice salad with tuna on top of it! The service is superb, and as O said before: try their tinto de verano con Blanca-the best refreshing drink in this hot and sexy town! Ok, having lunch or dinner in the city is more upscale and wonderful with all it's beautiful buildings, but this place is just good for what is is and very nice for budgetary reasons too ;-)

They sat us upstairs because we wanted Tapas vs. dinner. Dinner menu shows a dish cost 20 plus euros, Tapas range between 3 euro to 15 euro and the portion is huge. I cannot eat Spanish food in San Francisco - I say that but I do on occasion go out to eat in San Francisco's Spanish restaurant, but the truth of the matter is - French and Spanish food are way overpriced in San Francisco. Tapas are cheap and good in Spain and the freshness of the food is always night and day comparing to what they serve up in California (I know that I'm generalizing but it's largely true). The burrata course is amazing. Buffalo milk is different than cow milk. Their version of burrata is fresh buffalo milk. Taste delicious. Ceviche is different than Mexico's but this one I could do without. It's a little acidic but I think if you are into healthy food, this is a good option. The dried tuna salad is amazing. The tuna reminded me the same kind of method of curing as I had seen in Norway. It's almost a cross between jerk and cured fish. Slightly tougher than what you'd see in ahi tuna, once you get over the texture then you can enjoy this salad that is filled with watercress and edible flowers. I liked it a lot. Definitely something you'd see in Scandinavian countries. The cheese course is always a crowd pleaser and the octopus, for that I'm upping the rating to a 5. Octopus - let me pause and explain, is slightly charred, and it is super tender inside. It's served on a bed of quinoa and sliced super thin veggies. It's beyond delicious. The last time I had octopus this good was in Santorini, Greece, where it was served on a bed of local feva bean paste. Definitely do not forget to order this. Finally, Cod dish - the Cod is slightly salted and there are three large pieces which is more than an entree size. The fish is very tender and oily, and very fresh. A stand out. It's within 2 minute walk from the hotel AC Marriott, and it's a pleasant dining experience. Good food. Excellent service.

Very bad service. We ask for a table outside at 14:30, they tell us that there are 9 people waiting…read morefor a table and they put us on the list. We wait for an hour with people who have glasses of water and a finished coffee from an hour ago on the table. With 8 tables waiting no one tells them to get up and leave. At 15:40 they tell us that the kitchen closes at 16:00 and that there are tables inside (where they almost don't serve you, you have to go to the bar to order). I think they could have told us that an hour earlier. In the end we left without eating. If you want to spend the whole afternoon with a glass of water on the table, this is the ideal place, nobody is going to tell you anything.

Love this place so much that I came here three times during my 2.5 day visit in Seville. Each tapa…read moreis about 2 Euro. 1/2 means 2 tapas, and a plate is about 4 tapas. Not sure if that's a common thing in Spain, but you can sit anywhere indoor even there's a waiting list for outdoor. If you really want to sit outdoor for dinner, I recommend going at 8 or even earlier and avoid Friday night. It's just so busy everyday. The waiters are very friendly even they don't really speak English, but they have English menu, so that's fine. I love the baby squid, grilled mushroom, and pork cheek. (Sadly they didn't have pork cheek the second day I went) Snail and the tomato soup is good too. The pork chop is a bit dry. Overall, it's an amazing food place with super low price. I highly recommend this place, and I'll definitely come back if I happen to be in town again!

Where do I begin? Let's talk about the ambience. To call this place rustic would probably capture…read moreit best, it's really probably more like a cafeteria or a school room at a very old school. Tables perhaps a bit close together, not terribly comfortable. Loud, busy. As far as the service, it was our impression that our waiter was the only person serving the 30 or so tables in their dining room. Suffice it to say the service was not fast and not good. Inexplicably, every time we ordered a Coke we were asked if we wanted a Coke Zero. If I wanted a Coke Zero I would have said the words Coke Zero. Even when I asked for another Coke, he again asked "Coke Zero?" It took next to forever to get the check, and forever to get a cappuccino. At one point I took it upon myself to point the waiter to a table behind us that had been desperately attempting to get his attention. This was all not good. As to the food. First, our fault for not knowing what tataki meant. We did not expect to receive salmon that was seared on the outside and raw on the inside. So that one is on us, although we also think the meal came tepid at best. The lamb on couscous was dry and tough. The pork cheek stew was actually pretty good if a bit gluey. The calamari was good. The sushi as they called it was average. What they called the tiramisu was more like a pudding with some liqueur and chocolate on the top, and a little bit of breadish stuff in the bottom. Not my idea of tiramisu, and probably not yours either. So we could not get too excited about these various dishes. But what was particularly frustrating and bizarre was that two people sitting across from us ordered food that looked absolutely delicious. So we got to sit there wondering why we didn't order what they ordered. They ordered a large beef dish with potatoes which is on the menu, and we think they ordered a large octopus meal although we are not sure. Everything they had looked better than anything we had. So it may be that we somehow just picked the wrong items. So it was a strangely frustrating meal. This place has good reviews and we expected good tasting food. Unfortunately it did not work out that way, and the ambience and service were negative contributing factors. I can't entirely write this place off, only because the food other diners received actually looked very good. But I don't think I would go there again.

The best food I had in all of Seville.. stopped by this place for late dinner during my recent trip…read moreto Seville and this place did not disappoint. We ordered their roasted lamb with cous cous, garlic shrimp croquetta (that was the croquetta of the day), pork cheek stew with potato purée and the chocolate panna cotta for dessert. We also ordered their sangria and tinto de verano. Every dish we ordered was AMAZING - tasty flavorful well seasoned melt in your mouth meat bursting with flavors. We devoured every bite and it was hard to pick a favorite. Both the lamb and pork dishes were 11/10. Not just the taste but the presentation of every tapa was fantastic. Their drinks were also great. The dessert was to die for. This place is super packed during peak dinner hours and there is barely any room to stand. Since we walked in around 11pm, we got a seat and were well taken care of all thru the night. Also noticed alot of veggie options on the menu which was great. Service was awesome ambience is chic. I am certain I am going to crave their tapas once I am back home. Highly highly recommend this place when in Seville.

I wanted to like this place, but the food I had was really sub-par…read more I was on my own and ordered cone of fried fish with aioli, pork sirloin with whiskey and grilled vegetables with pepper emulsion. They now have an English menu, so everything was clear (or so I thought) especially since both of the waiters on duty didn't speak much English. (I arrived at 1:20 and one of them tried to tell me they wouldn't open until 10 minutes later - he kept on gesturing a cross with his hands and I asked '10 minutes more?' and he shook his head but eventually I guessed it) The fried fish was NOT fish - I was expecting something like fried sardine or fish fillet, but no, the texture resembled Asian fish balls... Soooooo weird. They were supposed to be served in a cone, but only a few pieces were, the rest were on a bed of lettuce and that made them all soggy. Ewwww. The pork sirloin looked promising - until I bit into a thicker piece that was undercooked, and it's pork... I wanted to tell them but since their English was so bad I just didn't bother. The grilled veg was just normal grilled veg - kind of flavourless but I needed some veg after so many days of mainly meaty tapas. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this place... although the menu looks promising and the decor etc is nice. The waiters were helpful but the fact that they can't even understand basic English makes it hard for people who don't speak Spanish.
