Cepas Wine and Tapas Bar

I would say it was eclectic Spanish cuisine with fantastic wine pairings selection. Is unbelievable and people are so knowledgeable and the food is outstanding, the food I would say that it is an interesting cross-section of all the best types of Spanish cuisine.

if you're in the mood for tapas, Cepas is a fantastic choice! The tiger's milk ceviche is an absolute must-try--so fresh and flavorful. Other favorites include the meatballs, octopus, and empanadas, each perfectly cooked and packed with flavor.The happy hour options are great if you want to try a bit of everything, and if you've got room for dessert, don't miss the passion fruit cheesecake--it's divine! The wine selection is good, easy to find the perfect pairing for your meal. Whether you're out for a casual evening or a special night, Cepas never disappoints!

Cepas Wine and Tapas Bar is a restaurant/wine bar located in the Carrollwood area. It is a small restaurant with limited indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant does not take reservations, so expect a wait on the weekends. Things I like: The food is served tapas style and everything we tried was delicious! I particularly loved the Baked Empanadas, Jamon Serrano Flatbread, and the Tortilla de Patatas. The food tasted fresh and was prepared well. Things I didn't like: It was difficult to obtain seating on a Friday night. I'd suggest visiting early in the night or on a weeknight. Overall, a great spot in the Carrollwood area. Highly recommended!

What a hidden gem this is!! I literally come to this plaza all the time with my daughter when we go to the gym and had no idea this place was there. Came with some out of town friends that chose this place. The reviews were good so I was intrigued. Glad we came because we fell in love with no one the food but the service as well.Indoor and outdoor seating available. Indoor is tight given it's a small place. But don't let that fool you because the food is very good. We got a sampling of various tapas, the Rioja Sampler, paella negra and dessert. The rioja sampler allowed us to try various cheese and ham selections which we enjoyed all that was on the board. The white sangria was tasty, had a cinnamon taste which was different. I think the paella was my favorite. The dish bursted with flavor! A must try! Service was amazing. I can't remember the waiters name, started with a "B" I think but he was amazing!! Very engaging with the table and his recommendations were spot on. We will definitely be repeat customers to this gem :)

The food is always amazing here. I ordered the Paella Marina and it was perfect. The seafood was fresh and juicy (not overcooked) and the rice was firm and flavorful with visible threads of saffron. I had the crème brûlée cheesecake and it was just the right amount of sweet!

Lovely experience at dinner time on a Friday night. It was packed both the inside and the outdoor patio. Friendly service. We did end up getting an extra dish by mistake so that was great. We had the manchego cheese and Serrano ham and the Toro Bravo. Both were very tasty. We had a nice bottle of Spanish wine. They have an extensive wine list with over 400 bottles to choose from. Beautiful night to sit on their outdoor patio. Will definitely be returning here to try other dishes. Parking lot was full but they have parking in the back of the restaurant as well.

This is a little hidden gem in the area, it's a small but cozy bar that I just fell in love with, you feel like you are in a small bar in Gran Via, it really took me there! I loved that! At the beginning, we wanted to go next door but then we saw the lights and a lot of people, we were so curious because it's a small place and it was packed, so we were like ok let's try it out. We walked in and we got sat pretty quickly! We had to wait a little bit to get service, that's why Im giving them 4 stars, but in their defense it was very busy and they looked like they were a little short staffed, so we understand! When they finally came, Borna was so nice, he apologized plenty of times for making us wait! And honestly he treated us so well, even though they were packed. We got some Estrella Galicia, it was nice and cold. Then, we started with some boquerones and a shrimp and avocado ceviche, which was actually one of my favorite things, so well seasoned and good. My boyfriend and I love to go places and do tapas, so that's what we did, so after the first two, we got a Charcuterie board and the octopus, and here me out of the best charcuterie boards in town, everything felt so fresh and great quality. Borna, also recommended the croquetas with Serrano ham and cheese and the mini caprese, they were sooo good too. We are definitely coming back for sure! Great place for tapas and some wine or beer.

Fuimos aquí para unos tragos de celebración, el ambiente es pequeño y no hay mucha privacidad, nos tocó al lado de una mesa en la que tenían mucho ruido y mi esposo y yo ni nos escuchamos. La comida estaba buena, la tortilla de patatas deli y las croquetas también. El servicio fue agradable y la comida llegó rápido.

Yes, times 10. Not for the faint of pocket. But you get what you pay for. My pallet was overwhelmed with the different flavors.
