Great atmosphere paired with great sangria

by sassy27

I made a reservation for 2 which I had to change to 6. They were very accommodating and polite. The waiter was very attentive and answered all our food questions. We ordered the mix tapas plate as our appetizer and were able to try different things. The main courses were varied and tasty (chicken, beef, fish, vegetables). The sangria was smooth and fruity. I loved the decor and overall it was a very nice experience. Definitely reccomend it.

• Pros: food, location, price, service, decor
• Cons: none I can think of

A Letdown for New Years Eve

by vampbetty

This restaurant was recommended by a friend who lives in the area. He and his girlfriend had gone there and said it was cool, loungey and the food was good. He reserved us a table for New Years Eve after speaking to the manager about their dinner special. He was told there was a prix fixe menu, 3 courses for $55 plus a champagne toast. There were 7 of us in our party and we ordered a few pitchers of sangria throughout the meal. The waitress spilled on 3 of us while pouring the sangria into our glasses -- one guy had his white shirt ruined with a red wine stain (and they didn't offer to pay for his dry cleaning). The food was decent (not spectacular, but tasty) until dessert, which was a complete letdown. The brownie in my "warm chocolate brownie sundae" tasted stale and microwaved; not one person in our party enjoyed their dessert. To top it off, there was some controversy over our bill at the end of the meal and we are pretty certain we were overcharged, but at that point we were all rushing to get to a New Years party before midnight so we just paid it and left. The one redeeming part of the night was that they had a live bellydancer, which was pretty cool. If you want to try this place, go for it, but I would go on a normal Friday/Saturday night and NOT for an occasion like New Years. Even the guy and his girlfriend who had initially recommended the place said it was really disappointing that night and they wouldn't go back again.

• Pros: Live bellydancing
• Cons: Poor service, awful dessert, definitely not worth the money

Great service and excellent food

by andyhagman

We are a company from Sweden who visited NY for a few days in October, and had a dinner at Casaville. The service was great and as soon as the drink was near to end, they asked for a new order. 11 of us had the Tapas and we were happy, but the Paella as 2 of my colleagues had, was even better. One of us had the bass and he was euforic. They also know how to make a pretty good Sangria.

Our waiter was really competent and answered all our questions in a proffessional way.

• Pros: Service, Sangria, Tasty
• Cons: -
