    It was incredible!! The ambience at the top of a mountain above the tree tops 😍 made it an incredible experience. The food was delicious. You will not be disappointed.

    Honestly, this place is overrated. We came here after hearing rave reviews from locals but got disappointed. The place is mediocre to say the least. The service (slow, very slow), the food (pretty bad), even the views could not beat the views from our Airbnb. Not worth it

  • 4/5 Alex V. 1 year ago on Google
    Been going to this place for about 20 years, back to when it was a small shack. The BBQ ribs are still the best thing on the menu. The view is absolutely beautiful and really adds to the experience. Service however, is really lacking and in need of some serious training. On our most recent visit, we ordered a bottle of wine that never came despite repeated reminders to our waiters.

    This is a great restaurant with good vibes, amazing dominican BBQ, cooked in the mountains of Jarabacoa. The views are amazing. I recommend getting the ribs for sure! You can definitely taste the smoked wood on the meat. Excellent! FYI service in Dominican Republic is usually not as great as in the US. Keep that in mind. Still an overall great experience.

    Fantastic experience in absolutely every regard. The food is exquisite, quickly served, waiters are on top of things. They have well equipped carts with on demand to-go boxes. Top it all off with a spectacular valley view. My favorite restaurant in the Dominican Republic!

    The ribs are super dried and are served without any extra sauce. Also cold. The place is really nice but they're famous for the ribs 🤷🏽‍♂️

  • 2/5 Jose B. 1 year ago on Google
    We kept asking our waiter for food they never ended up bringing to us. The food was dry. Potato salad tasted old. The place looked amazing and was well kept. Unfortunately, food and service weren't in par with that.

    Need to do a better job with their service. I had to ask multiple times for drinks. My food was burnt (churrasco and costillas Angus). Our food came late (other people will never come back and recommend those who will go to stay on top of their server. I think they can do way better and sincerely hope they do. If I am spending $135 for 4 people, I expect a good service.

    This road stop has delicious food and an unbeatable view of the mountains. Service was fast, their portion sizes are just right.

  • 4/5 Jason R. 6 months ago on Google
    This review would be based on our group experience. The location and food are great, a delicious Dominican BBQ at its best, the location is also great with a beautiful view. However, when it comes to customer service, management needs close attention. Our server Jordy If I am not mistaken, was lost when it came to the menu, never came to check on our table and completely forgot about our Drinks. Customer service is key for a business to survive after a bit of fame.

    Pretty nice restaurant. It is split in different sections (we sat in a smaller section on the first floor). Place was very busy and parking lot was pretty cramped. Food was good (had ribs and sausage). Prices were ok, about 120$ for 4 people.

  • 5/5 Jeidy C. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolute beauty! The view is amazing, the food is great, the service was great. Make sure to try their famous BBQ Ribs!

  • 5/5 nibelis g. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food and drinks but only sells chicken, pork, and goat. Food isn't always hot so make sure it's not cold and if it is then ask them to heat it again

  • 3/5 Eddy P. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has changed a lot with time. They used to have one of the best ribs in the area. We went and ordered ribs and they were extra dry, not much meat on the bone. We also ordered some "chivo asado" it was 80% bone and the meat was burned not expected as this is one of their most expensive plates. El "chivo guisado" was good and the portion served was enough. The rice with beans was from previous days and you could tell from the different colors of the rice and the dryness it had. Everything together it was not worth the trip. At least we enjoyed the weather.

    Incredible ribs and gorgeous views of La Vega!

  • 5/5 Traveling with J. 1 year ago on Google
    SO GOOD! Definitely worth a visit for the food alone. The views are lovely, but the ribs are simply delicious. Now I see what all the positive reviews were about. The staff is lovely and helpful! They even allow you to take a look at how the food is cooked outdoors.

  • 5/5 Matthew P. 6 years ago on Google
    I came here with a group, so we were served buffet style. The meats (pork and chicken) were delicious, and the plantain was best that I had the entire week I was in the Dominican Republic. The beans and rice were great, but salad was pretty bland. Bar service was superb. Lastly, the view was beautiful. Definitely visit this place if you have a chance.

  • 5/5 Rock M. 2 years ago on Google
    We stopped here for the ribs and they were very very good. If you are in the area I would highly recommend you stop here for some good food.

  • 1/5 Tyler B. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was horrible. Asked for a child's seat 3 times while I was there. Never got one. I ended up just holding my child and eating. I had to ask several times for the food and kept having to ask over and over for anything we wanted. Just a bad experience. Will never go again.

  • 4/5 Jesus F. 4 years ago on Google
    It is a great place to stop by and stretch yourself from a long road. They are famous of making great ribs, but I would not make a long trip just to eat the ribs.

  • 5/5 Kya S. 4 years ago on Google
    Fresh Pork Smoked Ribs, add in platains or “moro” and you are in a Dominican Palate paradise! Always fresh, every time I return is better, in every aspect: service, quality, more options on the menu, and gets bigger and better decorations!

  • 1/5 Domingo R. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was reheated and served to us. I’m not going back there.

  • 5/5 mr m. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing find! The BBQ ribs and wood smoked chicken here are delicious! Make sure you get the tostonis, some of the best I've tasted in the DR! Oh and the caramel cheesecake is to die for!

  • 5/5 Jeffrey M. 2 years ago on Google
    We always come here when we go to Jarabacoa. I love the batata frita and the ribs. The view is amazing! Specially in the afternoon. I recommend you sit and eat it there on the 2nd floor. It’s beautiful at 6/7pm.
