I have eaten here several times and its always good but not great. Yesterday we went for brunch because we had a groupon. Service was good, food was good and came out decently paced. The mimosas were excellent, heavy on the champagne and light on the oj (the way it should be lol). The only thing, our server had 2 tables and brought us the other tables bill which was less than ours. We gave him our card, didnt think anything of it because we did have a 30 dollar off coupon and we didnt really inspect the bill because the pricing seemed about right. He took the bill and then came back to tell us it was the wrong bill. I understand errors happen, we are all human, but he had two tables. They ordered breakfast foods, we ordered lunch so it shouldnt have been that difficult to figure it out. It just put a bad taste in my mouth. But I would still go back because the food is good.

I ate here based on the yelp recommendations and was very pleased. I sampled around the menu quite a bit. Shockingly--the portabelllo mushroom was my favorite thing that we sampled. I never knew a mushroom could be that good! The Salmon Ceviche was also quite tasty, very strong and aggressive flavoring. The place is really nice. The whole area looks vintage--the buildings are beautiful. The service was great, we were really taken care of. It's a loud place, so it probably won't do if you are looking for quiet. . . but I say it would be great if you are in a large group.

Went tonight for dinner after going for lunch about a month ago. While the Tapas Tuesday's was a great deal (a list of both cold and hot tapas all for $4, and sangria was $4 a glass as well) I can't say I was impressed. We got the hummus, which was "meh." The calamari was alright, but nothing special, I could get that at probably any chain seafood restaurant and it would taste the same. My boyfriend and I split a beef shortrib dish, which we were told would be enough for the both of us. Neither of us ended up being particularly hungry, but had we been it definitely would not have been big enough. I didn't like the dish at all, the beef was extremely fatty (I don't know if that's how it's supposed to be, but if so I was unaware of this and did not enjoy it at all) and despite asking if the roasted tomatoes came on top (to which I was told no) they came on top anyways, luckily they were easy enough to take off. The potatoes that it came with were alright, again nothing special what so ever. The service was good, but what I thought was a little odd was that nearly ever server had a trainee with them. While training in restaurants is obviously necessary, I found it odd that they had so many people training at the same time. An issue with turn-over maybe? I don't know, but as someone who's been working as a server for over 4 1/2 years it was definitely a weird thing to notice I would come back again for the delicious sangria and the oh-so-good tres leches cake. I also have to say when I came for lunch I had some beef dish (that I could not find on the dinner menu) that was amazing. I'll be back, I mean we live right nearby, for the beautiful decor and the sangria alone and hope for a better experience next time.

Had a great dinner here with my boyfriend. Sparkling Sangria was fantastic and no complaints on the food. Coming from NYC I have had plenty of amazing meals and been to some of the best restaurants. I highly reccommend the mushroom sevilla, stuffed red pepper with veal, mussles and seafood paella!

Ahh, Ceviche, the prettiest place in town. I should've taken pictures, it really is beautifully decorated. +10 for atmosphere alone. So I popped in for a Yelp meetup last night, and was blown away by the attentiveness of the staff. I had inquired as to where I might find a nearby smoke shop when our waiter disappeared and reappeared 3 minutes later with a cigarette and a book of matches! He totally went out of his way to do that. Pretty cool. The food was really good - and I finally got to try the famed patatas bravas - YUM!!! More, please. I ordered the Ceviche a la Rusa - oysters with caviar, pepper, and a shot of vodka. Good, but the oysters were a bit overwhelmed by the mound of goodies on top of them. Also tried the goat cheese - very nice - and the scallop ceviche was generously portioned in a martini glass, although one diner said he thought they might be a little "off" after they had sat there for about 20 minutes or so while we mingled... not sure what to say about that. The only real disappointment for me, that I can think of was the little pieces of bread that came with the goat cheese app were on the stale/chewy/sorta crunchy side. Not so great. Otherwise, I think a return trip is in order, perhaps a Sunday brunch...

This is THE place to have a birthday party or any other kind of celebration. The reason??? Cause it's HUGE!!!! For being downtown and most places are limited space...Ceviche isn't one of them. There are two sections, I've only ever sat in the section that is on the right. There's a feel of comfortability while maintaning a chill/exoctic vibe. The menu is HUGE as well!!! double sided and filled to the max with SO MANY choices it can be a bit donting. I find that if you go online and precheck out the dishes, it makes it easier to decide later. This is a tapas restaurant and pretty much everything is meant to be shared...so the portions can be on the small side, but they do offer most of the dishes as full entre meals (very nice!!!) Since most of the menu items are in...spanish??? I don't remember the names of the ones I've had, but, i do know what was in them :) So, the stuffed artichokes...YUMMMMMM!!!!! Save some of the bread they give you in the begining and use it to scoop up the remaining sauce from the plate...so amazing! I have also had the Cod stuffed couquettes (?) and those were TASTY!!!! I try to get something different every time since the menu is massive, there's no reason to just get the same thing every time :) Now...for my favorite item... white sangria!!!! So yummy!!! They also have a red, so for the traditionalists out there, you're covered. They do have a happy hour special, can't remember what it is, but I do remember that I wanted to go back for it....so it must have been good :) So, YES! Go check this place out. There's gonna be something for everyone and I believe that's what makes it such a unique place to go for lifes celebrations.

We arrived at around 7:30 on a Saturday and were sat right away. The Wait staff was pleasant and took the time to explain the menu as this was our first time here. My boyfriend is a bit of a picky eater so the waiter suggested a few items that he may enjoy and I am more of an adventurous eater so he recommended a few items for me as well. He was SPOT ON! Everything we both had was WONDERFUL. He suggested that we check out the show at around 10. We actually had plans, but it was very nice that he took the time to tell us about it. I will DEFINITELY be going back.

I went back to Ceviche on Saturday night while on a short trip to Orlando and while our server Natalia was AMAZING, I was disappointed with the food. It's just not as tasty as it used to be. We ordered the banderillas mixtas, the albondigas, the croquetas and the patatas bravas. The albondigas weren't bad, but the patatas bravas were undercooked and the croquetas weren't sufficiently crispy. The texture was too oily. Of the items we tried, i'd say the banderillas were the best. We also ordered a small caraffe of the red sangria which also was not as good as I remember. The worst part of the experience was finding out that our beloved almendrado was taken off the dessert menu! I was looking forward to dinner there all week and left feeling less than satisfied.

Absolutely amazing food with very accommodating staff! We had a larger group with a range of dietary restrictions and everyone was taken care of. Great atmosphere, wonderful presentation, and definitely delicious.

We loved all the menu choices (everything was delicious), the attentive and charming service (thanks Alberto!) and the beautiful atmosphere (fixtures salvaged from a church in New Orleans).

food was great. the server Rhonda was awesome!! she made my birthday dinner a dream. I gave it 4 stars because a few things need a small improvement the lights I found it it was a bit to dark and very noisy I couldn't hear my guess or even the server the other thing was the way the tapas was were coming out almost like one at a time but with a long wait in between I was OK with that but some people in my party were very annoyed by this specially when half of us are eating and the other half is looking at us with nothing to eat. Seriously other than that which I think is minor fixings it was great and I will be going back and trying more things.

No stars. Stay away. This is a totally bogus tapas place. We ordered a Tabla Mixta which was supposed to come with Serrano Ham, Chorizo Cantimpalo, and Morcilla as well as several types of cheese and figs. The price was 14.95 but it was a total scam: 2 slices of the ham that were really 1/4 of a slice each, one thin slice of chorizo, and a half-dollar size slice of what tasted like capicola, 4 paper thin slices of cheese and a teaspoon dab of cabrales blue cheese with a mound of spring salad and 4 thin slices of apple; no morcilla. I complained about the meager serving and they took it off the bill. We paid $10 for about 2 ounces of average wine (Campo Viejo) which retails for $12 and costs them under $9 a bottle. Someone else at the table ordered several dishes and part of their order took over an hour to be served, he complained and the manager sent him several free tapas, including a Mixed Ceviche which I tasted and found undermarinated and spiced with Cumin. I have to tell you that I have tasted a lot of Peruvian and Ecuadorian Ceviches, but I have never before tasted one with Cumin in it. It only had one shrimp about 2 ounces of fish and a few rings of squid. It also had several little mango cubes, which I had never seen in a ceviche before either. This place is a top contender for the Rip-off Restaurant of the year. We will not go back. If you want to see what a good real tapas taberna is like go to XixÃ³n or El Gallegazo in Miami.

Great date spot. If you go at peak dinner hours be prepared to wait or you can do what we do and find seats at the bar, they'll serve you food there too. Not the cheapest meal downtown but the food has always been great every time we've been.

Tany G.

Great food and great atmosphere! Everyone has to try the potatoes bravos. They are a must have, and apparently one of the most popular items there. Tuesdays and wedensdays are my favorite days to go since it's either $4 tapas on Tuesdays or 1/2 wine on wednesdays.

I'm a bit embarrassed by our recent visit here. I've been here before and had a pleasant time. I talked up the restaurant to friends so we planned a late dinner here on a Saturday night to check out the flamenco dancers . Plus we knew that they were offering $1.60 select tapas and select drinks for their 16th anniversary. I had called beforehand and the hostess mentioned that we could just walk in instead of making a reservation. Would've totally been nice if she mentioned there was a wedding party there and that there was a ONE HOUR WAIT. I was ticked off because our friends had driven out of their way, one coming all the way from Kissimmee. They were able to seat us outside at essentially a patio table you would find in a backyard. It was right next to the door. There was no privacy. We were right next to the door and also seated next to smokers which is my absolute pet peeve. Not to mention the noise coming from Church St. Just wasn't an ideal dining situation. The waiter eventually came by and I asked him about the special $1.60 tapas menu. He mumbled "patatas" and I told him "Shouldn't there be more ?" He looked a little flustered, brushed us off and walked away to find out . Didn't even bother to ask us what we would like to drink. Totally unacceptable. That sent my husband and I over the edge. We never did find out if there were other tapas offered because we ended up getting up and leaving and spending our money at Amura. I checked out the restaurant's FB page later and apparently they are offering only one discounted tapa PER WEEK during the promotion period. Their marketing is absolutely misleading. Don't state "select tapas" and a time frame if it will only be one discounted tapa PER WEEK. Beware of this if you are planning to take advantage of this promotion. Overall, it was a disappointing and embarrassing experience because of my friends who were looking forward to dining here. Not sure if they will want to try this place again after their poor first impression.

I love this place so much I am having my wedding reception here! I love Tapas Tuesday especially! So many items are half off. I have never had a bad meal or a bad experience here. Beautiful restaurant! Great for dates and girls nights! I know our guests will love the food. My fav drink is the white sangria(best I have ever had) and as far as food...I cannot choose. Its all amazing! Its a must! They have cool entertainment Friday and Saturday nights in the bar. If you decide to eat in the bar then it is terribly loud so do not expect much talking to your company unless you want to loss your voice. I speak from experience! BUT I truly love this place!

Great Spanish decor and ceviche. Other than that the food was disappointing. The beef tenderloin lacked salt. The cheese platter consisted of cheese sliced in huge slices. The Mediterranean salad was a strange mix of seafood, apples, and walnuts. If your a foodie like me, you'll try somewhere else.

Twanda E.

This place made my trip to Orlando amazing. 1. The waiter was hot and loved Outkast...how can you not swoon over that? 2. The Sangria! It is more than a beverage it is an experience. The waiter prepared the sangria at the table...and remember he was hot. 3. What we came here for the ceviche. It was flavorful and was everything. We also loved the spinach. Everything here was just so tasty. The best thing to do here is order all the suggested items and share the goodness with the table. I cannot wait to get back to Orlando to go here and Hash a Go Go.

Waiter was nice (except it seemed like he had a pre-canned spiel for all the guests he was serving). The food did not live up to my expectation; I do give him points though for being honest to me and my friend when we asked how much we should order (he was right, that we should start off with maybe 2-3 plates then see if we want more as you do get full easily; read lots of reviews raving about this place but it was overhyped in my opinion. We ordered the tuna ceviche and while I thought it was fresh and was good with the strong taste of lime, I've had better ceviche homemade. The duck breast with the chocolate sauce was not bad but I would not have ordered it if I was given a second chance. However, I did enjoy the pork shank dish; it was flavorful and it was satisfying to the mouth.

Always amazing service. Always amazing food. The Cava Sangria is definitely worth trying. They put a lot of passion in their food and your tastebuds can feel it in each bite. The environment is lovely.

A lively edition to downtown Orlando. The service started off a little bumpy and several manager-types walked past oblivious that we'd been there for 10 minutes without even a hello - but the food made up for it. The ceviche, carpaccio, chicken pesto, oven roasted potatoes were all great. Portions were better than expected. Wine menu, extensive. When the bill arrived, I thought...what a great value. I'll definitely go back, and explore the menu more. Bonus: darkly lit flamenco bar.

We went for their Tapas Tuesday special where select small plates and sangria are $4. Considering most of the plates offered on special were normally $6-8, it's a pretty good deal, and the selection is still quite substantial. The atmosphere is busy but still somewhat intimate in the dining area. It wasn't too crowded for 6:30 and it'd be great for larger groups (we were only a party of 4) - plus isn't group dining the point of tapas? So of course, you're going to order a bunch of items, and we went for a few veggies and a few meats. The roasted asparagus was wonderfully fresh, grilled just enough to give it a nice charred flavor without completely cooking it. Artichoke hearts were good, but the accompanying hearts of palm stole that show. The chorizo was pretty bland in the two dishes it was heavily featured in - the stuffed peppers and the 5-chorizo skillet. If you're looking for spice, this isn't the place. We had to get an actual ceviche dish to see if it lived up to the name and the tuna was wonderfully fresh, just enough seasoning that you could taste the lime but still also taste the fish. Chicken/ham croquettes were nothing special, would have paired them with another sauce besides the bechamel, which was a bit too sweet. The sauteed mushrooms had a wonderful garlic flavor, but I didn't catch the brandy or herbs. Fresh baked bread was provided (upon request after seeing it at another table) with an odd dipping sauce that was a cross between olive oil and herbs and a tapanede...flavor of the herbs but chunky like a tapanede minus the salt. Odd, but not bad. The babaganoush was nothing special, good but a bit light on the garlic. The star of the night, the thing I was anticipating the most and didn't even realize we got until we complained, was the chicken livers and mushrooms. I'm a fan of chicken livers, and the dish was listed as sauteed chicken livers, mushrooms and bacon. As our items came out (they come as they're prepped, so it's staggered) we noticed one odd tomato-based dish with mushrooms, onions, and delicious clumps of ground meat. We figured we got an incorrect dish as we were halfway through, but no one bothered to mention it because it was so delicious. The meat was rich and flavorful, seemed like it had been flash-fried because it was crispy on the outside even after sitting in a tomato sauce. At the end, we mentioned to the waiter we had not gotten the liver dish and he pushed an order through - when it was brought to the table my friends suddenly realized the winning dish of the night was indeed, liver. Tim, who was against it from the start, had just finished proclaiming that meat was the best thing he had all night. I call this a complete win, they had apparently mixed the bacon in with the livers to help offset the iron-flavor and it worked perfectly. If you hate liver, but love mushrooms, bacon and tomato, get this and you will like liver. Anyway, enough liver gushing, time to wrap this up. Service is okay, it's fast paced so you pretty much have to flag your waiter down for drink refills or anything. Don't bug them about not getting a dish until you're near the very end of your meal - things are served as they're prepped, so there's no telling if/when you'll get what you ordered. Do keep a mental note of what you order so you're definitely getting all you asked for. Prices are a bit high, but given the quality of the ingredients and location, it's not too horrible. Most plates (not on special) run about $8-12 and some do come in dinner portions, but sharing is just more fun. The full menu is available, too, so you can order some of their awesome desserts. The chocolate cake was rich and moist without being too dense and came with a delicious custard and raspberry swirl sauce. The creme brulee was a bit loose, but tasty although I didn't find it benefitted from the chocolate shell. Definitely a return trip for me and friends on another Tuesday!

My boyfriend and I went to Orlando for vacation and went here for dinner. It was very busy so we had to wait a few minutes for a table, but we were able to wait at the bar with drinks. The ceviche was amazingly good, as well as the patatas bravas. Service was excellent, even with the place packed.

Kalynne M.

Fun, authentic bar and restaurant. Fabulous tapas and sangria! Wonderful live entertainment... Dancing music and singing. Very romantic date place! My husband and I order 3-4 tapas and it's enough food for dinner. We love the chicken dishes and calamari. Bar service can be slow so get a pitcher of sangria.

Minji Y.

This place is fantastic! Our waiter was super friendly, and had great recommendations. We came here for dinner, and had Ceviche de la Casa, Higados de Pollo, and the Paella Negra. All were extremely well prepared and tasted fantastic. The ceviche was fresh and lemony, the higados de pollo fantastically savory in a tomato-based sherry sauce, and the paella negra soft and delicious. I really wish I could take this place home with me, but the next time I'm in Orlando, I'll absolutely come back!

If i can just give 0 stars... Worst experience in my life, we have to wait 2 1/2 hours for getting a table, the restaurant personnel where very unfriendly, we ordered 3 bacalaos tapas and they forgot to bring 1, after we finished eating they came asking if someone was missing the bacalao with the plate in hands, this is after 45 minutes they came with the first 2 so this plate was sitting in the kitchen for 45 minutes.... We refused it and they tried to charge it on check. My sister ordered some mixed skewers and the tenderloin was so bad that she tough it was "Bull balls", but it was confirmed tenderloin eek.... The food nothing close to real Spain cousine and not good at all, this place is way overrated just because they do some Flamenco dancing doesn't deserve 5 star. Please stay away so it can be replaced with something better in the future..

Simply put, the food was amazing but the service was not to par. We did go on a Saturday night and it was busy, but the bigger tables got the most of our waiters attention. The paella was on point and I really have no complaint on any of the tapas.

Bottom Line - You've gotta order the tapas and ceviche... don't go for non-traditional foods like duck and quail. Tuesdays are $4 tapas nights. The atmosphere is great and service is pretty attentive. Came on Tuesday, 3rd January 2012 with 2 friends and we ordered the following: Calamarrs Fritos ($4 on tapas Tuesdays) - These were not bad. Totally worth the $4. Piquillos Rellenos ($4 on tapas Tuesdays, Roasted red peppers stuffed with ground veal and mild chorizo sausage, served with light sherry sauce) - My friends had mixed reactions to these. I liked it, however. Albondigas ($4 on tapas Tuesdays, veal, chorizo and pork meatballs in piquant tomato sauce) - I'd order this again; however, the dish didn't come out very hot. Croquet as de Pollo ($4 on tapas Tuesdays, hickey and Serrano ham folded into bechamel and deep fried) This totally wasn't what I expected. It was lacking in flavour and tasted off. I probably wouldn't order this again. Tortilla EspaÃ±ola ($5.95 potato and onion omelette) - This didn't have enough potato and too much egg. It was more of a fritatta than a tortilla espanola... I wouldn't order this again. Cordoniz de grilladore ($10.95m Marinaded and grilled quail served over sautÃ©ed spinach, dressed with honey, garlic and figs) - My friends and I didn't care for the quail; however, the spinach was the highlight of the evening. We wished they had a full dish (or salad) that was just the spinach.... Costullas de Vaca ($18.95 beef short ribs with Rioja wine, oven roasted tomato and elephant garlic, served with potatoes) - The beef short ribs were not very tender. I had expected this dish to be braised, which it was not.... totally missed the mark with this dish. Would not order it again. Pato a la Parilla ($12.95, grilled duck breast over a chocolate port sauce) - The duck portion was very small, and the flavour was off... it didn't taste anything like duck. We were most disappointed by this dish. Almendrado ($7.95, crisp, warm almond pastry served with vanilla ice cream) - This was just an almond croissant warmed up with ice cream on the side. I seriously doubt this was made in-house. Pudin de Pan ($7.95, bread pudding with Spanish brandy, served with ice cream and white chocolate sauce) - We actually enjoyed the bread pudding. The portion was huge, and we couldn't finish it all. Overall, Ceviche is A-OK. Our server was absolutely wonderful, and the atmosphere is quite good. I'd come back, but would only order tapas and the ceviche (which we didn't order this time around). Along with 3 hot teas ($4.50/each), our bill came to $94.20 + 6.13 tax + 20.00 tip = $120.33 for our table of 3.

Every time I'm in town, I visit Ceviche. Every time I visit Ceviche, it's been an excellent and unique experience. Unique in that the menu is large enough to have several "favorites" while still having things you want to try. The sangrias are good, but pretty much just a small bottle of wine dumped into a pitcher with ice and fresh fruit. Nothing special, but still pretty good. I can't even start to get into all the individual dishes that I've had here, but I can tell you that they've all been high quality and damn good. If you've never been to this area before, be forewarned: The city will shut down streets on occasion for events. There is a city parking lot under the bridge a block away that only charges $1 per hour - unless it's game night, and then it's $10 to park there for the night. Check to see if there's a game or event at the Amway center before making a decision to visit. HIGHLY recommended.

Went with a group of 3 others. Had albondigas (my favorite dish), tortilla espanol, hummus, San jacobo (pork filled with ham and cheese and deep fried in panko), the paella, patatas something or other (potatoes in some sauce), pa alm something (bread with ham and cheese), and croquetas... The albondigas were great as I expected...loved the piquante sauce (saved it after the meatballs were gone as dipped my bread in it).... Everyone loved the San jacobo dish, as well as the potatoes and croquetas The rest were just good I've had my share of tapas and this is a very good place - not the best, but definitely very good. The better ones I've had are in Philly. Also, the prices were really good. It was far more affordable than I expected. The staff was pretty good as well. It's a great location with good ambiance. It's definitely worth multiple visits.

Awful service here. I came with a Groupon and they didn't explain what they were doing with it. My waitress kept saying that I hadn't reached my limit so I kept spending money. Then I got my check and they wouldn't apply my groupon to it because it was Tapas Tuesday. I told them they could charge me full price and then apply my Groupon and that would be fair. My Groupon was $25 for $50 worth of food. I spent $53 if you made everything full price, which my Groupon would have covered almost entirely. But they only gave me a small discount and I owed them $20. So I paid $25 for the Groupon and $20 for the meal. It ended up being a rip off, I spent more money, I didn't save ANY money at all. I complained to the waitress got NOTHING. No sympathy, no comping, nothing. It was very infuriating. Putting the Groupon aside, the waitress only checked on us twice the entire meal. The ceviche had too much lime in it. The tapas were excellent as was the sangria. The atmosphere was nice but it was very loud in the formal dining area. All in all, customer service sucks here. I used to be a waitress and I would never have done what they did. I would have recommended people and come back. But now I am never going back and I am going to tell people how dishonest they are.

This was a late valentine's date as we had a wedding to attend that day. Being from Orlando but having moved many years back this place quickly came up as a top spot to go eat at. Right away I was impressed. Atmosphere was quaint, classy and romantic which is what I wanted on this night. For a tapas type restaurant food and drink were on point. Apparently Tuesday night was a great night to go as they have great special then. Waiter was super cool and nice. After inquiring about the sangria selection he was nice enough to give us a two on the house. One white and one red. Sangria was spot on and to my surprise gave me a decent buzz. We were even lucky enough to be here for live Flamenco. The band was incredible. The Waiter said many people don't know but it was actually a night when they practice for some of the more happening nights. Still this practice was amazing to watch. This place is definitely a must if you're ever in downtown Orlando area.

Ryan K.

Hands down, one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando! Don't let the name fool you, this place is much more than just Ceviche dishes. Have you ever wanted to try new something new, went out, spend a lot of money, only to be disappointed because it turns out you didn't enjoy the new dish? Ceviche is the answer. Since the plates are served Tapas style (small portions of multiple different items) you can order some safe food along with your adventurous new items. The food is great and the atmosphere is perfect for date night. It is a bit on the pricey side as those small dishes add up quick. Insider Tip: I recommend you try different dishes every trip but the Patatas Bravas (potatoes tossed with spicy homemade aioli) are a must every time Fun Fact: Come here on Tuesday Nights for specials including $4 plates and cheap $4 sangria!

Marcel V.

You'd think that if they are called Ceviche they would have great Ceviche. There are just 4 or 5 types, and about 100 other Spanish Tapas on the menu. And they were very stingy with the fish in the Ceviche. Maybe 5 little pieces, carefully placed so as to hide the lettuce leaves filling up the bottom half of the cup. All of the food tasted ok, but nothing was excellent. Nothing I would say to someone, if you go to Ceviche, order the x. It is huge and that always makes me skeptical, as does dim lights. Overall I got the impression like the restaurant is a cash cow for someone, and that someone isn't a foodie. They have calculated carefully how they can make the most money out of the place. Here's a hint: be great, don't be stingy, then the crowds will keep coming.

looked this restaurant up on downtown orlando site for a date and they came highly recommended. The place has two parts one if formal dinning and the other side is where the bar,, stage and just a few seating available. since there was a wait at the dinning area we decided to stay at the bar where to our excitement the live music was. We were given a ridicoulusly long menu which was hard to read under all the poor lighting and small font. I ordered CHURRASCO AL CABRALES- Grilled New York strip medallion with compote of white leeks and shiitake mushrooms, served with Spanish Cabrales sauce It was great ! cooked perfectly, we also go a free order of there famous potatoes which taste like mayo and ketchup with a spash of spicyness. Freaking delicious. The sangria is horrible though, the wine they have on stock and use in the sangria has a watery consistancy Yuck Yuck. everything else was great. Actually danced a bit after the live music they played latin music. all and all a great place to take a date.

We had a mixture of chorizo, steak, chicken, and shrimp that was all delicious. Our steak was so chewy, we were not able to swallow it, but the manager compensated with a complementary desert. Our server did disappear for a bit at the end, but otherwise the service was great.

This use to be one of the most top services restaurant in Florida, now you cam only get a table if you buy it, prepare to give a few bills to the lady at the entrance and then you can get your table in less than a hour or else sit for endless hours waiting for your turn, I am here more than 2 hours waiting for a table when they are sitting 3 people in tables for 7....I refused to pay so I left....

I've been here 2-3 times when I've traveled to Orlando for work. I had a great time each time I went, and the food does not disappoint (I'd say 4/5 tapas were excellent). Drinks / sangria were very good too. I will say that the live entertainment (while amusing and fun) can be a little cheesy. But I'm ok with a little queso for my peso.

This is one of my friends and I's go to restaurants for special celebrations. There are tons and tons of tapas options. My favorite is the goat cheese, but the frog legs, and scallops are close contenders. The atmosphere is really lively and fun! and they also have a full bar. There are famous for their sangria, and my fiance enjoyed the beer selection as well. It is a little pricy, but for a good night out and some excellent food, it is well worth a visit now and again.

The only reason I like this place is because of their delicious red sangria and their creme brulee! I doubt I will ever go back for lunch (never go there if you're on a time limit). I went here on my lunch hour on a Wednesday with a group of girls for a birthday celebration. I was in no rush and expected to be there a little over an hour....but I was there for 2 hours, which I was not expecting and didn't really want to have to make up that much time at work. First of all, there were maybe 3 other tables of people in this restaurant along with us and it took about 20 minutes for us to get our drinks. Jennifer, our waitress was very quick with everyone and it was hard to get a word in or ask her anything bc it seemed like she didn't want to be bothered. I had to ask for my drink 3 times before it actually made it to the table. It then took another 20 minutes until she even considered taking our order. By this time, my lunch hour was almost over. After being there for an hour and 15 minutes, our food finally came out. I saw our waitress at the other end of the table pick up my food and look at it and bring it to the kitchen. She never once mentioned to me that my order came out incorrect and that she sent it back to have it fixed, the only reason I knew was because I saw it happen. My food was the last one to be brought out (at least 10 minutes after everyone else was already eating) and my food came out wrong and was missing a very important ingredient....the ham! I continued to eat my food and asked for the ham that they put on the salads (I didn't care if it was cold). I waited 15 minutes for the ham and it was not the kind I asked for and I only got 5 pieces the size of nickels. Afterwards everyone received their checks and I had two $5.00 off lunch coupons that my sister won from the Downtown Confidential that she gave to me that had no restrictions on them whatsoever. She refused to let me use both of them on my lunch and then I had to wait about 15 minutes for her to find the manager to take the $5.00 off of my check for me while the rest of my party left to go back to work. Aside my problems, a couple other girls at my table also had some issues. One of the girls ordered some hummus (which was a tappas item that comes out fast) and she didn't even get it until everyone finished eating and had paid!! The waitress gave her an option of paying for it and having it boxed up, or having it taken off the bill and taken away from her to where she does't get it at all. In my opinion, it should have been comped and put in a to-go box for her for the inconvenience and not being able to eat her food at the table. I was extremely unhappy with my experience there and my food. I was a little too excited when I got to leave my "you've been yelped" card on the table.

Amazing and fresh food with a great atmosphere. This is a place you want to have your birthday or special event dinner at, everyone can come and choose to spend as much or as little as they need with menu pricing ranging from 5-15$. The white sangria, OMG so good. I need to come here more, more, more!

Love this place. Awesome tapas and a great show. And they have gluten-free options for my wife. Ambience is amazing. Get here by 8:15 to get a seat for the show, unless you have a reservation!

Met up with some friends to sit outside, have some dinner and drinks, and watch the happenings downtown. My wife and I had some sangria and a selection of tapas (Baba Ganoush, Garbanzo Hummus, Gambas y Aguacate, Solomillo a la Parilla, and I think another one or two that I can't remember). They all tasted pretty good, but none of them really tasted so good that they were worth the respective prices of up to $13 for just a couple of bites. Service was off and on, one of my ordered tapas never ended up making it to the table (thankfully, we weren't charged for it) and after our initial order we hardly saw the waiter again until we had decided that it wasn't worth waiting for another round of tapas, we'd just go grab a hot dog from a street vendor on the way home. All told, we left Ceviche still hungry but with a far lighter wallet. It's a beautiful place in a great location, but I just can't justify spending that kind of money for practically no food.

