Sitting outside facing the Atlantic Ocean with the cool ocean breeze was such a beautiful and peaceful experience. The views alone made the stop worthwhile, but I was pleased with the entire experience. The service was great from start to finish. For appetizers, I ordered the Chicharrones de Pollo, which were flavorful and crispy. I also tried one of the mozzarella sticks, but it didn't have that satisfying cheese pull I was hoping for. My man ordered the shrimp mofongo and really enjoyed it, while my brother-in-law was very happy with his snapper fish. For my entree, I chose the Mofongo Relleno de Pollo, a mashed plantain mofongo topped with chicken, and it was delicious. The portion was decent and packed with flavor. For dessert I tried the guava flan. While the flavor was nice, the texture was a bit too tough for my liking. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the oceanfront views were absolutely amazing. If you're passing by the area, Playa Brava is definitely worth stopping by for a meal and a chance to enjoy the scenery.

We felt a little underdressed in our hiking clothes, this would be a great place to dress up and have a dinner out. The service was amazing- and the food was 4/5. The empanadas were DELICIOUS- definitely the highlight of our lunch. The rest of the dishes were good- the fresh caught red snapper was deep fried- which took away the experience of it being fresh. Coconut Shrimp, Salmon, Mahi Mofungo, Seafood Paella were all good- not the best ever- but the whole experience was perfect.

Not the best seafood place in the area…read more We (a party of four) went there on a Friday afternoon for lunch. We were seated fairly quickly, in the inside part of the business as there were "no seats outside" - that wasn't the case. The server came promptly to take our order: @drinks - mojito, sangria, water and a soda. The sangria tasted like pouch sangria poured into a glass and the mojito had little to no rum. @Starters - marine sampler, which was greasy and overly cooked. @main dishes - paella marinera for 2, lobster tail, and stuffed mashed plantains with ceti (local fish). My overall impression of the main dishes wasn't great for the price we paid for the meal ($$$). The paella for two lacked flavor and the seafood wasn't properly cleaned (the shellfish had the poop vein); the lobster wasn't local and tasted weird; the stuffed plantains with ceti were very salty. For the latter we offered our feedback to the server and she just took the plate away, without offering any substitutions or following up. Enough to say that I'll not be coming here again. The price of the food goes beyond the quality and service. The only nice thing about the place its the view, which we got to see through a window.

I figured Islote by the beach would be my best bet to find something open. At first glance it looked a little shabby and like it might be more of a bar but then I read the sign and it said dinner so I decided to stop in. The place ended up being perfect for me. I was able to find a spot right in front of the restaurant so I can watch my car. (I had bad experience in Islote i'm paranoid LOL) There was live music with a gentleman singing and I enjoyed it. Then I saw the view and it blew me away it was spectacular! The waves come in and are practically under your feet. The moon was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen and I had front row seats. I ended up running into someone I knew from the area who said his Brother was actually the owner of the bar. He took my order and somehow it never got to the kitchen. LOL. After a long wait I finally approached the brother of the person I knew and asked him if my meal was coming out soon, he laughed and said his brother was crazy and never put in any order for me. I almost died in disbelief. I didnt know whether to cry or laugh I was starving and into my second beer on an empty stomach. Thankfully the brother and a woman from the kitchen came over and quickly took my order and a reasonable time later brought my food. My meal was $18.99 but I got fish "a la mantequilla" (butter) and rice beans and mofongo. Which is really complete and what I most like. I ate every last bite. The fish was delicious and the rice and beans with a little side of cabbage was perfect. Mofongo best ive had so far. I would give it a 5 if it wasn't because it was missing chicharron. (LOL) Once we figured out the brother never placed my order and got things moving everything went A+. I wish I remembered the owners name but he was super nice and apologetic and gifted me a beer and even packed a cute little guava and cheese tupperware for me! That was the sweetest! I will definitely be back!

The flavors were pleasant, just a bit different from what I expected. For example, the guava sauce is blended with soy sauce, giving it a unique twist. The presentation of the dishes is very Americanized, and there was no traditional garlic sauce for the mofongo. Instead, the only option available was a store-bought chimichurri, which didn't quite complement the dish the way a homemade sauce would have.
