    The venue is very cute, the view on the ocean is spectacular. The staff was super friendly this day. The food was really good and arrived extremely fast. I had Mofongo (So delicious) and Sancocho (very good)! The only pros was the dessert.

    Great place for Dominican food. The mofongo is awesome. I am from the United States some of the server speak English however they are not fluent in it so please use a translator it will make it much easier on everyone. The one thing I have to say about the service is it is very slow and that's just about everywhere throughout the Dominican Republic I have found. The people are very friendly and they will work with you. I suggest the Adrian's choice which is a sampling of a little bit of the good meats.

    The views during the day or at night are picturesque. The atmosphere is lively & at sometimes a bit loud. Especially when a birthday gathering is close. Nothing wrong with that either. Who can't enjoy others celebrating their special day. Highly recommend a visit. Oh! Did I forgot mention the food was some of the best I ate while visiting Santo Domingo?

    This is a lovely restaurant with great views of the sea. The food is pretty tasty, even though it can be hit or miss at times. Unfortunately, the service is horrible. The waiting staff has no sense of urgency and work at their leisure rather than to take care of the customers. We went at a time when it was raining outside, so their outdoor seating was closed, which implies they had double the staff to take care of customers inside. Still in our section there was only one waitress taking orders while the rest were congregating doing nothing. It make the restaurant very unattractive.

    The only thing I liked was the view to the sea. We were a party of 7, 3 adults and 4 kids and a baby, on Sunday lunch! The AC wasn’t working properly, which made very uncomfortable to be inside, and it was hot and humid. The food was horrible, fried fish stick were dripping oil and the monfongo was oily and the sea rice tasted too much like herring over all taste! Since I couldn’t nearly finish my sea rice I tried the chicken breast and it was soapy like, so weird! Even the ketchup tasted like consumption date was due! The service was prompt which was great since it was full and we were with kids and hot! But definitely DOES NOT represent Dominican Food at all!

    The food is AMAZING. Do not let the fact that there are multiple locations make you go somewhere else. This restaurant was great and has great views! There’s both indoor and outdoor seating in case the weather is bad.

    Everyone we met from DR said to come here for dominican food. Unfortunately, we were not a fan. They didn't have a paper menu so since we didn't have internet they had to bring their sign from in front of the restaurant over to our table. Great view and the smoothie was delicious, but the food was not. Greasy and dense, but maybe that is dominican food?

    Just landed in DR- checked into my hotel and left for a walk. Wanted food by the ocean and this place delivers. MARIEL was my server and she was wonderful. SHRIMP MONGO ARROZ CON POLLO SANGRÍA ( red was soso- white more flavor) and now waiting for the tres leche. Beautiful ocean view. Mixed crowd ( families, tourists, locals, couples on a date) at 1930 on a Thursday- there’s a line to be seated !

    This place was recommended to me. I ordered a regular Mofongo, shrimp Mofongo, croquetas , fish balls, pescado Boca Chica and rice and beans. The regular monfongo was the best of all of them. I was not impressed by the fish, it did not delivered to the expectations. I think the prices are high for the standard of the food. The bottom line is this place have comida criolla with a hefty price.

    I haven’t been to this place in years. Service was impeccable by Orquídea who always came to our table with a big smile and whiling to help. We were there to have Mofongo which was very good and a decent portion. Restaurant is very famous yet food came out fast. We appreciated the little soup they bring when you sat. I recommend this place when it comes to Dominican food. Their menu isn’t huge but has everything from the Dominican culture.

    True Dominican food Spot. The food was super fresh. The service was incredible and Their Coffee its a must try. I will definitely visit them again. They have parking on site with security guards. The views are definitely stunning. We only went for breakfast. Prices are average and they do accept cards as well as cash.

    Came here about 3 weeks ago with my girl and her cousin and friends. The food? Sensational. El presidente? Rico! Vibes? Super chill and accommodating. Next to the ocean breeze. No rush service. Try allowed us to switch tables because the sun was making us hot. Overall, nice experience and I’d do it again.

    The food here was great and they had many wonderful options to choose from. The service was also efficient and the staff was friendly and well trained. Also the price was fair on most dishes.

    Lovely meal. They were packed, and we didn’t understand our waitress due to language barriers—but the food was all very good and we were entertained by watching people. Outside seating would have been better, but we weren’t waiting for it. The drinks were fantastic, and the kids loved their more American meals. My kids thought the matching bonnets and aprons the servers wore were really fun. I thought the ladies looked hot.

    Food was average, service super slow. The view is awesome, so I recommend coming here for a drink at sunset instead of coming for dinner. If you really need to eat, I recommend the seafood medley. The shrimp mofongo was very weird.

    Great restaurant! The food was delicious! There was a small wait but we expected it because there were a lot of people. This is the first place I ate in the DR and I am impressed!

