Should have stuck with the tapas
I love tapas restaurants...I'm a grazer, so I could live on little bites of this and that. When I first discovered Tapas restaurants I thought they were made just for me.

I went to this particular restaurant for sentimental reasons. I had gone there for my senior prom dinner when it was the Willoway Manor, and I was out on a date with the guy I had gone to prom with 20 some-odd years earlier. The fact that it was a tapas resaurant was just an added bonus.

The tapas were wonderful, but I have to agree with the Digital City reviewer that the paella left a lot to be desired; fish was overcooked and the rice was dry. It looked and tasted like it had been sitting under the heat lamp for quite a while.    [05 Jan 2003 20:27:44]

Bacon wrapped what?
Tapas restaurants, in general, end up costing alot for a little. This one is no exception, but...oooh the Sangria is good. The atmosphere, especially outside in the summer, is priceless, and those bacon wrapped dates! Don't bother with the Paella. In fact, dont bother with Paella unless you are in Barcelona. Stick with the tapas and prepare for a large bill unless you dont like Sangria or dates...its worth it. This is one of my favorite places to go with a group of friends and dine all night.    [07 Jun 2004 17:20:42]

Refreshing and Relaxing
I loved my experiences with Mason Sabika. I have been there on 3 different occasions, all personal. I have a favorite server who is very knowledgable about the food and recommeds her favorites when asked. She even sent us a thank you note and she congratulated us on our anniversary. How many servers have sent you a hand written thank you note for a party of only two? It is worth the wait (if any when you make a reservation) and the atmosphere is divine. Window seats are great as well as the tables in the middle of the rooms. It does get a little noisey at times, but it is still easy to have quaint conversation while others are in the same room with you. I would recommed this restaurant to anyone who loves to experience a little something out of the ordianry in the burbs. Go with an open mind and an empty stomach. District 203 loves Meson Sebika, that is how I learned of this gem in Naperville.
P.S. Thanks Patti for a job well done!!    [10 Jun 2006 16:05:12]

Recommended Dishes: I agree the bacon wrapped dates are a hit, I love the desserts as well. The coffee is sooo good, a great cup to finish a great meal and great conversation. ENJOY!!!

I'll never go back
I was a semi regular customer, used their catering service, hosted a party there, and dined several time a year, however, after the service, or lack there of last night I will NEVER go back. Don't get me wrong, sometimes the staff has an off night, I don't consider that a deal breaker, but when the manager is rude and snide, they have lost a loyal customer.    [21 Jun 2007 18:06:57]
