4.7 / 5.0(97 reviews)
I’m still here, waiting for my dessert — but I couldn’t wait any longer to write this amazing review! This restaurant is everything you’re hoping for and more. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service is outstanding, and the food… absolutely incredible. It’s not your typical meal — it’s a fusion of flavors that truly surprised me in the best way possible. Every dish is crafted with creativity and care. I 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Punta Cana. A big shoutout to the amazing servers — your attention and kindness made the experience even better. This will definitely be my go-to spot whenever I’m back in town. See you soon! I went to to the restaurant for a meal and had a very good experience. The service was quick and friendly, with staff being attentive without overdoing it. The food was really good and nicely presented, the risotto was my favorite. The place is cozy, with good background music and good atmosphere, perfect for a interesting performed local dinner. I’d definitely go back. Loved the vibe in this restaurant really classy compared to all the ones in the area since it’s located downtown next to all the night life. We had a lovely experience our waiter was really nice and attentive. I tried the risotto but wasn’t to my expectations the drinks were good though.