Ceviche is definitely one of my top favorite restaurants in Orlando AND Tampa. Fantastic menu... largest menu I've experience for tapas and a great variety. The food is always amazing at both but I do prefer the atmosphere in Orlando vs. Tampa. I preferred their old intimate location in Tampa. It's the perfect place for birthday dinners with the Flamingo dancers on the bar side (Orlando). Always my go to for a fun dinner with great food!

Sydney G.

Loved the atmosphere and the drinks here. The food was decent and so was the service. Because it's tapas, there are small portion sizes and I think the restaurant is less about the food and more about the atmosphere. I wouldn't come here if I was really hungry because that would get expensive. I had fun getting drinks and a light meal with friends here and would go again.

The white sangria is AMAZING! It's a little pricey unless you go during happy hour. Overall the food is pretty good, not great.

Wow! Buried in the pretentiousness that is Church street is a gorgeous restaurant that truly feels like a taste of Spain. The menu has a wide variety of tapas and a surprisingly big selection of vegetarian dishes. The sangria with the added brandy was delicious. My favorite part of the night had to be the entertainment. Three lovely flamenco dancers, a beautiful singer, feisty guitar player, and amazing drummer graced the stage. I will be returning here often now that I know I can avoid the rest of church street!

I visited Ceviche for a friends birthday and although I had heard (and read) mixed reviews about this place I was pleasantly surprised with how great of an experience we had. First and foremost...I dont know why anyone would get something other than the Sangria...its a great deal to get a pitcher and it tasted great. Our bartender told us a small pitcher was 3 glasses but we easily got 4+ glasses out of it so it was a much better deal than paying $6 a glass. Our waiter was just okay.. I couldn't even hear what he was saying half of the time so that was a little annoying but he got our orders correct and was pleasant so not a horrible aspect of the visit. The menu has tons of options with the front side all cold tapas and desserts and the back side all of the hot menu items and then it is split from chicken/beef/pork, then seafood, then vegetarian so it was pretty easy to navigate what areas of food we were looking to find. Within each category there were probably closed to 20 or so options so everyone should be able to find something they would be interested in. I ordered grilled lamb chops (can't remember the spanish name) and they were excellent and my husband ordered stuffed Quail which was definitely not my favorite at all but he enjoyed it. My #1 complaint is the prices. I knew going in that they were known to be expensive and I knew the plates were Tapas size but considering I can get an entire plate full of food at other restaurants for the prices they were charging for a VERY mini plate was somewhat annoying so next time I will probably return for Sangria only or if if someone else is treating :)

Great place to stop by on Tuesdays. Hoping to stop by soon! :) love the enviroment Inside you can choose to sit in the restaurant or lounge where they play live music.

Michael W.

The atmosphere is really intimate and cool. Live music was playing when we first walked in. We chose to sit in the main dining room so we could all chat without screaming. Their menu is enormous! I ordered all hot dishes (back side of the menu). I had the fish croquettas, calamari, five types of sausage, stuffed red peppers, and red snapper. The red snapper was a bit too salty. My favorite out of the dishes were the stuffed red peppers and the croquettas. I don't think I would come back here on any other day. We took advantage of the Tapas Tuesday deal which is $4 for a handful of tapas. If everything were at normal price, I would definitely feel ripped off for the portion size and taste of the food. My total for the 5 dishes and 3 Sangrias (which are also $4 each on Tuesdays) came to $40 which was great! Only because it was Tuesday though!!! Great place for a Tuesday night!

I ate at Ceviche last week fo rthe second time and it was just as good as I rememberd. The Ceviche de la Casa was incredible, as was the Gambas Romesco. Mejillones Ahumados and Costillas de Cordero were good but I don't think I'd order either one again. Of course the Sangria was incredible! The meal was delicious and I'd eat there every week if I could!

Ceviche is a nice place for a special night out. I've been here about 4 times now, mostly for Tapas Tuesdays, but also once for an event on a Saturday evening. Going earlier in the evening on a Tuesday for $4 sangria and $4 tapas is great! That is a lovely experience and it's not too busy if you get there before 7pm. The one time I went for a Saturday night event with friends was super busy, not ideal for me, but the restaurant staff were really good at trying to keep up with the big weekend crowd. There was also live music on stage which was fun. Overall I like the food and drinks at this place and the interior is impressive looking Spanish style dÃ©cor. I really like all of the shrimp tapas dishes that I have tried. The white sangria is different and refreshing with apple chunks in it. I like this place, but it can get really busy!

I wanted to share my incredible experience at your restaurant thanks to one of your employees, Crystal, at the inside bar. I was waiting for some friends and in the meantime decided to have a drink. As I walked up to the bar I was drawn by Crystal's warm and sincere smile. She was very knowledgable and helped me pick out the perfect wine! She recommended some great tapas as well. Restaurants are made and broken by its employees. Crystal is one of the makers! My wife and I look forward to returning.

Let me start by saying I was quite partial to Ceviche until lately I started observing a downturn at the restaurant. Previously, after waiting at our table for nearly 10 minutes to be acknowledged when the restaurant wasn't even packed we walked out and went across the street to The Dessert Lady for dinner. Once more recently, the service was not only unfriendly, but didn't care to even clear our dirty plates or provide us with the correct information or courtesy I would expect from any decent restaurant. I left wondering why do restaurants when they gain popularity loose their interest in running the place without any standards? Since when was 'just food' good enough to generate a loyal patronage? In this economy to be successful the food and service has to be exceptional or great. Otherwise, what's unique about it??

Love this place. Finally a good sangria in Orlando. Reminded me of Spain. Their bread is awesome. Good stuff I've had: Octopus ceviche, filetitos, mahi, mussels, manchego scallops, patatas bravas.. I can go on and on. Great place Tortilla espanola isn't as good as it should be however, and codfish app is not nearly worth the price. Although I think they took that off the menu now since they didn't get it right. Overall this is still one of my fav places around.

Nicole F.

I love this place. The menu is huge and the sangrias are delish!! I love the option of being able to sit and try a bunch of different little plates to share with a friend. The atmosphere is energetic with flamingo dancers that perform on stage and they have two pretty big bars to choose from. This is a great place to come with a group of people also. The food has always been good and there hasn't been anything that I didn't like so far. I like coming here before a concert or a game!

My co-workers and I came here on a Tuesday afternoon (Tapas Tuesday!). For 3/4 of us it was our first visit. Apparently, for first-timers it is a prerequisite that the entire menu be read aloud by the server. No one in my party is illiterate, so this seemed kind of unnecessary, especially since the menu is enormous. The Tapas Tuesday special includes 30 of the restaurant's tapas and glasses of sangria for $4. Ok - I love sangria, and everyone in my party ordered a glass. And everyone in my party seemed to enjoy their sangria, but has anyone else tried the red sangria and thought it tasted like garlic? I love sangria. I love garlic. I do not love garlic infused sangria. Maybe this was just my imagination. What was not my imagination, however, were the chipped glasses that we all received. Any restaurant with chipped glasses automatically gets points taken off. The tapas were above average. The espinacas (sautÃ©ed spinach with figs, honey, and garlic) was amazing! I cannot wait to make this at home. However, I was disappointed with the tortilla espaÃ±ola - it was cold upon arrival (I lived in Spain for a semester and never once was I served a cold tortilla!). Each of us ordered several tapas. Even though they came out in waves, we still did not have enough room at our incredibly tiny 3 ft x 3 ft table. Tapas are to be shared - this means lots of plates and passing around of dishes. In other words, not good for small tables. I'd like to come here again - the tapas selection is amazing and I definitely didn't have time to try everything that I would have liked to. I also want to give the sangria another shot. My boss (shout-out, Luis!!!) was the only one who tried the white sangria. We all noticed he had much more fruit in his than we did in our red sangria. He also seemed to enjoy it. I think I'll try that next time.

EDIT: So Ceviche used to be my favorite but lately I've noticed the quality go so down hill that it's gone from my favorite place to a place I never come to. Bottom line, the meats, seafood, and dessert are not worth the money The good from my previous post: They're Sangria is the best! The half pitcher is the perfect size to enjoy on a weekday night and the full pitcher is the best to start my weekend off with! While you wait for your food they bring bread out with a dip...warning this dip is the best but stays on your breath after your meal! Gum or mints are a must after. The place is sectioned off into two areas, one has live music and the other is like a normal restaurant area. I will say, I'm a sucker for live music! On some nights Ceviche has Spanish dancers doing traditional dances with the music. It's pretty loud, but hey if your on a date just another reason to lean in a little closer ;). The only downside is that this place is a little pricey, especially if you're getting multiple tapas.

Some friends were in town and we were trying to decide what to do for brunch. The wife mentioned that it was too bad that Ceviche was closed on Sundays. I decided to check anyways and was happy to discover that they've recently started doing Sunday brunch. It's a little confusing entering for the first time. We entered through the big set of doors next to the bar - where there is a small hostess station set up. No one was there, but there was a sign saying, "Please wait to be seated." No one was in the bar, but there were people in the main dining room, so we walked in there and stood around for a minute or so before someone stopped by and told us to seat ourselves. There was another entrance - leading directly into the main dining room from the sidewalk. People were entering there as well. The place was gorgeous. We spent a while just looking around marveling at the architecture and design of the place. It was our first visit to Ceviche, so we asked our waiter about portion sizes and suggestions. The regular tapas dishes should feed about half of a hungry person, so get a bunch and share. The breakfast/brunch items, however, were supposed to feed about a person each. The brunch menu is smaller than the regular menu, but there was still plenty to choose from. There are also bloody mary's, sangria (red or white) and mimosas all for $4 each. We had bloody mary's and sangrias to drink - and we were pretty amazed with how big - not to mention how great they were. We decided to each get a brunch item and a regular tapas item. Between us, we ordered eggs benedict, an omelet, a smoked salmon platter, patatas bravas, calamari, artichoke hearts and a seafood medley. Sorry, can't remember the specific names. Items come out as they're ready which theoretically makes for a nice pacing. It worked out fine for us. Our artichokes and seafood tapas came out first - followed by our brunch items and then finally the calamari and patatas. Those who got the eggs were absolutely floored by them. The smoked salmon platter was pretty awesome as well. Each of our tapas were excellent as well. The problem here was service. Everyone was really nice - but you couldn't find anyone. It looked like there were only two servers and a bartender working the floor. You know you're short-staffed when the assistant executive chef is walking around clearing tables. I spent at least half an hour with an empty water glass. It took 20 minutes for the waiter to swipe the cards come back with our credit card receipts. I'd like to think that during dinner or nights, they'd keep the place better staffed. I'd love to give Ceviche five stars, but the terribly slow service just does them in.

I've been here a few times and every time I go I always get dessert. The other tiny plates of food are delicious (but expensive) but dessert is where it is at. Get the Creme Brulee if you want something soft, creamy, and delicious. Words are hard to come by when I have this dessert but it truly is delectable. The hard crunchy shell on top and the velvety inside are perfect compliments to each other. In all honestly skip the fruit because the true prize here is the Brulee itself. Other than dessert though, everything here is quite pricey for even a tapas bar. So be prepared to spend a lot on tiny dishes if you are hungry. I say at best it's the perfect restaurant for a dessert after dinner.

After reading the reviews for this place, my boyfriend decided to take me here for my birthday. We went with another couple and had a great time. The pitchers of sangria are great! Since we ate a late lunch, this was a perfect idea-the tapas were great! Their menu easily has about 80 different tapas to choose from, starting with cold items and venturing into the warm, chicken, seafood and read meat. Between the 4 of us we had 5 different tapas--Ceviche de Atun, Banderillas Mixtas, Chuletas de Cordero, Codorniz Rellenos, and Vieiras Puerros. Everything that we had was delicious! The scallops practically melted on my tongue, and my friend ate the lamp chop right down to the bone. We were lucky enough to sit right next to the window and people watch, which if you have ever been to church street is an enlightening cultural experience. Our server was good, the only complaint that we had was that he was on the quiet side, so it was kind of hard to hear him. But he gave great suggestions! Apparently there is also an upstairs to this place as well. The only reason that I know that is because their was a wedding reception up there, so i didn't get to see it. This was a great experience and I can't wait to come back here many times and always try something different!

BRUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy wow... What an amazing addition to Orlando Brunch locations. It was a glorious day outside so we had the pleasure of sitting on Church enjoying the beautiful weather while throwing down some amazing food and drinks. This is my favorite place for white sangria so to have it for brunch was a huge plus. It was topped with a great amount of fresh fruit and it was just so lovely to sip on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. The menu was so enticing, I wanted to order 1 of everything since it was all new and yummy sounding. Our waitress did not even have a chance to sample the plates so really could not give recommendations, however, she inquired with the chef on all the questions we had and was extremely informative. Great service... HUGE plus. After a while of debating I went with a couple of goodies... French Toast (it's my staple) Sliced Potatoes Smoked Bacon Pork Sausage links Everything put a smile on my face! The french toast was quite small (thin bread but tons of banana and strawberries on top) so I am glad I ordered a bunch of small plates to taste. The sliced potatoes were, by far, my favorite dish. It was sliced heaven covered in cheese, butter and creme sauce... hello!! They were baked and basically just melted in your mouth. The sausage was made fresh and just delicious. The bacon was perfect, smoked to perfection. The french toast was not thick like other places... it was not regular bread. It was a nice change of pace and the flavor was so delicious. Rich but not overpowering. The syrup, I believe was almond, and it was such a nice touch to the fresh fruit. I was very impressed with the menu and service so you BET I will be adding this into my Brunch regimen!!

Despite no one served us when we sat down and waited patiently for about 15 minutes before I had to ask someone to help us, the food was very good and they treated us with fast service knowing they did not serve us promptly. I respected that. They were busy. I would definitely eat here again. Cannot remember exactly the name of what My BF and I ordered, but we ordered the cold tuna and salmon appetizer. (I am not a fan of raw fish but this was AMAZING, the salmon especially). I ordered the chicken (didn't like). I also ordered cooked salmon and loved it. He ordered oxtail and said it was okay. He also ordered the mahi (amazing). We ordered banana bread pudding bc they were out of the creme brÃ»lÃ©e, still very delicious. The sauce drizzled on top was perfection. And back to the beginning of the appetizers, the bread and dip was so delicious. I also ordered a side salad... Bomb.

Can't afford the time or air travel to visit Spain? NO BIGGIE - Check out Ceviche! This gorgeous restaurant is located in downtown Orlando off church street. I've been coming here for years but always stop in on Tuesday for their half off tapas. The other reviews talk more about food, etc, so I'll talk about the mood. When you walk in, your soul will be comforted by the dim lighting and gorgeous decor; the sweet scent of whatever is cooking will waft out and invite you to a gorgeous table where you most likely will ask "Sangria Porfavor!" The mood is romantic yet slightly rustic; it's what I would imagine Spain to feel like. The only reason why I'm giving this place 4 stars is because of the service - it's always a hit or miss thing. Last night, Linsey provided excellent service but the past few visits weren't as awesome. My favorite dish to devour is the Tres Leches - HANDS DOWN! It's the perfect combo of creamy, sweet and decadent.

Ceviche was very basic. Their signature dish, the "house ceviche" had no market fish as advertised on the menu. If you are going to name your restaurant after a dish- it should be amazing. This was bland and subpar at best. Next we ordered a Mojito with extra muddled mint. No real lime juice, just that nasty rose's lime juice. Mint was not muddled. I always finish my drinks and I couldn't even take another sip of this catastrophe of a Mojito. Moving forward, we decided to order the sardines. Probably could have gone to the local supermarket and bought a tin, thrown them on a thin cracker and served it as a dish. The deviled eggs... Where to begin? I believe they actually went to the devil himself to prepare these. If you can eat a handball, that's what these eggs would taste like. Very rubbery and overall no bueno as the spaniards would say. Since we clearly hate ourselves, we decided to continue ordering and settled on the garlic shrimp and crab cake. The shrimp came out in a wrought iron skillet, trying to look official, but ultimately was just 6 frozen shrimp, popped in a microwave for 30 seconds and dropped into chopped garlic and red pepper flakes. Bit into one. Spit it out. The end. Crab cake looked promising but was luke warm and the sauce made no sense. But!, our waitress was sweet, and the club soda was amazing. So was whatever dipping sauce they used for the bread- we tried to drown every other dish in it. To be very honest, we would sincerely love an apology from the chef.

Jamon Serrano was unacceptable- 80% fat on a cut? Would you serve that to your own guests! Probably not. Don't try to pass it off to the customers if you wouldn't take it yourself. "The cut came in that way". Ok. So you're not discriminating about what you serve. What's going in your other dishes, hmmm? But the bread is really good.

Troy T.

Although I read a lot of mixed reviews I decided to give Ceviche a try. The atmosphere is amazing and definitely makes a great date spot. The menu is extensive, however, although the menu items are upscale certain items we ordered lacked in proper preparation. Sometimes when a menu is too extensive it becomes difficult to execute consistently and I feel that is the case here. The top shelf margarita I ordered was average and reminded me of many of the chain family dining Tex-Mex restaurants I have visited.

For dinner on my first night in Orlando, my guy brought me to a place he knew I'd like in Downtown Orlando. We both love seafood and trying new food, he loves it when I pick new things to try. We wanted tapas and drinks and took a seat at the crowded bar. The restaurant interior fits the Latin vibe. To drink I ordered a Brazilian Caipirinha goo.gl/Bp53o , my guy ordered a Mahou beer. The extensive menu is a bit much, but I stuck to start with two dishes. He let me choose so I ordered one Ceviche and the Mahi Mahi de papel. *Ceviche de la Casa: The full mix of ceviche in a tomato based sauce, reminiscent of a cocktail of sorts. Good, served in a large martini over a bed of spring greens. It was pretty good, but either needed a lemon or spice kick in my opinon. goo.gl/IALth *Mahi Mahi de Papel: I ordered this because in its simplicity, this is a good idea. Mahi cooked in parchment with vegetables, steamed and cooked together. I like this method and will have to try this again soon in my cooking. What I was unsure of was why there were grill marks inside that were not from the paper. I guess the fish was pre-grilled and then steamed. None the less it was good and a healthy option for a small plate. goo.gl/3hXKC After a couple dishes and a coupld drinks, we were ready to move on to the next spot.

Ceviche is a great restaurant with great food. That being said, I was very disappointed with dinner tonight. We sat in the bar, which was relatively empty for a Friday night and ordered a half pitcher of red sangria. We were mistakenly brought white sangria, but the issue was easily resolved. The real problem was with our entree. We ordered three tapas dishes including the goat cheese, a mixed kabob, and tempura fried asparagus. The goat cheese and the kabob were fantastic. However, we never received the asparagus dish. It was only after we had almost finished our other two selections that I mentioned something to our server. It was at that time we were told that the kitchen was out of the asparagus and we would need to order something else. Had we been told that the asparagus was unavailable when we ordered, or shortly after, we would have been able to order something else. Instead, we were left hanging until I finally mentioned something to the staff. I typically enjoy Ceviche and I'll give it another chance, but tonight was less than stellar.

Ceviche gets five stars for consistent tastiness, yummy drinks, and super cool, historic decor. Amazingly high wooden ceilings overhead, pretty Spanish hanging lights, and classic mahogany EVERYWHERE adorn this Church St staple that has a become a favorite over my last year in Orlando. The first time I ate here, I really liked it, but had no idea how often i would be back! It's really the perfect spot to take visiting friends or family or to just grab a small bite before a night out. A sure staple is the Patata Bravas, which I describe as a potato version of bang bang shrimp. Similar spicy, cream sauce adorning warm and crispy potato chunks. My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE thing here is the escargot though. I can't remember the exact menu name, but it is served in a sherry tomato sauce with spinach inside miniature puff pastries. Holy amazing. The sauce itself is worth coming back for, and I always request extra bread for dipping. I tried this dish once on a whim and will never go back without ordering one or two for the table. Ceviche also has a tasty drink list with their super popular red and white sangrias and numerous margarita variations. They have a full bar, so you can get your vodka sodas as well, but I usually try to be adventurous and try one of their in-house concoctions. Also, side note: I hate flan. It's like tasteless bland gelatin that just makes me want to gag. Not the case with Ceviche's flan! A friend insisted that we order it with espressos for dessert, and I was super impressed! It was flavorful with a great texture, more like a Creme Brulee than the fatty blob of nothing I always remembered trying. So kudos to Ceviche for changing my outlook there. Ceviche may not have been a total five stars the first time I ate here, but their fun atmosphere and consistently awesome eats have definitely landed them a permanent top spot for me. Also, they have live Spanish dancers on the weekends. Super fun! :)

Tried Ceviche last night for my birthday with some friends and it was my first visit. The food was very good, nothing I had wasn't good. The only negative was our server wasn't the greatest. It took a good 15-20 minutes to get our drinks and then another 10 mins to order and she wasn't very attentive through the meal. Overall, excellent food. Service, not so great.

This restaurant is a very cool building inside. I think it was built out of the old railroad station. I tried making reservations over the phone, but was told that they do not take them. When we first arrived at the restaurant there was a little over an hour wait, so we sat at the huge bar. I expected a wait because it was a Saturday night, but then we ended up being seated around 9:30 or so, which was annoying. The margaritas were delicious and it was a very fun atmosphere. We were hoping to see the flamenco dancers, but I guess we weren't there at the right time. The restaurant was really dim inside and it was almost too dark for me, personally. The food was amazing though!

A friend and went to Ceviche Tapas Bar for the Tuesday Happy Hour. We were advised that we can sit anywhere around the bar area. The areas around the bar were crowded so we decided to go ahead and sit down at the area across from the bar. A waiter came over to us and we ordered the "sangria" that we had heard so much about. We then took our time looking at the menu. After picking out six items off the menu, we placed our orders. After putting our order in for glasses of wine, we decided we should have ordered a pitcher. As we dined on the delicious treats that were brought out to us, we decided we definitely would come back again.

Stopped by here for dinner before a show at Dr Philips Center. The drinks were good and strong....can't remember their names....maybe because they were so strong, lol! We ordered the Patatas bravas, Piquillos Rellenos, Gambas al ajillo, and Champinones de sevilla. Our favorites were the rellenos and champinones. Both were delicious. We couldn't stay for the flamenco because we had to get to our show, but I think that would've been nice to see. The only thing we didn't like is that we were at a little table on the side, so our waitresses (we had 2) kept forgetting about us. That was quite annoying. We might've ordered more drinks and maybe dessert if they had remembered to check on us....

This place could get a five because we got married in the upstairs room and it was amazing! But in terms of our normal overall experience, I would say about a three. We've eaten at this location's bar. There were some good bites and the service was okay. I think their strength is really in their catering potential. It is also on church street which is a bummer. No joke, after our wedding, we pulled up our cars to load in things and a drunk person got into my sister's car, closed the door, and acted as though he was going to drive away. Eat at your own risk!

My husband and I came here for a family members wedding and thought it was great. I mean we are used to the big NY weddings (only because we are from here), but we both really enjoyed the ambiance offered here. The restaurant was not hard to find, it's on a main street (Church St) in Orlando and has a huge municipal parking lot right up the street. The place was closed down for the wedding cocktail hour. We cocktailed in the main restaurant room where there were many different awesome craft beers, good tapas appetizers and a stage with entertainment. The wedding moved upstairs to this beautiful cozy intimate room with a sprawling balcony for those who needed to take a breath of fresh air throughout the night. The food was offered buffet style, which isn't for everybody, but for my husband and some more of his family members being able to double fist your plates or go up for more servings was right up their alley. It was a small wedding by some standards with maybe 100 people (I could be wrong there), but it was a beautiful event. I think it might be one of Orlando's hidden gems if you're looking for a nice event space that will impress your guests.

I'm not if a tapas fan since 1) I don't like to share food and 2) those types of restaurants usually don't give you much. This place was different though, it gave you descent portion size (for the Tues half off prices) and a nice ambiance. Not a big fan of the 24hrs of reserved seating for parties of 6 or more. Especially when the music is a little too loud towards the stage. Otherwise it was good food, descent sangria, and our waiter was prompt. Such a classy place should probably poor each drink even if you purchase the pitcher...just sayin.

Yummy sangria, well-prepared food, good service, nice atmosphere and open late (I think until midnight during the week)! Have never had a bad experience here, whether at the bar (they have two very nice ones) or at a table. $4 sangria and tapas on Tuesday and half off wine and sangria on Wednesdays, including the huge pitchers! Can't beat that! If you do get a pitcher of sangria, make sure you stir it well. Our first couple glasses tasted like just red wine, but by the time we made it to the bottom of the pitcher it was almost too sweet to drink. Ironically, I'm not a huge fan of the actual ceviche here, but I do really like a lot of their chicken, mushroom, and seafood dishes. -Triligia de Chocolates - chocolate mousse, rum sauce, berries... AMAZING! Get this. Favorite thing so far. May have something to do with my addiction to chocolate. - Ceviche de Atun (tuna) and the Ceviche de Gambas (shrimp) - found both of these underwhelming. I would like more spice, cilantro, and lime juice. I prefer the tuna over the shrimp, think it has a little more flavor. - Mahi-Mahi al Papel - the fish was good, but maybe a tinnnnnny bit overcooked. My favorite thing about this was the mushrooms and onions that soaked up all the yummy sauce. -Pollo al Jerez- grilled chicken with awesome pesto cream sauce. Also a tad overcooked, but the sauce won me over. -Gambas al Ajillo- garlic shrimp, can't really go wrong with that. -Pollo al Ajillo - another good chicken dish I will be back!

There was HAIR IN MY FOOD. Do not go here. The waiter was nonchalant about it and didn't take care of the entire bill. Ceviche is overrated and incredibly bland. I would give this place zero stars if I could.

Great atmosphere for date, a night out, meeting gathering or formal events. Perfect location for partying afterwards. Late hours means a great time hanging out downtown late night with drinks and good food without the dance club scene. Tip: Tuesday's specials are half off a special menu of tapas (their most popular ones all good). And fresh made sangria is the best in the area. Downside: might get busy and long wait time even if you have reservation. We got seated 45 minutes after our group reservation. And paid parking is required.

Food sounded great. Nice wine list. But NO service. Many servers walked past us and never bothered to greet us. We were apologized to on our way out the door, so obviously someone knew we were there. VERY disappointed!

I have a hard time giving this place more than 3 stars because their service is not the best. Specially during the weekends. When they get busy is hard to get service that deserves a good tip. And I am talking about the bar/flamenco area. Be ready to either wait a lot. Get bad service. Or not being able to see the show because there are no tables I'm giving three stars because usually the food is good. It used to be better 2 years Ago, the quality of food and all. One of the few reasons why I come back is because they have a really good sparkling sangria and my mom likes the flamenco show. The show is ok if you have never seen it or you have seen it 2 times. I have seen it multiple times and it's always the same. Even the songs are the same. So predictable...

My family and I reside in New Jersey.. We flew down south for the holidays to Orlando. For Christmas Eve.. We called in to reserve for a party of 12 late in the evening. Very courteous customer service. Not to mention that everything we had ordered was superb. We ordered seafood paella, tuna ceviche, and tortilla espanola. Lets not forget to mention the sangrias are on point and refreshing! Very satisfied with this gem situated in Orlando.

I have visited this restaurant once before and fell in love with their vegetable paella. I noticed today's paella was very different than the last one. They had limited zucchini and excessive green beans with. I flavor. The rice had crunchy areas too but it wasn't the bottom of the pot area that Hispanics call concon. Today I was able to try the Sangria Margarita. That tasted very good. My daughter had the chicken, steak, chorizo, and veggie skewer. All tasted good except the steak. It was too raw for her liking and she's typically the medium steak kind of girl. I guess the end result was less than medium so she left it to the side.

My fiance and I decided to visit Ceviche on a recent trip to Orlando (my stepmom recommended it) and we are glad that we did! Not only is Ceviche located in a great area in DT Orlando, but the building itself is really cool. The interior is dimly lit and it has a great sultry vibe. The staff were friendly, but the service should have been faster. We sat at the bar (no other seats were available for the show), but we had to wait quite a while for our drink orders despite the proximity to the bartenders... The place was busy, but the bartenders were not overrun. The drinks were on the weak side as well, so that was a bit disappointing. Having said my piece about the drinks being weak and having to wait for them longer than what would have been a reasonable wait time, the rest of our experience there was great. The musicians (guitarists and vocals) were excellent, the sound quality in the room was great, and the dancers were a joy to watch. I had goosebumps. Great show! I would recommend Ceviche's flamenco show for sure and would love to come back and try their food sometime, but I will probably stick with wine instead of the sangria or cocktails.

Love, Love, Love this place! I have been to a lot of restaurants in central florida and this is by far my favorite!!! I love the staff, the wait staff, everything! The food is AH-MAZING! The patatas Bravas are my absolute favorite! The bread with pesto is superb. I love the rice and the shrimp is amazing. I will always come here! My absolute favorite restaurant ever!

I'm only giving a one star because there is not option for none but let's start from when I walked in there was no hostess so I had to basically sit my self when I order my drink it came with 2 flies!! Disgusting!!! The plate are basic and bland I even had to ask for silverware Bottom don't come here it sucks and I hate it

We were so excited about going here after we read the great reviews. The atmosphere and sangria were amazing but the service was horrible and the food was a disappointment. I would definitely go back to have a drink and listen to live music but not to eat.

Kraig K.

Hard for me to remember after all the Sangria, but I come here every time I visit Orlando downtown. Amazing menu and crazy-wide space. I judge every tapas place by the Patatas Bravas, and they have the best I've ever had. Come here when you need a respite from the throngs of drunken zombies on Church St.

Atmosphere, drinks, and food top notch. The manager even gave us an impromptu behind the scenes ghost tour on a busy Friday night. Will definitely be coming back again and again!

Octopus ceviche was delicious! It was chunks of meat and was like sashimi. Loved the free olive pate w French bread!

Rachel M.

My review is based off of an experience I had for a private party! Wonderful location, right in Downtown Orlando, with a great venue that is topped off with awesome ambiance. I had to have the sangria which I heard such awesome things about and it absolutely met my expectations. The white sangria wasn't too sweet and had a great mix of fruits! The food was Spanish style yellow rice and chicken. The desserts, creme brulee, tiramasu and chocolate cake. My favorite was the tiramasu which I recommend. If you're looking for a dinner party location, consider Ceviche for delicious menus and a great view off their balcony.

