It seems like a place locals go to drink, but not necessarily eat. Nonetheless, we were there and hungry, so ordered a few items. We tried the seafood mofongo, conch salad, and red snapper. The seafood mofongo was some of the best mofongo I had on the island. I enjoyed the seafood, but especially liked the little chicarron bits that were smashed into the mofongo. The red snapper was also huge and very shareable and paired well with hot sauce. Overall, we enjoyed the food and found the staff to be very friendly.

This place was packed, but after dealing with two people quickly, the greeter set us quickly. She then allowed us to move to a better table, on the terrace overlooking the ocean, when it became available. Our server, Billy, cannot be beat. He made excellent recommendations and described every drink and dish perfectly. We had the mushroom appetizer, which is fantastic, and the shrimp, also highly recommend. For mains we had the salmon, red snapper and mahi mahi, all fantastic and different. Really no need to go into it too much because the menu changes and everything was good. Just ask questions to make sure it fits your savory/sweet and raw/cooked preferences. For drinks, the house White was great and mineral-y, the Mezcal cocktail and rum with pineapple cocktails (new one at very top 2/14/2026) were great. 2 comments...not a fan of Medallia, but Billy recommended ...its natural...got a Michelob...just saying. Also, would've been great to have a little bread with the shrimp because the sauce was so good, my daughter lapped it all up. They are so great over there, pretty sure they would have found a way to accommodate if asked...dont miss this place IMO.

I ordered the conch salad thinking it was $18, but ended up with a $39 version on the bill. It was okay, though a bit more chewy than I prefer, and the portion was huge.

Besides the pricing confusion, the food is good, very flavorful and authentic. I'd definitely return now that I know to double-check the details upfront. Great spot overall!

My boys and I decided to walk the shore with the intentions on trying one of the restaurants alongside the beach for lunch and settled on this spot after seeing their ratings. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which was a huge relief given we were in much need of AC. The place wasn't crowded but it had its share of people- deff looked like a popular spot for the locals. Staff were welcoming and seated us promptly. The menu is extensive with so many options to choose from it made it hard to pick. I decided to leave it in the waitresses hand to suggest an app and entree for myself. She recommended the mini acapurrias that came paired with a guava sauce and the shrimp mofongo made from a mixture of sweet plantains and tosotones-it was mouth watering good. I'll have her to blame for the longing I'll have to endure of such an incredible dish. I have personally never finished any mofongo but this one I damn bear licked the plate. The shrimp was juicy, fresh, the garlic not overbearing. The amount of caldo was just portioned so as kiss the amount of mofongo served. My kiddos loved the mini alcapurrias. They were crisp, hot and paired deliciously with the guava sauce. My eldest had the churrasco which he described as being juicy and tender and my little guy had the chicken tenders and fresh cut fries which were a treat. I would absolutely - more like religiously- would return to this spot.

I ate here a few times during my stay and there were really no stand out dishes. Breakfast was probably the best meal I had here - the eggs benedict and steak and eggs were both solid. Coffee here is good, but shockingly priced at $6. The chicken wings here were dry. I ordered one of the specials off the dinner menu, but it was also dry and a bit bland. That said, I really enjoyed the cocktails here, and the staff were very nice and accommodating. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here during your stay, but for a quick meal by the pool it's not bad. Would def recommend breakfast food over any of the other menu items.

We ordered appetizer , we had the croquettas de jamon (ham croquettes ) and popcorn shrimp in walnut spicy honey glazed lemon , absolutely 20/10 !!! And if anyone is worried about the item being spicy I don't believe it was but it had a little tiny aftertaste kick more on the peppery side but none the less delicious , for entrees my s/o had lamb chops in pumpkin puree and cherry aujus ,with a side of KGB Fried Rice and sweet playing and I Had the shrimp mofongo in garlic sauce with a Side of avocado , sooo let me give these two entrees there flowers Lamb Chops Cooked medium well - Perfectly cooked to expectation juicy ,tender and the fat rendered making it incredibly flavorful rich and savory The pumpkin puree and pumpkin pave & cherry ajus took this meal to the moon way way way beyond expectation it added a the pumpkin was sweet and smooth that paired so well with the meat and the cherry ajus just bright everything together in a beautiful unified marriage of flavor every bite was the perfect bite and complimented it so well my s/o and I couldn't stop rolling and closing our eyes per bite no exaggeration! Easily the best lamb dish I have tried in an extremely long time !!! Mofongo de camarones By FAR THE BEST MOFONGO i had in PUERTO RICO and I had quite a few throughout the years and on this trip so I could compare !!!! Everything about this dish was perfect and I know speaking about a Mofongo in this light is SERIOUS !!!! The shrimp was cooked exactly how it should be cooked tender and juicy .... Please have no fear of overcooked dry shrimp bc from KGB that is NOT happening they are serving nothing but excellence !! The garlic sauce surprised me because it wasn't thick like a gravy or creamy where cream was added like I have normally experienced when ordering in other places ; it was more of a light garlic sauce flavor that soaked beautifully int the Mofongo without over powering it, Then I discovered onions in the sauce which made it even better bc I love onions in a meal then requesting avocado as a side to my meal was the perfect pairing , it added that fresh , and creamy element that connected the whole bite together and balanced all the rich and garlic flavors with the shrimp , it just WORKED !!like I mentioned after trying so many Mofongos and bifongos around PR , this exceeded my expectations 10/10 best one I had in my life Finished our meal w a nice double espresso each We left feeling completely satisfied and full but not with that heavy , uncomfortable feeling you often get after eating a super rich meal . Everything was well balanced from the start to the end . Amazing food, Excellent service, & beautiful ambiance and made it such a wonderful experience It was a dining experience to remember !

While our waitress was quite nice, she didn't have the background on us as they do on other restaurants, for lack of a better word she had no idea who we were or even if we were staying at the resort. The restaurant was also largely empty, which hurt the ambience. I did greatly enjoy the burrata and pumpkin starter, the flavors worked very well and the burrata was excellent. The lobster was meh, while the flavor was nice and the hollandaise was good, it was not much meat for a 2 lb lobster, no claw meat. Again, not bad but nothing exciting. Overall, it left us a little disappointed and we won't be back.
