As nice as my visit was a couple of months ago was, that's how awful it was today. There were three empty tables for four when we approached the desk; one couple was just being seated at one. But we were told there were no more tables available in the main area, under the roof. We were led outside to sit at a table, isolated, under an umbrella. We chose instead to sit at the bar. Where we saw on the menu that my rum drink - $26 in January - was now $32. We exited the premises.
Beware of the pigeons they are ruthless. My son fed them a fry and they wouldn't stop coming. The view was nice but the food was very disappointing. The chicken quesadilla takes like chicken from a can. It was soggy and salty?¿ the pizza was flooded in grease and oil but when you managed to get past that it was pretty good. The best thing on the menu. Getting my tab took a while but the lady seemed overwhelmed since it was the day of the Super Bowl . I thought based on the reviews it would be great but it was pretty disappointing the pizza is the only thing worth trying and there are other loads of places I feel are better .
Beautiful view and great service! The double smash burger is a must. The ceviche needed more lime and salt but it was very fresh!
Food is ok, service is not bad, but don't know why they still used the old menu which has dishes no longer available. But it s great location dining on the beach
As noted, this is an awesome location for anyone visiting the beach at Isle Verde. Located on the beach outside the Royal Sonesta, the ample seating, and prodigious bar is but one of several places to imbibe, grab a bite and enjoy the surroundings. We stopped in after a long jaunt around the horn and back again on the sand and found the Marg's and apps to be solid and not outrageously (it IS the Royal Sonesta to be sure) expensive. We found the service to be quite quick on a late afternoon (5'ish) in mid-week February, so no complaints on that, nor on the app. The Local Trio, consisting of 3 fried turnovers; chicken, beef and guava cheese, are more than enough to quell any hunger pains and probably substantial enough for a solo dinner option. The beef was the tastiest, but the Guava Cheese was the most distinctive...actually representing what should have been the 'dessert' turnover (slightly sweet, nicely gooey). All in all, we would definitely do this and Ocean Breeze, again!
Came here for lunch on the beach. My friend and I split the caesar salad and the plantain nachos with ground beef. The nachos were amazing. The plantain chips did not get soggy at all and the flavor from the meat and toppings was delicious. The salad was as expected, but I think a little high at $18 with no protein added. I also ordered a spicy margarita and it was refreshing and had just the right amount of heat that I was looking for. Our table was right on the sand and our server was quick and friendly. They have several tables both covered and in the sun. Some have umbrellas and there are seats available at the bar. I'd recommend coming here for a break from the beach, but maybe skip the salad.
I mean...it's a hotel beach restaurant. Prices are pretty high and food is fine! The lobster roll was tasty but it definitely has a lot of bread for that price point. Lobster tasted fresh however! Also tried the ceviche and while it was a lot for one person I would say this could probably only be split by 2 people max. This restaurant gets SLAMMED at lunch time so take that into consideration before ordering, one day I was told it was gonna be an hour wait for a Togo food item. Ended up coming back the next day for an early lunch and had to wait about 30 mins. So definitely try to avoid the crowd. All in all place is fine. But hey look at that beach ammirite?
My travels have taken me to Puerto Rico. The resort has the Ocean Breeze restaurant on the beach. It was seat yourself. The menu is straight forward with seafood and fish tacos, etc. wide variety of cocktails are available. The view is amazing, but the service was far from it. Took about 10min for a server to greet me and he never came back to check on the food after it arrived or provided any refills. I decided on the shrimp wrap. It was tasty and the shrimp are big. There is a blackened seasoning I believe on them to give them their taste. I thought the tarter/Mayo overwhelmed the taste of the shrimp somewhat. The fries are seasoned but were a little cold. Overall the food is good and the view is fantastic! The service is far from it. The food would get a 3.5-4 but the service ranked about 2 stars. It's worth a stop though
I'll take 10 guava pinas pls also the chicken thigh skewers were BANGIN. Great lunch spot on the beach
I want to give this a 3.5. Ambience is perfect. Food is pretty good and all the other reviews that indicate food is bad are overly critical. We enjoyed both appetizers we had. We had the local combination plate and pork beer something. We will be here a week and I will eat this again!
It's spectacular view of the ocean makes up for the just ok food . I had the chori pan which was just ok . The prices are a little high but it's to be expected when you're at a beach front restaurant. Staff is very nice though and watch out for the birds !! They get really close. One almost flew right into my head .
Went to Ocean Breeze on 09June2024 at around 04:30 pm. I had the catch of the day, a red snapper and fries along with a Pina Colada. The fish and fries were great along with the Pina Colada (I should've mixed it up more, the picture was it unmixed up). The service was great, our server was very attentive. However, it was very hot and we unfortunately had to sit near the hotel side, which doesn't have fans. I would recommend sitting near the beach side if you can since there's more wind. It was also a little expensive, about $26 for the fillet snapper, small fries and small salad. Although, it was worth it and is a locally caught fish. I would definitely go back here!
We tried the chicken quesadilla, big chucks of chicken inside but nothing special about the taste, maybe we need to try something different? Pretty expensive though but Tony's it was worth it because of all the good things mentioned on this review. Our server was Michael and he did great, we never ran out of water, always had a drink and food was quick. He was very professional and accommodating. View is amazing, drinks are good, place is clean and you're right on the beach.
This place is just ok... what it delivers is a lovely beachfront experience with pretty good service. It is quite convenient off the beach. Prices are inflated for the quality, but you're paying resort prices. What it lacks is good drinks. I'm sure the beer is great, but we ordered the guava colada, spicy margarita, and a colada lemonade and all three were misses. The rosé was acceptable with notes of strawberry. If you're on the beach and need a snack, I recommend the quinoa veggie bowl add chicken. Healthy, protein packed, and good texture mixed throughout with the fresh vegetables. There are also tvs at the bar if you're trying to keep up with a game. read more

