Romantic dinner that became our honeymoon dinner since we didn't take an immediate honeymoon. Service food wine ambiance all first rate.

Tried this place on Tuesday night (August 13, 2024) This place was great! Beautiful scenery and a huge patio (which is where we sat). The weather happened to be nice so sitting outside in summer was nice and refreshing. Service: Our server was ok this evening, he seemed a bit distracted, but for the most part got our food and drinks to us satisfactorily. Food: Super tasty! We tried the bacon wrapped dates, salmon, lamb chops, and a few other things. (Sorry, forgot to take pictures because we were so hungry). but, everything tasted fabulous! We ended up getting attacked by mosquitos so they let us move inside for dessert (nice way to keep us happy - appreciate you). Great place to have an intimate or large dinner. Go try them!!

Meson Sabika is a stunning Spanish mansion turned restaurant, offering a truly picturesque dining experience. We ordered the Mariscos Paella, pork jamon croquettes, bacon-wrapped dates, and empanadas. The ambiance was perfect for a special afternoon. The food was good, though not outstanding. The bacon-wrapped dates were a highlight, delicious and well-executed. However, the Paella and empanadas were just okay compared to what we've had in Spain and at other Spanish restaurants.Overall, Meson Sabika provides a lovely atmosphere and a decent meal. While the food didn't quite match our high expectations, it's still a delightful place to visit. Four stars!

We had an amazing dinner here! I made a reservation for a party of 8 (6 adults and 2 kids) when we had some visitors over a weekend. This restaurant is located in a beautiful historical mansion, and we were seated indoors, upstairs. FYI I am not sure they have an elevator. I initially requested outdoor seating but when the temperature got sweltering hot, I switched to an indoor preference. I called their staff and they updated the notes without any issues. And everyone got the same memo too because no one was seated outside that day - it was one of those uncomfortably, dangerously hot summer days. Since we had a large group, we were able to try a bunch of different things. So if you have the chance to come with more companions, the more the merrier! They also have kids meals for little ones. Our server was so friendly and recommended a nice bottle of red to go with our meal. Here is what we ordered for 6 adults: Carne Asada Solomillos a la plancha Costilla a la riojana Remolacha Jamon Serrano Patatas con aliola Queso de cabra Pincho de pollo Campesina paella The menu is extensive and can be overwhelming, so we relied on our server's suggestions. The paella orders are taken at the beginning, and we were briefed that they can take up to 45 minutes to prepare. We decided to get the Campesina paella with chicken and chorizo (no shellfish) since there were allergies at the table. The food was SO delicious and I loved shareable tapas experience. My favorite was the queso de cabra, which is "oven-baked goat cheese in tomato basil sauce, served with garlic sauce." They are not joking about the garlic, it was heavy on the garlic which is perfection. The evening we dined here, there was a wedding banquet in the terrace space next to the mansion, with a big tent and guests wearing their finest regalia. The staff that night were working hard, but everything was executed perfectly. This place KNOWS how to handle large parties well, and the hospitality was top notch. The food was paced, the wine glasses placed, the wine poured, and each tapas was freshly prepared. I didn't get too many photos of the food since I was just enjoying the company and being in the moment. I now have really fond memories from our meal here. And it was a good choice for dinner (patting myself on the back) to reunite with friends who traveled near and far to visit. Meson Sabika will always have a special place in my heart!

Had a 7:30 reservation on a Tuesday night, ended up waiting almost 20 minutes to be seated. The hostess explained that usually there's a back log caused by the 5 - 5:30 tables where they are just getting done. So if you go around 8 the tables will open up much faster. The hostess kept checking on the people waiting and offered updates and did the best she could to ensure the people waiting felt not forgotten. Aside from the wait the outdoor seating was great due to the nice weather. We got 4 hot tapas (spicy potato, shredded Brussels sprouts, skirt steak and grilled octopus) and 1 cold one (mushroom with palm of hearts and cheese). Spicy potato was seasoned perfectly with just the right heat. The shredded baked sprouts was great with the cheese and seasoning. Skirt steak was cooked perfectly t medium rare but I forgot to tell them to take out the blue cheese (that's on me). Grilled octopus was perfectly cooked that you can cut with a butter knife (the green sauce was super fragrant but has a bit of kick). The cold dish was just the right amount of citrus to go with the mushroom, hart of palm, and asparagus. Couldn't decided on the sangria so got the Sangria Flight instead. ($25) totally worth it because they come in full glasses. Peach, prickly pair, mango, and strawberry. I hate strawberry or cherry drinks because they reminds me of medicine but the sangrias are all very well made. 4-5 tapas for 2 is a perfect amount. Just expect a bit of wait but the food, service, and ambiance is top notch.

Beautiful mansion to dine in with good food and service. Reservations are recommended because they stay pretty busy. Very convenient to make reservation on OpenTable. Portions are small since they are tapas after all, making the prices lean on the higher side. The noise level in the room can get a little loud. Spice 'n Ice Martini $15 - It's green from the jalapeno and has a nice kick. Remolacha $13 - Gold and red beet with arugula salad. Queso de Cabra $15 - Goat cheese in tomato sauce served with garlic bread. It's good, but nothing special. Pulpo con Salsa Verde $19 - The grilled octopus was a little fatty, but well cooked and the green salsa was very complimentary in flavor. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024
