This place located in the crowed restaurant row. Our goal this time was to find a reasonably priced Italian meal.  Meson Sevilla fit the bill perfectly. The service was good and the food was excellent.  For appetizers we go the baked portabella mushrooms covered in melted cheese with little bit olive oil and mozzarella cheese salad. The mozzarella tasted like it was home made. The big portion of baked ziti had nice meat souse and tortellini had very creamy cheese souse. Just the way I like it. For dessert we had vanilla ice cream and Tiramisu. The later was done to perfection: a light composition of sponge cake dipped in a coffee-MARSALA mixture, then layered with MASCARPONE cream cheese and grated chocolate. Very decadent.  If you want to dine in here come early or reserve a table, because it fills up quickly. We left around 6:30 and the place was packed.   The direr for two: Baked portabella $3.95 Mozzarella Salad $4.95 Baked ziti $9.95 Tortellini $9.95 House wine for two: $9.00 Tiramisu $5.00 Ice Cream $4.00 by LBA

Another place located in the crowed restaurant row. This time our goal was to find some fine dinning in. The $ was not a big issue, but the service and quality was.  Food: Everything a la cart. The portions were OK, little bit on the small side.  The quality was good, but nothing special. Everything had a feel of a chain steak house in the shopping mall. We expected a lot more from location and the price. Service: Three waiters hovered over you, but you still had to ask for everything. They brought the bread, but I had to ask for olive oil. The pepper was only on the table where staff was eating. Wine: They only had water glasses for everything. Overall: If you are starving before or after the show and want to eat quickly, you always find a table even at 9:00 on Friday. The best part was their website and location.   The direr for two: Baked potato $4. Small Stake $24. Baked file of Sole $23. House wine $6.75 12 oz bottle of beer $6.75 by LBA
