Resaca Bar Restaurant

Nice place. Recommended by our guide and with reasonable reviews. We got seated in the rooftop with nice view of the river and the park. Lots of people. Our servers were somewhat pushy and only wanted us to order what they recommended. We opted for the classical rive crabs of Guayaquil. The food was good but the crabs were somewhat dry. The main problem came with the tips. Ecuador adds 10% tip to all bills. The servers said that this was the "law" charge and not the tip (this is in addition to the tax or IVA) and demanded more tips. That was somewhat disgusting. So be aware!!!!

This Restaurant is directly located at the river. It promises good seafood and nice views. We were sitting upstairs with a view on the river, which was nice, however, there was smell of faeces in the air, which was not very appetizing. There were a lot of dishes with crabs on the menu, but they had no crabs. We finally went for a seafood mix for two and a Paella for two. Both dishes were ok, but we had already much better food. The Octopus was like a chewing gum, the portions are very large though. The service is very friendly and helpful, though. All in all very high prices for considerably low quality food.

Amazing seafood restaurant at the malecon! Friendliness, quality and quantity of food, as well as serving speed is very good. Payment with credit card is possible and the views out at the malecon are very nice 👍

Best service in town by far. We were here twice and both times had an excellent server. Food was great too. Try the paella 😋

Service is slow for price, over and hour for food, we were told 25 minutes. Drinks were slow too. Bill automatically adds 10% tip. Waiter asked for more! Bill over $70 with drinks, cerviche and quesadilla.

It's one of the best Malecon restaurants with tasty food and great service. They even had some pink beer from Poland.

The food was delicious and the service was great. They have drink specials at happy hour (otherwise bring your wallet!).

We didn’t actually eat here, but it was a nice place to have a beer and a glass of wine. They provided a bowl of plantain chips which was very good. We enjoyed watching the shore birds through the window and the staff was very nice
