Fodor's Review:

Overlooking one of Seville's prettiest small plazas in the Barrio de Santa Cruz, this wonderful old manor house was built by the celebrated architect Juan Talavera for his own family; inside, four dining rooms are decorated with tiles, oil paintings, and plants. There's a Basque twist to many dishes—consider the lubina al horno con berenjenas y yogur al cardamomo (baked sea bass with eggplant in a yogurt-and-cardamom sauce) or foie de oca salteado (lightly sautéed goose liver) followed by the delicious fig mousse. There's an excellent EUR 27 daily menu.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

Reviewed by mecweb from Antwerp, Belgium on 6/11/08
We just returned from an amazing weekend in Seville. We travel a lot and enjoy eating out all around the world. After some amazing tapas our first evenings, we decided to go out to a nice sit down dinner. We had read about this restaurant, and we walked by and found the locations to be lovely. We made a reservation for the next night.

The food was mediocre at best. The sauces were not freshly made by a top cook ... definitely from a jar. The service was appalling at best. The waiters seemed more interested in serving wine to a friend who stopped by then on giving the wine card to their paying guests. They also spoke fluent English when it was a question of convincing a customer to order the most expensive Rioja on the menu. When it came to our comments about what a disappointment the evening was after we paid our bill in full, they suddenly did not speak a word.

Save your money and enjoy one of the other amazing places in Seville!