Nicole R.

My husband and I debated between Ceviche and the Rusted Spoon, and we're really glad we came here instead. Nothing out of the ordinary with service, sat on the deck, which was fine except that the train passed 4 times and was really loud. If we're ever in Orlando again and revisited, we'd definitely sit inside. Each dish we ordered was delicious and well prepared. We give Ceviche 5 stars!
(5)
Brenna P.

this place can be amazing. If you know what you're doing... First- do NOT sit in the restaurant. Service is slow, the wait staff is harassed, and there is always a wait. Sit in the bar! The food still comes a bit slow, but you've got the band and the friendly bar tenders and SANGRIA. Best deal is Tuesdays with $4 tapas and $4 Sangria. It's a great place to start downtown.

Devin J.

I have been looking to try this place ever since I returned to Florida. Can you say best Sangria ever?! Well you should because this place has it!!! I have been to many a restaurant all over the country and NO PLACE makes sangria like Ceviches. The food is also very authentic and I love the decor. Totally reminds me of when I visited Barcelona. The paella was fantastic!!! Not just rice in a pan. It had a wonderful flavor and texture. Only reason it was not a five star was because there was only 1 bartender due to a call out and he was slammed. He was still good but could have used some help.

Eat at the restaurant side if you are on a date and after, transition yourself on over to the live music/bar side for some salsa dancing. VERY NICE PLACE. Ask for Daniel or Alberto LOL...although the entire staff is GREAT! the pitcher of sangria, YUMMY! Paella rice, mussels, the ceviche tuna serve in a Martin glass....everything we ordered was awesome! This is by far, one of the best Spanish/Latino fusion restaurants in the downtown area. You won't be disappointed.

This is my second Yelp adventure in Orlando, and my Yelp-dar (Yelp radar) narrowed itself down to this restaurant after reading some great reviews. Me and my best friend went there late last night for yet another single ladies night out. It was around 11pm when we arrived. We sat on the bar side to some great live music. That 3-piece band was jammin'! I'm a musician myself so I can appreciate their skills, I felt like I was in an upscale restaurant near the Panama Canal! So we sat close to the stage at the bar. We got a menu fairly quickly from our very attentive bartender. I ordered a Blueberry Caipirinha, and a Ceviche De La Casa to start us off. The drink was amazing with fresh blueberries inside, and the ceviche was so fresh we both commented it tasted like they fished right out of the ocean and put it on the plate to serve to us! We split our entrees, I had beef tenderloin with a mushroom/ cream sauce, she had oxtails! My tenderloin was so tender! Not chewy at all, and the sauce complimented very well! Her oxtails were huge! And they had a nice crisp to the outside, but fell right off the bone! Flavor was off the wall amazing! The portions were fairly small, so we ordered dessert to top it off. We had the Torta Valenciana (chocolate cake), and it was muy delicioso! Decadent, but not too rich that it was overbearing. Perfect for 2! We WILL be back! Oh and btw, the prices were surprisingly reasonable throughout the entire menu. Very affordable!

Vincent P.

Our waiter was nice, and very thorough when it came to explaining menu items. He had quite a few recommendations and didn't seem bothered that we took a whole to order. First, their ceviche is not at all what I was expecting. It was basically marinated tuna (we had the ceviche atun). It was not the liquidy, limey, raw seafood dip-like dish I was expecting. I've never had ceviche served as simply the marinated meat component sans all the other goodness. The second dish was a pork shank- unlike the tuna, this was quite good and we enjoyed it. The only detractor was the price. We also had roast duck . . . maybe I'm just weird, but tough meat bathed in a chocolate sauce is simply not appetizing. Once again, the price was extremely disappointing when compared to the product. Four pathetic slices of sub-par duck. Our waiter and the pork bump this place up to four stars.

Carden B.

This place was great! I visited on a day trip to Orlando with my friend. The ceviche was good, but the real attraction is all the interesting tapas. Our waitress, Jerrica, was super attentive and always on top of it. She gave great suggestions and made sure my friend and I had a great time. We look forward to coming back again.

Omg sangria! Went for the first time this past weekend and we are in love. The sangria as excellent as was the food. We were part of a large party and had a sampling of a number of dishes and everything we had was fresh and delicious. I can say I loved the escargot and the paella. The server was great and put up with our group's moderately drunken antics with ease. We sat on the restaurant side but managed to catch a little bit of the show while we waited for our table. We will be returning in the next couple of weeks and sitting in the flamenco lounge to catch the show next time. I read that a couple people had problems getting their checks split up but we had no such trouble, in fact our server didn't even have to ask. She came out with our checks and let us know that if we had an issues that she would correct them but all of them were spot on. Thank you ceviche!

I'm an avid traveller and tonight I was lucky to have one of those meals that will keep Orlando and Ceviche on my radar for quite some time! Jess K. greeted and served us promptly and with great recommendations - I'd be hard pressed to find a better server in my recent experience. I can't wait to come back! Maybe my flight will be delayed so I can return for Tapas Tuesday!

Patatas bravas. Remember that when you visit Ceviche Tapas Bar & Restaurant & make sure to order them -- they're incredible! So are the grilled vegetables, the cheese platter, the tres leches cake, the sangria...I can go on & on. Tapas Tuesday makes all these delicious items a portion of the cost, really guys, this place is legit. Great food, good drinks, awesome ambiance & incredible location. Love Ceviche Tapas!

Single and ready to...eat a good meal alone on a Saturday night? Well, that's what I was doing as I traveled for work and I found my way to Ceviche. While a table would have been an obnoxious wait, the loophole for you groups of one, two, or three would be to seat yourself at the bar. It was self-seating and I received my food within 15 minutes. Consolation prize for me: I had the opportunity to eavesdrop on the awkward conversation of a first date happening next to me. The food was good. I got a simple appetizer and the chorizo stuffed red peppers. That plus two drinks satiated my ravenous appetite. The bartenders were great and the service was way faster than expected. While I was certainly enjoying the riveting conversation of the couple (during which they were differentiating between a stripper and a gogo dancer), I was pleasantly surprised when they were drowned out by the live Spanish music that began at around 9:30 (Note: this was the bar in the room to the left as you walk in. There is also a bar in the room to the right without a stage). About 30 minutes later the musicians were joined by traditional Spanish dancers. All in all a positive experience.

Less than impressed with the tapas here. The bravas were soggy, the serrano was a little dry. That was enough for me to walk away not so satisfied. The sangria was decent and the music was nice, but that's about it. Probably good for large groups where you don't care about the quality of food, and focus on drinking and good company.

Came here on a Wed night before a show at Amway Center. A lot of good vegetarian choices, but some didn't live up to their menu description - the best were patatas bravas and berenjenas asadas. Reasonably priced (sometimes we can order $100 worth of Tapas and still not be full but that wasn't the case here). We didn't have reservations and got in fairly quickly. Our waitress had a shadow who was learning so I don't know if maybe thats why she was a little slow or distracted but otherwise it was a good experience eating here. Nice atmosphere - I didn't try the Sangria but my friends said it was yummy - its half off on Wednesdays though :) Would check out some other tapas places around Orlando before coming back but wouldn't regret coming back

Wow, cool place, with live music too. We had Jenny a super waitress. Food came out quick and hot from the kitchen. We had the Espinacas, Calamares Rellenos, the Huevos Rellenos (our least favorite of the bunch) and the Puerco Salamanca, San Jacobos and Flan Lorena to top things off. We filled up on all these for under $50. Walked to this place from our B&B (Dr. Phillips House) and the whole area down there was quite nice.

Ricky A.

When we first arrived everyone was very hospital and we had no wait. However, we waited about 15 minutes for our server to free us and take our drink and food order. He said the table was hidden and the host did sit us in a weird section. Overall the food was great and the drinks made everything so much better. If you haven't been, I would definitely recommend checking out. Especially if you are a seafood lover! Enjoy!

The ambiance of this place is really nice. The location is prime on Church street. There is not bad table in this restaurant. The white sangria is so very good, I really could not stop drinking them. We had a variety of tapas and they were all very tasty. Two that really stuck in my mind were the oxtails with potatoes and guacamole. This place is great for date night night your boo or a night out with your crazy friends as we did. Like the fact you can order several tapas, share and enjoy.

Best tapas I've had since I studied abroad in Spain. The service was excellent the restaurant is so romantic. (Too bad I was with family) It is a perfect spot for a date. The lights were low. The candles were lit. The live music was great. The sangria was delish. Awesome. Can't wait to come back. It was like a combo of Barcelona and Santander I my mind.

Such a fantastic place! A shame I didn't know about it while I lived in Orlando for two years. I'm in town for a week, so I came here on a Thursday night, we didn't realize they close early at 11 pm so we had to speed it up a little. Great selection of tapas to appeal to every person's diet from vegetarian to meat to seafood. My favorites were the pollo al jerez, ceviche de atun, gambas y guacamole, and championes de sevilla. Personally I would skip the asparagus tempura as there was not much flavor to it. Definitely enough for two people to share, and they give you these bread loafs with this olive oil dipping concoction that was fantastic. We ended up getting a small pitcher of the top shelf Sangria that was truly some of the best I have had in years and years. Although it is a bit pricey, not out of this world pricey, but we spent about 75 dollars between two people. It was definitely worth it as the food was fresh and the drinks were great. As an added bonus there were two flamenco singers, no dancers, but the two gentleman brought along a nice ambience to the whole experience!

Jen G.

Ok, so I came here on a Wednesday night... no music or dancing... So my focus was on the food! Ambiance - it's a nice place. A bit dark, but that gives it a romantic feeling. Since there wasn't anything going on this night it was pretty dead. Drinks - I opted for their special of 1/2 glasses of wine. That was a good deal indeed! My cohorts had margaritas and other libations. My BF who LOVES margarita's really enjoyed theirs. So, that is a good sign for sure! So why 2 stars then? Well, 2 stars means 'Meh. I've experienced better'. And, well, the truth is that I have. I ordered their shrimp ceviche. Meh, I've experienced better. We ordered the grilled octopus - I'm not a huge octopus fan, but Meh. I've experienced better We had the paella vallenciana. Meh I've experienced better (actually, while I loved all the seafood and it did have good flavor - it was EXTREMELY salty - we ate it, but amongst three of us didn't finish it and I know it was mainly because the salt was off putting. We didn't send it back since we didn't want to wait the XX minutes for a new one) My BF had the filletito and he said it was good. I didn't try it. The bread with the pesto/chimichurri type sauce was good though! Warm bread is always a great thing! So, would I say I'd NEVER go back... I wouldn't say that. Next time I'd have to get the music/dancing for sure... I'd have a couple of margaritas... some bread w/ butter and maybe share something else. I'd give it another shot. But, would I go out of my way to eat here? No. If I didn't care if there was music/dancing, would I go there? No. Downtown has a decent selection of restaurants and bars... For me to go to Ceviche it would really be more for an overall entertainment factor than anything else.

The place lives up to its name; the ceviche is absolutely delicious. You wouldn't feel out of place dressing up for a classy night on the town or just a casual swing-through. It can be a bit pricey, but it's worth it for fresh, quality seafood

We stopped in Friday night for a late dinner. There were some highs and some lows. Three stars is right where it should be. We sit down and my mom immediately notices the glass that holds the spoons on the table is dirty. She isn't too excited about the plates either. So the server removed the glass with the spoons but never brought us more, so no spoons for scooping. We ordered a small pitcher of sangria and it was a good amount and was pretty tasty. A highlight of the night for sure with good fruit, wine and cordial balance. The meat and cheese board was ok. but the pieces are not cut for sharing for more than two. a bit of extra work but the flavor of the offerings were great. My mom really enjoyed the cheese. We ordered the meat skewer platter. TERRIBLE. Only one of the sausage cooked decently the other sausage disgustingly soggy. The chicken was COLD. The steak was tender. Only meat worth putting in my mouth and one of the most expensive dishes. There was some type of sauce (sorta?) and it did nothing for the meat. We all were disappointed. Croqueta was great. Crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. They were satisfying. Boyfriend was happy. Portabello mushroom stuffed with cheeses was very very good. We love mushrooms and my mom wanted a veggie option. We ordered the house ceviche because it well ,duh, we are at a place named ceviche. It was light and flavorful. Veggies crispy and selfish well marinated. We ordered an extra entree of escargot. I am torn about this dish. The snails were cooked lovely and the sauce was ok. It was served in prefrozen phyllo shells, like you buy in the frozen section in the store. That is unacceptable to me. Even when I make pigs in the blanket at home, I butter sheets of phyllo and cut them myself. They were also soggy from all the sauce. These could have been better if they just cared enough to try. I am pretty sure we had another dish I cannot remember, but that tells you about that. I would look at the menu online to jog my memory but ceviche's website is not properly loading... Service was kinda ok, but not really. Waters not refilled, etc. She was a bit absent. Her suggestions were some of our least favorite dishes but the most expensive on the menu... We did order desert, the bread pudding and the creme brulee. Both of which the table really liked. My sister didn't like the creme brulee as much as me, my mom and boyfriend but she did like that that is came with fresh fruit. I LOVED that the creme brulee was in its own dark chocolate cup. It was great. My boyfriend who always loves a good bread pudding really liked theirs and I agree it was good. Not too dry but not overly mushy. I wish they executed some of their tapas dishes as well as they did the desert and drinks. I can see why It is popular and it is a fun place. I won't be running back. Maybe if I lived in Orlando full time I would stop by more but it didn't wow me by any stretch.

Kristy S.

OMG! Can I just say that I really love this place?!?! Tuesdays are best for their $4 Tapas Tuesday. Oh, I could order most of the menu! Just order everything, but my top recommendations are the lamb shank, escargot, ceviche de pulpo, baba ganoush, seared tuna, rabo de Toro, and croquetas, just to name a few. A MUST is the sangria, whether you order just a glass or a pitcher for yourself. It's the BEST sangria I've ever had and if you do get a pitcher , they mix it up for you right at your table. There are usually musical or dance performers during evening hours that complete the Spanish romantic ambience. It's a great place for date night.

I wish I could give this restaurant 4 stars, since it's normally deserving of a solid 4. But last night's service had a couple of disappointing notes. I came here at 5:45 with a group of 9 colleagues to dine before an 8 PM show at the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center. It's a pretty ideal restaurant for a pre-show dinner, since the ambiance is a bit more upscale than most restaurants downtown... and the food is delicious and comes out of the kitchen pretty fast. We were very clear that we would need to be wrapped up soon enough to make it to our show... and that (unfortunately) we would need separate checks. We were served and done eating by about 7 PM. Great timing. However, our server seemed to have issues with splitting our bill. He disappeared to split our checks... and we could see him at the computer, but it took about 30 minutes to split the checks. We paid out ASAP and were out the door by 7:40. So unfortunately, we had to scramble to get to the Dr. Phillips Center before show began. Not ideal. Despite those issues, I liked the server. He's probably excellent with smaller tables/parties. He was REALLY nice and gave excellent recommendations. I think he may have just been a bit in the weeds last night. It happens to the best of servers. Also, there was a lack of pre-bussing. Empty beverage glasses sat on our table for most of the service... and we had empty plates that cluttered the table. Just a small issue, but it makes a difference at a tapas restaurant. It's nice to get a little extra elbow room when possible since the table can quickly fill up with plates. On to the positive. The food was yummy! I ordered the sparkling sangria, the hummus and the guacamole with shrimp. All delicious choices. Other folks in my party ordered calamari, eggplant, spinach, flan and tres leches, amongst other selections. The eggplant was probably the biggest hit. It was thinly sliced, lightly fried and served with a honey dipping sauce. Surprisingly, my absolute favorite dish was the spinach! Sauteed with honey, figs, garlic and shallots, it was simple but flavorful and made a lasting impression. I'll be sure to order that EVERY time I return. Another highlight is the overall decor and ambiance. The decor is colorful and Spanish-influenced, with a fun play on textures and antique-like furnishings. The lighting is very dim (makes it hard to read the menu), but the ambiance sets the tone for a romantic evening for two or a cozy dinner with close friends. Overall, this is a great restaurant. It pains me to give it fewer than 4 stars. But I'll definitely be back. Just with a smaller group.

'This seems like an interesting place to eat' was the thought in my head as I was walking downtown Orlando with my fiancÃ©. We were pleasantly greeted by the hostess. As she walked us to the table I was dazzled by the decor of the place. We were seated in the darkest part of the restaurant (either because we were the ugliest couple in the restaurant or because they thought we were movie stars and we wanted our privacy). I had the upgraded sangria. It was damn good. So good that I ordered two. We ordered several different dishes. We started off with the ENSALADA MEDITERRANEA which was delicious! The GAMBAS A LA PARILLA were also right up there in taste and portion size. The SOLOMILLO A LA PARILLA and the BANDERILLAS MIXTAS were also ordered but we really didn't care for them all that much. There was another dish that we ordered, but I think by that time the sangria had kicked in. Our waitress was friendly and very knowledgeable about the gluten free items on the menu. We couldn't have done it without her! If you're going to be in Orlando and are in the mood for tapas, Ceviche is worth the stop.

The hubs and I had a date night for his birthday this past August, and we decided to venture downtown. I had wanted to visit Ceviche for some time now, after hearing great things about this spot from folks on Twitter and Yelp. I love downtown Orlando, the location of Ceviche in the Historic Church Street Station is a favorite spot. I worked as a teenager in the Church Street Exchange, I attended many wedding receptions in this building and have fond memories with family here. The restaurant is just gorgeous inside. The dining room features a chapel ceiling from a 16th century abby and the dark wood, tile work, and architecture are just stunning. Our table was next to a large banquet table and a tall glass cabinet that faced nearly floor to ceiling windows that offered a view of Church Street. Tiled pillars are located throughout the restaurant and are just a beautiful feature. Okay, let's get to the eats! Fresh bread and a pesto dip was presented with our drinks. Our first tapas frias was tabla de quesos, aged manchego, mahon, tetilla and cabrales cheeses with sliced fruit, including grapes and figs. Oh how I loved these cheeses! I ate some of the softer cheeses with the extra bread we ordered ('cause I'm all about those carbs, 'bout those carbs, 'bout those carbs). From the pescados selection we ordered caracoles a la vasca, sautÃ©ed escargot, spinach, cream and Spanish sherry in a vol-au-vent pastry. Light and delicious! From the vegetables selection, we ordered Portobello relleno. An incredibly large Portobello mushroom was stuffed with spinach and manchego cheese, and drizzled with sherry. Excellent! Definitely more than one person could enjoy this dish. From the carnes selection, we chose the banderillas mixtas, an assortment of skewered grilled tenderloin, mild chorizo, marinated chicken and vegetables. I would definitely recommend these as there is enough to share. The chorizo was fantastic! We selected two desserts, one for the birthday boy, a lovely crema catalana, a traditional Spanish crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e in a dark chocolate shell, served with seasonal berries and a sprig of mint drizzled with chocolate. I ordered flan, a popular Spanish custard, which was also served with seasonal berries, a sprig of mint, and drizzled with caramel and chocolate. We very much enjoyed our visit to Ceviche and look forward to returning and sampling more dishes. We hope to bring family and friends so we can share a greater selection. So much fun!

Well, the red wine was good. The shrimp ceviche was served in a martini glass and was fresh ingredients but small portions. The Mahi Mahi in parchment paper was light and tasty but not really full of flavor. The service was good, they let me charge my phone at hostess stand which was critical for us. The most flavorful item was definitely the BREAD pudding. Nice size portion and great sauce and no raisins!!

Good Sangria and great food. We had a variety of different things (about 12 dishes between 6 of us). All were fantastic, specifically the portobello mushroom and potatoes (not sure what they were called, but they had a tasty mayo sauce). Paella was great too but wasn't as big as I thought it would be. Overall a great place!

Ceviche is a great place to go with a group of friends for a night of food and drinks. On this particular occasion, my girlfriend and I were seeing a show at the nearby Amway Arena and wanted to have dinner beforehand. We came shortly after the restaurant opened at 5 and the service was top notch from start to finish. We were still deciding on which tapas to order but we went ahead and asked our server to put on our order for the Paella (negra) we wanted as it can take a while to prepare. We then decided to started of with a half pitcher of their top shelf red sangria (wow!) and ordered the cheese & dried meats board (tabla mixta) as well as the veal stuffed squid (calamares rellenos). While waiting we enjoyed the warm bread and dipping sauce which I can only describe as a cilantro pesto. The tabla mixta had 3 of each meat and cheese variety and the the order of squid also had 3 single servings. The meat and cheeses were a great appetizer that went well with the fruits and figs they came with. The stuffed squid was delicious and substantial enough to sustain us while we waited for our paella. The black squid ink paella is a must try at this place. It provides a nice brightness to the wealth of seafood mixed in with the rice. I suggest tossing it around a bit as the heat from the pan is still cooking the seafood and rice. Fair warning though, the portion size could easily provide a taste for 6-7 and a meal sized helping for 5 people. At this point we have a ton of food left on our table but we wanted to try the bread pudding. No ragrets... Not even one letter. Epic meal time was achieved. On our way to the Amway we encountered some homeless people under the I-4 overpass that we handed out leftovers to. Food this good was meant to be shared after all.

My favorite drink is the red sangria. And for the food portion the squid ink paella hit my spot!

Yes yes and yes! I believe Shane was our server and he knocked it out of the park! On point with everything. Too much to describe what we had here but a recommendation, as your being seated just look at what everyone's eating. I made a fake trip to the bathroom to checkout what else people were trying. The pulpo was delightful as well make sure to order a side of the saffron rice.

Yum yum yum... We came here for dinner and just fell in love. They have a huge menu, many traditional Spanish tapas, and some that I have never heard of. Our waiter was excellent, friendly and very attentive. He knew the entire menu inside and out and gave us recommendations from each section. I don't remember everything we had, but some of the items were the Sashimi Tuna (excellent) , Pollo al Jerez (excellent), Hummus (just OK), Portabella Mushroom w/ Spinach (excellent) and Frog Legs (just got them try, not really a fan) We also tried the sangria, I have had better at Columbia, but it was good.

I really enjoyed coming here. This was my first time and we came in for a company gathering. The service was good and they kept the food coming. The pork tenderloin was a bit over cooked but not too bad. I left full of the potatoes cause they were great. I will be coming back.

Stopped by Ceviche last week for Tapas Tuesday in celebration of my dad's birthday and we had a really great time. Church St. was closed off because of an event at the Amway, and it was raining, so it wasn't the easiest place to get to, but it was still a great time. We got there and were instantly seated, but it took a few minutes for anyone to come to our table to greet us and take a drink order. Eh, ok, there were busy-ish, I guess. Nothing that I thought couldn't be handled. Our server was friendly, but he was a bit lacking on the whole "serving" thing. Our water was refilled once the entire meal (we were there for about 2.5 hours), and that was towards the end when I asked. He forgot to put in one of our dishes that we ordered pretty early on (it finally came right before dessert!). The server was already really heavy on the sales push of desserts, which was kind of annoying when we were still waiting for a chicken dish to come out!! Service aside, the food was delicious. Everything we ordered was perfection. My absolute favorite were the green beans, hummus, and the pork dish that came with potatoes and green olives (I forget the name!). The potatoes were so tasty!! We ordered quite a bit since the tapas were discounted for Tapas Tuesday. My dad ordered a couple shell fish dishes, which he and my mom really enjoyed, but I couldn't eat them. For dessert, I had a chocolate cake that came with vanilla creme, fresh berries, and raspberry syrup, and my dad had the tres leche. The place is really loud, which was also a downside since we wanted a chance to catch up and talk since it's been a while. They did have a guitar player, which was really neat, but that was only in the bar area, and we couldn't really heat him over the noise. Overall, I'd give the food a 4 and the service a 3. I don't think I'd want to come back any other night of the week, as the dish size is pretty small (tapas!) for the price. For the three of us, it came out to $75 +tip, which was great! But I don't think their normal prices make up for the poor service.

I love this place! The red sangria, fried eggplant with honey, Gambas al ajillo, and patatas bravas are all things I'll never stop thinking about and attempting to recreate in my own kitchen. The calamari is fantastic as well. My first time here was my first time eating patatas bravas and WOW, they blew my mind. Now I order them anytime I get a chance elsewhere, and they've never been anywhere close to as good as ceviches!! Always a disappointment. On top of the food, the atmosphere is fantastic and if you come when the sangria and/or tapas are half off its a great deal! I can't wait to be back in orlando to have it again.

After trying out a local tapas bar near the hotel we were staying at, we decided to try Ceviche in downtown Orlando. It did not disappoint, we tried 3 different plates: albondigas, gambas a la parilla, & San Jacobos. My favorite was definitely the gambas a la parilla, it was cooked to perfection. The albondigas & San Jacobos was moist and very flavorful. I also loved the bread with the dip that they bring out. Ceviche is a good place to go if you're looking for a quiet night out.

Whoa! I used to walk by this place all the time, skipping out on them because I was never particular about the appearance on the outside. A group of friends were stepping out from a meetup downtown when we decided to grab dinner. We ended up deciding on Ceviche, which, on a Tuesday happens to discount their tapas. Upon walking in (9pm-ish) we attempted to step into the side without the music, but it was closed despite people eating there. We eventually opted for the corner of the live music area, a circular table located in the back that seats 6-7 people comfortably. If you're looking to get in on the entertainment though, this won't be the best spot as you won't see much. Anywho, our table ended up with the Ceviche De Atun (Tuna Ceviche), Gambas Bravas (Fried Shrimp), Calamares Fritos (Fried Squid), Champinones Del Monte (Roasted and Marinated Mushrooms), Papas Fritas (Potato Chips), Patatas Bravas (Fried Potatoes in an aioli sauce), and Chorizo Y Pimientos (Chorizo/Sausage). My personal picks were the Ceviche and the Gambas Bravas, which were amazing! I do have a small gripe with the Ceviche and that would be the amount of greens the tuna was served over. I was fishing around a bit to find my tuna (huehuehue). The Ceviche is served in a glass, so it is more of a personal dish that you can still share with 2-3 people but nothing to get full over. The Gambas Bravas were possibly my favorite. They come with a slight kick to them, but the shrimp was plentiful and juicy. My friends ordered the other items which were shared amongst the table. I'd suggest anyone coming with foodie friends to do the same. The Calamari was probably one of the best I've had in Orlando. The breading isn't overdone and the seasoning on them was so good that I felt no need to dip them in any type of sauce. The roasted mushrooms were also great; with a sauce that wasn't overpowering and a juicy bite that kept the flavor of the mushroom quite well. The Patatas Bravas were definitely a heavy dish yet I have never loved a potato dish that much. I also could not get enough of the Chorizo which were cooked just right and maintained their different flavors well within the sauce they were cooked in. Overall, everything seemed to be well thought out and I had no gripes about any of the dishes other than the Ceviche. I also ordered the Red Sangria alongside a glass of water. It was definitely a refreshing drink to go with the meal. If you're here, don't think twice on it. Because of the performances the area we were in was very dimly lit (and I mean dimly) so I can't quite comment much on the presentation, but in the light that we could see in, it all looked delicious on arrival. When we were placing our orders, we pulled our phones out to read the menu. There were two candles on the table for light which may not have been adequate. One of them also went out for whatever reason which made it even darker. Had we sat in another spot we probably would have gotten better lighting, so I can't detract from that. Lastly, I felt the service to be adequate. The waiter kept coming back to check on us, we got our refills pretty timely, and the dishes came out as they were ready, which was a pro and con. We were hungry so it kept us busy while the rest of our food was being prepared. I'll definitely be back to enjoy the live music, great food and drinks.

I won't give it 1 star, because I didn't stay for the food. It might be pretty awesome. Who knows? This is what I do know: the service on the restaurant side is terrible and the management that night was just pathetic. We sat at the bar for 20 minutes or more waiting for a table. Not bad! It was the weekend. Then we were seated (two of us) at a small table in the dining room. It was relatively close to the entrance and it was right along a common footpath for all the staff. It was not very hard to see us two dudes. We waited for at LEAST 15 minutes before we finally had to flag down the hostess and ask for a manager. One showed up quickly and my coworker started explaining how long it had been. Instead of immediately apologizing and fixing the situation, this guy thought it was necessary to provide us with excuses (huge pet peeve) like "change of shift" or whatever prepackaged malarkey he kept on deck for such situations. That was when I finally spoke up and said, "Look, we just need dinner, not excuses." That got my coworker even hotter, so he got up and declared we were leaving. I was right behind him. I'm not sure what part of restaurant training deals with how to handle these types of situations, but it seems that most restaurant managers maybe skipped that day of GM school.

We've been back to ceviche almost 7 times now.. It's our go to when up in Orlando. We've finally discovered our favorite dishes but we still always try one new dish. We always do the cheese plate, the paella, and we love the mushrooms with bread and sherry cream sauce. We always enjoy the service, we always come pretty early (before 630) and have never had to wait since our first visit.

This is a great place for large groups. We had a group of 10 and they had several larger groups as well. We had a nice round table so it made for easy sharing and conversation. Half of us had red sangria and it was tasty. We had so many things, the highlights for me were portabella stuffed with eggplant, chorizo and shrimp and guac. The Ceviche was good, but I was hoping for more because of the name.

I love the bar here - every drink I've had so far has been excellent. It's also not a bad place if you have a craving for spanish tapas and don't want to leave downtown. Though if you have time, I'd recommend catching an uber and heading to santiagos, which is insane.

Matt D.

Impressive, delectable, and fabulous. This place has it all. From the unbelievable decor of wood-carved moulding and archways, reminiscent of a Spanish church, to the candles flickering from above the flamenco bar in the lounge, the atmosphere instantly transports you to the other side of the world. Perfect restaurant for first dates, anniversaries, birthdays, or just because. The food is outstanding. I recommend starting with a cheese and provisions platter while you peruse the menu. Def must are anything with croquette, chorizo, or the paella. For fun kicks, try the sardines (the freshest sardines ever) or the deep fried chicken liver chucks (it's like an Italian meatball stew!) Overall, this restaurant has everything, hands down. On Friday nights, stay for the live flamenco show and watch the trio go bananas as you sip on savory sangria!

