    this restaurant in barceloneta was a great choice. they serve big plates and have specials everyday of the week. it was so cold in the restaurant which always throws me off a bit. service was great. they were helpful with answering our questions. would definitely go again. food was solid !

    Service excellent. Free bread with garlic. Great dinning location. Recommendations: brochetas de filete de res, arroz congri. Portions are plentiful, could share if not too hungry or in diet (like me).... Overall: price, quality, service, locations yields 4 stars.

    Food: 3 Decor: 3 Service: 2 I came here with two coworkers for an early dinner around 4pm. 1. Beef empanadillas, 7 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hkYHm3JecSm80rhIkGpcGg?userid=2fN8mN7uUjOw-QqtcgYqXQ Mediocre. Not much stuffing. 2. Braised pork on crispy plantains, 12 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hkYHm3JecSm80rhIkGpcGg?select=w381Ew97rYSDAnAKFMWD9A Delicious, best dish of the meal. Pork was braised perfectly and went well with the plantains. 3. Halibut fillet with yuka and crillio, 22 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hkYHm3JecSm80rhIkGpcGg?select=4RCO8-te3PPSK7MacfLVLg Disappointing. Halibut was mediocre, and I didn't like the cassava or the crillio (red rice and beans). Way too salty. 4. Cheese flan, 5 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hkYHm3JecSm80rhIkGpcGg?select=n1FTu6Z6kQb-A5OPSHknxg Pretty good. Cheesecake-like flan. 5. Mango smoothie Pretty good. Service was slow.

    Steak, black rice & tostones... Yummmmm

    Came on a Friday night. I must admit I usually do not give 5 stars out that easy but this place deserved one. When we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly hosted who offered us seating at the restaurant or bar. We were seated in the restaurant instantly and a server was to us instantly. I got the steak and was very impressed with the black rice and beans. Better than I've had it anywhere in the States. (Bold claim but I put merit behind it) The server was wonderful. I didn't get her name but she knew my Spanish needed work to she tried to assist me with learning while ordering. Prices were very reasonable. The ambiance was comfortable. The restaurant is located in a plaza with a few outlet stores and a movie theater. Parking is available. I was only in Manati for one night but if I return I will be sure to grab a meal at Metropol.

    This place has good food and service. I went Sunday . The service was a little slow because it was full of people but with social distance. At least you have the choice to sit 6 feet from othe people.

    This was good but I've had better. I had the fried chicken and it was a lot of fat just kind of average chicken bites really. Capitain America cocktail was not very strong and was quite sugary. Husband had pepper steak and it was good, just again pretty average. Portions were huge, service was friendly and attentive. It's def better than the Olive Garden or chills that are right there!

    I got the pepper steak-she got the omelet-kid got the nuggets. All food was great!

    If you want Mofongo, picadillo, or one of their daily specials (highly recommended), this is a great place.

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.

I ordered the seafood mofongo and the ceviche. The ceviche was its own meal. It was alot. No complaints from me. It was fresh delicious and i can almost taste it writing this review. service was great. The tostones the ceviche came with were crispy hot and garlicky! The seafood mofongo was super good. All fresh seafood in a garlic sauce that complimented the mofongo lovely. I tried some chicharron de pollo as well. Crispy hot and savory. Yes I would love to come back here and try more food and recommend anyone in the area to do the same!

Hice una reservación para 12…read morepersonas, ya que estábamos celebrando el cumpleaños de mi mamá, y desde el inicio el servicio fue extremadamente lento. Todo era un dolor de cabeza; incluso tuvimos que levantarnos varias veces de la mesa para solicitar cosas básicas. Si le pudiera dar menos de una estrella lo haría. Para comenzar, se ordenaron unas tiritas de pollo con arroz y habichuelas para los niños, las cuales tardaron aproximadamente una hora en llegar. Durante ese tiempo preguntamos en múltiples ocasiones por el estado de la comida y no recibimos respuestas claras. Luego pedimos aperitivos: 2 tuna tartar, 2 pulpos y 1 chorizo al vino. Estos tardaron alrededor de 1 hora y 45 minutos en llegar, algo totalmente inaceptable para platos relativamente sencillos. Además, trajeron dos platos que nunca fueron ordenados. La situación empeoró con los platos principales. Se ordenó un rib eye término medium rare y llegó "well done". El acompañante, un supuesto arroz mamposteao, era simplemente arroz con color y habichuelas, sin ninguna preparación adecuada. El chillo fresco llegó seco y frío. En otras palabras, no tenía sabor. Los dos mofongos (uno de camarones y otro de pollo) también llegaron completamente fríos. El risotto de langosta fue lo único aceptable, aunque el sabor no destacaba y la porción de langosta no llegaba ni a 6 oz. Las carnes fritas con tostones estaban completamente quemadas. Todo esto tardó más de una hora adicional, sin ninguna justificación, y aun así la comida llegó en malas condiciones. En ningún momento se nos informó sobre el retraso ni recibimos disculpas. Estábamos ubicados en el segundo piso y tuve que bajar personalmente a solicitar hablar con un gerente. La única excusa que nos dio fue que había mucho volumen de clientes y poco personal, lo cual no es cierto, ya que cuando llegamos solo había entre 3 y 4 mesas ocupadas; el restaurante estaba prácticamente vacío. Lamentablemente, la experiencia no mejoró con el segundo intento de los platos. El rib eye llegó en el término correcto, pero extremadamente duro, como si no hubiera sido preparado adecuadamente. El mofongo de la cumpleañera estaba duro y sin sabor, y el resto de los platos continuaban con los mismos problemas. Para colmo, en la mesa no había servilletas, los cubiertos eran escasos y, al final, nos entregaron cubiertos plásticos para comer churrasco. Es muy triste, porque el lugar es bonito, pero el servicio y la calidad de la comida no están a la altura en lo absoluto. Lo que se supone que fuera una celebración terminó siendo un completo fiasco. Da hasta coraje
