First visit, and we’ll definitely be back. Everything was absolutely delicious. I had the French onion soup and it was among the best I’ve had. The duck gnocchi was very good, but my husband’s steak stole the show. Even the broccolini that was served with it was deliciously seasoned. Next time we go back I’ll probably get the steak, and switch the fries for risotto. Crème brûlée was a fantastic end. We walked away full and happy! Service was top notch.

Our first time out to Seviche was a home run! From the cocktails and the spot-on assortment of wines-by-the-glass, the calamari and tuna tartare, to the fish main courses and creative desserts - everything was perfectly prepared and presented. We are a picky bunch when it comes to dining out, as we cook at home at a high level. Seviche delivered on all accounts. It was pricy for the 4 of us but worth it.

I had a business group of 10 and everyone seemed to enjoy the experience. I had the mahi mahi again and it was as delicious as as I remembered. The desserts were delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommend.
