    Small portions but the food tastes great. The restaurant itself is not that close to the beach but they have a couple of tables on the sand and sun beds with umbrellas close to the water. The shrimp dish was soooo delicious, just the perfect amount of spices. The brownie with ice cream was also great. I gave 4 stars just for the small size of the dishes.

    Fresh food. Beautiful view and atmosphere. Great drinks. Staff was very friendly. The food was really flavorful. Definitely coming back soon. Steak was very very good. Cocoloco was my favorite cocktail drink

    With breathtaking views right on the ocean, this restaurant was recommended by locals and it did not disappoint. We started with a picture of white sangria which was overflowing with fruit and absolutely full of flavor. Robin had Cajun shrimp with white rice and a salad. I had been craving authentic paella since we booked this trip and I was not disappointed. Appropriately served and the skillet, this meal was absolutely overloaded with seafood: shrimp, lobster, conch, squid, octopus and a few other things I can't quite identify but I assure you were delicious! In all honesty, I have never had shrimp and octopus cook so flawlessly in my life. They were cooked to absolute tender perfection! I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone.

    This place couldn't call restaurant. It was so nice that I got reserve via internet. Only that was good thing there. Generally service was regular , not so bad and not great. All orders came well except seafood plate for two persons. They have some trouble with timming of cocktail. Margarita has came in 10 minutes. Also we were so disappointed after receiving bill. During all time we order Don Julio Blanca , and than realize we were drinking some cheap tequila. Nobody tell us they have no Don Julio. Even never renewal ashtray. No napkins on table, no glasses for bottle of water. I would say if they cut prices three times less it could be nice place. But not right now. If you don't mind welcome this place. But my suggestion stay away.

    The food and drinks were very good, but the service was slow and disappointing. My boyfriend made a reservation in advance for my birthday celebration, and asked to bring a cake with a candle after our meal. At first, we waited for 40 minutes after having finished our meals, then they brought a piece of cake just with a “hbd “ written on the plate. No congratulations from the staff or the candle on the cake. The host later said they ran out of candles. But it was discussed days in advance, how could you not plan this? You can buy those things in any store. The overall experience was good, but service always impacts the desire to come back. So we won’t be back unfortunately.

    I went here to celebrate my friends wedding and absolutely loved it. Beautiful venue, staff was attentive and so helpful, great food. The getting ready room for the brides was also great. Would recommend!

    Beautiful place on the beach. We had great meals here, fish and lobster. Service was average, not great, same for most of the Dominican. Way way too pricey. Our dinner, no wine just sangria came to $250 US for two persons. This is definitely one of the top restaurants here but be prepared to pay for it.

    The food and atmosphere were excellent. Our server Hector was wonderful. We had my friends birthday dinner there. On our night we had a singing duo that played guitars and sang while you eat dinner. It also is a party/wedding venue and it’s right on the beach. I will say come ready to open your wallet a little bit.

    Lovely restaurant with an amazing view on the ocean. The stuff was very polite. We had a seafood grill mix and it was very good! But it was too big only for 2 people, we didnt finish it. So I would recommend you to get this for at least 4 people.😊 The price is a bit higher but it was a very nice experience.

    Perfect atmosphere and very good food. Sure not cheap but also not expensive. Absolutely worth the money. The view is stunning. The service is great and I recommend the Chica Beeper. It‘s sweet though. We went there twice and were never disappointed. Getting there might be a bit confusing at first since you have to follow a narrow road down the beach but it‘s not difficult at all. There is parking right in front of it. A detail I personally loved… AC in the toilet 😄

    The restaurant is visually stunning and someone was actually setting up a “WILL YOU MARRY ME?” sign in the sand when I visited. Really beautiful location with a great view of the beach. The food was okay but my favorite was the pasta. 10/10! The flavor was delicious and it was really filling. Also the garlic sauce that came with the fish fillet was excellent! I recommend the mojitos too!

