    Had to get a photo of our group with our cool server!

    Food was amazing as always, and our server was so sweet! The decor was cute inside but we of course sat outside (as you all should!)

    Seafood pasta, loaded with octopus, squid, crab, shrimp, mussels.

    Food was delicious!! We ordered seafood pasta, rib eye steak with red wine Demi mushroom glaze and carbonara. Portions were big. Service was excellent w/Rodrigo! Nice ambience...we sat outside and there was a man playing all different instruments. He was a very good entertainer The only problem was mosquitos... but the server had bug spray for us to use and it worked well. Would definitely come back and recommend to others.

    This Restaurant was Really Good When I visit Playa again , I will Definitely return. We enjoyed thoroughly

    So we didn't order a steak at this steakhouse...because we saw how well they were preparing their seafood! The Seafood Scampi, Mussels, and Calamari were all excellent (and yes, we did overeat here). The scampi was excellent, nicely seasoned with large and perfectly cooked seafood! The Mussels were my favorite here-the broth was perfect for toast dipping! The appetizer of Fried Calamari was nicely done, not too rubbery and a nice accompanying dipping marinara sauce. Great service, cozy/romantic spot in the courtyard off of 5th Av. The only negative was the gringo electric guitarist musician in front of the restaurant that was so loud that it deterred from our meal. Luckily he left after no one tipped him so another good musician stepped in. Otherwise, I would recommend this spot (especially for families), no matter what you pick as your entree (steak/burger/seafood)!

    Steaks were phenomenal, service was fantastic, Benjamin was delightful. The outdoor patio has a nice and relaxing atmosphere.

    Came here specifically to taste their meat. While they do offer some well-prepared steaks, they are seemingly still constrained by the beef quality in Playa. When the maître de came to present us the raw steaks (a custom at this spot) they were clearly paler and less marbled than what we look for back home. That said, the ribeye was well-executed. Though it didn't have as much intra-muscular fat as I'd like, the fat it did have was flavorful and well-rendered. They cooked my steak exactly as I ordered it (Medium). It was indeed tender on the bite. So I think this is a good kitchen and restaurant. Unfortunately, the level of beef is naturally constrained by the paucity of local fresh beef slaughterhouses in the region.

    Josie does restaurant right!

    OH WHAT A NIGHT! Kudos and enormous thanks to Giusey and Mauricio at 500 Gramos Grill for providing a beautiful atmosphere full of warmth and shelter from the rain, flawlessly prepared, presented and served delicious meals, excellent service and keeping our drinks full, and surprising us with a delicious desert. It was a love fest, full of amazement and warmth with an incredible group . It was a grim, rainy night before arriving at 500 Gramos Grill where we were welcomed with a beautiful setting and candlelight dinner. Although admin, Amanda Tucker, and the PB official photographer , had requested that I not post my "Poor quality and blurry pics" I still must share my blurred vision of the event. As any Biter knows, we have a fondness of starting our events with drinks, followed by my favorite bruschetta, which was a huge hit. Some Biters commented that it was so extraordinary that some never liked bruschetta before or even tomatoes! Entrees consisted of a delicious pork rib special with grilled veggies and potatoes, the best steaks in Playa, vegetarian pasta, and do much more. Giusy Polese and Mauricio Fuentes didn't miss a beat, and I'm still trying to understand how their kitchen was so efficient. And much continued love and thanks to the Biters in attendance. Don't forget to share your experience

    I was wanting a steak and no more nachos or tacos, so I looked up a good spot and found this gem. It's behind a sign that is for a store. First of all the staff was so accommodating. I even met the chef and owner. I got some bruschetta and it was amazing. Perfectly blended and the bread was very tasty. It had a nice crunch to it, which I love. My drinks were blended very well as well. They made everything as I requested. My drink was stiff and my water was kept full. The steak was so delicious. Not chewy or overdone. The veggies I ordered were perfectly prepared. I didn't get to try dessert but did do a couple small shots. Very nice atmosphere and service.

    This was a nice find on 5th Avenue. We walked past it on our way down the street, but stopped by…read moreon our back. The seating on the 2nd floor overlooking the shopping area is the best for people watching. We started with table side guacamole and it was good. We asked the preparer to add a little more spice to heat it up and it was added flavor. The main meals were very good and the menu has many options. My wife ordered a mango margarita and it was great. We enjoyed our lunch here and we will be back on our next visit to Playa Del Carmen.

    On our last night in Playa del Carmen last week, Daniel picked this spot for dinner and I am so…read morehappy he did. The location is fabulous. it is on the main strip on 5th Ave but on the second floor overlooking the hustle and bustle below. You get a great view with a romantic, peaceful atmosphere. The décor has a tropical vibe with lots of plants. The hostess, server and manager were all super nice and helped us choose the best items on the diverse menu. We started with some ceviche and stuffed jalapenos. Both were delicious. I order a glass of Malbec from Argentina- happy they had a decent wine selection as many places in Mexico only have good beer or tequila. For my entrée, I had bacon wrapped tiger shrimp on a bed of mashed potatoes. Yum!! Daniel had a lobster pasta dish and it was quite good too though I think we both preferred mine. The price was very reasonable - for 2 apps, 2 entrees and 2 glasses of wine it was $77 USD before tip. It would be nearly impossible to have that much for that price at a fine dining place here. Thanks for a lovely experience, Madre Tierra!
