We arrived late after a long flight and with a large group. We were seated fairly quickly overlooking the ocean. QR code menus were provided which was difficult for some of the older people in our group. The waitress who spoke little English was very helpful despite some language barriers (I speak a little Spanish). It did take a while for our orders to come out but we did have a large party so I will guess that is why, no biggie because the food was worth the wait! Everything was delicious. The fried red snapper was my favorite and seasoned perfectly. The sample board was a great appetizer for 8 ppl to share and try a little of everything. The red sangria was yummy. This was a great introduction to Dominican food for my family who was visiting me for the first time. We also had a birthday at midnight and they brought out dessert and sang. It was a great kick off to our family vacation in Santo Domingo.

Looking at the reviews about service and waiting times. Absolutely true. The food was good but nothing worth waiting one hour and 20 minutes. So if you want to go there just make sure you are prepared that someone takes your order and never comes back to check on you. The apologies about the wait time was basically why are you complaining feel lucky that you got served. One thing is certain for our family visiting for the first time from out of town, we are definitely not going back to this place ever again.

Great location, beautiful view of the water and the sound of the wave is amazing. Food was not that good. We had the Fried rice, the chicken soup and chicken tenders.

I like this restaurant just because The ocean view 🌊😍The food and drinks are good and affordable…it’s hard to find a parking at the restaurant but is parking at the street… the Service is not good because no one welcome you … took me 5 min or more to get a table and they took 15 min plus to take your order plus 30-35 to bring it…si eres amante del picante 🌶️ el mejor picante lo tienen ellos 🥵 🌶️ 🔥

The food is presented in unique ways. Some of the food - the mofongo for instance was a bit dry, the chicharon de cerdo was also dry. The fresh fruit juices are super yummy. I ordered two of the passion fruit. The location on the water (Él Malecon) is wonderful— especially sitting right above the water. I liked it so much I returned the next day with my whole family. We enjoyed the complimentary Sancocho in tiny bowls- tasty!

More of a chill beachside restaurant vibe. They a QR menu which translates to English for tourists. Enjoyed the creole seafood rice stew, especially with their homemade hot sauce. Took a long time to get the attention of the service team so be warned.

The service is great depending on who you get. I want to give credit to the trip waiter/waitress that attended to my party, Ester and Manuel. They were great and I'd love to have them again. The atmosphere is beautiful, but the food is hit or miss. The drinks were good especially the natural juices. I will say I also tried a burger and the presentation of food is great but the bread wasn't to my liking. The taste of the meat in the burger was great, so I only ended up eating that part. It's worth a visit, even just to view the sea and observe the sunset with good drinks and listen to the peaceful sounds of the ocean.

The food was pretty good overall. The location next to the ocean makes for a nice backdrop.
