Ok so this review is coming from someone who is NOT a picky eater in any way, shape or form. I went to Sevilla expecting a great meal and was extremely underwhelmed. I ordered the Paella de Valenciana (with lobster) and the rice tasted like boxed Goya rice. This is definitely a meal you can share with your date. For apps we ordered the shrimp ajillo (garlic sauce) and the shrimp was NOT seasoned AT ALL. We actually poured some of the leftover garlic sauce into our paella and that gave it a little life. Don't bother ordering the croquetas as there's NOTHING tasty about them. The best part of our meal was the sangria! The restaurant provides a nice classic scene for dates, even though the waiters looked like they could have been exact replicas of the waiters that were working there when the restaurant first opened. I'm open to revisiting and trying a different dish and would definitely recommend giving it a shot because they have plenty of other dishes to offer aside from Paella.

I grew up in BKLYN. Went to Sevilla as a child. I am now 34 years old, living in Florida. I honestly believe that eating at this restaurant is/was the best meal that I have ever eaten in a restaurant! I would recommend it to anyone that wants to enjoy some amazing, quality food!

Came here for mothers day... The steak is delish as are all the appetizers, the sangria and the salad dressing that comes with the food. Would really really recommend this place even though it is not cheap.

Very long time ago this and many other Spaniards opened their doors to the public when New Yorkers had no idea of what was cooking in Spain. Some of them still survive, Sevilla, El Faro, Spain, El Charro, etc. and have become institutions of the unreal cuisine of Spain, in those days any eatery worked well, you did not have to be a professional to be successful. If anyone tried to open one of these today it wouldn't survive too long. Now the competition is strong and people know what they want.

Living on Perry Street Sevilla is only a block away from this great restaurant and I started eating there in the early 70s. The food is reliable and delicious. I especially like the shrimp in green sauce, chicken villeroy and their paella. I have never had a bad meal there. It's worth the wait if there's a line and the atmosphere is wonderful.

The shrimp ajillo really IS superb, as is the white sangria. I've never experienced anything but cordial and quick service here. This village joint has been around for years, and its history can sort of be felt, which some people may not like. It's not a pretentious, trendy hangout, like many other places in the neighborhood, and no there's no beer on draft. Just great food, pleasant service and lots of village stories between the walls.

Shrimp ajillo is excellent, as is chorizo... At first service was rushed, then waiter brought wrong dish to one diner and it took over 20 minutes to be corrected -- very lackadaisical about it. Prices are quite high as well.