Robert H.

Great place. The food was awesome. We first had the cheese and cold meat course with a great white wine. Then tuna with jalapeÃ±os...spicy and perfect... We then had a great Spanish red and had octopus.....then frog legs and finished with the steak. Each course came with an explanation of the food....big thank you to Manager Jason who made the night!!!!!!!!!!!

Not impressed at all. Service was alright- the waitress was good nothing special. Whoever puts the spoons in the cup on the table should check the spoons, some of them had crusted food on there. The menu is too long and way too expensive for what you get. We ordered the tuna ceviche. It was not good, no flavor at all. You could get ceviche that's 100 times better on Orange Ave, at a little Peruvian place. We ordered the Tortilla de Espana- this was awful, I've been to Spain, I know I'm not going to be able to repeat that experience but c'mon...this was so bad. There as a hard spot on it, like when you put something in the microwave for too long. We had mushrooms with goat cheese, said it was served with bread, but the bread was underneath all the cream and goat cheese and was so soggy. We had a few other dishes- all forgettable. We tried a pitcher of Sangria- I've made better at home. It was not not good at all. I wouldn't go back. I wouldn't recommend it either.

Alden K.

Great food, drinks and music. Make sure to only go when they have music or flamenco dancing. Order the Sangria, the best in Orlando! Chorizo and Pimientos portions used to be firefighter approved. But they cut the portion significantly. Service on the bar side is hit or miss, and I'm being generous here. But ordering directly from the bartender will definitely speed things up. On the regular side outside of the bar, the service is also good.

Shellie T.

We visited a couple weeks ago on a Sunday night, and we loved it. The food was good, but the service was outstanding. Our server, Daniel (I think that was his name....) was so genuine and sincere. He knew the menu, had great drink recommendations, and even took a few minutes to tell us some fun history on the building and to offer some recommendations on other bars/places to visit around Church Street. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be back.

Love this place! I have only gone for Tapas Tuesday and I don't see a reason why I would go any other day. We have tried many things off the tapas menu and narrowed it down to some of our favorites. The two things you should 100% have would be the red sangria ($4 on special Tuesday night) and the flan for dessert (These two are a MUST every single time). The flan is so good that my bf and I won't even share it we have to get our own... it is served with a large serving of fresh berries and is a super crisp and delicious dessert. When it comes to the tapas we have had the deviled eggs (only okay), gambas y guacamole (okay not great), house salad (really good), chorizo (flavorful and delicious), gambas y ajillo (probably a favorite), spinach (sweet and yummy), there is also a baked goat cheese that is amazing with the fresh baked bread.

5 stars for food, 1 star for server. Real talk, this is a tapas restaurant. I'm sure the server is used to people ordering a lot of different items. That noted, here is my review.... We came in on a Saturday night for a going away party. Up front, we told the server who was on what check and ordered a ton of stuff. We split pitchers of sangria and all kinds of different tapas. Everything was absolutely delicious. I am a Ceviche fan and will continue patronizing this business in the future. Here is my issue: Our checks came and they were all wrong. We mentioned to the waiter that our checks were wrong (ours had an order of goat cheese that we ordered and did not get, a soda - we were drinking booze not soda, and an extra glass of champagne that we did not order). Our waiter got super annoyed and huffy and stated that he would just divide it all 15 ways. When we brought up the fact that we were not going to pay for items that we didn't order, he relunctantly fixed our checks. Samuel was rude and we didn't deserve it. Again, I will come back to Ceviche for the food but ain't nobody got time for a rude server.

Ceviche is my favorite place to grab dinner before a night out downtown. (We used to always do Ceviche followed by The Dessert Lady, but then the downtown Desert Lady closed and totally ruined the perfect date-night combo.) Back to Ceviche... They serve tapas. Order two or three depending on how hungry you are (and consult with the server to determine the size of the dish). My very favorite things on the menu are the Tortilla Espanola (basically a potato omelette, super good) and the Espinicas (spinach with figs and honey - magical). Those two tapas are pretty much enough for me... and then of course I sample everything my friends order. That's the fun of tapas. The sangria here is really good. It's a little sweeter than some places (like Hawaiian Punch meets red wine). Anyway, I can drink buckets of the stuff (not really). Service on the restaurant side is much, much better than on the flamenco lounge side. While the atmosphere in the lounge is nice you have to be in the mood to just settle in and stay a while, service can be on the slow side.

Sarah K.

They have flamenco dancing and live music on some nights which I love. Their sangria is delicious and paired with their chorizo and pimientos with warm crusty bread and you have got a fantastic night out. This is my go to spot when friends and family visit and want a fun night out.

Melanie E.

Fun place with great music on a big elevated stage in the very large bar area. Plenty of room for dancing as well. We didn't sit in the bar area, which was a shame, but the rest of the restaurant is just as big as the bar area with plenty of seating. A lot of windows looking out onto a vibrant street scene and outside patio seating as well. Great place to come any day of the week. There were people dressed up and in casual attire as well, which I guess is par for the course these days. There is Tapas Tuesday with plenty of special Tapas to choose from and the Sangria special. The service was really good as well. I had several things, but the Sangria is fogging my memory. They were all good and I would love to get back here when I visit Orlando again.

4 stars because my experience was better than expected. With a Ceviche in Tampa, St. Pete, and Clearwater... I always kind of viewed the place as a Columbia with more Tapas and less regular meals. I know I have visited Ceviche in the Tampa area in the past before I was regularly Yelping and I never had a strong urge to rush back. This experience was excellent and I surely will be coming back here and other locations in the future. We got white sangria to drink. It was wonderful and had apples mixed in. That was new for me. 2 of us shared the small pitcher. It was perfect. Bread and garlic oil dipping sauce was AMAZING!!! And then that was just a teaser for the amazing good to come. But first a note about Jeremy who took care if us. He was friendly, prompt, knowledgable, and we were very pleased! The restaurant was crowded for a Saturday night but they seated us instantly. AMAZING! Pato al a Parilla, or otherwise: Grilled Duck with Chocolate Port Sauce, UNBELIEVABLE OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING!!!! Ceviche de Salmon, OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING and so so FRESH!!! Fresh cold salmon with like cilantro and of other things caviar on top. Very unique and flavorful and a table pleaser. Raw beef tenderloin. Small portion worked for the four of is but still felt rather slim. Grilled Egg Plant with Portobello Mushroom and Manchego Cheese, SO FILLING AND UNBELIEVABLE OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING. We also has mussels, escargot, crabcake, and meatballs. Should note the crab cake was difficult to share. Everything was delicious. The sauce really did the trick. Especially the mussel sauce and the chocolate port duck sauce, both were UNBELIEVE OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING!!!

This place is amazing. I went with my friend Drew K. on our night of bar crawl in Orlando on a Thursday night. What were we thinking because it as completely dead? Ah, who cares, it was an amazing time and there are stories and memories to carry with us forever lol. Ceviche is a lovely, dark, take you away to another country kind of feel. Almost like going to Spain, but not really. The music and the dancers are so great. The sangria is the best I've had with the fresh fruit and after two glasses I was feeling pretty good. I really love reading the menu all over even though we got appetizers and shared them. I would love to go for Sunday Fun Day or for dinner with a date sometime. It's has a real romantic feel to it.

To begin, I must say, I did enjoy everything, I had here, however, as a Tapas and ceviche bar, my review is in comparison to other tapas places. We started with the house Ceviche, I have to say it was pretty underwhelming. It tasted ok, but, shrimp had a slight seafood taste, anyone who makes Ceviche knows the best shrimp is shrimp with absolute no smell or fishy taste. In addition, the red onions took away from the crisp lime flavor. If you are going to use red onions, must make sure they have marinated for a while. For entree we had the Rabo de toro, gambas bravas, caracoles a la vas a, albondigas, and Almejas el faro. The gambas bravas were my favorite the shrimp was perfectly crispy and mixed in mayonnaise and chili. The caracoles was served in a tomato sauce on top of a pastry, the pastry was good but the tomato sauce was underwhelming. The albondigas, which is a meatball, made up of veal, beef, and chorizo. Again the tomato sauce was a little underwhelming almost like they do not use red wine in their sauce. The Rabo de toro, was my second favorite, this was a nice ox tail, very tender, cooked in a nice sauce. The Almejas de faro was good, enjoyed the little necks, but again the tomato sauce that was served with the clams was underwhelming. The sangria, was just ok although the half a pitcher was a nice size. I do like the fact you can order a whole or tapas portion depending on how much you like the dish. All n all would not be back if there was another tapas place around, however, I would stop by for drinks.

My dad and I stumbled upon Ceviche by chance and it was incredibly busy and fun and has some of the best tapas I have ever had. The paella is to die for. The service was fabulous. Our waiter suggested some great dishes. The meats were prepared very well and everything was extremely flavorful. Ceviche is certainly a bumping date night spot. The atmosphere is intimate and the dancing is spicy on a Saturday night. I definitely looked like my Dad's much younger trophy wife when we ate here.

I went for my Birthday and had an such a phenomenal meal with amazing service. I never been to a Topas Bar so I didn't know what to expect the waiter sat down w/ me & went over the menu...give great tips and suggestions. Our 1:1 attention given throughout the course of the meal was the very best. I can't tell you what we ordered becuse we tried a little of everything but it was all to die for. Especially the leche dessert it was just heaven, plus my super hot waiter came out w/ a lit a candle in it & sang Happy Birthday to me w/ my friends. They really know how to do it the right way! Pitcher of Sangria is the way to go, what a celebration!

The level of customer service has definitely gone down at this establishment. We still enjoy the food but i have to downgrade you to 3 stars mostly because of the hostesses, they are sorely in need of some retraining on people skills.

So, I was a bit worried about coming here after reading the variety of reviews, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. I was with a party of 11 for someone's birthday, and we were seated in the back corner where we had more room and it was quieter, which was a win-win. The restaurant is quite loud, and I think being anywhere on the main floor would be a bummer if it's crowded. We were there on a Wednesday night with reservations and ended up waiting about 20 minutes to be seated (they wait until half the party is there to seat). Pretty ambiance though inside. The food was good, but I wasn't over-the-moon about it, especially considering the price. The fried calamari was nice, though I usually consider that a stand-by dish, and the warm goat cheese was also yummy. One of my favorite parts of the meal was the pesto spread that came with the bread and the side salad of olives and peppers that came on the side for most of the dishes. Everything we had was good, though I wasn't enamored with the price. It's downtown, so I expected this, but it was still a bit frustrating at times. The dishes were all warm when they came out, and there was enough for most everyone at the table to take a bit of what they wanted. I left full, if that's any help. A member of our party brought in cupcakes, and there is a cake cutting fee when bringing in your own desserts (as usual). We got a pitcher of the red sangria, and I was a bit disappointed since most of the reviews seemed to paint a picture of it being the manna of drinks. It was good, yes, but I've had better homemade. I would give three and a half stars for the food, but the winner was our wonderful waiter (whose name I never found out). He was attentive to our whole party, refilled our waters in a timely manner, and brought out dishes while they were still hot. He even was helpful with taking pictures of our group and was patient in helping us split the bill between people at the end of the night. So, 5 stars for you, Super Waiter!

Awesome desserts and great staff. I always come here by myself and sit at the bar. The drinks are great and you can't go wrong with the smell of garlic. That smell makes anyone hungry. I like the shrimp dish but of course I have no clue what it is in Spanish. The staff is very helpful to an idiot like me without knowledge of much spanish. One thing though... make the menu easier to read. Makes my ocd a little eeek.

Danny B.

Great atmosphere and feel. Had some great tapas, both warm and cold. You need to have a sense of adventure to tackle dishes such as oxtail and quail, but if you are willing to try, your palette will thank you. Sangria was nice and I thoroughly enjoyed my caipirinha. Definitely looking forward to our next visit.

Marianne K.

Tasty with nice ambiance - it gets loud once the live music starts so don't plan to have any quiet conversations. On the other hand, if you're trying not to be overheard by, like, some kind of secret spy tailing you, this might be a plus. There's nothing WRONG with Ceviche - the food is tasty and the staff are nice and professional. But it seems like something is missing, something that would make me feel like I just had to go back. There's just nothing personal about the experience. The food is similar to other high quality tapas places - which makes them seem all a bit interchangeable to me. Ceviche doesn't stand out as unique. If I'm in the area, it's definitely a place I'd go back to - they seem quite reliable for quality food and service. And if that's all you need, they certainly deliver.

I wish we had a place like this back home! While visiting Orlando, my best friend took me here because I had studied abroad in Spain and couldn't stop talking about tapas when I came home. She had been considering hosting her wedding reception here and wanted to show me a fun night out. Well, as a 2-month student who dined her way through southern cities in Spain (and that's all the expertise I claim) this place brought together several elements of Spanish dining into a fun and festive tapas restaurant, and brought it up a notch. There were the dark wood furnishings and bright Moorish tiles of fine establishments, and the cured meats hanging from the ceiling of the casual pub/bars, along with the staple small-plate and restaurant favorites of sprawling street cafes and corner tapas bars. Together with a well-crafted pitcher of sangria (in a hand-crafted and colorful ceramic pitcher), this made my night for my one night out with an old friend. I loved that they had turned simple dishes into gourmet small plates, like the tomato-garlic bread. I had eaten as just garlic clove and tomato cut and smeared onto a baguette, but this was a tomato-herb puree topping a garlic-oil puree on a crostini. I loved the Spanish menu (took me back!): the wild mushrooms in a sherry cream sauce over goat cheese crostini, the chicken with garlic and oil (way more exciting than it sounds), and the patatas bravas. If I had to briefly describe the food here, it would be: rich, authentic, and gourmet. Get down here for a fun European experience!

I've been here several times and have always had a wonderful time. The food is delicious enough to make even the most devout non-sharers pass their plate around in hopes of trying the other delectable portions on the table, and the sangria pitchers are good enough to turn anyone's day around. The flamenco dancers and musicians nightly are a great way to top off a fabulous meal. The wait staff should really be more knowledgeable about the menu and they definitely need to improve the lighting in some of the dining room areas- I was with one group and we had to use our phones to read the menu :(

I went here with a group of eight on Tapas Tuesday. The food and drinks were great. They had a good variety of things, even on their discounted Tapas Tuesday menu. Food comes out when it is ready, so things didn't all come out at the same time, which I expected. However, the service was terrible. I would have given this place four stars based on the food, but the service was so bad, I could not rate it higher than a two. The waiter was nowhere to be found for most of the evening. Refills simply did not happen. Orders were not put in for two of our party, and the waiter didn't even notice they had no food. We had to flag him down and remind him. Twice. He blamed it on a hiccup in the kitchen, but we saw multiple orders of the same dishes we ordered going to other tables that arrived after us. He also mixed up which drinks went on what tabs. What a cluster!

Saturday night, by the bar, it's the place to be if you want good food and a completely different sort of entertainment. It's downtown for grown ups as you enjoy tapas like the FANTASTIC Gambas Bravas, the delicious Sangria, the beautiful architecture and ambiance and the unique and enticing flamenco show. I adore it and each time I have new friends in town I always suggest this. The trick to not waiting is to get there around 7:30-7:45 and sit right at the bar, take it slow in your dinner and stay put for at 9:30 the show starts and you wont be disappointed.

If I could recommend a zero I would. I have been a server and working in the hospitality industry for over three years now, so I am pretty understanding when it comes to restaurants. Me and my boyfriend (who is visiting from Spain) went to Ceviche in hopes of having a nice dinner. Our server was beyond rude to us and the food was absolutely terrible. We order a variety of tapas and drinks. The food was extremely garlicky and did not taste fresh. I lived in Spain for a period of time and this restaurant did not portray the Spanish cuisine well at all. To tops off the bad food, I went to check my recite and my server had added more tip than I had put. When I called to speak the manager the hostess gave me so much attitude and said it was too busy at the moment to discuss that, but she would have him call me later. After waiting for another 4 hours I called again. When I called to talk to the manager about it, he said it was a miscommunication and instead of giving me my money back for the terrible experience or apologizing. He only gave me the difference in tip. I know the ins and outs of working in hospitality and from the food to the horrible service I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It is expensive for the quality and not worth the money or hassle. There are plenty of better restaurants that are alot better and treat you like you deserve. Never again would I ever go back to eat there.

Had brunch with my friend on a Sunday. It wasn't busy at all, but our server was so slow getting everything. I had the Seafood crepe, it was no crepe at all, what a shame pretending to be crepe. We got a basket of pastries/bread, they were all right. Took forever to get our coffee. Not my place for brunch for sure.

To be clear up front: I didn't go to this restaurant because of the name. In fact, I almost turned past it in the tourism magazine JUST because of the name. I don't like sea food and I can't stand ceviche (and I've had it in Peru where they are supposed to know what they're doing). No, what got me to drive 30 minutes to try Ceviche was the description noting the restaurant serves Tapas style. I'm in...who doesn't love Tapas? My girlfriend and I walked in and immediately fell in love with the decor and feel of the place. We sat at the front window to enjoy the view of the pedestrians and old part of Orlando. I'm a sucker for old architecture, but this place really was above the bar. Dark wood, long wood bar, wine bottles in racks along the walls...just a nice feel that's different from most places you'll go. Eric, our waiter, was instantly our friend and he made the entire evening more than just food. Thanks Eric. We explained our needs and limitations right up front. "She's a vegetarian and I hate sea food," I explained. He made FANTASTIC recommendations, as if he had known us for years, and even had the chef customize some dishes to make them vegetarian. To top off a great evening was the bread pudding. I still often wake in the night shouting out for it (that's not entirely true, but it's very good). Ceviche is now a favorite when I'm in Orlando and I've returned a second time. On our second visit, by the way, the Bread Pudding wasn't fully cooked and they made it right be taking it off the bill and we were pleasantly surprised to learn that Wednesday is Half Price on Wine Bottles.

Recently moved here from IL in May of this year. I'm always interested in what's hot here in Orlando, FL. I happened to pick up The Orlando Magazine and notice an article on Ceviche/Flamenco Bar. It raved about good food, live music, and dancing - Things I love! My honey and I finally found some time to go over Thanksgiving Break. We went on that Tuesday so that we could partake in the $4 tapas Tuesdays and Sangrias. We decided to go sit over in the Flamenco Bar where the stage is so that we could hear the music while we ate. The ambiance was amazing. It was nice and dark with romantic candles. And let me just say that our server was absolutely AMAZING, he took great care of us. We ordered 3 tapas to start with and we also had some sangria. Our favorite of the three was Chorizo y Pimientos off of the Caliente (hot) menu. Overall all the food we ordered was delicious, but we didn't really care for the CROQUETAS DE POLLO. After we finished our first order, we stepped on the dance floor -the band was wonderful- We held each other close and danced as if it were just us two. We ordered two more tapas and some more Sangria. After we did our last dance, the server brought out some creme brulee for us to try. It was our first time trying it. . .DELICIOUS! This was a great night for us. . Great food, Service, Music, Ambiance, Everything. We'll be back :) If you just want to try out this resturant, then come on Tuesday for the $4 tapas. You can see if you like it. That way you can save some money if it's not your thing and come back again if it is. Hope this helps :)

I love going here for Tapas Tuesdays! Ceviche has a lively, yet intimate atmosphere. The service is always been great and I have enjoyed almost all of the dishes I have ordered here! I love the Spanish tortilla, pollo al ajillo, mejillones catalanca, corazones de alcachofas...there are so many options on such a varied menu! The bread and chimichurri-like dip at the beginning is also great, but make sure you don't fill up on too much, because it's addicting! The tapas have always arrived to our table promptly. I have always had a positive experience here and I have to add that I love the $4 martinis they have had on special all Summer long! (P.S Their well vodka is Russian Standard.)

On a busy, rainy Saturday night we we lucky to get seats at the bar and be waited on by Colin, a professional, energetic host. We started by sharing the Ceviche de la Casa which was generous and fresh tasting. Colin recommended the Mano e Mano wine which was perfect with the Albondigas. A very nice time, thanks to Colin.

Love Ceviche! If you're looking for the best selection in a tapas menu in O'Town, Ceviche is your place. Great location, great service, great food! Weekends boast a great band and real Flamenco dancers. Great place for any type of group (date/friends/family)!

This is an excellent dining experience. Great atmosphere and quality of food. The drinks are great too. It's also reasonably priced. The service was a little slow for a Tuesday night. I wouldn't recommend going here if you have a time sensitive event to get to unless you've allowed plenty of time. It's also great if you have a peanut allergy because all of their food is PEANUT FREE :)

Dined at Ceviches a couple of weeks ago with business clients and felt they deserved a review. I have t start by saying I read no reviews of this place nor did I even know it existed. It was a client that took me here for dinner, and I am thankful they did. The place has an extremely warm and inviting interior, I personally loved the atmosphere and If I ever open a restaurant, I would consult with there Designer absolutely. It was busy but not packed. We were greeted immediately and sat near a window with views of Church St. There was a Magic game going on across the street and the streets were packed. Our Server greeted us immediately and graciously and took our drink order. When she came back she recomended her favorites (Ceviche De La Casa, Pa Amb Oli, Codorniz de grilladore and Piquillos Rellenos).Our Server ( i forgot her name) was extremely attentive and curtious. She did a great job. We started with some red sangria and it was pretty good, not the best but certainly not the worst, sometimes its hard to make a good red sangria because the warm red wine over the ice makes it seem a little weak, but it worked. I had no problem with any of the food we ordered, we ordered everything the Server recomended and more. One of the dishes that stood out was the Rabo De Toro (oxtail) and it was excellent, soft, rich and meaty (atleast our pieces were). Another dish that I personally loved was the Higados De Pollo (crispy chicken livers), I know what your thinking but these were outstanding, I have had chicken livers before but a couple of my clients had not and they too were in love with this dish so much that we ordered another plate. Another dish that I was really in to was the Pulpo a la gallega (octopus in olive oil), the octopus was not chewy or tough but tender and sweet. Be open minded when visiting a place like this and you will not be disapointed!

I'm not a big fan of bustling restaurants, but I really enjoy the ambiance at Ceviche. There are literally hundreds of things to try, including--yes--excellent ceviche. I like the cold assortments of meats and cheeses, and the sangria is very tasty. Waiters are good at getting you in and out, so it's a great place to go before a concert at the Amway.

I really really wanted to like this place.... I actually left it a 4 star review about 6 months ago.... It is really hit or miss.. Our food was bleh this last Saturday, my bill was 135$ and I was hungry and unsatisfied upon leaving. The service was NON EXISTENT we had a large party and I swear our waitress came around 4 times TOTAL. Most people had never been there, but she did not make any suggestions or offer recommendations as our other server had done in the past. There are much better places downtown...

This whole building was shut down and fumigated for a couple days don't ask me how but when the giant tint over the building was lifted off you could smell some kind of fumigation chemicals very strong aroma you know that chemical was all over the place and their was definitely not enough time to clean the place properly and the restaurant was open for business come on !! Who gave them the permit to reopen why weren't the news stations writing about church street fumigation. I will not go there and tell everyone I know what I saw and experienced first hand. Other than that the food was pretty good before that quite matter happened

I've seen Vicky Cristina Barcelona one too many times to be considered healthy and subsequently, have dreams about visiting Spain -- sitting outside a tapas bar in Barcelona, sangria in hand with the honeyed sounds of acoustic guitar wafting on the warm breeze. One day, this is going to happen but until then -- I'll sate my suenos de Espana by visiting Ceviche in Downtown Orlando. If you're looking for a quiet meal, go elsewhere. Ceviche buzzes with life and noise -- the clank of dishes, live music and the dull roar of diners shoving their forks across the table, insisting, "Try this!" It's a gorgeous space and if I lived in Orlando, I would definitely be needling The Boy into throwing our wedding reception there. I went with a relatively large group (10 diners) on a Friday night and I'm so glad we made reservations. The place was packed when we arrived but thanks to our reservations, we were seated immediately. Our server Michael was prompt, courteous and personable. The bread basket and drinks appeared quickly and like the ravenous hordes we are, we obliterated them with the quickness. I ordered the white sangria and those things are dangerous. They go down smooth and it's not until you're fishing out fruit chunks out of your glass that you realize you might just be a little more than buzzed. The red sangria is equally dangerous so if you're planning on ordering a pitcher -- make sure you've got a cab lined up to take you home. The extensive menu is vegetarian-friendly which meant lots of delicious options for both my sister and myself. We ordered four dishes between us: Gazpacho Andaluz - I just discovered gazpacho last year and am always on the lookout for it on menus. I've had incredible gazpacho (from Georges in Wayne, PA) and terrible gazpacho that was more salsa than soup (from Trader Joe's...I mean, Trader Quixote's). This dish fell firmly in the middle. It was a little salty and a little too well-blended for my liking (I like rustic chunks of veggies in mine), but a tasty option for a warm night. Drizzle a little olive oil in it -- trust me. Ensalada de la Casa - The house salad featured fresh vegetables (no wilting iceberg here) and came well-dressed in a morish honey-lemon vinaigrette. Light and tasty. Coupled with the Tortilla Espanola, this would make a perfect lunch. Patatas Bravas - These were actually more a combination of patatas bravas and patatas ali oli but they were delicious. We ordered the large potion, thinking it would be enough for two and were shocked by the amount of food that came out. A huge plate laden with chunks of potatoes covered in a delicious (albeit slightly salty) aioli that was more than enough for four diners. Berenjenas Fritas -- I was initially hesitant about ordering this. Eggplant's tricky and I've ordered plenty of dishes that were either woefully undercooked or greasy. Also, honey as a dipping sauce? Really? However, my favorite Yelpistador, Dana H convinced me it was delicious and she was right -- paper thin, light and amazingly crispy. I could have eaten plates upon plates of the stuff. Oh and honey as a dipping sauce? The perfect accompaniment -- eggplant and honey. Who knew? A friend ordered the Calamares Fritos and it came with an amazing paprika aioli that I mopped up with my bread. $40 at Ceviche got two people four dishes (not counting the many bites that were passed around the table), a glass of white sangria, loud conversation resulting in the constant eruption of laughter and a band who had me shimmying my shoulders all night long. Worth every penny. I can't wait until I'm back in Orlando -- good food, strong drinks and raucous dinner conversation punctuated with laughter? It sounds like the perfect night out.

In town for a friend's wedding...my friends and I were looking for a fun place where we could have dinner. Being a tapas fan...I suggested Ceviche and I'm very happy I did. What a fun place it ended up being. Below I've listed some of my highlights, but honestly no one at my table (of 12 people) had any complaints. Highlights - * Favorite cocktail - mojito. Delicious. . * Ceviche de Atun (sliced sushi-grade tuna marinated in lemon, lime, cilantro, jalapeno and sweet onion) *Tabla de Quesos (Aged Manchego, Mahon, Tetilla and Cabrales cheeses with sliced fruit) *Tabla Mixta (Chorizo, Morcilla and Serrano ham with Mahon, Manchego and Tetilla cheeses, sliced fruit and homemade pÃ¢te) Bonus - there's also a Flamenco Bar with live music, dancing...lots of fun and ready adds character to the restaurant. Note - due to the Flamenco Bar and overall popularity of the restaurant...the noise level can be a tad high. Overall...I was very happy with our meal and entire experience at Ceviche. I highly recommend you give them a try soon.

This place is so good i don't even know where to begin. i have been here at least 10 times now, and i can not recall one occasion where i was anything short than completely satisfied with the food/drinks/service. This place is extremely consistent and creative. The entire menu is excellent, i think i have tried almost the entire menu lol. Like i said this place never fails short to impress me. Prices here are fair IMO, some people think they are high but i think they very very fair. With Orlando's Miserably low standards for food it is very hard to find a good place to eat, so when i find one and their prices are very much comparable to most of the $*&% chain restaurants out there, i will not hesitate to cough up the cash :) One would think that some people would appreciate the quality of the food specially in orlando, but i guess that is not always the case. All in all, this place is highly regarded by me and would recommend it to anyone who want to have a fun night with friends/girlfriend/wife. It just plain fun atmosphere with the live flamenco show and rustic decor. Love this place!

Nice place to go have fun with a group. Lively place, with a nice Flamenco dance that lasted over an hour. Tried the ceviche and a few other tapas plates. All were nice size to share to get a taste for 3 people. Service was friendly and quick.

Ceviche has good cold and warm tapas. My favorite was Queso de Cabra (baked goat cheese with tomatoes, basil and olive oil) yummm. I came here with a group of four and realized that the restaurant is not great for groups. The table size for four was tiny. And the servers couldn't really co-ordinate the service of tapas to fit our table. We had to eat fast so we can finish what we had on the table before the next round of tapas were delivered. Enough said, you should be fine if you are not a piggy eater like me :)
(3)
John E.

Dark decor with a touch of gothic. Huge menu, tapas are small and add up quickly. The best was the pork shank, beef short rib. The ceviche of salmon was past it's prime and did not taste fresh. The best part of the night was the flamenco show. I'll go back just for that.

Nicole F.

I am surprised by all the wonderful reviews, because the last 2 visits here could only be described as uncomfortable! Example 1: We had a large party reservation for a going away party and we had our infant daughter who was still nursing so I couldn't be away for more than a couple hours. When we arrived we were told our table was in an area that was 21 and up and we would have to seat separated from our party. I was told it was okay if I hung out in the bar area (like that makes sense)! They made us feel horrible and a nuisance even though I was told my daughter was welcome to attend the party. It was explained this is due to insurance reasons?? Example 2: Recently I went out with a group of girls I worked with for a celebration, we had just finished our food and asked for another round of Sangrias and we were told they had another reservation for our table and we had to leave. I laughed, I worked in restaurants for several years and if people are ordering food and drinks you don't tell them to leave so you can seat another table. I will never eat at this place again. They are rude and we have so many other wonderful restaurants in Orlando, there is no need to be subjected to this type of behavior.

