If you're looking for mediocre, overpriced food, a snooty, inattentive server, and want to share the experience with a bunch of pretentious old white people, then look no further! Otherwise, keep looking, there is MUCH better food and atmosphere to be found nearby. read more

Went twice for the Churrasco. We had it with root mash...so good. Shared this hearty $26 dish with my husband, big portion. Docking a point. Wait for food anywhere between 30 to 45 min. read more

For lunch I had the mahi-mahi wrap which is good. We also went back the same day for Dinner. Had the mahi mahi entree which was served with very good potatoes. read more

Worth going to Esperanza for this restaurant! The food is amazing and the service is superb. My husband had the boneless pork chop with ripe plantains and black bean sauce and it was a dream. I had the mahi mahi with mashed root vegetables with ripe plantain chutney so delicious. The appetizers were also a hit tuna ceviche and pulled pork croquetas , they were a great indication of what was going to follow. And to finish a an amazing meal the desserts were out of this world dulce de leche flan cake and apple cobbler with what seemed to be a fine layer of cheesecake on top. read more

Over the course of two trips to Vieques, we've sampled a bunch of restaurants. Bili is far and away our favorite. It's not cheap, but it's a great value (and drinks are cheap!)--and it's definitely cheaper than a couple of others we tried. Service is attentive but unpretentious. The food is totally incredible. If you're looking for something you could get in the States, this might not be for you. On the other hand, if you want Puerto Rican food with a little lighter twist or some of the freshest seafood around, try it! We can't wait to come back. Would make specific recommendations, but every single thing we've tried has been delicious. read more

The atmosphere and seating area of this place are great, as are the cocktails. The appetizers and main plates, in my opinion, are overpriced. Service overall was very friendly but very slow. We arrived about 8:30pm and did not leave til 10:45pm due to the pace of the service. Also, if arriving later, be aware they run out of popular items (lobster, skirt steak, lobster). read more

Food was pretty good but way overpriced. My wife and I got the vegetables and yucca gnocchi, which was good, but my sister in law got the gnocchi with lobster and the lobster was not cooked well. My brother got the chicken paella and the portion was extremely small and flavor wasn't great. Overall we really expected more for the price. Our server could tell we weren't happy and instead of trying to improve the situation she just got annoyed with us. read more

We were here on a Sunday night. While the staff was pleasant, they seemed understaffed for the night with longer than usual waits for drinks (for the island). The food was not that good, service slow, and it was expensive. Decent gnocchi but the fish was overcoked and the rest of the meal bland. read more

The food at bili has been the best we've eaten to date during our 3 days in Esperanza. The white wine sangria was killer. We had the mofongo appetizer which was delicious. They were out of the whole baked fish with pumpkin & coconut rissoto which was disappointing but the Mahi over smashed root veggies was excellent & the skirt steak salad was pretty good but the reason the review only gets 3 stars. They didn't ask how we'd like the steak cooked & it was very rare ( I prefer medium to med rare)& this one was super rare. We were too full for dessert but were happy we ate here. read more

I wish I could review Bili based on the food. Unfortunately, when we called at 2pm for a 9pm reservation (since reservations are accepted according to them), we were told "we aren't taking reservations because it rained." We decided to stop in at 7:30ish and see how long the wait was - the restaurant was about 2/3 filled with no one waiting outside. So, we stood there waiting for a hostess to pay attention to us for (no lie) 5 minutes. When we asked if there was a wait, she said it would be 30 minutes and "you should have made a reservation!" Oh well. read more

Both the food and service were great and the service was excellent. We let them know raft we were in a rush and they did everything possible to speed up our meal, while still providing excellent preparation. My only criticism is that the food was relatively pricey, which is because they seem to cater to tourists in this scenic location. read more

We love this restaurant. Unique, well-prepared fusion dishes and strong, thoughtful drinks. The flavors are delicate and powerful at the same time, while the Puerto Rican style is beautifully combined with that of other cultures. read more

Food is good, but the service is terrible. My family ordered four entrees, the first one came out at 60 minutes, the next two came out at 90 minutes and the last one never came. During the waiting period, the waitress did not refill drinks on time, each time we had to ask for it. The worst case was that the cashier even lost my credit card. This is my first ever yelp review. read more

We had the seafood paella, and it was delicious. I'm not a fan of lobster, so we could have left that off, but the rest of the seafood was wonderful. The calamari tapas was in a delicious sauce that our kids loved. And they voted the regular flan as the best they had ever had. My son wasn't crazy about his chicken dish, and I almost gave it 4 stars for that. And service was a bit slow, but still good. A great place for dinner. The lemonade was amazing, and I loved the arepa. read more

Very, very good. Yes service is slower than in big cities..hellllllo you be on island time. Please do not come here expecting the same thing you get on the mainland- thats why you came here, right? Came here twice, really happy with the food and service, def a do-over if we ever make it back read more

