Pork belly (top left) and MEDITERRANEAN HUMMUS (left) and avocado dip (middle) and croquettes (right)
Candace W.

Came here recently for their generous happy hour deal and was not impressed. The chips that came with the avocado dip were all stale. The hummus was bland and the pita that came with it was barely warm. The pork belly looked more like bacon and was cooked too long, extremely dry instead of the juicy pork belly one normally finds at restaurants. The croquettes were fine at least and our server was nice. The patio area wasn't very clean and cluttered with all sorts of decor like cheap plastic flowers falling off the window panes and inflatables. Overall: the happy hour is cheap here because the food is not good. I would not come back or recommend to anyone else.

It wasn't worth the $25 entry fee after we simply walked in, went downstairs, & sat ourselves at a table that just so happen to be available. It was advertised as a "dance party", but it was in a tiny hole in the wall hookak/bar area. It had thee tiniest "dance floor" that barely accommodated a handful of folks line dancing without stopping to avoid a collision. I had to ask if we were in the right space & we even went back upstairs to double check. This might be better as a walk in taco Tuesday or happy hour vibe, but leave the themed events to other establishments. The waitress & crowd was cool, but otherwise this experience was just "ok." If you insist, at least decorate the area & have an on theme menu. Otw out we noticed a Valentine day photo opp, but ATL yall need to do better & stop tryna milk people just because it's a holiday.

Avocado toast, scrambled eggs, and espresso martini

Writing this review after my first time experience at Sebastian Pintxos and I am VERY pleased! Our waiter, Carlos, was absolutely amazing. His recommendations were spot on, he was very attentive, and personable. We enjoyed every second of our visit and will be back. I got the avocado toast and scrambled eggs, 10/10. For drinks we had espresso martinis (great), lychee martini, and Hugo spritz. We enjoyed all of them. The service team were 10/10 across the board, and it was a busy day! Update: we ended up staying for 4 hours (for the duration of the brunch) and had an amazing time. We started off on the patio and moved inside to the bar. The bartender was amazing, but I would like to reiterate that our amazing experience was due to our initial waiter, Carlos. There was a moment where he was speaking to us (very briefly) and he was called away and never came back. Although, I do understand the intensity of the busy environment, I felt that took away from our patron experience. I would like to end the review with reiterating that our great experience was due to the great customer service. While I do still recommend this space, I would hope that in the future I wasn't made to feel as having a personal connection with the staff is an inconvenience.

The food was actually really good but Cinco de Mayo is not their strong suit. They weren't that prepared for the crowds. We were a party of 5 and we were told the wait time to be seated was 35 minutes, we were sat after about 50 minutes of waiting. The service was attentive however just slow. We ordered our margaritas first and received them an hour and a half later. Our appetizers came out and all of our food did too before the drinks did. We also ordered an additional avocado dip which never came out. The avocado dip however was very tasty. It's the same taste of guacamole but the consistency is much creamier. I also had the beef empanada and steak taco which were both very flavorful. I also recommend the guava margarita. It was very loud in there which I believe was due to the holiday/DJ.

This was a yummy experience. The food was very well crafted. I could see coming here for a cute date. The DJ was awesome, they had a featured DJ that night and she was very entertaining. I've heard this is a good social spot but the way the layout of the restaurant is I'm not exactly sure how. It didn't feel like there was enough standing room to just hang out.

BASQUE OCTOPUS GF

I tried this spot recently with my friend. The service was about 3.5 stars but food 3 stars. My stomach was not feeling well that day so we only ordered two tapas and three sides. The flavors were OK. I tried the sautéed shrimp. The meat tasted fresh, the broth went well with the shrimp. But I do not understand why this "sautéed" stuff was served with lots of broth, and tasted like it was poached in broth. Moreover, the shrimp was just slightly bigger than the Publix white shrimp but cost $16 for four! ... I was allergic to octopus so I did not try the other dish. My friend thought this sour-ish dish was interesting, as she neither had octopus with artichoke, nor with the cajun seasoning. For the sides, we got the rice for $7, pico de gallo for $5 and pita for $1. The rice seemed to be cooked with coconut milk, though the flavor of coconut is very subtle. The pico de gallo was disappointing: not only was it extremely tiny but it lacked cucumbers and jalapenos (there was, however, red chili flakes). The pita weighed about 74g (2.6oz) and had some whole wheat. Looks like something store-bought. The server was very unfamiliar with the menu. Worse, no one in the restaurant reminded me of dishes that use octopus, squid, calamari, etc. which I am allergic to. Besides, the menu was very "concise"; for example no meat or cheese choices were listed for the charcuterie platter.

