Great food, served as “tapas”. Nice roof top right on Giralda Av.

We went on Valentine’s so it was busy. My husband loved his pork yuca and moros. I decided to have octopus that was an appetizer ans truffle mashed and both weren’t good. We’ve eaten here before and I’ve had the grouper but wasn’t as hungry and decided to change it up. Big mistake. The bread pudding had great flavor but over cooked. The service was awful because it was a full house waited over 10 min just to be served water at the table. We got our drinks after we finished our appetizer. I was honestly a bit disappointed. I’ve recommended to friends on the past not sure if I will again.

The food was excellent, offering a variety of delicious flavors. Our waiter, Alex, was incredibly professional, attentive, and friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant and not too noisy, allowing for a great dining experience. The highlight of the night was the beautiful dancers performing around the tables, which made the evening even more entertaining. Highly recommended!

Doya – A Must-Try for Greek & Turkish-Inspired Meze Recently dined at Doya, a fantastic spot that blends Greek and Turkish flavors with a menu designed for sharing. The restaurant specializes in both cold and hot meze, making it perfect for a communal dining experience. For cold meze, I highly recommend the traditional fava bean spread, eggplant (babaganoush), green goddess dip (similar to tzatziki), and shrimp carpaccio—all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Among the hot meze, we tried the rib steak over the wood-fired grill, which, while cooked well, needed a bit more seasoning. However, the grilled Dorado fish was outstanding—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We rarely order dessert, but the chocolate mousse with cherries was a standout and an absolute must-try. Service at Doya is team-oriented, delightful, and impressively quick. The food comes out fast, making for a seamless dining experience without feeling rushed. Overall, Doya delivers a wonderful dining experience, with a well-executed menu, great service, and a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore high-quality Mediterranean flavors in a shareable format.

We had a delicious dinner at Eva's. The risotto was outstanding. The mixture of the shrimp, corn, sausage with the orzo was very tasty. The oysters were fresh. The server was very attentive and offered great suggestions.