My husband and I have been to Vieques 3 times and we love visiting this island. We have had great experiences at most of the restaurants on island. We finally decided to give this restaurant a try on our 3 trip to Vieques and it was such a great disappointment. I had ordered the ceviche and he ordered the empanadas. We were sitting there for 45 minutes when I noticed the other tables were getting their entrees and we still didn't get our appetizers. I saw our waiter and he came over. I had asked him where our appetizers were and he responded "they will be out in a minute". After that we never saw him. Five minutes later, a female waitress came back with my husband empanadas and my husband asked her where my ceviche was. The female waitress responded I don't know anything. She left and came back 5 minutes later with my ceviche. I have to mention at this point that I am Ecuadorian and we are known for our ceviche. The ceviche they served me that night was made with HOT SAUCE. YES.....HOT SAUCE. I was so flabbergasted that I didn't know what to do. The waitress came back with free drinks and said "this is on house". At this point, my husband had finished his empanadas and I was just couldn't even eat the ceviche. We asked for the check and left. Our experience was so horrible that we will never return there. read more

My husband and I were on the Malceon during the day and noticed this restaurant and decided to got there for dinner based on the 77 reviews and the 4 star. Boy! I am glad we did! Dinner was fantastic and I can't stress that enough. Service was prompt and friendly. Our server was helpful and offered suggestions on some items that were not deep fried. The pineapple mojotio was perfect. My husband has a few tapas as dinner the included: lamb with medallion potato and sauce, mahi mahi ceviche and Tuna with ginger rice cakes. My husband ate all of it and did not offer me one bite of anything... He loved all of it. I had the pan seared mahi mahi with mojo and root veggie mash. It was delicious. I'm still thinking about how tender the fish was and the sweetness of the mojo on top mixed with the mash. It was just great. read more

The food was good actually. What really sucked was a mandatory 18% gratuity that was added to the bill for a table of 2. This was done without any mention while seating us or anywhere in the menu. When asked about it they just said its usually what they do. Ironically we were actually considering tipping 20% before the check showed up. read more

If you are looking for a dish that matches the scenary , this is THE PLACE.I think this is the only place around that has a real chef.

By far our favorite restaurant in Esperanza. Service was fast and friendly. Food was not only delicious but also authentic. I would not only go back but highly recommend it to anyone going to Vieques. Make sure to try the coconut mojito. read more

Great food and wonderful service! We were running late for a bio bay tour and had to ask our server if we were going to have time to eat. She was great with recommending some faster tapas and getting us out the door quickly. Everyone was great and the ceviche is amazing; possibly the best I have ever had! It is priced right for the quality of food too! read more

This place has great ceviche which goes well with the plantains that come on the side. The paella was nice but I found the arepas a little bland (although I found this to be the case in other restaurants too). When I asked for something local, we were given conch which is a must-try. It's definitely pricier.... I want to say on average $25-30/pax without dessert and drinks read more

I usually don't like cooked fish, but I had the mahi mahi with conch in a garlic cream sauce, and it was quite good. It was served over mashed root vegetables with a small side salad. Unlike other places on the Malecon, the view here isn't great, but the food is good and the service is solid.. read more

Smokey's BBQ. This place is a must see and quickly!! It will become very popular very soon. Only been open 9 months. Ribs were very meaty, rice & beans great. Hamburger was huge and french fries perfect. Go now! They don't serve alcohol but you can BYOB. read more

My food was delicious, but my girlfriend didn't enjoy her seafood dish. Service was good, ambiance was nice, it is a nice place to eat. Not as good as El Quenepo, but better than most places in Esperanza. read more

The food was outrageously salty. They tried to make up for that by plating it fancily. The only good things were the waterfront location and the service. Some of the nearby restaurants are a lot more quality. Overall, Bilis is not a restaurant that I would come back to. read more

This place was so amazing, we came back two nights in a row. The seafood was amazingly fresh, service was friendly and quick. We ordered the grilled caesar salad, mahi nuggets, ceviche, seafood paella, pigeon peas risotto. Everything was absolutely delicious. The mahi nuggets were amazing - light and flaky crust, very tender mahi - ordered them originally for the kids, but came back the second night and ordered two servings so the grown ups could get a few bites as well. The paella was the best paella I've ever had - every single element of the dish was cooked to perfection. The ceviche was very fresh and flavorful - needed a little salt, but that was a quick fix. And as if things couldn't get any better at this place, they have THE most amazing jalapeno guava margarita. I've never had such a unique combination of salty, sweet, spicy, and sour - I'm dreaming about the next time I can come back to Vieques just for this drink! read more

very bad and slow service, different attitude toward us than toward other non Asian customers which made us feel very uncomfortable