    Our wedding at jellyfish was truly a dream come true. The moment we came across Jellyfish Restaurant we knew that’s the place that would host the best day of our lives. The incredible beach, the amazing food, the overall aesthetics of the restaurant was breathtaking! All of our guests enjoyed every moment, thank you Jellyfish for fulfilling every detail we requested. Couldn’t be any happier and I look forward to going back! Thank you for being incredible hosts for our dreamy wedding!

    We just had our wedding at Jellyfish and it was amazing. Farrah and Giana are pros at what they do and they have it down to a science. Everything ran so smooth because they knew exactly how to direct everyone. The decorations were beautiful and the food delicious. Every time my drink was close to empty someone was there handing me a new one. It pouredddd down rain all night and they were so accommodating moving all the tables and creating a cute dance floor indoors. Then when the rain stopped with one hour of the reception they opened up the outdoor dance floor. I highly recommend getting married here!

    Amazing experience! My husband asked them to arrange flowers and cake for my birthday 🎉 Elisa did a great job doing that! The waitress was super kind and the food the best - great lobster 🥰 100% recommended! Prices are fair too.

    Jellyfish is absolute must visit if you’re a seafood lover coming to Punta Cana. We’ve been 3 times and all the dishes we ate were absolutely top. Lobster, Mahi - Mahi and seafood grill platter (for two) was out of this world and a portion to feed 4 people. Must visit! ❤️

    Good food was good but not enough flavour. Everyone afraid to use spices in this country! Terrible service. Everyone should be fired. Ordered coconut shrimp and they gave me a shrimp cocktail. I thought my friend ordered it but when the other appetizers came and not my shrimp, they said I ordered the cocktail. I had two mixed drinks. No alcohol was in the first drink, thanks. Hostess and waiters watching their phones. Nobody here but can't get another drink unless I get up to ask for it. What a joke. ordered a steak medium and came to us rare. Had to send it back. Don't bother coming here. Many people want your business. Not this one. Great view 👌.

    We ordered the coconut shrimp and and other two appetizers they were nah, we didn’t like the lobster bisque, we order a caldo de mariscos and it was good, chicken Parmesan was good too the main dishes were delicious ! I was expecting a lot more for the price

  • 4/5 KELLY W. 4 months ago on Google
    We visited jellyfish restaurant for my husband birthday we taxi'd from jewel palm beach $25 each way. It was VERY windy so they had the ships down on the side but we didn't mind. The servers seemed to be elsewhere, thinking about something I supposed, not overly friendly but the food made up for all Fantastic food, great atmosphere. When we went on catamarane earlier in the week workers said this restaurant was out of business but we specifically were told to go so we found it! Highly recomended!

    Fresh red snapper. Cooked perfectly. If your salt conscious asked them to go easy on the salt. Fried crispy but soft and juicy inside. Absolutely the best red snapper you’ll ever have.

  • 5/5 Mario C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great seafood at a reasonable price. Their cocktails are also amazing. An amazing place to enjoy a cocoloco with some lobster looking at the sea. You can bring a swimming suit and enjoy the nice beach around as well, or even ask for the food ro be delivered directly at the beach. We spent 240€ for 4 people at lunch.

  • 5/5 Aramide A. 2 years ago on Google
    Once you get past the people trying to sell you things you don’t want and you arrive, I’m sure the meal will be delicious. We had the seafood platter with grilled lobster, shrimp, fish Octopus, etc grilled veggies. Good change from all inclusive food. Definitely perfect for a couple of hungry people or 3 not crazy hungry people. Don’t come if you’re a huge rush as it takes some time but not crazy you know island time. Enjoy!

    I love calm ocean view, delicious food and drinks, nice ambiental music, beautiful stuff and reasonable prices taking into account they are right on the beach. They have sun beds, sun tents, fresh water shower, and the toilets are always clean. My favorite drink there is mojito with passion fruit, highly recommended! Also, it’s one of the best venues for weddings, 15 años, marriage proposals, birthday parties and other important events. We love capturing photos and videos for our happy clients in this stunning place!