Came here for a wedding reception. It was well done. The cocktail hour was held on the first floor and had a stage with flamenco dancers and live music. Trays of fresh fruit and yummy cheeses were laid out and the sangria was a little weak but flowing freely. There may have been other food served but I drank too much to remember, unfortunately. Or fortunately. It seemed that the better your tips were, the stronger your sangria. Or maybe I'd just had one too many.... The reception itself was held on the second floor. It was very pretty and dinner was buffet style. All the food was seriously delicious. Loved the pollo al Jerez - grilled chicken in Spanish sherry cream sauce - just succulent. The chorizo al Brandy was some of the most flavorful sausage ever. The patatas bravas were accented by a rich but excellent aioli and the haricot verdes were fresh and crisp - the most flavorful item on my plate. There was also some hot crusty, chewy bread served with a Spanish type of pesto that was just superb and a nice crisp salad. The cake was the only thing that fell flat for me. There were two kinds - coconut and red velvet (everyone wants red velvet for their wedding these days, it seems) and both may as well have been made from a mix, the flavor and texture were both so disappointing most people took a bite or two and left the rest. I would like to go back and have dinner at Ceviche one day and try some more of their entrees, as well as one of their more traditional desserts, like bread pudding or tres leches. Hope to be able to do this soon.

Ceviche's would win five stars if it were just for ambiance and dÃ©cor. It feels like you just walked into a 1910 Vampire den in the middle of New Orleans. The lighting, the woodwork, and stained glass all take you to a different place, and I love that. It felt very romantic and dark. We ordered a different variety of food, from your basic steak and potatoes to sushi grade tuna and tofu. Everything had a distinct flavor and even though it was served tapas style, I felt the portions were generous. If you are adventurous, the food cost can add up very quickly, add some drinks and you will be paying for a meal more in range with fine dining. I thoroughly enjoyed all the meat dishes, but the vegetable dishes lacked flavor or were not cooked properly. One piece of endive tasted as if the cook accidentally spilled the salt on it. The mixed drinks were good, but I really think drink ware should be thrown out when there is a chip or crack. Both our glasses were heavily chipped, it wouldn't have been hard to unintentionally cut yourself! Overall I enjoyed my visit and would go again, especially if I was in a carnivoreish mood!

This is one of my top 2 favorite places to eat in Orlando! You have to get the crack potatoes, AKA potatoes bravas. The food is wonderful and the drinks are great, too. You must go here!

I'm not sure if this place needs another positive review. It's one of my favorite places to eat in Orlando. Here's what I order: 1. Pan con tomate: It's not your traditional pan con tomate where toasted bread is rubbed with a garlic clove and half a tomato; it's more of a toast topped with a garlicky salsa, but it's fabulous. 2. Ceviche de Atun: Tuna ceviche served in a martini glass. It's tangy and lime-y, and I love the cilantro they add to it! 3. Patatas Bravas: Fried potatoes in an aioli sauce, what's not to like! Although sometimes I find that the potatoes aren't cooked all the way through. Eek. 4. Albondigas: Yummy meatballs bathing in a simple tomato sauce. The meat is coarsely ground, which gives it a great texture. 5. Gambas al Ajillo: Simple dish consisting of shrimp bathing in a super garlicky bath. You'll want to dunk your face in this dish, it's so good! And of course, the red sangria is my favorite. I only wish that they would turn down the volume in the performing area of the restaurant. Lovely place.

Went with party of six on 4/6/2013. We had reservations, no issues. The service was great. Jamie was an awesome server. It was one of the most flavorful experiences I have had in a while. I tried so many different things & everything was done right. This place did not mess up anything. Six people ordered 3-4 items & drinks & everything was perfect. The menu has so much variety we need to back soon. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for something different.

My boyfriend and I were in Orlando on vacation and I wanted to try a good tapas restaurant. I googled some reviews and found this one to have pretty good reviews on yelp. The atmosphere is nice and the staff were friendly as well. The reason I gave it 2 stars was the food was not that good in my opinion. Compared to my fav tapas restaurant in Atlanta (Eclipse di Luna) this was pretty bad! For starters the food was VERY bland. The portions were humongous (tapas=little plates) so a huge leg of some animal and a bowl of beans is not tapas for me. Also the chorizo looked like hot dogs I would buy at Krogers. The crabcakes were ok but thats about the only compliment I can give about the food I didn't finish my dish and definitely didn't want it to go. At least the downtown area was nice and we had a window seat which was pretty cool, but I would just go there to grab a drink and skip the food entirely!

Chaz B.

Very disappointing from the get go. The hostesses seemed bored. The place was really cold.. We ordered salad before the tapas and it never came... which can happen but we never even got an apology when we were billed for it.. We asked for bread at least 5 times but apparently it was in the oven .....longest baking time in the history of bread baking! And in the end we never got the bread. All in all very disappointing...won't be returning.
(2)
Amy P.

This is one of my favorite places to go. Things you MUST order when you go: Potatas Bravas and any of the Sangria (sparkling is the best but it's expensive). Usually, each person will order two items and everyone in our party would get a taste of it; not good for people who can't share. It's in a great location with a lot of history; the building used to be a saloon type restaurant with a show and it still looks very ornate. The service is always great but it can get really busy during dinner time.
(5)
Lauren H.

Some things I learned from my night at Ceviche: *Do not think that because it is Tapas that you won't spend a lot of money. Those $6 to $12 plates add up. *Drinks are pretty expensive when it's not happy hour. *Go with a big group and share lots of food. Everything you eat will be delicious and it's a lot of fun. *Good for a birthday dinner. *Great location. *If you go sit in Rose's section. I have not been that impressed by a server in quite some time. *Oyster Ceviche is weird.

Ches P.

I don't get the high marks around here. Place is over-priced, food is mediocre, ambience seems forced, and service needs help. Went here a few times, and although the selection of tapas are extensive, i don't get why they are so expensive. Don't get me wrong, I would gladly pay $10 for a tiny plate of food, but they usually are memorable and tastey. The ceviche needed less lime and probably needed to be served with chips. The papas bravas was great. The duck and brazilian steak was good, but $14 for a little 4 oz? not THAT good. Place is a little over-hyped, but i guess if you are in downtown, this is where you go. I probably wouldn't come here again, unless someone who doesn't know better decides to have a "special occasion" dinner here... smh

Lucky for me I have a friend that was attending my meeting who also is living in Orlando. And even luckier, she agreed to take me out to somewhere away from the Disney/Universal barhopping areas. So off to downtown Orlando we went and Ceviche was our first stop! This place is fairly large with tables inside, on the patio, and bar seating. We opted for the bar because it was happy hour! Specials on sangria and also on tapas! We're talking like $2 and $3 tapas options. We tried a myriad of things but my faves were the albondigas (veal, chorizo, and pork meatballs in sauce), croquetas (chicken, ham, cheese deep fried - YUM!), and the ceviche. Oh and the sangria although it was pretty sweet and I found myself on sugar overload. Our bartender was super friendly and efficient. He told us drinking by the glass sangria was cheaper than a pitcher during happy hour and also made sure he kept our glasses filled. Overall this seems like a great place to stop by for some tapas and drinks before a game or before a night of barhopping. Wish we had one in Nashville!

Mejillones Catalan (mussels) and the Filetito (filet) - top notch! Even more impressed after seeing the tiny kitchen - these guys consistenly crank out solid dishes on this massive menu. My FAVORITE restaurant in Downtown Orlando.

Taylor G.

I don't know why it took me so long to try Ceviche! I've lived in Orlando for almost a decade and just got around to trying it a little over a year ago and I did not know what I was missing! Excellent sangria (authentic, not just wine and sugar with floating fruit) and the menu is a little overwhelming, but everything I've tried has been amazing. The food also comes out really fast and also comes out when it's ready instead of waiting for everything to be done at once. The ambiance and the building is truly one of a kind in Orlando, too!

Omaira D.

Tapas Tuesday is the best thing to happen to Tuesdays since Monday! Thirty different tapas and glasses of sangria for $4 or less. The patatas bravas are to die for! Recommend trying to Tortilla Espanola, albondigas, croquetas, champagne and their ceviche atun. Definitely a place for groups, order a few pass it around. The location is gorgeous, definitely "Spanish" and the staff is very knowledgeable about their menu. I always take out of towners here :)
(5)
Ashwin M.

I have been to Andalucia and have tasted what the locals claim the best Tortialla Espanola in the region. What I had in Ceviche was scrambled eggs with hashbrowns. The place oozes Iberian sex appeal, but the food is lacking in quality. Then again, I won't ding the restaurant as much as the pretty crappy taste in American vegetables. So, I'll let that pass. Given that, for a vegetarian, this place had a nice selection of choices. The Patas Bravas was close to the real deal. For the liquor connoisseur, there are many brandies, wines and beers, but most of the beers were not in stock when I was there.

Daniel S.

The tapas I had were pretty good. The Ceviche de la Casa was a good starter! We were there with a big group and they were very organized. Not one mistake on our checks. People love their Sangria here and I cannot understand why. They use too much brandy.

I've been here 3 times now with my group. It's consistently really good. Tuesdays is $4 Tapas, $4 sangrias, & $6 Mt Gay Mojitos. They have ~115 tapas on the menu. I haven't seen the menu change and they don't have rotating specials..but with that many options you don't need 'em. The menu is 75% tapas, some salads, small plates, & large paellas. Tapas include ceviche, cold, hot, meat, fish, & desserts. It's definitely one of the best tapas restaurants I've been to. Best way to do it, is have everyone pick 2-3 tapas each, then pass 'em around the table; your server will bring everything out slowly, so you don't have to worry about being over-loaded. The only negative that I've noticed so far is that the chefs seem to be a bit heavy-handed on the salt. Well worth going to if you're in the mood for Tapas; our group leaves uncomfortably full for ~$40 a person.

Enjoyed dinner here last night with a friend. Tapas was nice portions and well seasoned and cooked. Server was OK, could have been better. The restaurant was busy, but not slammed. My friend was seated with a glass of wine first and I joined her. Since we were heading to a show after dinner we had time to enjoy a relaxed dinner, but couldn't chill for hours. The server took a while to make it to our table (after I was seated) to inquire about drinks for me, so when she did come by we quickly placed my wine order and our tapas orders to speed things up. My friend ordered rice, roasted veggies and fillet Mignon. I ordered Garlic shrimp, goat cheese and potato torta, out of everything the rice came first...which was odd, as it was clearly a side dish. The veggies were delivered next, along with my shrimp and goat cheese. It took awhile for my friends fillet to come out and 60 minutes of a wait to get the Potato Torta. The server removed the torta charge from the bill appropriately, without a complaint or a peep from us. Service and kitchen seemed a bit discombobulated throughout the meal. During our wait for food, we turned away 2 tapas orders that were being delivered to our table, instead of the ordering table. My friend ordered the Creme Brulee for dessert, which was served in a chocolate bowl. I thought it looked nice and was a generous portion for the price. She said it was good but not a stand out. That said, everything that was ordered was enjoyed and the stuff that we didn't order looked delish as well. ;) I would go back there when I had plenty of time and wasn't starving!

Great spot for a special evening on the town! Tapa-style dining with a great variety on the menu. You must, must, must try the scallops and the honey spinach! The bar has signature drinks and a great sangria! I've been dying to try brunch hear, anyone down? Oh and there's flamenco dancing on some nights I hear, how spicy!

One of my favorite places in this town! I met my husband here, had birthdays here, dates, anniversaries etc..... And it has always been a perfect time! Get the Palomillo! Yum

Wonderful food and experience. A perfect date night! Live music and Flamenco dancers added a delightful show to the whole evening. Best of all there was no cover, nor entertainment charges. However it is in the 21+ area of the restaurant. Began our evening with sangria and a mojito. So many mouthwatering options to choose from. Pollo al ajillo was spicy and delicious. The layers of flavor in this dish were a delight. A traditional Spanish dish, Chorizo y pimientos was a great choice to try all the different types of sausage that they offer. Paella Valenciana was so very flavorful and light, it was a great mix to introduce one to this traditional Spanish cuisine. Although the rice wasn't fully cooked through, it didn't take away from the flavors or quality of the dish. Although this was so much food already, we couldn't resist when we someone else order it. To end the evening, we chose the crema catalana. A perfect mix of sweet creme, and berries in an edible chocolate dish. Yum! Can't wait to go back and try their other dishes! Fyi, Because we were visiting the area ourselves, parking is in the hourly lots along side the freeway, and the lot the street behind. $1/hr., as long as there isn't a game at the arena.

Incredible decor. This place was so cool inside, dim (but not dark) lighting, tons of woodwork, tile, stained glass. Really neat. On top of that , the food was very good. I'm not typically a tapas person, but Ceviche had some wonderfully tasty dishes, a number of them were quite substantial. I went with a good sized group so we had a lot of food. The highlights were; Pork shank, fried potatoes tossed in aioli, chorizo al brandy, calamari, croquetas and the NY strip. Our waiter was awesome too, incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Also, i was drinking Estrella beer, only $3 each! And Wednesday night is half priced wine night, so each bottle (under $75 i think) is half price. Would definitely recommend for a group.

I am new to the Orlando area and was "wowed" by this place's food. It's actually probably the best food I've had since I've lived here. Their cheesy potatoes, white Sangria and Mahi Tapas are amazing, and my partner and I were extremely pleased with the food! The only downside is that we had to wait awfully long to be greeted by our server and also had to wait longer than desired to get our check. Overall, however, I definitely recommend this place for its savory food selection!

Janette F.

I am from Spain and had to go try the tortilla espanola. It did not disappoint. I also had the chuletas de Cordero which were wonderful, cooked & seasoned just right. I can't wait for my next visit. Oh and you must try the cava sangria, Devine!

Jacky C.

My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant last Tuesday. We found out on Tuesdays some of the tapas are half off so this was a great deal. I definitely suggest checking this place out on a Tuesday. What really sold me was the place. It was just gorgeous inside - reminding me of a true place from Spain. Our server was also great and extremely knowledgeable. The tapas are a bit overpriced if we didn't go on a deal night. But I was very pleased with our dinner and our view that looked at the beautiful Church Street. Go a bit later in the evening for a more lively crowd.

As Colleen said.... BRUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously... Crab Benedict Lord Baltimore - funny name, serious dish! Yeah, it's basically crab cakes benedict, which is my new favorite thing ever. Yuummmmmmm!! And omg my mouth just started watering thinking about the bloody mary! So great!! With salt on the rim! WANT! Side items: Patatas bravas that are on the regular menu - the ones with the orange sauce? YUM! And the sliced creamy potatoes or something were basically au gratin with tons of cheese and YUMMY! Great bacon as well - crispy! Colleen had the french toast, which looked awesome, and they have waffles and pancake items on the menu that sounded divine! And some kind of crab crepes... I DEF need to go back and try more stuff!! And what a beautiful, quiet place to sit outside on a nice Sunday and enjoy the food and drinks! LOVE that they have brunch!!

Beautiful restaurant. I was in love with all of the decor and vibe of the place instanly. Came here while on vacation with friends who are locals, and enjoyed great food and drinks. Among our plethora of food, I enjoyed the goat cheese, ceviche, tuna tartar, and asparagus the most. I would have just eaten the bread and oil it was so good! Made sure to have the mojitos they were delish, I would have ordered the sangria if I had read some reviews first because it sounds perfect.. I would come back for sure, maybe even if it is only to try the sangria.

I've been to Ceviche many times, but for some reason have been lazy about composing a Yelp review. Today, I visited Ceviche again for the 2nd time in a week... Yes folks, I'm an Official Fattyfattymoomoo! After 10+ visits, I've come to the conclusion that the best dishes are the Potatas Bravas, Ceviche de Salmon and Bay Quiche Lorraine. Brunch is a FANTASTIC value at Ceviche with most entrees priced under $10. The ONE dish that has yet to impress me is Ceviche's take on Calamari. The first time I had it, the lightly dusted and fried calamari bites were crunchy, yet VERY chewing. Surely it was overcooked. I gave the calamari another try today and still was left less than impressed. This time, the calamari was crispy and more tender, but was lacking in flavor (ie. salt). Yes, the calamari is served with a nice aioli, but in my opinion the calamari should be able to stand on its own pre-sauce dipping. ---Dishes mentioned in this review, per Ceviche's website--- POTATAS BRAVAS - Fried potatoes tossed in a spicy homemade aioli... CEVICHE DE SALMON - Fresh salmon marinated in lemon, lime, cilantro, sweet onions, and topped with caviar... BAY QUICHE LORRAINE - Swiss Emmental cheese with mild nutty flavor mixed with baby shrimp, crabmeat, scallops, spring onions and fresh chives baked in a deep pie shell accompanied with steamed asparagus... CALAMARES FRITOS - Tender squid lightly dusted in seasoned flour and fried crispy, served with lemon and paprika aioli...

I cannot speak highly enough of Ceviche. We had our wedding reception in the 2nd floor banquet hall. They have amazing food, fantastic service (Kelly is awesome to work with!), and their entire team goes out of their way to make your day special. All of our guests loved the food, complemented all of the servers and bartenders, and especially loved the banquet manager for the evening--Mark. Mark saved the day when one of our vendors utterly failed (O-Cartz - avoid at all cost!!) They didn't show up to pick us up from the sparkler exit and Mark was on the phone several times straightening everything out. From the minute we first contacted Kelly, to the moment Mark put us in the cart when we left, we could not have been more happy. Thanks so much!

Recently attended Ceviche during a visit to Orlando. The tapas are delicious. The dishes reminded me of childhood peasant dishes and delectable fine dining. However, the chorizo is not spicy, and the paella was a bit too salty. The sangria was par for the course. It was fruity yet bold, and was pretty typical as far as sangrias go. Our server, Oscar, was awesome.

It's a beautiful word to say -- "suh-vee-chay." I've been to Church Street's Ceviche for Sunday brunch and dinner. The joint is lovely, not quite as lovely as when Lili Marlene's occupied the space, but lovely still. One would think that Ceviche would be the signature item on the menu, but there are places that do a better job. Paradiso 37 is one. On both visits I've found this tapas restaurant to be nice, probably better than El Bodegon, but not quite as good as Mi Tomatina. It's hard to make a comparison to I-Drive's Cafe popular Cafe Tu Tu Tango. If you go there for brunch, you might be immediately taken by the description of the Lord Baltimore Crab Eggs Benedict, but the outcome didn't quite deliver. Service is hit or miss. On my dinner visit, until after I left the restaurant, I didn't notice that our sardine tapas never arrived. The list of options on the menu is overwhelming; sometimes the delivered goods fail to overwhelm. The big windows with the view to Church Street are a plus.

This is a great tapas place, with a dine in restaurant, and bar area with a live band, what more could you ask for? If you like lamb, the braised lamb shank is a definitely an order for you to choose. The selections on the menu is huge, so my suggestion is to read the menu online to get a feel before you come, because it can be overwhelming. Some other great dishes where their oxtails, escargots, mussels and chicken mousse liver!

Jessica H.

Very small portions. Oyster ceviche was horrible.

Vivian M.

We absolutely love this place. The sangria is very good, the tapas are great and they have a large selection. Our favorites are: Patatas Bravas, Croquetas de Bacalao, Stuffed Piquillo Peppers, Berenjenas Asada, and Portobello Relleno (just to name a few..lol). We really haven't tried anything that we have been disappointed with. For desert, we really like Trilogia de chocolates but I'm looking forward to trying their Crema Catalana. We haven't been there yet to see the Flamenco dancers. They have great specials on Tuesday nights (Tapas Tuesdays).

I went here last night with my mom and a family friend, and it was quite good! We shared a bunch of plates for dinner, and it was more than enough food, let me tell you! There was a huge menu packed with fabulous dishes, starting with appetizers and ending with desserts. Many of the items have the option to have tapas OR an individual meal, so if you want something all to yourself, you can get the big portion. Otherwise, the tapas portions are really enough for several people to have something and not feel at all deprived. A few dishes we enjoyed: Ceviche de la Casa- Unfortunately, our family friend had most of this since it was her idea to get it. She got to the shrimp and stuff I liked before I had the chance. I tried a piece of the raw fish...I'm not a raw fish girl unless it's in sushi. So although I'm sure it was good, I would have preferred trying it sooner. Our friend ordered some hot sauce to go with it in case you like more of a kick. Atun Estilo Tartaro- This is raw, sushi-grade tuna with capers and sesame oil. Delicious! It comes in sort of a clump, and you have to sort out the pieces for yourself, but it's delicious. It comes with some toasted bread slices and also cucumber slices so you can put your tuna on either one, if you wish. Queso de Cabra- A baked goat cheese served with baked tomato pieces. Delicious! If you like goat cheese and herbs, this is lovely. Pargo a la Andaluza- Red snapper grilled and served with tender-crisp peppers, onions, and capers. Very good, but I am not a snapper fan, so I had very little of this. Pollo al Jerez- I LOVED this! Small pieces of chicken topped with pesto and served with a sherry cream sauce. This was my favorite, along with the goat cheese. There were three small chicken pieces, which was plenty for our group. My dining companions shared some of the croquetas, but I abstained because I'm not much for ham. However, they looked crispy and came with a dipping sauce and three large croquetas. The atmosphere here is lovely. It's very peaceful and just has a great Spanish theme to it. The service was very attentive and we enjoyed ourselves a great deal! If you are ever downtown, this is a wonderful place to come with some friends or family!

Wednesday night is the time to go, half priced wine and sangria! The staff is excellent, service is top-notch, and the food is amazing. I rave about this place to all of my friends. And an added bonus - the building is beautiful and very historic.

Went on Tapas Tuesday where a wide range of menu items are only $4.00. Drinks were also on the discounted Tuesday menu. Drinks were good; food was not. Hummus was flavorless. Calamari was spongy & served lukewarm. Atmosphere was so-so. Don't think I'll return.
(2)
Brad S.

Not impressed. Rip off. Portions are miniscule, and the sangria is not made in advance so it's below average. The fruit has no time to soak up the wine. We ordered hummus: flavorless. We ordered olives: looked and tasted like they came out of a jar from Publix. We ordered Serrano ham: $10 for a few tiny slivers and three dried up figs. Total bill $40. Never again. The music is warmed over Gypsy Kings. I'm a musician. They are faking. The decor is very nice, dark and heavy. If I could eat the decor, I would like this date rip-off joint a lot better. Avoid! I assume they are all same, all over Tampa. Unless you are 21 and dumb, just don't.

I'm still on the fence about this place. I've been a couple times, and I always hope for more. While the food is pretty good (I've only been for dinner), the service is lacking. But I don't even blame the waiters. I think the menu is too convoluted. Having a lot of options is cool and all, but they could definitely cut at least of quarter of the menu and you wouldn't be missing anything. I've had the fabulous white sangria, and it's def worth checking out. I've also had the tuna ceviche, a couple other variations that I don't remember, a cheese dish ( I think goat cheese), and the stuffed portobello. All good choices, but nothing I'd write home about either. I grew up on AMAZING ceviche and authentic latin food, so I've definitely had better. But that said, I do think a place like this was missing in Orlando until Ceviche opened its doors. And for that, I am happy it's here.

My wife and I have been there twice and we love it. Monday thru Thursday they have happy hour pricing from 5 to 7Pm which makes them a great deal more affordable. Most drinks are $3-$4 and they have about a dozen tapas that are $4 each. The first time we went it wasn't during happy hour and for the two of us our total bill came to well over $100. The second time we mostly ordered off the happy hour menu and our total bill came to about $40. The food here is great. With tapas you can order a bunch of different dishes that come in small portions. The menu is HUGE so you have tons of dishes to try Here are some of our favorites: Albondigas, Berenjenas Fritas, Queso de Cabra, Tabla Mixta Just one side note, the first time we went I ordered their regular Sangria. It was so disgustingly sweet I couldn't drink it and had to sent it back. They have a "Skinny Sangria" which has no additional added sugar, that is much more to my liking.

Veronica M.

Tapas Tuesdays are my favorite! The sangria is tasty and gets you a nice buzz. Food has always been good whenever I've gone. You can't go wrong with the mussels, patatas bravas and fig spinach. I also like the live music by the bar and overall atmosphere. Plus, my sister had her wedding here in 2010 and the catered food (in particular the paella) was delicious! One of my favorite restaurants in Orlando :)

Dropped in to Ceviche for lunch today with my wife. The ambiance is cool mostly because of the old building and history on Church St. When we arrived a sign told us to seat ourselves. There were a few customers but no staff. After a few minutes 3 staff members appear but none come to our table. After a couple of more minutes one server says to the other "hey, can you get them", this server walks over to the third and points to us. Finally we got a server. Mind you there are only 3 other customers and they were getting their checks, not a busy time. My wife and I ordered a Ceviche de Mero, Banderillas mixtas, and Gambas a la Ajillo. The ceviche: the fish looked like it had been torn apart instead of cut, it had no flavor and the texture was horrible. Small portion served in a martini glass. Not worth the $10 charged. Banderillas Mixtas: It was supposed to be beef tenderloin and meats on skewers. Well, we received 2 pitiful looking little wood sticks. One had 2 pieces of bland sausage on each end with a piece of rare low quality beef in the middle (less then an inch long). The other a weird tasting piece of chicken between the same kind of sausage. It also included a grilled vegetable skewer that was cold. The food seemed microwaved. Not worth the $10 charged. Gambas a la Ajillo: I was shocked when this shrimp plate arrived (several minutes after the other items). I was expecting a few large shrimp cooked with butter and garlic but no got about 8 small to medium tasteless, salty shrimp. They were rubbery, watery and had no flavor except for the salt. It seemed as if the had taken frozen shrimp nuked them and sprinkled salt on them. Not worth the $10 charged. I have been to Spain and this place is an insult to their food. The server was nice but not very attentive nor asked why we had not eaten the food (he must of know how bad it is). I don'y understand the great reviews. I guess you must enjoy the bar before eating. Thank god we didn't pay full price because we had a groupon deal $15 FOR $30. This is the worst meal that we can remember having. I could have done much better at home. Over priced low quality ingredients. Don't waste your money. We actually left there and went to a place, Bento-Box, down the street and had a fresh awesome lunch.

I have dined here many times and always enjoyed the food and service. However, during a recent visit I was blown away by the service provided by Jenny! She greeted our table promptly and with a welcoming smile. She conversed with my daughter whom is quite shy and made her feel very comfortable. I always order the same things and Jenny was able to recommend new dishes for us to try which was very nice! Again, my daughter had know idea how to read the menu let alone choose something so Jenny asked what types of foods she liked and guided her in the right direction! The entire visit was very nice as Jenny did seem quite busy but always made sure to stop by and check on us. We didn't have empty drinks once and our plates were cleared as we finished. There seems to be great team work all around as other servers delivered our food and made sure everything was good as well. Upon leaving she made sure to welcome us back and actually spent time thanking us for coming in. I will of course be back but I will always request Jenny as our server from now on!

Stopped in here a few weeks back with a large group of friends, as it was recommended by a couple we were with. Perfect recommendation. Located right on Church Street, it's in a great location, and you should try to time your visit right, as this place will get packed! Restaurant is very warm and welcome, and wide open and inviting, allowing you to meet new folks and enjoy your tapas experience. Got in a little earlier than our reservation, so we all sat at the bar and enjoyed some drinks. Nice bar area, plenty of seating, and a couple of flat screens to watch sports or whatever else is on. Once we were seated, it was on like donkey kong! Server was spectacular. Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and took care of us... very hard to do with a group our size, but she did it. Even met the manager, as he stopped by our table and thanked us for stopping in, asking us how everything was. Everyone had a blast and we all left fat and happy. Food was spectacular. We decided to order up tapas, every couple at the table ordered 4 or 5, then of course did the mandatory pass around the table. Did not have ANYTHING that was not delicious. I must have sampled about 30 different tapas, and they were amazing. I couldn't even give you tips on what to order, as I don't think there's enough space in this review slot for that. Ask the waiter for recommendations, and go with your gut. You will be happy no matter what you order. Of course, when you order that much, it will end up being a bit on the pricey side, however all of us in the group had such an amazing experience, it was absolutely well worth it. Had a great experience here from top to bottom- absolutely recommend this place to all in the area, and those visiting from out of town. Will definitely be back next time I'm staying in Orlando.

I felt compelled to review Ceviche because I was misguided into thinking I would have a good meal based on other reviews. We started off with the house ceviche, which was OK, but not worth the $10 for the quality nor portion. There were definitely more vegetables in it than fish. Everything else we ordered off the $4 tapas Tuesday menu was sub par besides the chicken liver pate. The peppers were stuffed with what seemed to be hamburger helper, and my dining patron cringed as she had her first and only forkful. The spinach with honey and fig was a sloppy mess, albeit somewhat edible to dip bread in the leftover sauce. The mussels with cream and anisette was unbelievably small, even for $4, and lacked any sort of mussel flavor. The Codfish croquetas were crispy on the outside but a ball of mush on the inside, with a minute flavor of the salt cod. Bottom line, don't expect much, even for a $4 Tuesday night out. The Sangria was lacking as was the service. If you enjoy food, this is not your kind of place. Head up the street to the Rusty Spoon for some real grub.

I went to Ceviche on Friday night with a friend of mine who lives in the neighborhood. We were told that we'd have about a 30-35 minute wait and were given a pager. We went to the bar and ordered sangria (we tried the cava sangria, which was okay, nothing to write home about). Our pager was blinking the whole time we sat there, so we figured it would buzz or do something else after our table was ready. After about 45 minutes, my friend checked on our table... turns out it'd been ready the whole time! Apparently they can't estimate their wait times very well. With dinner, we had the red sangria, which was significantly better. (However, the brandy or whatever else they put in it negatively affected my friend the next day - watch out if you have an adverse reaction to wine mixed with liquor.) Foodwise, the ceviche de salmon was incredible. Absolutely delicious. The cilantro and citrus were perfect with the salmon, and the caviar was a nice little touch. The atun estilo tartaro (tuna tartare) was really great. The filetito was so good that my friend, who normally dislikes filet, was raving about it. For dessert we had the Flan Lorena, which was a bit citrusy for my taste, but perfect flan consistency, and good when I thought of it as a different dish than my typical flan. The trilogia de chocolates (white, milk, and dark chocolate mousse!) was incredible. Very rich and creamy.