The food is good, pricey but the hostess is not at all welcoming, treats non Caucasians better than the minority. She is also of latin and I asked her if it would hurt to be more welcoming to guests she didn't even crack a smile. I simply told her to work in hospitality one needs to be more empathetic and welcoming. Same applies to the Royal Sonesta management. I don't think I would ever stay here again. Not good . read more

Good drinks, lackluster food, and the worst service known to mankind. My partner and I were ignored for a long time and when we set our things down to take a photo on our way out we were approached by a waiter reprimanding us for that? When we made it clear what was happening he did not apologize he just walked away. Horrible. read more

I had a lovely time on my visit in Puerto Rico and I had the chance to search this restaurant and come and visit. It was a beautiful as it was near the beach but at a nice distance just to cancel the noise out. The food was amazing. I ordered the quesadillas and they were so hot and cheesy. Omg the cook took his time, as well as my server Domingues to check on me to make sure I was enjoying myself, I also had a few drinks and those were pretty good. If your touring or visiting I'd definitely recommend. read more

The food was pretty good for a hotel beach bar. The prices were in line with the standard resort prices that you would expect. The ambiance however is fantastic. There is a view of the ocean and neighboring resorts. Overall, I would recommend for a quick lunch if you're in the area! read more

Went here on a Saturday night around 7p, it was surprisingly empty. The ambiance was great with a nice view of the ocean, the food was good overall but pina colada's were not great unfortunately. We got a pepperoni pizza which was okay (we try pizza every restaurant we go) and then the steak/yuca dinner which was great. The service was better than expected, anyone who has ever been to PR knows the service is laid back and if you're not expecting that everywhere you go here you're going to have a rough time. read more

Yum! Fun in the sun cocktails on the beach, tacos & toes in the sand! This place does have an upper deck so you can be removed a bit from directly being in the sand if wanted. The service is attentive and fun! The drink options are excellent (Pina Colada's are gray here!) the food is ok but the fish tacos are arguably superior!!! It's beach food and pricey - I pay for ambiance! The vibe is worth every penny! read more

Stayed at Royal Sonesta and this was the outdoor pre-beach option. The pizza (when they have it) is a solid A; the Cuban Sandwich is a B+; Chicken Wrap a B+; Chicken Tenders C- they were overcooked, warm not hot and not appealing. The drinks were a solid B+; here during Xmas and the coquito drink is an A+ Was a little disappointed today with the 18 dollar quesadilla- take a look at the photos and you'll see why...scant ingredients and definitely not worth the amount I paid. Overpriced food, kinda slow to get your meal, and the pigeons and birds circling make for a sometimes annoying experience. The staff are all wonderful! Recommend only as a VERY last resort if starving & a severe diabetic with dire low blood sugar and ready to die. read more

The Ocean Breeze on Avenue Isla Verde in Carolina is a great place to eat on the beach with delicious food and drinks. I really like the location and views of the water and the fun and relaxed atmosphere that they have created here. The staff here is very accommodating and makes sure that you have a good meal. read more