    This is a really great family atmosphere for anyone who visits the Dominican Republic. The breeze from the ocean, along with the waves crashing, definitely set a mood that can only be experienced from that restaurant. The food is excellent, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of food.

    This is a very popular restaurant which I found to be mediocre at best. It is located right on the beach front, and the views are very nice as long as you look at the horizon and not down at the beach. The beach in this area is filled with trash, and really takes away from the dining experience. Service was relatively slow, which appears to be the theme in this area. The food was alright, but nothing special. I had a Dorada a la Plancha (fish) with Patacones, and the fish was tasty but the patacones were bland. We had Mofongo with Camarones, and again it was bland and not very good “according to my local companion.” We ordered some deserts, Tres Leches Cake and Coco Asado, and they were not homemade. On the other hand the beer was cold, which is the most notable thing I can say about this restaurant. The price was on the high side, not equitable with the food or the service. I would not recommend this place. You can find much better and more reasonably priced.

    Very good restaurant. You must try any of the natural smoothies . The fish Boca Chica is really good. I like the area and view of the Malecón. The empanadas de Yuca really fresh and good quality.

    The food was decent, though I couldn't quite grasp the widespread excitement—perhaps it's all about the ocean view. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with two small, yet flavor-packed sancochos—truly delightful. The mofongo was commendable, though the meat was a bit tougher than I prefer. My main issue, however, was the overwhelming heat inside. Despite having air conditioning units, they seemed ineffective. The heat significantly impacted my overall experience. Had it been cooler, I might have lingered longer to sample more dishes. On the plus side, the service was attentive, and the view was breathtaking. Still, it's hard to overlook the discomfort from the heat.

    Incredible flavors with every dish, had the Sabrococho, and Asopao de Pollo, other members had the fish with coconut sauce. Amazing views, are the the icing on top of this fabulous restaurant. Also try the ceviche, amazing!!!

    Everything here was delicious and affordable, the service was really friendly and attentive, and of course there's the great scenery. Just a perfect experience. All in all, an excellent spot for a relaxed dining experience with local cuisine.

    Lovely place to celebrate, relax, and listen to the ocean waves 🌊. Was only planning on drinks, but happy to find they had a couple Vegan options.

  • 5/5 S. K. H. 2 years ago on Google
    This is easily a restaurant with one of the best views of the water in the world. This is a restaurant that I have been to 100s of times and each time, it feels new to me. The service is great as always. A true classic place in the capital of the Dominican Republic.

  • 4/5 douglas d. 2 years ago on Google
    Mofungo was amazing! Nice ocean side dinning or dine inside if you like but why? Mango Margarita thick with fresh purred mango.

  • 3/5 Carlos Javier F. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a great place for drinks and food, nice service. One thing is sure; the waiters don't have wine knowledge. I hope in the future they could be wine experts.

    Great atmosphere and great food. Service is awesome and always a good time. This location, right off the ocean is the perfect end to any day.

  • 5/5 Alfonso A. 9 months ago on Google
    I went to eat out and celebrate another year, good experience, food is good, the atmosphere is pretty good, if you go a around 5PM as I did you'd be able to see the sun going down. I ordered a mofongo with some mixed tropical juice.

  • 5/5 Oi Lin �. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing location, excellent food and great service. Be prepared to wait inline but so worth it! So cute, they start you with complementary little Sancocho. We ordered Chiviche. Fried Snapper and Snapper in Coconut Sauce with Tostones and Grilled Vegetables.

  • 3/5 東海禅 1 year ago on Google
    I ate seafood spaghetti and it was ok but not wow. The Pasion Caribeña juice was excellent as always. I recommend this juice to everyone who come to this restaurant. However the service of today wasn’t that good. I don’t know if it because I came alone in a day which is a holiday that is crowded. Wasn’t happy at all with their service. Another point that I would like to their staff to really improve is that they must took away those guys who charges you RD$200.00 for parking your car outside. It just wants to makes you to leave right away you just arrive. Very annoying.

  • 5/5 Léo N. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants in Santo Domingo with typical and local dishes to serve. Right on the coastline with indoor and outdoor seating. Very convenient location close to downtown. I extremely recommend mofongo; delicious smashed plantain mixed with chicharrón (crisp and crusty pork) and garlic.

  • 5/5 ashley c. 7 years ago on Google
    The place is so peaceful, it's beautiful right next to sea. The food is delicious, and customer service was good.

  • 5/5 Lorena P. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice, relaxing peaceful place. I went there on a Tuesday afternoon and it wasn’t too crowded. I enjoyed the food and service was good too.

  • 4/5 Mike L. 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered Asopao de pollo, tostones, and ceviche caribeño. I liked the Asopao, but not the ceviche. Nevertheless, this place was good, with nice view of the sea. Highly recommended!