Okay, I'm done. I've been here about a half dozen times now, and while I really want to like this place, this is it, I swear. Now, the food's not bad. Let's get that out of the way right now. Thing is, it's not great. For these prices - and portions - it should be much better. Yes, I understand the concept of tapas, and no, I have no problem with getting a small plate of food for $8. The thing is, I want that food to be knock-your-socks-off amazing, or at least consistently decent. The problem with Ceviche is that while there are some stellar dishes (holy crap, patatas bravas), they're few and far between. Most of your selections are over-sauced, heavy, and not that great. This wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so damn expensive, but I can walk across the street to Hamburger Mary's (or the Dessert Lady, if you've got an unquenchable sweet tooth) and have a full meal for the price of just one of the dishes here. Tapas should be an excuse to spend lots of money on lots of dishes that taste great (Cafe Tu Tu Tango is really good for this, incidentally). It shouldn't be a crapshoot about whether I feel mildly satisfied or ripped off. Finally, I should mention the ambiance, which I don't think I've ever done for a restaurant before. The problem here is just so pervasive and constant, I need to bring it up. Ceviche has some great architecture, with beautiful tile, wood, and tables, but good lord, their acoustics are awful. Even if it's just half full, it's impossible to hear someone who's not directly next to you without shouting. If the place is slammed and you happen to enjoy conversation, well, you're in for a lot of grief - there's no way you're hearing anything less than a screaming match over that din. This place has plenty of things going for it, but it could be so much more. In the end, though... it isn't.

Within seconds of walking into Ceviche, my friends and I were instantly impressed with the decor and the atmosphere. And Ceviche didn't stop impressing us there. We got the banderillas mixtas (skewers of chorizo, beef tenderloin, and chicken breast), champinones de sevilla (four different types of mushrooms swimming in a sherry-based sauce, served on toasted bread and goat cheese), and the vieirras puerros (grilled large sea scallops served in a sherry cream sauce). My favorite was the champinones de sevilla.. the sauce it was served with was so delicious and tasted great on toasted bread! We also got a 1/2 bottle of cava (Spanish champagne), which was really only a glass per person. Still a pretty good deal and we were just glad to find somewhere that served cava! The waitress was very attentive and helpful in helping us decide which tapas to get. It is quite a cab ride from the Universal Studios area but I thought it was worth it... much better than paying an arm and a leg for not-so-great theme park food! I believe it cost us about $15/person so it wasn't too bad at all. I would definitely recommend this place to any Orlando residents or Orlando visitors sick of eating the same food at the theme parks!

Lets start with decor and ambiance, for this type of restaurant it was perfect! They hit the nail on the head with it - plus they have live shows although we chose to sit in the other side, we were in the mood to talk and didn't want to over the Spanish Guitar. Let me make a list of what we had before I forget: Patatas Bravas - AWESOME! Just as good as the ones in Cafe Iberico in Chicago Ceviche de La Casa - Delicious although we would have liked a bit of bite to it (we probably insulted the chef but we did ask for a bit of hot sauce). Otherwise it was perfect with a mix of quite a few different fish and shellfish. Berengenas Fritas - They were very good, but the breading on them was tasteless. They had honey for dipping, it was an interesting combo. Again I would have wanted the breading to have some bite to make the dish salty/sweet and not just plain/sweet. Still good nonetheless. Pargo con Pimientos - Good, a bit small so if you order it really is about 3 bites of fish. Calamares Fritos - Calamari, no more - no less. Very good though. We accompanied it all with a pitcher of Sangria. Next time I will get a nice bottle of red wine, the Sangria was too sweet. NOW the BEST part of it was the absolutely AMAZING Almendrado for dessert. It was a Croissant with Marzipan and honest to goodness Vanilla Ice Cream on top. The ice cream was a light brown color, and when you looked at it up close it was because you could see the ground Vanilla beans, it was absolutely FANTASTIC. The croissant was toasty and delicious and the almond paste was super and the ice cream of the best Vanilla Ice Cream I have ever had! This is a great little restaurant to hit up with a group of friends.

Ceviche is a tapas restaurant and bar located in historic Church Street Station. The restaurant has been reworked since its Phineas Phoggs days back in the 80/90s but it still shows the beautiful artistry used when Church Street was built. There is lovely woodwork, beams and brick that give the place a cozy charm. Food was good but mostly I LOVE the concept. You order 2-3 app sized dishes per person and share, a fun way to try lots of different items. Prices are in the $4-$12 range. Food comes out as it's ready so you eat one dish at a time which keeps you busy. A couple of favorites of mine were the scallop ceviche and the skewers which allowed us to try a little of the chicken, sirloin, chorizo and veggies. Stay away from the Sangria; it was poured tabled side into a pitcher from a bottle that said, "Ceviche Sangria". Not sure what they put in their mix but it was barely drinkable. Stick to the bar drinks instead, both the Mojito and Cactus Flower were excellent. Between two people we ordered 5 dishes and were absolutely stuffed. Service was quick and helpful. The menu is large and a little overwhelming. Our server helped guide us and the options she suggested (one was the skewers) were a hit. Parking downtown still is a pain, your best bet might be either under I-4 or the Suntrust garage.

This was very sell small portions of food. The thought process is that you order two or three small portions per person and share them among the table. We got mushrooms in a sauce, chicken, squid stuffed with lamb and other meat. I like most of it except the Squid was a little chewy but not bad at all. I got a three layer mouse and my son got a huge chocolate piece of cake. I would recommend it.

What a fun atmosphere!! I love the decor and the flamenco dancing they have at Ceviche. It's very old world Spanish inside and the food is unique and yummy!! Also - you MUST try their sangria. Amazing! Super delicious. The tapas are all fun to choose from and there are soooo many. I went with a friend and we wanted to try things we never had before. We both love avocados so off of the Tapas Frias menu we ordered the Gambas Y Aguacate which is a creamy shrimp salad with a wedge of avocado. Different taste but delightful nonetheless. This place is definitely a place for an adventurous eater. You've got to be pretty open minded as it's fun to try new things and share with others. A great place to go with a lot of people so you can different things off each other's plates ... hence, tapas. We tried the Rabo de Toro which is a slowly braised oxtail in red wine sauce with potatoes. Definitely a strange thing to me because it's mostly about the flavor, not so much the amount of meat but yes, the flavor was good and I'm glad I tried it. The Ancas de Rana ... or frog legs were YUMMY! The presentation was unique as the legs were sticking up in the air as if the frog were burying its head in the field greens. Tasted just like chicken. Hehe. Delish. I definitely also recommend trying any one of their famous paella. I particularly favor their Paella Negra ... black rice with squid ink, lobster and other fishies with an aioli on the side. Go and see for yourself. Check out the beautiful candle room while you're there, drink a glass of sangria and enjoy the tapas!!

I absolutely adore this restaurant! Their lunch, Sunday brunch, and dinner are all excellent. It's the only place in Orlando that I find myself staring at my recently emptied plate in front of me, and wondering if anyone around me would notice if I licked my plate clean. It is by far the best Spanish restaurant in town and could possibly be the best restaurant in Orlando. Their menu is large and I've made it my goal to try at least every item on the menu once before moving away from Orlando. The tapas are priced well, but their drinks will set you back a pretty penny. My advice, go during their happy hour or early dinner times, not only is the restaurant less crowded, but they offer a discounted tapas and drinks menu.

I came here a couple weeks ago with my friend Aly for lunch. It was super dead inside but the food was good! We had the Ceviche De La Casa, Ceviche A La Rusa (which is 4 oysters and a shot of Russian vodka in the middle) and Pan Con Tomate. The food was tasty, I want to go back here during dinner to watch their shows.

Ceviche in Downtown Orlando is as good as it gets. A little pricey, so if you want to try the amount of tapas I did...expect to shell out a couple bills. Patatas Bravas was glorious. I would take a shower in that sauce. We went on tapas tuesdays for 1/2 price and for a group of four we ordered 4 bravas and approx 10 other dishes. The chorizo tapas was excellent, the es cargo was delish, and the spinch marinated in honey put me in a glorious food coma. Sangria was on point and put all the food down nicely. Excellent place to spend a relaxing evening with great food, friends and drinks. Ill be back...

My partner and I met two friends of ours here on a whim on a Friday evening. We were surprised that at 6:45 the place was nearly empty. Apparently it draws a later crowd, as it was buzzing when we left around 8. We'll remember this as one of our favorite meals around. We ordered eight dishes plus two desserts and a large pitcher of sangria -- this was more than enough food. Every dish was fantastic in its own way, and there wasn't a single thing we tried that I wouldn't order again. The duck with a chocolate port sauce was a clear table favorite, along with the bleu-cheese steak (an item our server said is usually missed on the menu -- it's incorrectly listed in the "cold" section). The Portobello mushroom and pork dishes were amazing, as well. Our dessert choices were a bread pudding (perhaps the best my bread-pudding-loving partner has had) and an almond pastry. Both came with copious amounts of handmade vanilla ice cream and fresh berries. The sangria -- made with a house-label Tempranillo -- was fantastic. Smooth, and the buzz snuck up on me. We all agreed we need to come back with a larger group so we can sample more items.

I LOVE Ceviche. The happy hour is pretty good--$3 sangria that's dangerous because it tastes like there's no alcohol in it! We went there last night for a friend's birthday party, and we had great service. The Flamenco room was a little crowded, but our server was attentive and even helped cut the cake! We originally started out by paying for drinks at the bar, but our server stopped my husband as we were leaving to make sure he hadn't charged us twice. I thought that was really nice of him. As for the food, I've never had anything bad there. It is a little expensive, but there is a special on appetizers during happy hour too. Definitely a fun atmosphere for a get together with friends (there were around 40 of us).

If you haven't had a Spanish breakfast or brunch - you are missing out. I love this place for dinner, small plates. I was very pleasantly surprised at brunch. Started with some sausage and crustini small plates then moved onto the Spanish omelet and bay quiche Lorraine. Everything was very flavorful and unique and we were definately full when we left. These little plates catch up with you quick! Wait staff is very helpful if you haven't been here before. If you are unsure, ask for recommendations.

Let your ears listen to the echoes of the Flamenco beat while your eyes lust for a sexy, sensual Flamenco dancer and your mouth salivates for delicious Tapas plates. It feels as if your body and mind are transported to Spain. The ambiance is lively, while the decor has a feel of a wine cellar on the left and an elegant, cultural dining room on the right. The food is mainly tapas, which is little appetizer plates usually to be shared between people, or you can get the full meal, but only certain dishes have the full meal option. The menu can be overwhelming, but the waiters are more than helpful with suggestions. The place gets packed at night so do not expect to be pampered by the waiters. After some suggestions from the waiter, it was time to order. I shared the Costillas de Cordero, braised lamb with white beans and roasted tomatoes, and the Mahi-Mahi al Papel. Both were exquisite, but with that said the Costillas de Cordero was in a class of its own. The food topped with a pitcher of Sangia made it a wonderful night, so good in fact that we were throwing some Flamenco arm movements on the way out.

Let me start of by saying that I have been to Ceviche numerous times, including a company Christmas part of 10, and the food has never ever disappointed. But there are a few things that I just can't get over and make me really struggle spending my money there. 1) No reservations for parties under 6. I feel like an establishment that has a lot of tables should be offering reservations at least for dinner. It promotes loyalty and makes it easy for me to come back. 2) The hostesses are some of the most inept I have ever come across. They are rude on the phone, self important and distracted at the entrance and make me feel like I am doing them a favor by showing up. My last visit was earlier this evening and we had some great food, calamari, ox-tail, chicken breast tapas, all cooked to perfection and very tasty. I will definitely recommend the fried bringal with syrup, very interesting tastes! Our server was also good, attentive just enough and accommodated us by helping us get out to our show on time. I like it when waitresses understand business and get me what I need. 45 minutes in and out, it's a win-win situation. On the downside, as the hostess showed us to our table, I had to move it away from the soft chairs against the wall as it looked like the area was still being cleaned up. Unfortunately, the table tops (a very nice Spanish tile on concrete) are not secured to the frame and I ended up jamming my finger between 100lbs of concrete and steel. All of this while a male waiter leaned against the wall watching it all happen. The hostess apologized and walked off without helping us move the other side of the table. Secondly, we ordered a pitcher of white sangria and the presentation was so comical that I had to take pictures with my phone. My glass bottom was chipped and cracked all around the base like it had been thrown in the dishwasher one too many times. The pitcher itself was also totally cracked at the spout, with the bare porous ceramic being exposed. If you can get over the front staff and the managers who think that you should be serving them, I would recommend this as a good after work or weekend dinner venue, just make sure you have a couple of drinks to ignore the pretentiousness.

So others do not think that I am "batshit crazy"... Prior to going to the restaurant, we were informed by a friend that the sparkling sangria was like a mimosa - which can be enjoyed at any time of day, by the way. After being horribly mislead by said friend, we decided to cut out her tongue and serve it to her as a garnish for a bloody mary for telling such lies. Ok, ok, now THAT is just batshit crazy... ;) So as John M. says, it's "wine/champagne and brandy" and not a mimosa as we were originally informed. The more you know... (cue the rainbow and music) :D

Don't listen to the naysayers. Just go. It's awesome. Food is always satisfyingly excellent. My wife and I usually share 3-4 dishes and that's more than enough. The pork shank is incredible. Charcuterie plate rocks. The only less than stellar dish we've had in over 10 visits was the salt cod. On the weekend nights the have flamenco dancing and incredible Spanish guitar players. Just go.

Just the other day I was talking to a friend about how people think that food (or anything) that's overpriced is better than it actually is. Every experience I've had with Ceviche has proven that to be true of this establishment. I've been there three times, always with friends who sing its praises, and every time I've been disappointed. The first two times I went to Ceviche I was a vegetarian and every overpriced little tapas plate was very underwhelming. When my friends suggested going to Ceviche for dinner last night I told them I wasn't a fan, but didn't have a better idea so I'd give it another try as a non-veg. They assured me that I'd be more pleased with the meat dishes than I ever was with the veggie dishes. Wrong. First, we got there around 9 pm and were told it would be 20 minutes for a table. It was about 45 minutes. We were actually just about to leave when our buzzer went off. Once we were seated it took about 10 minutes before the waiter came to take our drink orders. We ordered drinks and I asked the waiter if he could also bring us some bread (we were starving after our 45 minute wait.) He told me that they had a new rule that they couldn't bring bread until the table ordered hot food. Come on. It's bread. I've never heard of a rule like that--have you? Upon looking at the menu I realized that anything that looked appetizing was $12-$15 for a tapas-sized plate and upwards of $18 for what I guess is the regular size. Since my biggest gripe with Ceviche (and other tapas-style restaurants) is that you have to spend at least $30 to fill up and even then you feel like you need to swing by Chik-fi-a on the way home because there's just not enough food on any given plate, I tried to choose very carefully to not bankrupt myself on food I might not be thrilled with. I ended up getting an appetizer that consisted of three small crostinis topped with anchovies, tomatoes and onions, and a mixed-sausage type of thing. The anchovy crostini were flavorless and the sausage thing came in some canned tomato sauce with heavy spices. I picked the sausages out and ate them, but there were only 4 small pieces. I left the tomato sauce because it had a heavy perfumey taste to it. Those two things--three pieces of bread with canned anchovies and tomato sauce with four pieces of sausage--was $16. The best part of the meal was the bread we got when we ordered our hot food and the pesto-ish sauce that came with it. There were three of us and we killed the bread pretty quickly and asked for more. The waiter brought us more, then leaned down to tell us that they had a new rule that they were supposed to charge for extra loaves of bread, but that he wouldn't charge us this time. What's this bread made out of? They act like its a precious metal. My friend's stuffed calamari was cold, so she didn't eat it. The whole meal was just laced with disappointment. When we left one of my dining companions said she was now on board with my Ceviche-hate and understood why I didn't want to go, even though she had been pleased with previous experiences. Ceviche is just one of those places that I think people feel like they should like because it's pricey and dark and a little more upscale than other places in the area, but the truth is it's a bomb. What a waste. I wish I had just gone to Dessert Lady across the street and had a giant piece of chocolate cake for dinner.

Ceviche is always fun with consistently great food. Just returned from another tapas feast. Our server, Katherine, was the best ever, and we always have good servers there, but Katherine was exceptional.

I'm here, yet again, for another birthday celebration! This time we tried the albondigas (meatballs), morrillo de cochinillo (roasted pork shank), almejas y merluza (clams and mahi-mahi), pargo a la andaluza (red snapper), patatas bravas (fried potatoes), and pan con tomate (bread with garlic, olive oil, and tomato). My favorite from last visit, the red snapper, turned out to be a real disappointment tonight. The fish was overcooked and the rest of it just tasted too bitter. All of the other dishes were good but the roasted pork shank was definitely tonight's winner. The meat was very tender and flavorful. This could be a meal itself because the portion is so large. Service tonight was much better! All in all.. good food, good wine, good company!

Without a doubt, one of my favorite places to eat in Orlando. Everything is great - the food, drinks, ambiance, music, waiter service.. There is usually a short wait on busy nights but it's definitely worth it. Try the sangria because it's excellent and don't load up on too much bread!

Wow. That was all I could think as soon as I walked into Ceviche. After doing some basic research about this place, I formed the general idea that there was both a dance floor area and separate dining hall. However, I never would have imagined a place downtown could be so spacious! Along with the bright splashes of Spanish color, this spaciousness creates an open, warm, and inviting feel. Even though I was there on a Thursday night and there definitely wasn't a crowd of people on the dance floor, I knew that this was still a great place for a birthday night dinner. I know a bunch of other people who have written reviews mentioned their love and/or hesitation towards tapas-style dining. But I honestly have to say that I (and the group of people I was with) loved it! Yes, the menu at Ceviche is overwhelming...there are probably about 100 menu items to choose from. We decided to ask our waitress for her recommendations in each category (Pescados, Carne, Tablas, etc). That ended up helping us a lot, and I feel like we all enjoyed the unique dishes we got. The best part? We all got to try a little bit of each dish! As far as drinks go, I split a pitcher of Skinny Sangria with my friend. The only difference between this and the regular sangria, we were told, is that it is made with sweetener rather than real sugar. That being said, the Skinny Sangria is perhaps not for everyone. But, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was light enough that it didn't fill me up, and, therefore, I could eat more tapas! Remember how I said the best part was getting to share food? I was lying. The best part of the night was the chocolate cake we ordered for dessert. Chocolate cake, fresh fruit, and a splash of orange liqeur on the side. YUM. Overall, I definitely had an enjoyable birthday night here and would definitely love to go back on a Friday or Saturday night when there are more people on the dance floor. Plus, I still have about another 96 tapas to try!

I thought this place was going to be amazing because of the recommendations my friend and I received. Yeah totally wrong, got all hyped up and excited for nothing but disappointment. Lets start off by saying the atmosphere was great and that was about the only greatness for the night lol. The service was horrible and for it being our first time, our server did not introduce to us to what their specials of the day were or anything. It was almost as if we were bugging him with questions. Brought out our food with attitude and was quick to walk away before we could even ask for anything else. The food was so so only liked one item that we ordered out of everything and it was chicken but to be specific..couldn't remember the name and I wouldn't bother trying to remember it anyways because ill never return again...first impressions are everything! BYE!

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Orlando. Never had a bad dish, never had bad service (though I wouldn't call it the best service, it can be slow sometimes when busy), never had a bad night here. Seriously, the food is incredible. Only tapas place that beats it in my experience so far is Julian Serrano in Vegas.

Brittany B.

Going to Ceviche for lunch was great - we got a table right next to the windows and our delicious food came quickly. I'm never a fan of inexperienced servers and our young waitress wasn't that bad...she just wasn't that great. For example, we asked how a particular dish tasted and she replied "I've never worked a lunch shift so I don't really know." Honest but completely unhelpful. The food was very tasty but salty. My tastebuds were screaming for something sweet to counter how salty our dishes were. However, if you're a salt lover, this is likely the place for you.

Great food, BAD SERVICE! Bad, BAD service. We had a table of 6. 5 heavy drinkers and a pregnant lady. It's bad enough my friend could not enjoy a drink with everyone else, but to then order iced tea and not get it for 15 minutes? Not okay. To get water, one of our friends had to go to the bar to get it themselves. If you go here, sit at the bar so you have a better chance of getting served.

This is with regards to just the sangria in the Flamenco Room (huge bar area) at Ceviche! The sangria here is REALLY REALLY good. I ordered a large pitcher which serves roughly 8 glasses for $32.50. At around $4 a glass, that's not terrible. As we sat at the bar, the bartender made the sangria right in front of us. Took out a pitcher, added the ice, fresh fruit, other mix-ins, and then added an entire bottle of spanish red wine. It was nice to see it prepared right then instead of them just scooping the pitcher into an entire bucket of the stuff made at some other time. The sangria here is definitely delicious and isn't weak. The Flemenco Room is pretty cool. A very trendy spot to hit up. It's nice and dark with low lighting. At 8pm starts the live music. Very cool place to chill with friends. Need to eat here and will update once I have.

Love it. I go here at least once every 6 months. It is on the pricier side, so I always make up an excuse to celebrate something and go here to splurge. Tapas heaven. Great sangria. Awesome ceviche. I've tried at least half of the menu and have never been disappointed. Try the gazpacho especially.

Elizabeth F.

I keep hoping Ceviche will impress me but they kind of don't. Their food is still so delicious but honestly, the service sucks. I went here with a group (again) for a birthday dinner and was disappointed with the service. We had 2 servers at our table which was great but they still were not on top of their game with drinks and plates. All these additional servers would come out with our food and just yell out the names of plates. Talk about distracting and kind of rude. I mean, we're having a dinner here! I feel like they should know who ordered what...I mean, you know when you give me my bill, don't you? Also, one of the waitresses burned me with a skillet. She says, "watch out, it's REALLY hot." then proceeded to hand me the REALLY hot skillet. Just put it on the TABLE if it's really hot. And yes, literally, I have a burn on my hand. Again, I say, the food is actually good but sometimes the service trumps the food for me. I don't know if I'll give this place another shot but if I do, it will not be in a big group.

I haven't had the chance to enjoy the brunch that I've recently heard great reviews of but I have been here for a few birthday celebrations and drinks. I have to admit - the food isn't blow-me-out-of-the-water spectacular but I'm not a huge tapas fan to begin with - the whole concept just drives me crazy and I feel like it's never really executed properly. I have, however, always enjoyed their red and white sangria. I really like the atmosphere. It's romantic, intimate, popular and sophisticated. They have flamenco shows and really romantic acoustic guitar music. I recently went for a Yelp related event but was disappointed when we arrived 10 minutes before 8pm (the cut off for happy hour) and the bartender refused to give us happy hour prices. I was really annoyed that he would be so petty about it but I didn't feel like arguing so I ordered a mojito and that was actually pretty good (although with tip, it ended up being a $10 drink). Like other reviewers have mentioned, the service isn't exactly stellar but it's definitely not the worst place to start an evening downtown.

Joshua J.

Okay, the food is great... Well at least it is once they finally bring it to you. Ceviche is more about having the trendy ambiance than it is about customer service. Every time I have been here, I have enjoyed the food but disgusted by the service. I was only able to order 2 drinks throughout the 2 hour duration of my visit. I will only go here when it is somebody's birthday or some other special occasion and they specifically request it. Otherwise, they wouldnt get a dime from me.

I LOVE Tapas Tuesday. Awesome food and awesome sangria :) Do you need much more? And it's cheap :) Tapas and sangria for only $4 on Tuesdays. My favorites are Papas Bravas and Berenejas Fritas (fried eggplant with honey)...both are REALLY amazing! My favorite thing to do is go with 4 or 5 friends and everyone orders 2 tapas and everyone shares. It's fun and you get to try a bunch of yummy food. Even though it's tapas you'll leave full...trust me :) The only downside is because it's an amazing deal it does get full really fast and there can be a wait. The atmosphere is pretty cool too and definitely has a Spanish vibe. The staff is usually pretty knowledgeable and friendly and does well with large groups.

Where to begin. This was my second trip to Ceviche. Both have been on my birthday. The first time was flawless, so I decided to come back for my 30th birthday. We walked in and was not greeted the way you should be when you walk in. The hostesses were very rude and not helpful. I was told to go wait in the bar and they would call me when my table was ready. I found that funny as we were 15 mins early and there were tables available all over. I am not sure how they were going to call me as they didnt even really take my name or give me a pager. We sat down at the bar and ordered our drinks. I ordered a Caipirinha, which is a traditional brazilian and spanish drink. It is supposed to be mint, sugar, and cachaca rum. I was not pleased as it was very sweet, and tasted like it was just sour mix. Becoming irritated, I asked for the manager. I work as a chef so I understand how things should operate. The manager was very attentive and immediately grabbed the general manager for me as well. After the general manager was involved we were immediately seated and taken care of. Our server was on point and was the best part of the evening. I ordered the lamb shank and red snapper. The two things I ordered last time. This time, the snapper was over cooked, and the lamb shank was dry even though it was sitting in a pool of Rioja red wine sauce and vegetables. I didnt complain as everyone else was enjoying the evening so I didnt want to make it any worse. I was brought some sort of 3 chocolate/layered mousse that was the highlight of the evening aside from the Sangria I would have to say that I wont be returning to Ceviche unless things change there majorly!

Jeff B.

For drinks I highly recommend Ceviche. Nothing but praise ever seems to come from their sangria and their selection of beers, although not that large, includes a few excellent Spanish brews. As for the food, some of it is good and some is just okay. Pricing is a little bit higher than expected for the portion size and quality but for downtown is isn't awful. My recommendation is to come for the drinks and atmosphere and eat somewhere else.

My wife and I really enjoyed their location in Tampa, so we thought we'd give the Orlando location a try. We've grown accustom to the inconsistent food delivery, so we knew that the food would usually come out in a haphazard fashion, which would usually have nothing at all to do with the order of how the food was placed. Last night was no different, and that's ok. We started out with the tuna tartar, mixta plate, and pÃ¢tÃ©. We also ordered Brazilian Caipirinhas to drink. The drinks were very good, and the tuna tartar made it out first. This was good, and the salad garnish added a little flavor to the lightly seasoned tuna. Next out was the chorizo y pimento. This is where it started to go wrong. You could tell that the chorizo had cooked in the sauce all day, and the sausage was mushy and over cooked. Also, for chorizo, it was especially bland, a trend that continued through the meal. Out next, pÃ¢tÃ© and the mixta plate. The pÃ¢tÃ© was bland, and grainy. The hams on the mixta plate were good, but the cheeses lacked any flavor, short of the blue cheese, but that was saved for the beef tenderloin slices. The remaining plates, the tenderloin slices (substituted for oxtails) and grilled shrimp both suffered the same problem, lack of flavor. In short, a very unremarkable dinner. The service was good, and our waitress was very attentive, and for that she gets a 5, but the food dragged everything down. It just wasn't inspiring, and as shared before, it lacked any real flavor or character. And for that reason, I doubt we'll be returning.

I am from Tampa and I have enjoyed several dinners (and even some live reggae music) at Ceviche in SoHo (see my reviews). But my fear is always that a franchise can't keep a terrific thing going. I was wrong. DEAD wrong! Ceviche in Orlando is very different as far as atmosphere- a large store front facing Church Street with unique lighting, cold dining room (I had on a leather jacket but my boyfriend- the human heater- was comfortable for once) with a butcher type set up in the middle with a dark attached bar where you first enter. Entirely different from the renovated house in SoHo but still cool. I really enjoyed the openess although it was still dimly lit. The food? Amazing. We had two orders of the espinacas. We LOVE that spinach and it's SOOOO simple but I can't figure out how to make it. We also had the red snapper with peppers and onions (truly amazing), asapagus (beautiful presentation and delicious), patatas bravas (I loved it, my boyfriend wasn't that impressed but enjoyed it anyway). The meal was so amazing, I can't stop raving about it. I also had the sparkling sangria which is always delicious. I am totally sold on Ceviche, no matter the location. The service, as usual, was ok. Friendly but not familiar, you know? Just a wee bit stand offish and "too cool for school" but the food is so amazing, I couldn't care less about the slight snobbery. The service in Tampa is at least a step up better than this.

My favorite place in Orlando. It's tapas, so they are smaller plates meant for sharing. Get the stuffed red peppers (Piquillos Relleno) , tuna or salmon ceviche, patatas bravas, crema catalana, and red sangria. There are so many other options, such as Albondigas- meatballs made of chorizo and veal, or Gambas al Ajillo, shrimp in a white wine garlic sauce. It's great to go with 4-6 people and everyone order 1-2 tapas, then you get to try a lot and hone down your favorites. I think the prices are also very reasonable for the quality of the food. If sharing small plates isn't your thing, they have entrees to choose from as well. The tapas are so good I have never felt the need to order an entree though. They do a Sunday a brunch as well and the prices are very good. I always get the eggs benedict with crab and tomato served on a croissant. In fact, my fiance and I love this place so much we are having our Rehearsal Dinner here in October!

I have yet to find a problem with this restaurant .... other than I wish it was less expensive so I could go more. And..... wish the flamenco dancing was every night. I have not been able to catch the show yet. The tapas at this place are phenomenal. The duck with the chocolate sauce, tuna Ceviche, puffed pastry with steak tenderloin in a mushroom cheese sauce, sauteed spinach with honey and fig.... I could go on with more deliciousness. Just go check them out and pig out! Don't forget to bring$$$ oh yeah their Sangria is the best I have ever had! The fruit in it is soaked in brandy.

Amy B.