    We wanted to eat outside of our hotel and try a place people have put good reviews. We were a group of 10 people and they had plenty of outside tables for us. You could hear the ocean in the background but could not see because it was already night. They sure have a way of making you feel at home. The staff is very attentive and they had a wide variety of food on the menu. We ordered some soups, salads, and our meals and it was quite good. The shrimp cocktail was ok for me because the shrimps were warm and I was not a fan. Maybe somebody will like. My buddy also was not a fan. We still ate the whole thing. I had the Mahi Mahi which had some good flavor to it. Somebody ordered the Steak and Lobster and the lobster was good, but I did not try the steak. He said it was good. All in all it was a good experience and hopefully one day return during the day to see the ocean!

  • 4/5 Kaira G. 1 year ago on Google
    I went at night, and the road was extremely dark, any single lamp or street lights around, until you’re just arriving to the restaurant. Place was really beautiful, inside and outside, service was acceptable, and if you’re local this restaurant can be expensive, otherwise it can be affordable, menu is priced in American dollar. My favorite spot was in front of the beach, nice view and feels peaceful.

  • 5/5 Merr H. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely loved this restaurant so we kept coming back for more!! Beautiful atmosphere and great food. Highly recommend the tuna tartare and the lobster was amazing. Servers were very kind and Miami vice was a great drink choice.

  • 5/5 Martin Denis A. 2 years ago on Google
    Can't say enough about this incredible restaurant. Well managed and chill. You have to visit it to experience the whole thing. The setting makes the mood and the mood makes the food stand out. The afterglow is amazing as well. It's not too often I leave a restaurant feeling so perfect for days afterward.

  • 5/5 YaN V. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend this beautiful place and definitely making this one as one of my favorite places in Punta Cana from now on. I had a wonderful time at Jellyfish restaurant and beach with my mom and my babies. The experience was over the top! The specialty of the house is seafood and the food is delicious 😋 this is without mentioning their excellent customer service and the beautiful setup they offer to customers. I had the chance to speak to two of their employees and they talked so highly about the restaurant and their employers and that gesture really meant a lot to me. I like when business owners treat their employees so well that employees feel lucky to be part of their team work. May God continues the blessings and keep up the goog job! 😉😍

    Such a good experience! All the food, from appetizers to drinks to the giant seafood platter, was delicious. The view from the deck was gorgeous and really wrapped up our visit.

  • 4/5 Tino S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice view. A bit expensive. Drinks are good.

  • 5/5 Rich V. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was delicious. Service was solid. Not a ton of pushy upselling like most places. It was easy to relax and enjoy time with family. Would recommend, but be prepared $$$$. (Missed a few apps and wine)

  • 1/5 Dimitris N. 2 years ago on Google
    I had high expectations, but unfortunately they fell really short. The chicken pasta was below average, it was super creamy and at the same time flavourless. My mojito was not good either. I could chew the sugar, really bad. For the prices on the menu, very bad…

    Just came home From my amazing wedding at Jellyfish Restaurant. When we saw a wedding at Jellyfish for the first time years ago we knew we wanted to one day get married there in paradise. Not only do they have amazing seafood! But the staff really went above and beyond to make my vision a reality. The decorative genius of Gianna for bringing my dreams to life it’s like she was inside my head. Every guest was impressed by how beautiful the restaurant looked. The table scape was impeccable. They incorporated all the personalized pieces I brought as well into the decor. Janelkys was so kind, and after emailing for the entire year we hugged in person! We just clicked. My son even peed through his pants on the wedding day and the staff at Jellyfish washed and dried them so he could be dressed for the photos. They even pushed him in his carriage for him to fall asleep when everyone was needed for pictures. Honestly that was 10 star service. Have your event at Jellyfish if you can- they went above & beyond. The music was on point they listened to everything instruction I wrote. The MC was so good- the DJ was on fire. Just the most incredible wedding experience all of my Guests were incredibly impressed and they told me as Much.

    Really good seafood. Great area to lounge. You can use their beach area for consumption at the restaurant.

😠 This place has been around for a while. I would know because I have been coming since I was a child. However, the quality of the food has gone way down.
