Vizcaya SoHo

SERVICE: really great. Servers were always on top of things. I went in there looking kind of raggedy and was still treated great. They didn't treat me any different, so took care of them after the bill. FOOD: The stuffed dates wrapped in bacon were amazing! Was going to try something I was familiar with, but decide to try that and I'm glad I did. We had the oxtails and they were also delicious. The risotto was pretty good, not the best, but oxtails more. Than made up for it. Seafood paella was really good. They don't beat Columbia's, but it was still very tasty. The sea food was not over cooked and the texture was really nice. Sangria was very good. Not too sweet and not too dry and the used really fruit. Loved it. PRICE: Very reasonable. Bill was between $120-$130 for everything before tip. Downside: men's bathroom is on the outside of the building. So if it's raining or cold, might want to use ladies. I loved it and will definitely be returning.

Lovely place Great food, service and ambiance, chef owner is very personal and friendly comes to the table and makes suggestions of the dishes. Paella tapas beer and dessert were excellent Glad we found this restaurant!

Small and quaint location. It is in an old corner gas station. Inside is comfy and cozy. Food was absolutely delicious. We ordered several appetizers for the entire table and made them our meal. Stuffed dates, empanadas, croquettas, shrimp, goat cheese salad and paella. We were stuffed and had to bring home the leftovers. For a table of 4 I was disappointed in my 3 guests as they tagged out a little early. Service was great. Oh, you have to order sangria as well. I also recommend that you make a reservation to ensure you are seated but it is not totally necessary.

This place is a hidden gem amongst a bunch of bars in the SoHo area just north of Hydel park. Our amazing server, Julie took great care of us and we decided to tackle the appetizer menu. We were seated promptly at a high top table for two inside the restaurant and truly enjoyed all of the cute decor. Great music and amazing food left us completely satisfied. Our favorite dish was the escargot and we will definitely be back for more.

This was my second time at Vizcaya SoHo and it will not be the last! My husband and I went for Valentine's Day and they did have a special menu, but all of our favorite things were still available. It is such a cute little mom and pop spot with service that makes you feel like you're family. The waitresses were attentive our entire meal, we never needed for anything. We started our meal off with 2 sangrias, they have red, white, and bubbly as options. We opted for the red and bubbly and both were very balanced, versus being on the sweeter side. For starters, they bring fresh bread with butter for the table and it is so good!!! Fluffy on the inside with crispy crust. I'm not sure if it is, but it tastes like they make it fresh! We also got the dates as a starter and they are perfect for anyone who likes a mix of sweet and salty. Because it was a little chilly outside, I also decided to try the SheCrab bisque. It was full of flavor and perfect for dipping the bread in! For entree, we split the seafood paella. It is a must try for seafood lovers and it is a really good portion!! I personally like it better than the seafood paella at Bulla. Finally, we ended our meal with the cheesecake. I got it the first time I came here and it's so good I had to get it again!!! The combination of fresh cream along with the fruit sauce makes it absolutely delicious. I want to try another dessert but I can't see myself coming back end not ordering that cheesecake! Overall, this is definitely a place to try for Spanish food lovers!!!

Omg I haven't had delicious croquettes like this since Spain. These are absolutely to die for. And make sure you get the dates stuffed with manchego cheese wrapped in bacon you will love them. I will be going back the food is outstanding

Admittedly, I completely underestimated Vizcaya...it's a restaurant in an old converted gas station in the heart of SOHO so how good can it??? Simply put, the food @ Vizcaya is delicious!!! It's absolutely the best Spanish tapas in Tampa Bay and it rivals well known Spanish restaurants in other parts of the US like Barcelona. I actually give the nod to Vizcaya because in many ways its more delicious and locally owned.We tried an array of dishes including one of the salad, gambas, paella, oxtail, etc. Literally, everything was absolutely fantastic. The paella is the best Tampa. They also have a great wine list. The service was great and the owner seems like a really nice guy. The interior was nicely designed and very comfortable. They could also accommodate larger parties despite how small the restaurant appears from the outside.I had a lot of assumptions that were completely off base and almost caused me to miss out on one of best Tampa's hidden gems. Definitely check it out asap!!!

This was a business dinner, great appetizers from cheeses to stuffed dates to more yummy things. Someone told me to get the oxtails and I hit the jackpot. The meat was falling off the bones, the taste was out of this world !!! Then came dessert and we shared I think one of each and I have no favorite. They were equally delectable. Make reservation and go try it. You will thank me.

We had a lovely post valentines dinner at Vizcaya. Food, wine and service were excellent. The place is lovely with a great atmosphere. If you are looking for an authentic Spanish restaurant this place is a must.

One of my favorite restaurants in Tampa. I've been going here for years and have never had a bad meal. whether you choose tapas or a meal, you will not be disappointed!
