Sebastian Pintxos - Atlanta

My friends I wanted to try a new restaurant to celebrate a friends birthday here. Big mistake. Ambiance is beautiful, service food is underwhelming. Our server didn’t acknowledge the birthday nor did she go through the menu or explain any of their cocktails. I asked her opinion on the “Guava Paradise” cocktail her response was “well do you like guava?”. Long wait times on cocktails while only 3 other tables were seated. We ordered a ton of tapas nothing was memorable. The shrimp ceviche was so bad, we asked to remove it from the table. Considering the variety of the menu, the fried brussel sprouts shouldn’t have been one of the best things we ate. We constantly had to stack dirty plates to make more room on our table. We were expecting maybe a small dessert for the birthday girl, but the server brought us the check while still having dirty plates on the table. The shrimp ceviche was not removed there was a charge for extra bread from one of our tapas. (A gentleman asked if we wanted more for the ricotta w/ jam plate since it already came with bread, but never mentioned it being additional. We would’ve still said yes if he would’ve mentioned the up charge, it’s the principle. When she dropped the check, she abruptly walked away I had to get up to ask her privately if they do anything for birthdays. She responded “yes, why?”… Lol. I mentioned it was my friends birthday, shortly after the table was cleared for us. One gentleman brought us churros a few minutes after she brought us what looked like a cheesecake, but didn’t explain anything until we asked. There were no plates or silverware to eat until we had to ask again. After dessert, we explained the items on our check instead of apologetically taking care of it or grabbing a manager, she tried to ask who brought us what and who took the ceviche for the table. Like started pointing fingers at the gentleman in the restaurant. The food is overrated overpriced. Cocktails good, but we won’t be back.

Zach the waiter was very attentive and hospitable. Very good Spanish tapas. And drinks. Only complaint was the live band. Not so hype. And dj could have mixed/interluded the music better. (I was there for the nye event) Parking is right next door (valet $20) parking garage across the street. No street parking.

The food was tasty and ambiance was nice, but the server didn't know the menu well, our food was not brought out together, and he forgot to bring the wine we ordered until we reminded him. It was a slow night, so there really wasn't an excuse for it.

Funky place with interesting and generally good tapas. Really liked the white chocolate duck and the Brussel sprouts were excellent. Service was friendly and we never felt rushed, Parking in pay lot next door expensive. Sangria disappointing.. Music was nice for atmosphere but a bit loud at times making it hard to have a conversation. Seems like a nice place to meet for drinks in the summer.

The people were great. Very kind and welcoming. However, the menu didn’t really have that many tapas and they used a aioli-type sauce on everything that had a lot of Dijon in it that didn’t really vibe with the food.