First time visiting Sebastian before a show at the Fox. It's on Juniper and I walked over from the Fox parking so I did not notice the parking situation. When I arrived I was greeted by the host who sat me even though my friend's reservation was not found and I was the first of four to arrive. It happened to be Taco Tuesday and by the time everyone arrived we had ordered a lot of food and drinks. I had the dragon fruit lemonade me and some of the other gals had dragonfruit margaritas. We were told they make their own dragonfruit syrup and it was so good. For dinner we split the avocado dip, croquettes, Brussels sprouts and papayas fritas. I had chicken tacos as well. Everything was so good and came out warm. The area had music playing and soccer matches on the TVs. Once we finished it was off to the Fox. It is about a ten minute walk so keep that in mind if you are going before a show. I will be back.

FUN! Vibrant! Delicious food and festive holiday-joint! I was SO pleasantly surprised and impressed with Sebastian Pintxos Bar!! I had no expectations going in, and had never heard of the spot. Upon entering, eating engulfed me in a wonderful winter Wonderland of Christmas decor. We were hosting a Work dinner/happy hour here, and to my surprise (given the designation of being a "bar"), the footprint of the restaurant is vast and highly conducive to a group meal. The food was extremely delicious. I would go back just to have some of that! We were able to get a little bit of everything, but I especially loved what I think was a chimichurri skirt steak! The service was so excellent and accommodating. We had a lot of moving pieces with our large party, and they were happy to be flexible our wonderful server then generously spent a good bit of time taking group photos of us! Overall, I loved this experience, I hope to go back soon, and I highly recommend this place for a group/work event location! Especially in the winter with the festive decor!

PINTXOS PARTY AT SEBASTIAN PINTXOS BAR | we stopped in for the tapas and sangria for my friend's birthday and left with a full-on flamenco dancing experience! From beginning to end, the performance, the presentation and the vibes are 100! We started with the tableside sangria cart, which you can build from start to finish - whether you want red or white sangria and what toppings you would like. Definitely a nice touch. We sipped on our sangria while watching the flamenco dancer performing. We also tried some cocktails - the butterfly pea & lavender Negroni was a beautiful gin cocktail, a gorgeous purple and also tasty. The blackberry lemongrass espresso martini was also a fun show - the bartender torches the espresso beans right before your eyes before topping the cocktail with them. Next, tapas! We loved EVERYTHING, from the fresh oysters and hamachi crudo to the bombas de iberico and the pulpo a la Vida. And of course we had to order paella - definitely get the seafood! AND DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT DESSERT - we ended up ordering 3 to share. I couldn't choose one favorite, they were all tasty. We tried the churros espanoles, the crema catalana and the tarta de queso vasca. Definitely try at least one! The outdoor patio was a bit chilly in January (yes, a very late review) but would be perfect in the upcoming fall weather, especially with the colorful umbrellas hanging overhead. The perfect spot for a fun night out - whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just finding something fun and different to eat and drink, Sebastian Pintxos is the best spot in midtown for it!

So this was a pretty solid spot. I ended up going for happy hour and really only majority had drinks. But I'll get to that. So this spot is midtown and there is no free parking. There is a lot right next door but other than that you have to do your own parking search. When I was there I did get a couple things upstairs. I tried the brussel sprouts, they were pretty good. Nothing mind-blowing but pretty decent. Also tried the pork belly, which came with four strips of pork belly. This one had a decent flavor but wouldn't be anything that I would rush to get back again. For the price. It wasn't bad but you only still got four little fingerlings of them. The staff was super cool and the ambience is dope. As you can see in the pictures, it's very decorative and great on the eyes. The last time I went, I was at the bar... I have never sat down in an actual seat. But I'm a fan of the bar anyway. Bartender was pretty clutch though. The selling point for me was the "speakeasy" downstairs. If you go downstairs there is a full bar and hookah bar. It was a great vibe. You had TVs and good music ... I would go back It for nothing but the vibe of the downstairs area.

