I'm wondering if their service has taken a turn for the better since your last visit. Have you been back? I'll probably be posting pics on www.Sacfoodies.com soon, would love it if you stopped by to leave your two cents. Thanks!Brittanyhttp://www.sacfoodies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-39692444137121876902007-07-13T11:46:00.000-07:002007-07-13T11:46:00.000-07:00The classical guitarist at Tapas is a fixture. A performer is there almost every night. Did I mention to stay away from Kasbah as if your life depended on it?sac-eatswww.sacrag.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-2918200681191919742007-07-12T10:35:00.000-07:002007-07-12T10:35:00.000-07:00We have one tapas bar in Dublin - Havana on Georges Street. Been there twice now. They seem to define tapas as dry crackers with a few slices of chorizo, salami and cheese. Was a distinctly underwhelming experience...<BR/><BR/>Service aside, Tapa the World sounds much much better.Robhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14577573347139512005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-67770399620891552492007-07-11T19:29:00.000-07:002007-07-11T19:29:00.000-07:00I've been there! Loved the live music. Did they have a guitarist when you went?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-65705717413012879312007-07-11T19:24:00.000-07:002007-07-11T19:24:00.000-07:00I've been going to Tapa the World for years. The food's always been perfect but for the last 2 years, the service has gotten worse and worse. That's too bad because it's one of the few late night places in the grid to grab a non-fast food bite to eat.Allyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04221425804660693357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-42247855937558994952007-07-11T16:39:00.000-07:002007-07-11T16:39:00.000-07:00I guess Kasbah has gone downhill? When I went I loved the food, but service was still kinda shitty. I guess from the e-mails the food is crap now?<BR/><BR/>Let that be a lesson to people reading my reviews; pay attention to the date.

I've often noticed how Tapas employs the "zone defense" style of serving rather than the traditional "man-to-man". Typically the service is friendly though. And stay away from the food at Kasbah as if it were marinated in plague. No good can come of it.sac-eatswww.sacrag.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28702549.post-78404092807198439862007-07-11T15:10:00.000-07:002007-07-11T15:10:00.000-07:00I had a similar experience at Kasbah... and I know, you should only go there to smoke a hookah. But I wanted food. So our waitress was a total ditz, our food took forever and was pretty bad. I have eaten b'stilla many times in Morocco and Kasbah's version was dry to the point of inedibility. When I mentioned it to the manager, his response was that I must never have had authentic Moroccan food. Had to track down someone to take our money after all that. Never again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
