Gambia's/shrimp
Dan B.

We were sad to see the old vegan restaurant go, but this has been a huge upgrade from a food standpoint. Totally opposite kind of food, but delicious! The chef is serious about his food. Real life, Spanish tapas here!! We started with the appetizer plate of cheese and meat, which were top quality. We moved on to the gumba/shrimp and broccolini, as well as the carpaccio. Everything was top grade. Service was really good and not rush They didn't do much to the interior, and they didn't have to. They did put up one big mural of a Spanish scene. It's actually very lovely My only complaint is the noise level. I hope they do something about it. It was quite difficult to hear in there, even though the crowd thinned out as the night wore on. Acoustical panels would help! Highly recommend for the food, and happy to see a vibrant scene in here full of people.

Phenomenal from start to finish! A 3 hour meal. Each succulent moment was divine. The Tapas plates (shared) brought flavors and visual happiness! We ended with Paella Ibiza = our way! We added grilled octopus. Perfect!. Our server was a delight. He knew each wine, each tapas, the entire menu! Our dessert, burnt cheesecake with guava sauce, well let's just say I am still dreaming about it. We topped the night off with Don Zoilo Sherry - compliments of the fabulous chef and owner Elier. We will be back! So much more to try! And the prices are reasonable! Love!

We had a great dinner at Alma de Espana. Started off with the octopus, which was perfectly prepared. Then had the classic paella.

The Cottage - Lobster Maki Sushi

After a relaxing day at Siesta Key beach, we stopped at The Cottage for lunch. I cannot say enough…read moregreat things about this restaurant. It's got a relaxing beach vibe with outside seating and a nice patio in the back with enough shade. I could tell that they host nightly entertainment here with a small stage. For lunch, I ordered the lobster maki roll. I'm not a big sushi fan, but I was intrigued. This lobster roll was one of the best sushi rolls I've had in a long time. Also ordered include the blackened grouper sandwich, billionaire burger, and tempura shrimp appetizer. Our group loved every entree. The cocktails were also refreshing. I really loved my jalapeño watermelon margarita. Our server was wonderful - very friendly and quick service. Definitely an enjoyable lunch or dinner spot!

We booked this place via OpenTable since it received great reviews. We ended up parking next door…read moresince parking was a bit hard to navigate. The parking place had ample parking where you needed a mobile app to pay for your parking. There was a larger souvenir store there if you needed to kill time before your seating. Once it was our time for our dinner reservations, we were greeted and seated at our table. Our waitress was a bit sarcastic or had a witty comments that didn't sit well with my kids. When ordering our foods, the kids asked what type of drinks they had since it was not listed on the menu. She said Coke but didn't elaborate that they had Coke products. Since she said Coke so fast our daughter didn't hear the response and asked her the question again where she just said that's a great question and ignored her and moved on. Food wise - we had the Peruvian ceviche, Peruvian chicken, I think I had a special grouper dish. The food was good. We were able to eat everything and the kids enjoyed their kids burger meals. Outside of the waitress comments, the place placed nice modern music to listen to and had the basketballs games playing on the tv at the bar.

This was our first visit to Bohemios Tapas Bar, and we picked a good day to stop by. The first…read moreweekend (Fri & Sat) of each month they have Seafood Paella, and that was what we ordered. While Bohemios is tapas, they also offer some full plate dishes such as the Paella and our other dish, Bohemios Churrasco. We definitely liked the food. The Paella had a mild familiar flavor. It could have used more seafood but for the price, I was more than satisfied. The Churrasco steak was cooked perfectly for me and their zesty chimichurri sauce made it excellent. I didn't try the side of Gallo Pinto, I don't really like most beans, but my wife seemed to enjoy it. The fried sweet plantains were delicious. Another thing I did enjoy was their Mediterranean Bruschetta, three pieces stacked high, what a great start to the meal. Bohemios is a smallish place with about 8 tables and maybe a dozen bar seats inside, a few more tables outside. Reservations are recommended. Our server was a fun, outgoing, memorable guy and we loved all our interactions. The pace of the meal was good, about 10 minutes for the Bruschetta, another 10 after we finished for the main course. We picked a bad day for only one reason, the guitar player was out with an injury.

Four of us tried Bohemios for the first time and everyone agreed we would go back! We started with…read morefour tapa, one with white anchovies, one with grilled octopus, and continued trying 8 tapa all together! We loved all of them and asked for more bread to clean the plates of their delicious sauces. We enjoyed Barra of Mendocino Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon which complemented all the flavors. The owner is very welcoming and very proud of his fare! And rightly so! We enjoyed learning about his roots which have influenced his cooking. Hope his restaurant thrives!! Thank you, Martin, for a lovely evening!

This is a great lunch spot. I highly recommend sharing plates so you can enjoy more than one dish…read more My favorites have been the Brussel sprouts, sweet potato focaccia spread, and the eggplant rainbow bowl. Today, we enjoyed the eggplant rainbow bowl and Cesaer salad (came with crispy chicken). Both were delish as always. I was pleasantly surprised by the quick service. Within a few minutes of ordering, we had our dishes on the table. I love the decor. It's different vibe from the other restaurants in UTC. Small tables so perfect for small groups (2-4). If you like Mediterranean food, try it with a friend or two!

My husband and I came here for lunch on a Thursday a little after 12pm. There was no wait and we…read morewere quickly sat on the outdoor patio. Weather this time of year is great as it's not too hot. They have a covered patio for dining and an uncovered area near the bar for more lounging. Our server was fantastic and very friendly. We started with cocktails and an appetizer of the spicy crispy chicken wings. The wings were perfectly crispy and had a great spice to them. We both ordered rainbow bowls, I had the beef and my husband had the shrimp. Highly recommend to come hungry. The portions of the bowls were huge and had so much flavor. We can't wait to visit again and try other options on their menu as I'm sure they taste just as amazing.
