Anthony -
Thanks for giving me a reason to try something OTHER than the 3-seviche sampler every time I come in! We'll definitely take a few Sundays off from the kitchen and come enjoy your fantastic food!

I'll be managing on Sundays at Goose Creek for the forseeable future so please introduce yourselves when you come in.
It's always nice to have a real face to put to the names on the forum.
See you all starting March 9th.

Thank you all! After recieving several calls and e-mails, I've decided to open at 4pm instead of 5pm. We will open this Sunday the 9th. I will offer our full menu aswell as the specials. Once I get both restaurants going and the patio finished, I'm thinking about doing a Puerto Rican style pig roast too. This will include some fun sides like mofongo, a Puerto Rican dish of mashed plantains with onion and smoked bacon, that can be topped with some of the suckling pig, or skirt steak, shrimp, lobster, etc. Also, asapao a rice dish with sofrito, and many different proteins. Once again, thank you all very much for your continued support. I just got done roasting my suckling pig, so I can run this week starting tomorrow, to see how it goes over. It will be at the Goose Creek location. The pork bellies came out incredible! I will offer some free samples, so just ask your server.

Buen provecho y muchas gracias!

Well, I don't do pigs but we just couldn't stand it anymore and went for dinner last night. Nobody does mussels like Seviche! DogGONE they made my nose run but they were awesome. That broth is something you dream about. I was craving that chimi and DH had the ahi of the day. Has Mr Lamas ever shared his mussels recipe? Pretty please? We had great service as well...

Had dinner at Goose Creek Sat. night. My wife is stuck on the skirt steak....not a bad thing to be stuck on I suppose. I had the filet....they served it with the sides for the special...ie. grits. I'm a sucker for grits anytime anywhere....they were good. Cadillac 'ritas were perfect. All in all the best meal we've had at Seviche. Keep 'em coming.

:D

John and I had dinner at Seviche in the Highlands early yesterday evening, and it was perfect from beginning to end, as usual. We did not run into Anthony, but were well taken care of regardless (I believe his sous-chef Eric was manning the controls in the kitchen).

I called about a half an hour in advance and made a reservation with Madi D. and there was no wait after we walked down there - got a great table in the window, too. Michael was our server and provided gold-standard service. We started with a Caipirinha (me) and an Ommegang Witte (him). We had already made up our mind to order the beef seviche appetizer again (especially since seviches are half-price on Sundays, excluding specials). Last time we asked for and received a mixed plate of empanadas, but this time we just went ahead and ordered the wild mush/goat cheese ones, since they were our absolute favorite.

But before either of the apps got there, Michael appeared (saying "somebody in the kitchen loves you!") from behind the kitchen door with a little bocadito for each of us - a perfectly grilled shrimp over a salsify puree. Great little bite. I dunno if they particularly love me or just sent it out because Madi let them know it was my birthday weekend. Either way, I'll take it! And it was very sweet of them to do.

I adore that beef seviche - it's just a simple beef tenderloin, almost completely rare, and served with the freshest pico de gallo you can get, gosh, anywhere. It's a perfect marriage of red and yellow tomatoes (GOOD tomatoes, too - not bland refrigerated hothouse tomatoes), onions, cilantro, chiles and lime juice. We ate every morsel, each tiny tomato cube. Empanadas were eye-rollingly good, just as before.

I ordered the Churrascos (skirt steak with chimichurri and mashed potatoes). I cannot seem to order anything else besides the Churrascos. I've tried, but just as my brain is saying "tilapia" or whatever, my mouth is saying "Churrascos". My mouth apparently has a mind of its own. John had Filete al Poblano, blood rare (black angus tenderloin with Pt. Reyes Bleu Cheese and roasted poblano demi-glace). Both entrees were perfectly cooked and beautifully plated. While we were waiting, I spied a seared duck breast special at the next table that looked incredible, and was a bit wistful that I hadn't ordered that, but... the mouth-mind had spoken, and it wanted Churrascos.

I abandoned the Caipirinha and asked Michael to ask the bartender to make me something with pomegranate juice and red grapefruit juice, "just ask him to surprise me" (a favorite hobby of mine wherever there's a well-stocked bar and a good bartender). The bartender, Chris, sent back a gorgeous pink drink in an up-glass, garnished with an orange wedge. One sip was enough to send me over to the bar to ask him what was in it. He said he'd used red grapefruit and pomegranate juices, Absolut Ruby Red....and sloe gin! It was the girly pink birthday drink of the year! I said "Chris, what are we gonna call this?" and he said we should think about it, but by the time I got back to the table, John had already dubbed it the "Pink Grenade", which was perfect. So, cool - a new drink is born!

Love, love, love Seviche. Madi, Anthony, Eric, Michael, Chris and everyone else at the Highlands store, thanks again for another perfect meal. Under $100, too, including alcohol- thanks to the special Sunday pricing!

Thanks for the recent review, Marsha!! Seviche is my ABSOLUTE favorite restaurant, and thankfully my kids love it, too! We have reservations for this coming Sunday to celebrate my daughter's fifth birthday... her choice. My kids also love the churrascos, and my oldest daughter is a certified chimichurri-aholic!! We had such a memorable birthday dinner there with my oldest daughter last year that the little one wants to go in lieu of a party this year. Anthony always makes us feel like family... a genuine hospitality which can't be fabricated!! I'm really anticipating another great meal now!!! :D

Marsha, we were dining at the same time and I missed you! I'm sure I would have recognized you had I seen you. We too had an amazing meal last night, from our first-round mojitos to the cheese plate that rounded out the evening. The seafood stew was insanely good - I think we were about to ask for straws to sip up the broth. We must have gone through an entire baguette and kept asking them to leave the dish whenever the busser tried to remove it. Great restaurant, great value for what you get (especially on Sundays).

Well, another FABULOUS evening at Seviche! It almost seems silly, even to me, to write another "Seviche love letter" (as my husband calls them)... but, honestly, I don't think there is a more gracious and talented chef in Louisville than Anthony Lamas!!

So I'll keep it short and sweet! My youngest daughter chose to celebrate her fifth birthday at Seviche and declared "I LOVE HIM!!!", referring to Chef Anthony, after she polished off her churrascos and began to attack a specially made birthday cake.

I could go on and on raving about the food, but if you've been to Seviche before, you already know how good it is. And if you haven't been yet... get there ASAP because you are certainly in for a culinary treat!

Thanks again for a memorable evening at the city's finest table.

I heard a rumor that the bocaditos menu is gone. Can someone confirm or dispel that for me?

The bocaditos are gone, but we still have half priced wines and half priced seviches on Sundays along with $2 margaritas and $5 Mojitos.

Is this for both locations, and if so, what are the hours for each restaurant on Sunday? Thanks!
Have a Good Day!
