    The OMG filet........Friggen great
    Andy D.

    Absolutely the best restaurant in Puerto Adventuras. But, why you ask, you've walked by the place and ehhh. These are the reasons for the season, and you'll understand why they work so hard to knock this place out of the park. 1. Everyone is a manager. Employees work hard for your satisfaction. But why? 2. They love the owner John. But, why? 3. John takes care of them like family, health care, finances, you name it this bombastic guy has a heart of gold. 4. Highest food quality! 5. The chef, can be a chef! Every dinner item I've had here is phenomenal, no I just had the filet, it was 10oz of OMG, so good I'd name my child after it. Char grilled on real coals, gave it that smoky, charred outer texture, cooked to a perfect medium rare. ORGASMIC, vegetarians beware. I can't say enough, I dare anyone to find something better in the states. And, there rib eye, looks to be about 26oz......fuh!

    Love the addition of Pajama Brunch! Hippo-s has been rejuvinated by the addition of De Ja Vu.... The food is as great as always!

    Veggie burger.  Very good.
    Daniella D.

    Super friendly and attentive staff. Great food - lunch & dinner. They offer breakfast as well though we didn't try it. The dinner ceviche was huge & excellent. Lots of vegetarian options which is a bonus. I had the veggie burger which was very good. The waiter even offered up several veggie dishes which were not on the menu to accommodate me so just ask. One option was the Mexican plate which came with grilled cactus, grilled veggies, black beans, guacamole, salsa & quesadillas. Ask for rice instead of quesadillas which is what I should have done if your vegan. My husband liked both the fish dish and the gnocchi. Large TV with NHL playoff games on (go Blackhawks!). They let us finish watching the late game even though they were closing. Our favorite spot on the marina!

    This place is perfect and the view is great the only bad thing is the prices this place is probably one of the most expensive places on the marina

    Killer spot to hang out. Food was stellar and service was top notch. Sunday brunch was a hit for the family. Night bartender Noe crushes it.

The food good, although it could've been great if the chef would've used more seasoning in the meat ( maybe dry brine it ) before cooking it...? just a thought, same with the sides ( vegetables, baked potato, peppers etc) other than that, very good ambience ( music not too loud) Max ( The dog) the comes every night patiently waits for you to give him whatever you don't finish ( steak ) Español: Nuestra visita fue muy agradable. Buen ambiente, El camarero ( Mesero) Abelardo fue muy amable, tomamos un par de copas de vino tinto, ¡y estaban excelentes! La comida estuvo buena, aunque podría haber sido mejor si el chef hubiera sazonado mejor la carne (quizás la hubiera puesto en salmuera seca) antes de cocinarla... Solo una idea, lo mismo con las guarniciones (verduras, papas al horno, pimientos, etc.). Por lo demás, muy buen ambiente (música no muy alta). P.S. Hay un Perrito ( Max ) que llega al restaurante y espera que termines y lo que no termines de comer ( carne ) el lo recibe agradecido!!

We ordered a bottle of red wine since we're eating steak. The wine was robust I ordered the T-bone steak and Pooh ordered the Fillet Mignon. Both of us asked for medium rare but both were more rare than medium. Still the steak melted in my mouth. Our server, Damian was great. He brought out a tray with the different cuts of steaks to show us what each looked like (see photo). He did the same for the desserts (see photo) I ordered the Lime Charlotte and Pooh chocolate mousse. I had no idea what a Charlotte was but it was amazing. It was like a key lime pie without the crust but layers of cake with chunks of lime curd throughout-sublime truly Pooh loved his mousse. The taste and texture was velvety and he enjoyed the extra crunch of the chocolate chips. A wonderful supper. No complaints!!!

Very good overall experience and the staff was very friendly and service was great. A great spot for dinner when in playa.

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!
