Outside the Ballroom: Ceviche Tapas Bar & Restaurant

They’ve got unique event space, great food, and awesome live entertainment. Featuring tiled columns, exposed wood beams, and deeply rich colors they’ve created an authentic Spanish feel right in downtown Orlando.

You can find their menu (and pricing) on their website.

Ceviche serves up tapas to the downtown Orlando area. Now I had never heard of “tapas” before doing some research so I think it’s only fair that I fill you in. Basically a tapas is an appetizer… you order a few of these and put them all together to make a meal. How cool is that!? Now some of the tapas they offer are definitely not my kind of food (fried squid) but Ceviche offers over 100 to choose from. I have never seen a venue quite like this one before.

The bar area can accommodate up to 300 people!

This private dining room (above) is stunning! Those two walls on the left have candles that they light (Yes, it requires a ladder!). The stained glass skylights add tons of character and charm to this intimate dining room. Ceviche features a total of 5 private dining rooms with 3 out of the 5 holding up to 75 guests and the fourth holding 60. Their banquet hall can seat up to 220. Both the private dining rooms and the banquet hall are a fantastic place to have your reception if you want something intimate and unique.