Wow! I was so impressed with this place. Very Reasonable prices ( 5 of us ate for $85 with a few drinks) and the food was wonderful. Of Course we had so many things I can't remember them all but a few that stood out were the Patatas Bravas, Vieiras Puerros, Costillas De Cordero, and Pollo Ajillo. So Yummy!! I will definitely so back very soon! Most of the Tapas are served so 4 people can get a bite off it. It you have more than 4 or 5 wanting to try a dish you might want to order two of the same thing. Also, the Paellas take 45 min ( they definitely remind you of that when you sit down) so order it immediately if you want to try it. One thing I liked about the way they serve is they don't wait for the whole order to be ready before they start bringing stuff out. They just bring it as its ready. It felt like food just kept coming and coming and coming! Tuesdays is Tapas Tuesdays. $4 Tapas and Sangria. Great Deal! The menu for the $4 offerings is a lot smaller but they do have some great items on there. The first time you see the main menu it can be a little overwhelming. I would definitely look it over in advance to have an idea of what you want. Otherwise you could spend 30 minutes reading it. I cant believe it took me so long to try this place. If you haven't tried it yet either shame on you. Your missing out! :)

So my friends arranged this surprise birthday party for me here, and I am the type of girl that loves music, and I cant help but dance when I eat...so this place is awesome. Its Tapas style , meaning everyone orders and shares (I dont like sharing my food..but this night was fun cause it was a party of 15 so I got to try soo many items I probably would not order on my own) The wine selection was a wine-o's dream...and the live flamenco dancers and spanish singing was entertainment. (also kind of romantic) very dim lighting, It is pricey, and anyone under 21 are not permitted to dine...so no kids..but you can dress to impress, dine, and feel as if you were in spain. I recommend this in large groups!

**This review is for the dark and gorgeous bar on a weekend night, not the restaurant area** The bar at Ceviche is, hands-down, one of my favorite places in Orlando. The lighting is intimate but you can still read the menus, the architecture is stunning, and noise level is bustling without being overbearing. Scoring a table here can be difficult on a Friday or Saturday night but generally it's not packed to the gills and is still comfortable. Now on to the important stuff: drinks and music. Drinks are good, albeit on the pricey side, and generally the service is pretty decent. The sangria isn't the best I've ever had, but still plenty delicious! The live flamenco/spanish guitar performances here though are what makes this place stand out. I take everyone here I know when they come to town, and it's always a winner. It's also a great place to start a night out in downtown and catch up with friends before craziness ensues.

I've been here several times and always enjoy the food and atmosphere. I was with a fairly large group during my recent visit and was pleased with the service - there were two servers helping with the table and they were very patient with our group. We had a ton of group photo requests and they obliged. My food was a mixed bag of really, really good and eh...The eh is probably my fault though, I ordered Pollo al Ajillo assuming the pollo was chicken breast, but turned out to be thigh or some other darker part. That is what I get for assuming. I also ordered Berenjadas Asada and that was muy delicioso. The server said it was his favorite and I can see why - roasted eggplant with portbello mushroom in a tomato sauce topped with cheese. So, so good! Went well with the red and sparkling Sangria. We also ordered the Patatas Bravas - spicy and very tasty as well. The bar next door is pretty cool, love the music and wish I could've stayed longer to see more of the flamenco dancers.

Jeremy was our server and was over the top! Went here for Tapas Tuesday and the food was phenomenal and the prices were unbelievable. You simply can't go wrong here!

We have never had a bad meal at Ceviche. Consistently delicious and friendly. You can't really beat the atmosphere either. Our favorites include the MORRILLO DE COCHINILLO, CROQUETAS, JAMON SERRANO, and CEVICHE DE ATUN

I love this place! My husband and I always get croquetas and bread with mushrooms and goat cheese (no idea what they call it on the menu). I also had sangria for the first time there and I wasn't impressed. I don't know if it's theirs or just the drink in general that I don't like. I definitely recommend this place for the food and drunk-people watching downtown.

I originally went the the Tampa location and fell madly in love with ceviche a la rusa.....raw oysters with cilantro, caviar, and a shot of vodka. Does that not equal perfection to everyone? If not to everyone it certainly does to me. So I was pretty excited to hit up the one in Orlando. I love the location and decor. It is easy to get to if you park in the right places and if not its worth the walk. As in EVERY single place you will find dishes that you love and dishes that you won't order again. My favorite way to hit up Ceviche is on Tapas Tuesday for their $4 menu which makes it more affordable to try out different things without worrying too much if you will love it or leave it. The reason why I'm going for 4 instead of 5 stars as that although I feel they have a fantastic wine menu I find their actual mixed drinks/cocktails a bit lackluster.....nothing spectacular that grabs me on the cocktail menu. The other thing is that I do NOT for the most part mind a noisy place, but for conversation purposes with a large crowd this may not be the perfect venue. For a date where you want to lean in closer to flirty with your other half it is perfect!

We had such a great time on our Thursday night visit to Ceviche. We chose to sit in the Flamenco Room, which is separate from the restaurant and has a 21+ age requirement. Check their online schedule of events to make sure that a live band will be present. The music was fantastic, and the acoustics were phenomenal, as previously mentioned here. I was hoping to do a little dancing, but this really isn't the venue for that. The Flamenco Room was 100% full and all butts were planted in chairs. The atmosphere at the restaurant couldn't be better and is reminiscent of an old Spanish monastery, complete with hundreds of candles lit throughout. Amazing. On to the food! We ate at the bar, and sampled a couple of incredible Spanish beers, then ordered 2 tapas each. Our favorite? The Portobello Relleno, @$8.95 which tasted like steak and left us mopping up each drop of Sherry with the complimentary bread, which was equally incredible. Less impressive was the "Salmon con Bonito" @ $9.50 which was vodka cured fish, which tasted like....a raw piece of flavorless fish. And then, most impressively, dessert. The "Crema Catalana" suggested by our friendly bartender, it was also hit. I am craving it right now. Overall, mostly hits on the menu, with a few meh items. The main drawback here is portion size. You need to eat slowly, enjoy extra complimentary bread, and order at least 2 tapas a piece, plus dessert, to leave satisfied. Our bill was $63 + $12 tip with the above mentioned eating strategy. I definitely want to come back for $4 Tapas Tuesdays, now that sounds like a deal!

at $4 tapas tuesday, we spent a little over $20 per person including wine and were happily stuffed! great venue, tasty food, friendly (and cute!) servers... wish i could come back to catch the flamenco show! advice: order a little at a time - it's easy to get stuffed real fast! wine available by the glass only.

Great atmosphere! Great entertainment! If you're not in the mood for some live entertainment, you can sit in the other room. It was crowded and lively pretty late into the night. The food didn't WOW us. We ordered 6 tapas between two people. Ceviche de Atun - supposedly the most popular (maybe because its most expensive) but wasn't great. I've had fresher and better tuna. Mejillones Ahumados - smoked mussels...never got to try this because it never came. Berenjenas Asadas - grilled eggplant with manchego. But it should be called manchego with grilled eggplant. It came in an eggplant pocket with paper thin slices of eggplant stuffed with manchego. I was hoping for something more veggie than cheese. But overall it was pretty good. Champinones al Ajillo - YUM! I think this was the favorite. The mushrooms were really good in this sauce. Nothing too wild about the types of mushrooms though. Mahi-Mahi Azafran - the fish was good but there wasn't enough sauce. I love leek but I didn't really like how it was prepared in this dish...or else it wasn't fresh. Piquillos Rellenos - my bf ordered this and he really like it. It was a pretty big portion for tapas. Overall, I don't think I'd go back for the food...maybe for some sangria and some good entertainment if I wanted to hang out with friends. The food wasn't too expensive. We ordered wine and 5 tapas (in the end) and it was less at 60 before tip. We weren't FULL, but weren't complaining.

Things were off to a bad start when the hostess ignored us upon walking in the door. After milling about, waiting for some friends, we interrupted the hostess from reading her book to tell her we had a party of 5. She nods then proceeds to wander about the dining room... comes back and seats a table that just walked in. Ok.. no biggie.. only a 2 top..maybe no room for 5? How do I know this when she has not spoken one word to us? She takes us into the middle of the dining room only to leave us standing to "check the reservation book"....Um? These are the things that I think a host should know.. but I guess I am not a hostess. She leaves us 3 menus for our party of 5 when she gets us seated. Thanks.. BTW, this whole interaction/non-interaction takes us 20 mins. I will have to say that I do like the interior of the restaurant. I will give the one star for the atmosphere. Sky high ceilings and intricate dark woodwork make for some interesting eye fodder. The chairs are uncomfortable. There are two different ones. The leather chairs are more comfortable but lower to the ground making one feel like they are eating at Andre the Giant's dining room table. The other straight backed rickety chairs were most likely made from the love child of Miss Manners and Mr. Magoo. The menu is quite extensive and maybe that is why it took 15 mins for a server to come by... maybe we needed the time to mentally digest the menu?.....just as we were giving up and leaving a server came by to get our drink order. "Can you tell me what beers you have?" Um, the beer list is right there. "Oh, sorry....Can I have a Dos Equis please?" No sorry.. we don't have that anymore. "It says here to ask you about the BIG beer menu" That is the big beer menu. "Um... ok...can I have _____?" No.. we don't have that anymore either. "Can I please have _____then?" We are out. "Well, what import beers do you still have?" The beer list is in your hand, Sir. As one can see... my group and I are not having much luck. After much hassle one pitcher of sangria and one Stella Artois are ordered. The list of food: Aceitunas Y Pimientos $3.50 Spanish olives and chilled peppers. Around 12 olives of green and black tossed in some evoo and oregano. Nothing special. Albondigas $5.95 Pork, Veal, and Chorizo meatballs. 4 Bland meatballs in an ok tomato sauce.. Patatas Bravas $4.50 Fried chunk potatoes in aioli. Slightly oily potatoes in a heavy garlic sauce. Probably the best thing I ate that night.. the best of the worst. Calamares Rellenos $7.95 Calamari stuffed with veal and chorizo. The worst of the worst. Imagine blending veal and chorizo in a high speed processor and liquefy. Then putting the concoction in an overcooked squid body and putting a bland sauce and cheese on top. Served tepid. The look, the smell, the taste, was very off. Queso De Cabra $7.95 Baked goat cheese. Exactly what it is.... baked goat cheese... no vehicle to get cheese into mouth.. no bread. no veg. no tin can. nothing. Stella Artois $4.67 each. Ouch. Sangria $32 for a pitcher...5.5 glasses. Double Ouch... Sangria es no buena. After paying $50 for our share of bill my boyfriend went and got something else to eat. Thanks, Ceviche for making our stomachs and wallets hurt like no other.

See Zach H. and Patrick P. s review. I really can not stand restaurants that A)make mistakes and don't own up to them B)People in the service industry that think they are too good for your business. C)Have no respect for the reservation nor special events. Eating out is supposed to be a special event but when it's a birthday, your job as a hospitality manager is tho treat it that way.

I've been to Ceviche twice in the past 2 months for two separate celebrations. I really like the atmosphere of the place. It's casual yet full of energy whenever I come. Generally, I like the whole tapas experience since it kind of forces you to interact with the people you're with. It's also an excellent excuse to pick off of someone else's plate without it being considered rude. The price for the serving can often be too much for what I usually like to spend on dinner, especially on tapas portions, but overall it's a great place to come to once in a while. This time around we ordered the ceviche de atun (tuna), codillo de cordero (braised lamb shank), portobello relleno (stuffed portabellos) and croquetas. Everything was delicious, but my favorite for that evening was a tie between the ceviche de atun and the portobello relleno. Any of their ceviches are actually pretty delicious (I would hope so since it's the restaurant's namesake). I was also pleasantly surprised at how large the spinach stuffed portabello was. The braised lamb shank was ok. The lamb itself was really good and it didn't have a potent gamey taste to it like I've had at other places, so that was a plus. However, the broth and whatever else was in it didn't really appeal to my tastebuds so it lost points for that. And maybe it's because I had the croquetas last and was already full at that point, but I thought that they were too fried and oily for my full stomach to handle. I wish I would've ordered the ox tail instead of the lamb shank though, but unfortunately for me my boyfriend isn't a big fan of ox tail. Maybe next time... All in all I would recommend this place to anyone. Once piece of advice: don't come on a saturday night with a large group unless you have reservations. And even then, I'd probably try to schedule a larger group dinner on a weeknight or even maybe a friday night. I'm definitely looking forward to my next visit. Hope to see you there!

Had the mahi mahi al patel which is mahi brazed in parchment paper with a saffron sauce peppers and mushrooms. Mahi was noticeably lacking flavour. I know its a white fish but i think this dish needs some flavour. my second dish was the filetito which is a sliced tenderloin over a sliced baguett blue cheese crumbles and grilled peppers and onions. It was awesome. I am definitely adding it to my list of regulars. Only 12.95. This trip to Ceviche was good but they are so inconsistent with food timing. Sometimes they are out in minutes. Other nights you sit around for a half hour wondering what happened. The red sangria is also a little inconsistent. It depends on whether you get a pitcher or a glass and who makes it. Sometimes they hit is a little to hard with the brandy. My go to order here is the potatas bravas, a morrillo (I believe that is how it is spelled) which is a lamb shank that falls of the bone at the slightest touch of a fork $15, and a felitito which is sliced tenderloin over a crunchy baguette slice, onions, red peppers, and blue cheese crumbles. The banderillas is a safe choic which is basically a kabob of chicken, chorizo, and filet be they sometimes overcook it. The Ceviche is always good.

I have to agree with other yelpers about the service at Ceviche in regards to large groups. My first visit here was a year or so ago for my birthday. We had a large group (15 people), one waiter, overwhelmed. They got our reservation mixed up with someone else's. They did not realize this until after we had sat. I think we were accommodated, I don't think the other group was. The wine is good, the food is amazing, but the service was definitely just 'eh'. It took the server FOREVER to bring desert and schecks, 30 minutes for cake (which was delicious when it came, but still). We had a table being held for us at a bar downtown and were really trying to get out of this place, it wasn't working. Second time at Ceviche: Party of 4, delicious food, great drinks, great service no drama. Loved it!

I'd have to give this place a medium to fair review based on going back to try more dishes. Also the authenticity. The decor in this place still reminds me of being out west in Texas rather than completely in a Spanish tapa envirionment. Speaking of tapas, which is what this place has, the menu is pretty extensive from seafood to paella to vegetarian. As a large group we got to sample many items, but did not even graze the surface of their menu. Let's see; I won't insult them by trying to butcher the names of the dishes we tried, but everything was....well ok. I have some suggestions, and the first is one for all tapas places. Half the time unless obviously described, we don't know what we are doing, so a meal combo/sequence might be in order. Tell us which tapas items might go well together. My other suggestion is more room on the tables, and a more compact menu (I couldn't open the whole thing without whacking the person next to me in the chin). Overall I would repeat this place, and definitely on a night when there is entertainment......and try the sangria Dafe

Steve G.

what a place!! great date night fer sure and also i've been told that post date night brunch is good too. make sure you're gonna score though cause the bill will be high as the tapas size dishes are small but damn they are amazingly tasty. the place must be good when the only complaint was that the duck was a bit overcooked.. i cannot recommend enough that you get ESPINACAS- spinach with figs ,sweet onions in a honey sauce. o my god! i got the marinated and grilled quail which came over the espinacas and i swear, best dish i've had all year. the manager even rectified a misunderstanding on the bill with no problem. Sangria does not count as wine on 1/2 off wine Wednesday i guess.

Great entertainment with their live flamenco. They also played some salsa to dance to. The sangria is great and if you eat there try the Albondigas!

I've been a happy camper with Ceviche. The restaurant is super cool, and although I've never been to Spain, this is pretty much how I imagine it to be. Here's my big issue. I had a realization that I could probably go for dinner, order only the Patatas Bravas and be good. I love this side dish way too much. I'm not the biggest potato lover, but these little potato wedges coated in a spicy Aioli make me go all gooey inside. We also shared a variety of other tapas: The Filetito (Tenderloin with Onions and Peppers), Tabla de Quesos (Cheese Plate that included an amazing Blue Cheese and Quince paste), Gambas Romesco (large Shrimp in a spicy Romesco Sauce which, for the record, is not nearly as good as mine), and the Fritura de Mariscos (basically a giant plate of fried Fish, Shrimp and Calamari. The only let down of the evening.). This sounds like a crazy amount of food, but remember-this is a Tapas restaurant! Small plates galore! We also enjoyed a bottle of 2008 Muga Rosado-a fantastic dry Rose blend of Garnacha, Viura and Tempranillo. If you are a fan of Roses, I have good news. I think we're really on the cusp of a huge influx of Roses from Spain and even Southern France. I encourage you to explore-my personal favorite is the Garnacha grape, otherwise known as the Grenache in France. Dry and fruity, these are always a hit during our freaklishly hot Florida summers.

My group came here at 8 pm on Friday night. I expected to have a bit of a wait due to the day and time. As I walked in I saw several empty tables and thought that maybe our wait wouldn't be so long. When I walked up to the hostess stand they told me it was a 40 min wait. I said ok we can wait at the bar. She turned away when I was waiting for her to give me the buzzer. Then she walked off. I waited for her and told her I want to wait for a table, she said ok. Then I asked how she will let me know that there is a free table. She said ok let me get your number. We started a 40 min timer and waited. As we wait we can see 4 tables and 2 booths with nobody in them for at least 15-20 mins. with a few minutes shy of 40 mins I get a call from the restaurant, when I answer they hang up. I go to the desk and ask why, they said wrong number it will probably be a 40 minute wait! My group of 3 people has been to 6 of 7 continents although I don't think anybody goes to Antarctica. None of us have ever encountered such blatant rude elitist treatment paired with stupidity. (and btw we always dress nicely, and we were dressed for a business conference that we had just attended) After this treatment we decided to leave we walked down the street and ended up having an amazing meal at Kres, without having a long wait. A restaurant that was just as busy as this one.

The food has taken a quality nose-dive. This place used to have incredible tapas (that were a bit on the expensive side), not they have mediocre tapas (still on the expensive side). Everything else is the same, but now when I eat there, I always leave wondering what happened to the great food. It is still a great place for some drinks and some live entertainment. There is not always live entertainment though, so make sure to check with them before going over.

A group of 9 of us went here last Saturday night for friend's birthday. We were running slightly behind and called to let them know that we would be later than our reservation time and they accommodated us, which was fantastic. First, the interior of the restaurant has great ambiance and really cool architecture. The dancers and musicians were so much fun to watch during dinner! I loved it. They make the sangria right at your table and it was phenomenal. Every dish we had was delicious and filling. I liked the chicken and pork paella better than the veggie one. The baked eggplant (I forget what the name of the dish is) was probably my favorite. Even though I don't eat mussels I was convinced to try some of the sherry sauce they were in and I'm so glad I did - I think we all dipped bread into it until it was finished. We had a number of other dishes and I can't remember one that I did not like. The dessert was equally as impressive - creme brule in a dark chocolate shell, YES PLEASE! The reason Ceviche is minus one star though was because of our waitress who, honestly, acted like she was on another planet. Other waitresses actually came over to assist our table, which saved the night. She forgot drinks and another dish we ordered after our initial order (which was comped for us - extremely nice). She did spill a large number of drinks on another table and I felt guilty for secretly being happy that it was not us. Other than that, we had an incredibly enjoyable meal and when I am in the Orlando area again I will definitely be back.

Tried Ceviche for the first time on Friday (on recommendation from my trainer). Tapas were great. Our waiter recommended several dishes to us. Our favorites were the Tuna and Salmon Ceviche. But the hummous, sauteed spinach w/honey and figs; and the Portabello Mushroom were also delicoius. We will definitely try this place again. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant.

the patatas bravas are out of this world good. i could seriously go there and just eat a plate of those. they are covered in an aioli that looks and tastes like garlic cheese. mmmmm. we also had the short ribs which were a bit pricey but totally worth it. the consensus at the table was that these two items were the best. the people at our table also said the octopus was good but i can not vouch for that myself. sangrias are strong so watch out.

Tanya F.

Dinner at 8ish on a Saturday...very busy and the wait was excessive. They only had 7 pagers and had given them all out so they took our phone number to call us when our table was ready. After a long wait and noticing a couple that came in after us was seated before us, I asked the hostess when we would be seated. She stated she tried to call us and then gave our table to the next couple. The phone call went straight to voicemail , the hostess walked past us many times, and sat a few feet away and never bother to ask to see if we were the people she tried to call. Restaurant had a nice ambiance, soft lighting, and live music. The band was great! The food was just OK, pricey , the portions small . and the drinks (wine and Margarita) were not impressive.

Yum! The food is great and so is the atmosphere. On the weekends they have live entertainment and Flamenco dancers. My favorites include the Ensalada Mediterranea which consists of grilled salmon, scallops and mussels with olive oil, served over greens with cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, walnuts, roasted peppers, artichokes and green olives. Mmmm! I also love the ceviches. They are a must try if you are a ceviche fan. The freshly made sangria is delightful as well. The service can be slow and, I would definitely recommend a reservation for a large party.

Went here once and will never go back. We showed up during happy hour and ordered wine that was suppose to be on happy hour. However when we got the bill we were charged the regular price even though we requested the happy hour wine! The bartender said the wine we were served was not on happy hour even though we specifically told him what we wanted he served us another brand! Nice old bait and switch! They may have made a few extra bucks in that one transaction but lost returning patrons that would have spent more in the long run!

Went to ceviche for Tapas Tuesday. Food was great, service ?.. Ok It seemed that the waiter was in a hurry and it didnt seem busy. We ordered off the $4 menu with 1 Seafood Ceviche. Ceviche was excellent. Potaoes were great, with just the right amount of spice. The spinach and fig was fantastic. We had mussles, clams, chicken, meatballs. All very good. The white sangria was excellent. We had so much food for the three of us. i think four people could have easily eaten. Bill came to $55 with 1 Sangria and 2 beers. Definately go on Tuesday!

Stacy H.

This place is definitely not what I was hoping for =( I was excited they were open super late, the main reason I chose this place. I expected complete busy madness, being a trendy restaurant on church street, on a Friday night, at 11pm. Yay, wasn't too crowded but still we somehow got the worst table in the house. A small round high top in the middle of the bar craziness, with a giant pole in the middle of the table. NOT a good idea, when wanting to order several tapas! It wasn't a small pole either, this was a column that took up most of the table! The second I saw the flamenco guitar player & dancers I realized any conversing I planned on having, went out the window. SO loud! Can barely hear servers & so dark, can't read menu without cellphone light. Their menu has a huge variety, & most of the items seemed like repeats but I managed to find a few things. The server was expectedly slow, but the food came super quick! (my tiny, $10 drink, not so quick) my drink was disgusting, because I had no idea what I was ordering, I'm sure. Food was ok. Definitely NOT worth the $30 a person, I spent. & all I had was mushrooms, olives & hummus. Not even filling! I will probably never come back here. Nothing on the menu intrigued me for more. The entertainment was good! Fun dancers, good guitar playing. Snooty waitress. Reading this review...why did I leave a 30% tip, again?

We are here for work this week and this place was recommended by a server at another restaurant in Orlando. The space itself is beautiful and very romantic, although the lighting was a little bright. Our bartender, Jeison was really knowledgeable about the food and wine. The wine list was a little overwhelming and not knowing Spanish wines he was able to help us find some nice selections by the glass. Really liked the Rose they have by the glass. We tried quite a few dishes. The tuna tartar was fabulous. Loved the 5 chorizo's dish. Their house ceviche is really good. Very different from any version I have had as it has tomato in it and really liked that. The spinach and figs was not great, a little too oily, garlicky and oniony for me. Enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend it. My only complaint: the music. Wow! Muzak! We walked in to a version of John Denver's Rocky Mountain High? They are went out of their way to be as authentic as possible and I would have expected some great Latin music and I have to say the music made it feel more like your grand parents place, not a hip romantic spot.

Great hang out place to drink and eat while downtown. I like their ceviche and tapas dishes to share. The Rabo de Toro (Oxtail), Chorizo al Brandy, Morillo de Conchinillo (Braised Pork), and the Patatas Bravas are all good choices to try. I've had tried other dishes, but I can't remember them all. I know for sure the ones I just listed were awesome. The patatas bravas are good to eat while drinking. Enjoy!

So why is it I come in shortly after 5:30, order 4 tapas and yet here I sit at 6:15, one tapas delivered and everyone who ordered after us has been fully served. Some in fact have ordered the same dishes as we ordered and arrived 15 minutes after we did. I've been to three other Ceviche locations and never a disappointment. One this occasion, I'm not very impressed. When we ran out of time to get to our event at the arena our waiter was nice enough to charge us for the one dish we did receive rather quickly so we could get on our way. The one item we did have was great, the Sangria nice as always and the bread with dipping oil super tasty. Unfortunate that we didn't get to sample the other items we ordered.

DISCLAIMER:This review is strictly confined to the tapas served on Tapas Tuesday that come from the low price tapas menu. Never really got a sense of authenticity with the food. The dishes all had Spanish names and I was expecting something of that nature. Unfortunately my experience was that these dishes were really just slightly dressed up versions of standard American fare. For example, Croquetas de Bacalo is a fishstick. The Gambas y Aguate was ehh. Did I destroy every morsel of the meal? Yes. Do I understand that a Croquete de Bacalo really is a fried fishstick? Yes. Was I hoping for much more? Yes. On a positive note the drinks were fab.

I gave this place 3 stars because of the inconsistency in the menu. It really is hit or miss depending on what you order. Some of the food is very good and some of it isn't. The menu is way too big and could slash about 80% of it. Most recent experience was better than previous encounters. We had a big party and only one server but she did an awesome job keeping up with us. Get the Patatas Bravas.

Fantastic all the way around! I went here last night with a group of about 10 people. We sampled close to 15 different items from the extensive menu and nearly everything we tried was delicious. I'm talking about cuisine so flavorful that the food tap dances across your tongue! Pork, eggplant, filet mignon, shrimp, baked goat cheese, chorizo... oh my! They even had this homestyle potatoes dish which, believe it or not, was mega charming! We didn't have room to try the lamb unfortunately. A couple items were pretty okay, but not mind blowing (the spinach + honey, and the "banderillas mixtas" or mixed kabob platter--the chicken was pretty basic). The best thing to do is to go with a group of friends, order a variety of things and everybody shares. You will be full AND you'll be satiated. Expect to kick in about $20 and you're golden! Not a bad price for tasty, worldy fare that fills you up. Our server Catalina was perfect. Very friendly, and she came around at just the right times. How did she know? And the food came out VERY quickly. One improvement I'd make is to get more comfortable chairs. This is the kind of place you want to take your time to enjoy yourself. 4.5 stars.

Tapas Tuesday brings many possibilities. Good company and great food. It's really the other way around because, as many say, what good is something if you don't have someone to share it with. It sure makes things a little sweeter, doesn't it? Any who, this time I preordered the tres leches when I sat down. I wanted to taste Ceviche's rendition of the classic three milks dessert. I have tasted my share of Tres Leches and this was a great one! The meal instantly went from good to great with the sight of this beast. It was the biggest I've ever seen (insert joke here) but it was more than a pretty sight. It had moist, delicious depth. Properly soaked and the whipping was true to recipe. The presentation was lovely and I couldn't wait to dig in. This was a community dessert as they handed us several spoons. The lactose intolerants couldn't even resist! This blew away any other desserts they had on the menu and quite possibly among the top Tres Leches in town. I downed it. I can't lie.

This is one of the best tapas restaurants that I have visited. The selections were much bigger than any place I have ever been and the quality was very good. A local recommended the place and I was a little concerned when I walked in at 6:30 and the place was dead. However, by the time I left, the place was packed. I highly recommend this place

This place has already gotten a lot of reviews, so I thought I should share my own experiences. A lot of people mention they go here for special occasions with the family. I guess they don't have my family, because I went with mine a few weeks ago and wouldn't recommend it, with the sharing, and the ordering, and the atmosphere it gets a bit much. I would, however, recommend taking a date, or a small group because the atmosphere IS right for this crowd, and the sharing is a lot of fun. It's right, people tend to go overboard with the ordering, you only need 1.5 plates per person to get a good ratio flowing. The dishes, and even better, the deserts are a lot of fun, and contain flavors that you won't find downtown otherwise.

We stumbled in here about 8 pm saturday night, which is late and the place was packed. 45 min wait for a table. We sat at the bar and were served as promptly as possible, no complaints their. We just had a few tapas which were awesome. Black grouper ceviche, veal and pork stuffed squid and lamb ribs which were my fav of the three. I will go back.

What a gorgeous gorgeous place. I loved the building, the location, the waiter we had, sitting at the bar, getting tipsy off their delicious sangria. I loved it all. From the oh-so-good super garlicky mushrooms, to the fresh from the oven bread, to the avocado shrimp caper concoction, I adored this place. I loved the ambiance and the chill atmosphere. The review saying this place was "broke down palace" like is totally accurate, minus the drugbust/thai jail thing that movie has going on. I can not wait to go back here...I'm a hug fan of anything to do with mushrooms and garlic, so those things together make this girl go back for more...

I ate here with my family for my birthday and really enjoyed the food. I also love the location and am always happy to see things happening downtown. I gave this 4 stars because the service was OK, not bad, but also not overly impressive. There was one point where all of our drinks were empty and we were wanting to order more tapas...finally the waiter reappeared to take our order and bring us more drinks.

EDIT: Ceviche is losing a star from me (from 5 to 4). They are getting muy popular but seem to be unable to handle it very well. I tried to order the scallop ceviche dish last night, and after the final round of tapas it still had not arrived. I asked the waiter and he said they had to defrost it.... so I cancelled the order. Also, they seem to have added massive amounts of garlic to the espinaca dish I loved when I first went. I dig garlic, alot. But my first bite of the night was probably and entire clove of garlic to 2 small pieces of baby spinach. Everything tasted like garlic after that. Kinda sucked. Still a great place, I hope they learn to manage the crowds better. HOORAY! That is what my taste buds shouted all throughout the meal at Ceviche. The gazpacho was a dream, though I wish it'd either been a smaller portion or portioned out for the party. (A communal soup bowl is a little gross). The hit of the night was the Espinaca, sauteed spinach with honey, garlic and figs. Might sound scary, but it was so good we almost ordered 2 helpings. There is such a good variety of dishes here, vegetarians will be happy as will the carnivores... and everyone in between. I didn't catch the flamenco show, but next time I most definitely will. According to their website, they are open for breakfast, which is yet another thing I'll have to check and report back on.

