    An amazing experience indeed! Service was fantastic as the waitress provided the history of the restaurant and had suggestions for cocktails, appetizers and the main course. My husband had the 14 inch ribeye and I had the flight which included choice, prime, and wagyu cuts. Sides were crispy loaded baked potato and collard greens. It was the quickest open kitchen I have ever seen. We made sure to tell the manager on duty how much we enjoyed the experience. We will be going back for our Anniversary in May!

    Our 1st experience at Seviche did not disappoint. Ben was our server and he gave us great recommendations. Everything we ordered was outstanding and Ben was very attentive without being overbearing. The tuna ceviche, bison empanadas, snapper and skirt steak were all perfectly prepared and full of flavor. Tres Leches cake with browned butter macadamia nut ice cream was the perfect dessert/birthday treat. (Thank you Ben ! ). We look forward to a return visit.

    The salad, main course, and desert all excellent. I would go back just for the French Toast desert. I had a lobster/pasta main course that was excellent, and the goat cheese salad couldn't be beat. Good service on a very busy Valentine night. Parking is the only problem, so allow a little extra time to find a parking spot on or just off the busy Frankfort Ave., and bring an umbrella if it is raining. Highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions where budget is not a consideration.

    My food was absolutely terrific. I was dining with my spouse and my mother-in-law. I had the filet (it was cooked exactly how I wanted), scallops, asparagus, and butter infused risotto. They gave a rose to my mother-in-law, and it made her night. Honest to God, it was the best food I've eaten this year. I loved it. Thank you for making our Valentines a great experience. We'll be back for sure.

    Get a burger! We enjoyed the 80/20 burger with fries, dark meat chicken with potatoes and biscuit and gravy and a side of onion rings. Our physicians may not approve of that meal but our taste buds and bellies were happy. My husband and I like to order and share so I had a taste of everything. We both thought the burger was the star of the show but enjoyed everything very much. The chicken has a lot of breading and it was seasoned well and super crispy, the biscuit was fluffy and the gravy was well seasoned. The onion rings were well balanced with breeding and a generous portion. The only issue is that I like fries and onion rings fresh from the fryer and I think they came from under a heat lamp. The service was the very best part! As we were still placing our order the onion rings came out to the table, they have an electronic ordering system. There was so much staff working together that everything ran smoothly and quickly. Their Happy Hour can't be beat! We each had two drinks and my cocktail definitely packed a punch at a very reasonable price. We will definitely return to enjoy more of their menu and the Malt Shop attached to the restaurant.
