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.

De las peores experiencias que he tenido fue en este restaurante. 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

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.

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.

The owner was going from table to table and spent quite a bit of time with us, explaining the name and history of the restaurant. It turns out they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We really enjoyed it and almost went back for breakfast one day but just didn't have the time.

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.