Sebastian Pintxos is amazing stop for happy hour or any of their delicious beverages not to mention the service and general aesthetics are fun/decorative. I originally was going to give 3 stars, but decided one more star for the service was needed as our server was so kind! The food is slightly more hit or miss which is the reason for my more average/standard rating, but of course this could have just been an off day for some of the dishes. Parking is street parking for the most part, which is probably tougher to find at a busier time, but we were lucky and found a spot right next to the restaurant. See below for a more detailed review of items: * Happy Hour Margarita (Raspberry & Passionfruit) 9/10: love the flavors, tastes more like fresh fruit or nectar than straight syrup from the bottle * White Sangria Pitcher 8/10: loved the glassware it came in and the lid to protect from summer bugs! It was refreshing but seemed to maybe have a bit too much ice in it for a standard pace of drinking! Our last couple glasses tasted more like water than anything. * Brussel Small Plate 8/10: loved how crispy these were & the vinegary/sweet glaze was perfect for snacking! * Skirt Steak Tapas Plate 8/10: seasoned well, cooked a LITTLE longer than I would have wanted temp wise but not well done or too rough! Loved the thing slices of potatoes as the bed to the steak. * Calamari 8/10: we did enjoy how this calamari was fried, light and not super crispy but not bready! Also a really tasty sauce that isn't the normal aioli, sweet chili, or tomato sauce. * Small Shrimp Tapas Plate 9/10: Shrimp were juicy and fresh! Had a nice snap & not too heavy on flavor but a good shrimp doesn't need much when cooked well * Beef Empanada 5/10: this was just okay! Filling was flavorful, but the dough wasn't very crispy, buttery, or anything really. Would maybe try the chicken one? * Chicken Skewers 5/10: juicy chicken, good quality, but there was absolutely no seasoning on them and chicken breast need flavor on them All in all, I will be back for drinks and to give some more plates a try! It's perfect for an after work happy hour hangout or a girls time out so they will see me again! Oh...and loved the music on the patio. :)

Food: The shared platter for 2 came out super quick; it was just ok. Pineapples were a little brown, waffles were cold. Best things on the sesame chicken buttes & potato's. If I come back, I will get an entree instead! Service: Attentive & professional Ambiance: The early the better if you like to get in & out to beat any possible crowd. Next time, I go though I am looking forward to the mixologist class they have every mon. Based on the drink I had, the RosaRita was delish so, I look forward to that drunk again & maybe even being shown how to make it.

Even the bathroom was cute

Came here with my girlfriend and we were instantly in love with the vibe! We ordered the espresso martini tower (aka the "Caffeine Tower"), and it did not disappoint--delicious, smooth, and such a fun presentation. We also shared the brunch platter for two and the fruit platter--both were beautifully presented and absolutely tasty. The whole experience felt so gorgeous and cute--from the aesthetic to the service to the menu. I'll definitely be back!

I read they had live music and I loved the idea of having a drink and relaxing to music…read more Unfortunately this is a lobby bar and is extremely noisy. We found a nice table and ordered a glass of wine. We had every intent of staying and eating, but this atmosphere is not what we had in mind. I felt bad for the musician because nobody was paying attention. Our server disappeared so even if we wanted to stay for more drinks it was a hassle. The bartender finally tracked down our bill and we decided to go elsewhere.

A few colleagues and I decided to stop at the bar in the lobby before heading up to our rooms…read more Although it wasn't in the menu, someone asked if they could make a decaf espresso martini and the server said he'd find out. Rather than just finding out, he went ahead and made it and brought it out with the group's drinks. When I saw how good it looked, I decided to order one too. The presentation of the drink was very nice and it had a good creamy flavor to it. This drink was a nice way to wind down the evening. As someone from TX, I did think the drinks were a bit on the pricey side but it's not surprising with it being the ritz. I liked that the bar had a fun yet casual ambiance and there were plenty of people around. We did ask what time last call was and were told midnight so we didn't hurry to order a second drink. Unfortunately, when we ordered another at 10:40... we were told they had closed which was frustrating.

Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!

The amount of prep, technique, and patience required for clarified cocktails definitely isn't lost on me, so I naturally gravitated toward those options. MidCity clearly puts serious effort into the details and the server was well-equipped to discuss and help guide me to the right decisions. I tried the Peanut+Butter, Mangorita, and Pear Matcha Fizz. The Mangorita was the standout for me. The rum brought a deep, complex backbone while the mango rounded everything out with just the right sweetness. Super balanced, layered, and honestly just delicious. The Peanut+Butter reminded me a bit of a Boulevardier variation, with the Cynar adding that earthy, slightly bitter edge that kept it from leaning too sweet. Really interesting drink with a lot going on. The Pear Matcha Fizz was refreshing and easy to drink -- definitely tasty -- but felt a little less complex and developed compared to the other two cocktails I had. Overall, very impressed. Creative menu, thoughtful execution, and a clear respect for craft cocktails. Already planning to go back tonight to work through more of the menu. This is a gem on the cocktail scene in Atlanta and deserves the glowing reviews that it has here on Yelp.