I can't believe I didn't find this place sooner ... I tend to enjoy small bites. Lots of small bites. And this is the perfect place to enjoy some really delicious, flavorful stuff! Although they offer traditional food and sandwiches, the fun thing to do is go with a small group, order several tapas and pass them around. I went with two others and we enjoyed 6 different items, ranging from oh-so-delicious hummus with crostini to creamy shrimp & avocado salad to chorizo & bell peppers in this to-die-for spicy tomato sauce. We were there for lunch on a Thursday and were shocked that only two other tables were full. I think this is downtown's best kept secret. Maybe they get more business at night, but it makes for a perfect lunch. Oh, and the desserts are fabulous, too. We tried the triple chocolate cake and the creme brulee in an edible chocolate bowl. YUMMMMM!!!!! Tapas range from $3-9. That can get expensive if you're footing the bill, but it can be split. If you like to sample lots of different stuff and have a couple hours to spare at lunchtime, definitely check out this spot. And try to get a table by the huge windows. It's fun to see the people walking by on Church Street. I definitely will have to check this out by nite, too!

I had already been to the Ceviche branch in St. Peterburg before I visited the one in Orlando so I had high expectations, and they were fulfilled. Tried to walk in an early Saturday night but a long wait for the sit down tables. Instead we ended up at a good little bar table close to the stage. Order a range of great tapas size dishes and the food is generally top notch. I especially liked the Higados de Pollo but we warned that it is no lean cuisine. Grabbed a pitcher with sangria and enjoyed some great guitar play and flamenco. Great place!

A hidden gem in Orlando. Authentic Spanish cuisine with plates to the same taste you will find in Spain. ( I am Spanish and have spent all my summers and winters growing up to travel to Spain to visit family.) One of the many things which I love about this place is they have not Americanized any of there dishes. Along with the wonderful food they offer an extensive wine list featuring riojas, and other Spanish wines throughout Spain. Separating them out by the different regions. So far we have been there 3 times, and there will be many more to come. We have been here in Orlando 3 years, and out only regret about the restaurant is not having found out about it sooner.

We went here for my husband's birthday and it was AMAZING!!! We loved the ambiance, the service was impeccable, and all the dishes that our waiter recommended were beyond delicious. It was SO incredibly good that we had to eat here again before we left from our vacation. I have to say that this was my very first tapas experience (not sure what took me so long to try it) so there may be other great places that I'm unaware of, but to me this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. I still long for the mouth watering Portobello Relleno dish (stuffed portobello mushroom). SO ridiculous how good it is! If only they had a Ceviche location in CA.

Love it, love it, love it. Fun, funky, classy, delicious food, fantastic (and fantastically *priced*) wine list; a great place to expand your horizons and learn more about Spanish food and wine! Chill atmosphere in the dining room -- excitement in the flamenco bar.

I was in Orlando for business and heard from a friend we needed to try this place out. Great call friend! There was a wide variety of tapas to choose from for your vegetarian friend (me), meat-loving friend, afraid-of-seafood friend, and your can't-get-enough-seafood friend. I didn't hear one person complain about a single dish the whole night. I did hear quite a few wows and mmms. Get a pitcher of red sangria as it's quite delicious. The bill split between all seven of us came out to 30 a person or so, but we ate like kings. They also have tiny bottle of Tabasco sauce you can take with you. Pretty cool. The location seemed really good too, but being an out-of-towner, I don't know for sure.

Love this place!! My girlfriend and I go here whenever we get a chance. Tapas Tuesdays are amazing! You get great food and great value....My girlfriend loves the $4 White Sangria with Apple slices. We always get great service but this last time, our server Jason was exceptional! We will be returning very soon....

Gayle G.

Yeah, it really felt just a little brokedown palace for us. The food was good, but not great. Interestingly, the ceviche was the biggest disappointment for us. First, it was cooked. Second, it was OVERcooked and a little tough. The service was ok, but a little awkward and in consistent. Too much olive oil in the spinach dish we had, too. Probably not a repeater for me.

THE WORST SERVICE EVER!!!! We had one extra person in our party. They failed to accomodate us, and the manager could have cared less. We had a table for 14, so they lost out on all of that business. I will never eat there, and will spread the word about the crappy customer service. It is such a shame that the culture of customer service is so poor within this restaurant. I was really looking forward to eating here. The atmosphere is very cool and the menu looked amazing. Too bad the skinny little manager skipped the customer service portion of his training. That's why they call it the HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY numbskull!!!!

Boooo. I've been here before, and have had a decent time. Tonight, however, was lacking. I was in a party of 8. I ordered the corozones de alcachofas, which is artichokes and hearts of palm. Seems simple, no prep needed. However, I received this almost at the end of the meal for 8 people! My friends received their steaks and chicken before I received this easy dish. I also ordered the solomillo segiovia, which is a beef tenderloin baked in a pastry shell. I was told this would take 20 minutes to prepare, for which I was prepared and willing to wait. So here comes the food for our party of 8. I'm still waiting for my cold artichoke appetizer, while 7 of my friends are almost done with all of their dishes. My waitress then comes and says its almost ready. I say ok. Then my friends order dessert. My waitress says the oven is slow, and will need at least 20 more minutes, at least, to finish my tapas plate. It has already been 30 minutes since I ordered. She says she will bring another beef entree out. She brought the solomillo a la parilla, which was just awful. I didn't eat any of it, and returned it. She didn't charge me for it, but that's all. No manager ever came over, no apologies made, just a "oh, we didn't make your food, we won't charge you." My waitress was very apologetic, but management should have taken some responsibility. I will not be returning to this restaurant. I also work in the food industry, and this was just unacceptable.

Came out to Ceviches on Friday for my first time with Amy, and by midnight it became my favorite place in downtown Orlando. The atmosphere, interior design, culture and music was fantastic. We didn't order dinner, but we did order an appetizer of some potatoes with garlic sauce (can't remember the name, but they were really tasty). Kurt, our waiter/bartender, was attentive and made sure we always had what we wanted. Can't speak on the dinner experience, but that review is inevitable and will be here shortly ;)

Why W.

Inattentive hostess, lackluster waitstaff, mix-ed up expeditors, small portions, over seasoned food, lame creations, small drinks. Nothing charmed me. We went here on a recommendation, but I wasn't impressed. The decor is charming, but the tables are crooked and small considering the size of the place. We drove towards St. Augustine for the next part of our trip, and on the way I kept telling my husband I was going to want to stop and eat someplace because I was not satisfied with my meal. Something that would be cheap to make, homemade potato chips w/blue cheese - well the portion was tiny and the blue cheese came in a black solo container. Lame on the presentation in my books. How do you dip potato chips in blue cheese crumbles? In a tiny cup? I don't get it. The duck breast was so small, I think it was really a cornish hen breast. After the third tapas, I finally decided to give up and get the check. This was NOT going to get better. I'd rather stop and eat someplace else than throw more money and time at this experience. Too bad, nice location and neat building.

I wish I could give it 5 stars, but it's just not there. The pork was good (but suffered from this bizarre new thing where pork is cooked "to temperature." Sorry, trichinosis is gross!), the chicken was better, and the shrimp was a little too heavy on the coriander. The servers were friendly and attentive, the building is beautiful, and it's nice to have an eclectic dining option downtown :)

I blame Ceviche's management for the bad service we received this past Saturday night. I blame them because the problems we experienced could not be blamed on a few staff members. The magnitude of the problems indicated that the problems were systemic. First we were told that the kitchen closed early (even though there was 15 minutes left until the kitchen was supposed to close, second, a woman (from another table) was so angry that we could hear her yelling at the manager that her table was cleared before her and her husband were finished eating. Third, 20 minutes before closing time somone turned on all the lights in the place, which really illuminated all the cobwebs and dust in the place that couldn't be seen under the normally dark atmosphere. Fourth, 10 minutes before the bar closed the bartender started banging some sort of wooden stick on the bar that was so loud that I swear I thought firecrackers were going off. He did this every 3-4 minutes until we left. I know this seems extreme... but I guess they really wanted to leave quickly. The food, overall, was OK. On the positive side, the salmon ceviche was very good, and so was the pesto that came with the bread. The management needs to get control of their staff.

Glad we tried it, but don't know if we'll be back. Went on a Saturday at 10:30 and had to wait for a table. Busy - there was a wait at the bathroom and it was quite loud. Very limited beer selection - need some craft brews. Food was $9 to $15 a plate, and each plate had enough food for 6 to 10 bites each. With just 3 of us, the portions were small for each of us to get a taste. We got 5 different plates, and 2 of us were still a little hungry when we left.

Our party of six asked for a table, no reservations, around 7:30p and the waitress said it would be 20 minutes or so because a table was just about to leave. I kept an eye on the table and 5 minutes later the diners left but 15 minutes later the table was cleaned off... irregardless of the fact that I wanted the table cleared off for myself.. 15 minutes is too long to leave a dirty table in the middle of a nice restaurant. The hostess came over and asked if we were the party or "four, five... six?" which was confusing to me because six bodies were in front of her and 20 minutes earlier we gave her our name and the number of people in our party... hmmm... that tight black dress might have cut off the circulation to her pretty little head. Howevs -- our waiter was so awesome! He was very energetic and dramatic -- a drama night school attendee no doubt -- who was very willing to get us anything we needed. This was my first tapas bar experience and I was really intrigued by all the food choices. We tried practically everything and I enjoyed the speediness with which things came out ( as soon as they were prepared they were on the table) . I especially liked the deviled eggs (I know odd but sooo good), papas fritas, and papas bravas. Forgive my lack of name knowing.. but we also had croquettas (i think!) with chicken and ham in one and fish in the other -- the meat is all ground up and coated with bread crumbs then deep fried.. like huge expensive fish sticks but so so good! We got chicken with a thick green coat of herbs on top that was also very good. 5 star food with 4 star staff.. many of them walked around aimlessly as if they were lost... ps: the sparkling sangria is the best I've ever had!

I've only been here once and it was when I was just visiting town, so I may not have a big say in this place. Not gonna lie, the food was pretty good. Its pretty pricey, but most tapas are. I had the ceviche island mojito and it was pretty darn good. I kept sipping it to savour the taste! It seems like a fun place to eat and have a few drinks but don't expect to be able to hear what the person you are with is saying..it gets pretty loud in the restaurant... as if the sound waves are bouncing off the wall and off to another table. You almost have to scream to talk to the person across from you. Almost every dish we got was very tasty. I don't remember the names, but we had tuna ceviche, frog legs, chicken liver and mushrooms, artichoke bottoms with ham and cheese, and a couple of other things. The best thing was the artichoke bottom with ham and cheese, you must try it! They also bring you bread (i think its french bread) with some dipping sauce that was so yummy. Obviously, it being a tapas bar, i was not very full. So I kept munching on everything, making sure i ate every little sliver! Once I got to the very last dish (chicken liver with mushroom), I was using the bread to slather up all the sauce left in the bowl. Then I noticed something kinda hard and weird. That was weird...... then I chewed again. This time it was a sharp, jabbing feeling right into my gums! I pulled out a piece of what looked like to be a metal shard, but they told me it was part of the aluminum foil that was in the food when they prepared it. WTF! That must have been some heavy-heavy-heavy duty aluminum foil! I was PISSED! We told the waitress and she took the dish with the piece of foil to the back, and came back and apologized and said that the dish would be taken off our bill and they would give us free desserts. Really? Do you think I want to eat some of your desserts after that? Uh, no. So we just tried to ask for our check in the nicest way possible. Then the manager came out and apologized to me personally and said that they would discount the bill. I thought it was very nice of him to come out and do that, but he should have been the first one to come see me anyways, not that waitress. Anyways, food is good. I'm sure it was just a one-time thing that happened and it does not happen very often. Every kitchen has their mishaps. The food is 4 stars -- price, atmosphere, and my experience is what made it 2 stars.

Best tapas I've ever had! Food was fantastic - every dish had so much flavor. The patatas bravas were so good we had to order a second serving. I was even so daring that I tried the snails, which were awfully good. Also, the service was really quick. We were a party of five and within 10 minutes of sitting down, we already had food on the table. The best part of the whole experience is the food was inexpensive. We were all stuffed at the end and only had to cough up $30 each, including tip. I would definitely come here again if I'm in Orlando.

We had gone here for a very special occasion and had traveled very far to do so. The management on the evening in question were the rudest I have ever dealt with. Not only was it embarrassing but uncalled for. I have been there before and it has really gone down since that time. They seem to not care about customer service here and the quality of management for this, "Prior Hot Spot" has gone to the lowest bidder. Do not bother trying to address a situation here as you will be cursed at and spoken to like a child! As with the old Church Street Station, so goes Civiche. It will soon be a thing of the past at their own doing if they do not address this problem quickly. Customer service used to mean something and in today's economic times, their $$ a person dinner deserves much more appreciation to the travelers who patron their establishment.

My husband and I tried Ceviche a while back while celebrating a friend's birthday, and I have to say we were really unimpressed. Given the high price we paid for this trendy food, we expected a high-quality meal. That certainly wasn't the case. We found the food to be way over-cooked or relatively bland. In fact, most of the meat we had seemed to be completely burned to a crisp, like the cook fell asleep at the grill or something (and we tried a bunch of different types of meat!). If that's how tapas is meant to be, then count me out! The only saving grace for me was the sangria. To me, Ceviche is definitely not worth the price nor the headache to park downtown.

I just went for the first time and it was great! I ended up there with 4 other people on a Monday night after our first choice restaurant happened to be closed on Mondays. The place was pretty empty but our server was energetic and attentive and the meal came out at a good pace. We each ordered 1 item to share, then another round, then desserts. Everything was just as good as it sounded in the menu. The dessert was probably the best part though. The server told us that everything was made fresh in house and you could tell! The flan was perfect, the orange and chocolate torte valenciana was divine and the most amazing and first to disappear was the almond pastry (I can't remember its name in Spanish) . It was HEAVENLY. The tapas meal was great but I will go back again just for dessert and drinks. The prices are reasonable for tapas and pretty cheap for Church Street.

Great place for fun relax birthday! Just reserved a head of time. We usually have it at the bar area and order tapas and drinks. Anyone can come and go as they please and no pressure on having to order food, if they just want to hangout and drink. We have multiple birthday gathering at this place. Live music at the bar is a little too loud but pretty awesome. The dining room is more formal but still a great place, if you plan to have sit down meals. You can go casually dress but suggest formal without jacket, and dressy without being too flashy.

Tristen S.

The service was attentive without being annoying for our party of ten. The drinks came with frequency-we had pitchers of Sangria-and the waiter ensured that our glasses were filled personally. They have tapas portions small enough for one or two, or if you prefer you can get the larger portions (racion) and share with the table. Everything was flavorful, but the Croquetas de Bacalao were a favorite of the group overall. Even with the smaller portions there were enough for tasting. Next time I definitely want to try the Paella Negra with the black rice colored with squid ink. Should make for a fabulous presentation with shellfish.

I'm in Florida for seven weeks covering spring training, and it's hard to find good food here outside of the chain restaurant set. As I love any and all foods Iberian, I thought the food at Ceviche authentic to what one could find in Spain. My only gripe is the size portioning. It's where Ceviche misses the mark in terms of being a top-notch tapas restaurant. Instead of small, sharing plates, the portions are almost the size of a full meal. Between two people, we ordered six plates (par for the course for us) and ate just three of them. The pato de parilla (duck in a chocolate sauce) is now in the fridge, never touched. The asparagus was just so-so, but the Sevilla-style mushrooms are a must. The fried calamari was also tasty. The hit of the night was a white bean chilli, complete with a touch of chorizo. All washed down with Alhambra beer.

I have been to Ceviche many times and can't say I've had a bad dish there. Food is excellent it's great for a group of people. We have had desserts, ceviche, paella, most meats and salads. My review is not long or descriptive just go you'll like it.

Diana L.

holy flamenco! (in tribute to the flamenco painting by the hostess) that's a huuuuge menu! where is one supposed to start? how about with some tablas mixtas? the homemade pate was awesomely delicious with the dried fig. and you'll get your fruit and dairy serving for the day there too. then indulge on with portabello relleno. juicy, tasty, nutricious, and hearty enough to substitute for a meat dish. if you're still not full, you will be after the gambas romesco. some of the best tasting sauce i have ever had, it is a puree of red peppers, tomatoes, saffron, and almonds. SO good. if you must have a starch, the paella de puerco y porco was the right texture, though our version had a little bit too much white wine in it. and i think that was about all of my favorite things on the menu! it's definitely a great place to go for sharing, and in southern style, tapas servings are large! (if only they would give us bigger tables to put all of the dishes on -- hello, it is tapas). it gets lively for dinner and i loved the floor to ceiling windows looking out onto the romantically lit church street. the service was sweet, though sometimes slow when you needed them most. oh! don't forget the red sangria -- to help get your hip twisting on!

Probably my favorite bar/restaurant downtown. The food is typically incredible, and there so many different choices that everyone is bound to find something they like. Typically sit at the bar, have some drinks, listen to the music/dancers, then order food. Everything is fairly reasonably priced (last time I went, got 2 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine, and 5 ceviches for $75). Had spotty service a couple of times (rainy and cold out, so barely anyone was there), so the bartender decided hitting on a group of girls was worth 99% of his attention as opposed to serving people (can't say I'd disagree w/him from his point of view) but that was the only time it was awful. The location in Sarasota gets 5 stars too, best place out there.

I've been here twice. The first time was "Tapas Tuesday" I believe. First off, let me state how much I loved the tapenade they brought to our table with bread. I would love to buy it in bulk. From there it was mostly downhill. The albondigas (meatballs) are acceptable (ok, but nothing you'd look forward to ordering. The ham croquettes were as expected. The salmon tapas I had was amazing. I am not a fan of cooked salmon, and this blew me out of the water. BUT. The service was terrible. Truly. It took my friend and I almost 2 hours to get out of there. 15-20 minutes of eating, The rest was waiting for the waiter. Did I mention I didn't get one refill the entire time I was there? So about a half hour to get our drinks from being seated, and over an hour of hoping he cared to stop by to refill, which by that point we were happy to get our check so we could leave. Today's visit was worse. First the claim they don't have tapenade but pesto for the table, and have never had tapenade (or anything like that). Ok, sure, one of your high points never existed, I'll roll with it. The pesto that comes to the table is tolerable. I have a much review-praised sangria. Very very dry. This time I try the Tartaros (tuna tartar), very pleased. As I'm eating, my family and I watch the center tapas preparer (cuts sausages, and cheeses at a station in open view in middle) as he cuts some food, stops, uses same knife to cut open an envelope which I can only assume holds his paycheck, looks at it, and goes back to cutting meats. Hmmm. ok. Then later we watch as he is cutting and cleaning what looks like raw squid or octopus, then immediately places that knife unwiped into a holding area with all the other knives (which he uses to directly cut previously mentioned meats and cheeses meant directly for serving). All the while we have to hope a pray that our waitress remembers us. Almost a total of one hour spent today waiting on our waitress for drinks, food and check. Cut forward to 2 hours later, and one of my family has already managed to get physically ill (most polite way I can say expunged her food). Nice atmosphere, has had a couple of perks, but can not overcome service, prices, and the fear of hygiene practices and those subsequent consequences.

This was my first ever experience with Spanish cuisine and tapas. And this has now become my personal favourite. Service: 4/5 Ambience: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Presentation: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5 This is a must go. The house wine is amazing (Syngria). The Patatas Bravas is a must eat! The Trilogia Cholates is a sinful dessert. Just loved it.

One must dive into the history of Latin cuisine in order to appreciate your venture to Ceviche, Orlando's newest addition of culinary excellence, inspired by the Latin's love of tapas. The name Ceviche derives from an age-old Peruvian dish that consists of a citrus marinated seafood salad. It is a Latin American delicacy which consists of white fish, octopus, shrimp and chunks of tuna or crab. The marinade used in ceviche serves a dual purpose, to cook and to season. The citrus based liquid the fish soaks in consists mainly of lemons and limes to pickle or to "cook" the fish without heat . This unique way of preparing the seafood allows it to remain tender and succulent. This unique Spanish restaurant that originally opened in 1997 in Tampa Bay, Florida has already been voted 'Top Twenty New Restaurants in Florida' by Florida Trend Magazine. So needless to say my palate was piqued and dying to feast from its overwhelming menu that offers an impressive 100 different hot and cold Latin tapas (in the $6 to $12 range) as well as paella and cazuelas. Most tapas dishes originate from Northern Spain and Ceviche imports its ingredients to keep alive the authenticity of the food. Upon my arrival, I take note that Ceviche is a romantically dark, yet surprisingly spacious venue. The eatery takes over a seasoned part of Orlando's history at Church Street Station where Rosie O'Grady's once was. The gorgeous Spanish tile married with deep shades of red adorn the floors, walls and tables. Incorporating natural materials of wrought iron and dark walnut give it the restaurant old world flair. In the middle of the dining area, I was surprised to see wreaths of garlic and meaty legs of cured ham hung to entice my hunger. Although the interior and dark lighting feel dreamy and cozy, I do not recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner on a Friday or Saturday night as the high ceilings cause voices to carry and it becomes quite noisy. I felt myself almost yelling to my fellow diners. Keep the romantic dinners to the middle of the week when the restaurant is sparse with patrons. My party and I started with cocktails and decided no good time goes unpunished without Ceviche's exclusive wine list. We grabbed a bottle of red for about $30 bucks. I highly suggest ordering a bottle. If you order by the glass, you will pay through the nose for the amount served. I also tried the Sangria which has been voted "Best in Tampa" and the reputation was well deserved. It was the most authentic sangria I have had next to Columbia Restaurant located in Celebration, Florida. Fruity and rich with the Spanish wine not overpowering the brandy. If wine isn't your forte, they also have an extensive beer and liquor selection for your cocktail indulgence. Each of the more than 100 tapas dishes has its own character. The menu has something for everyone including a huge list of vegetables dishes. For starters, I tried the Portobello Relleno. The sheer size of the juicy mushroom cap was overwhelming as was the stuffing of spinach and manchego cheese abed twin sauces, a creamy and velvety peanut bchamel complimented by a savory, thinner red gravy sauce. The beauty of Ceviche is you do not order your entire meal at once. It is a tradition in Spain that dining is a slow tango to the finish. The orders come out so quickly, you can relax and take your time to treasure every dish and order more when you are ready. If you have a large party however, I did notice that the restaurant could use some more staff as they seemed stretched too thin. My party consisted of over ten people and we had one person attending to our ferocious appetites. After the delectable Portobello, I choose to be adventurous and try their signature, traditional Ceviche which was by far, one of the best starters on the menu! It is served in an elegant martini glass and is bursting with heaps of white fish, tuna, shrimp and octopus in the lemon-lime marinade with red onions for a zesty crunch. The dish was light and filling enough for two even though I cleaned my cocktail glass thoroughly with no piece of fish left un-devoured. My main tapas selection was a prime fillet decked with a wine sherry mushroom sauce that I should have ordered on the side. The meat was cooked perfectly but the flavor was deluged by this rich sauce. I recommend this dish with the sauce on the side for dipping au jus style. My party and I polished off our meal with some espresso and a sugary piece of caramelized flan drizzled with dark chocolate. The flan was creamy with a milky taste similar to tres leche and the trickles of dark chocolate were seductive. Ceviche lived up to its name and this epicurean plans on going back to try more of their delicious fare. I eagerly await my next visit to this worldly restaurant that seems upscale, tastes upscale but won't break your bank.

Great restaurant with great food, decor, and service. I had a wonderful time at this place and overall an excellent experience. This is a busy location downtown.

Trying this the first time as it has just recently arrived to Orlando and is in-fact superior even to the original in Tampa. This seems like it could be the best tapas for thousands of miles (as good as it gets for tapas in the USA.) More to come as we try our favorites and new dishes again, and again.

Good ambience with tasteful decor, awesome food with interesting twists, good service, what else can one ask for? I stayed in Grand Bohemian, so Ceviche was close. Been there twice, second day the service wasn't good. But the first day the guy who attended us (Nerio) was really good, in explaining the food and providing fast service.

Went here for the fist time this weekend and it was horrible. The service was slow and the food was even worse. The chicken honestly looked and tasted like what's in my dog's food. The server said "it's chunks, not chicken breast". Fast food chicken is better quality. The hummus was gross and they give you about 4 carrot sticks and 3 chips to dip in it. The sangria is alright. I would not go back. Sooooooo gross.

The Place looks really nice on the inside. Food looks very presentable, tasted good, but is WAY over price for the tiny little portions that they give you. Drinks are very expensive and they dont have very many domestics beers to choose from. If your looking to do some Magic game pregaming(which is what brought us there) or even just trying to get a REAL meal in you before hitting up the club, I suggest you go next door to Mojo's because that place seems to be fairly more reasonable with drinks and food is way more hearty portioned. Mojo's also has outdoor seating but Ceviche does not! And one more thing that I thought was very tacky and bothered me a little bit about our experience was that one of our items that we order(because the portions are so small you have to order like 6 different things for just two people) was homade potato chips with blue cheese. Ok so im thinking that these chips are gonna come to us maybe smothered with blue cheese dressing, or just a little side of it, which sounded really good. Well, suprisingly they bring us this little basket of chips with a side of cold blue cheese CRUMBLES...WTF!? they could have atleast put a little more effort into this thing and maybe melted the cheese over the chips or something. Very tacky!

Oh Ceviche! I am a former employee of their Sarasota branch. This gem of a restaurant still doesn't get old for me. They have over 100 items on the menu that go beyond anything else you will find in Orlando. Vegetarian options are limited but some of your best bets include: The Patatas Bravas - bite sized potato bits covered in spicy aioli. The spinach is sautÃ©ed with honey and figs - another amazing treat! For the carnivores - DO NOT miss the albondigas - homemade meatballs that will make any vegetarian want to cheat.. just a little. They serve mainly tapas portions. Don't let them fool you though. Most portions are large and the servers tend to oversell. One or two dishes per person is more than enough. Remember to share. Did you read that? SHARE. This quality is often forgotten but I hear it is making a comeback. Even if you are stuffed to the brim, do try dessert. These portions are much larger. Most of the time you can get away with ordering one for the table. The Almendrado is an delightful almond puffed pastry served with coconut icecream. DO NOT MISS THIS. It is life changing.

A guaranteed great night out! I have been to Spain and eaten a lifetime's worth of tapas and Ceviche holds its own. On top of the quality tapas, the building (a deconsecrated church brought over from Louisiana) is gorgeous and the Thursday-Saturday night flamenco shows are some of the best entertainment in Orlando. The garlic shrimp (gambas al ajillo) are tasty, the papas bravas have a great kick and the tabla mixta (tray of fruit and cheese) is a great appetizer. The sangria is s-t-r-o-n-g! Ceviche is always a good bet for a great place to bring out-of-town guests, especially since that end of Church Street is booming.

I tried to plan some interesting meals during my visit to Orlando for a business trip. The last thing I wanted to do was eat at TGI Fridays or Joe's Crab Shack (located next to the hotel) the entire trip. After reading numerous reviews on the web, I decided to try out Ceviche one night. My travel companion and I drove to Ceviche on a Tuesday evening, there was quite a bit of construction around the area, and some of the roads were blocked due to a private party somewhere, but we managed to find pay parking just down the block from the restaurant. I was starting to wonder if I had made a good choice because we were right next to the interstate, literally parking beneath it and my first thoughts (after wondering if we were safe) were that this was going to be a disappointing meal. Once inside the restaurant, I immediately felt different. The ambiance of the building was other-worldly, or maybe just like being in Spain. The dark wood, the red paint, the huge paintings of matadors and dancers and the music really set the place off. The restaurant was very large and it was practically empty. We were seated in an area to the right of the bar and had the entire section to ourselves. Our waiter was very attentive and excited to explain how to order tapas. We ordered 7 dishes, some cold, some warm. They came out very quickly and they were all just fabulous. The serving sizes were just right, not overly large and we ate everything and left full, but not stuffed. When the bill came, I was quite surprised, I was expecting to be paying around 60USD for that meal, but the bill was under 40USD. The only negative thing about my experience here was sharing it with my travel companion, who didn't seem to "get it" and was almost on the rude side to the waiter. I wish I could pick this restaurant up and move it to Denver, then I'd go all the time. I can't believe this place isn't just packed, even during the week.

Woohoo, finally a place for Latin dancing and to grab a bite downtown. We were in need of a little culture down here. Ceviche is a newish place that everyone has already tried to due to the word of mouth praises it recieves. Its a tapas restaurant, tapas being appetizers meant to share. I hadn't known this fun fact before now. I was here on a random Thursday night for a date and let me tell you it was quite a romantic atmosphere. The restaurant was gorgeous and festive, really invoking thoughts of Spain. Lighting, intricate wood, and ornate wall hangings were but a few of their attentions to detail. We started out with a bottle of wine that our server was happy to assist us in choosing. After much discussion we settled on a light white, Osborne, "Solaz", that turned out to be perfect. My stomach was growling though, so I was pleasantly surprised with the extensive menu it would take months to get through. Over 100 different tapas both hot and cold. Wowza. I looked toward my dinner companion who had dined here before for advice. The Patas Bravas ended up being my favorite choice. It was simple enough, fried potatoes, but the sauce that accompanied it was delish. We also got a lamb dish that was good, though I am not much of a lamb eater as well as a tasty beef dish. To be honest there is so much to chose from it can make your head spin. Ceviche is just one of those places where you'll have to go a handful of times before really getting a feel for the food. Though I doubt you'll mind. I thought I would have trouble grasping their tapas concept. I'm more of a conventional eater- I'll order what I want and you order what you want, not a big sharer. But with so many interesting options it made it easy to jump right into this new way of dining. Ceviche isn't cheap, but with this ambiance and menu what do you expect. Plus, as I mentioned they have a separate room consisting of a large dance floor where flamenco and salsa dancers come to mix it up Friday and Saturday nights, something downtown was lacking. Ceviche is a place to grab dinner, drinks, and get some dancing in while exploring another culture. What an experience.

This place just kicks butt. Be sure to go when they have Flamenco music and dancing. I think it is Thu-Sat nights around 9pm. It really helps to pack the place which adds to the fun. The Tapas are excellent. I love the Patatas Bravas. They are yummy and pretty cheap. Also the cheapest bottle of wine is about $19 and tasty too! My wife and I love this place. Again, be sure to go when it is hopping! It is a very large place, and can feel pretty lonely if there aren't alot of people there. Oh, and eat at the bar for the true Spanish Tapa experience! Enjoy.
