4.5 / 5.0(4,416 reviews)
We had lunch here and it's a beautiful location! Right there on the plaza in a row of restaurants, it offers a nice view of the people coming and going if you're seated outside. Inside it's cool and air conditioned. With the staff wearing pirate gear it's kind of cute and I think the decor reflects the theme. We had drinks, crispy apples and croquettes as appetizers which were all very good. For the main course it was steak and the goat cheese salad, the coconut curry shrimp, the mushroom risotto, and the mahi mahi. They were all good, though the sauce for the mahi mahi didn't have much flavor. It was a nice dining experience. Parking around the corner at the parking garage is about 100 pesos. Excellent service, friendly staff. Delicious food & drinks. We will be back! I love this restaurant in Santo Domingo! The food, the vibe, and the location are all amazing. That Bandeja Imperial appetizer was killer, with that awesome mix of fish and crispy octopus ceviche. We also had the Res Bourgiugnon and the Shrimp Curry, and they were both fantastic. So flavorful and well-balanced.

The restaurant has a lovely and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing evening. However, the food and presentation were disappointing. We waited forever for our meals, and when they finally arrived, the carbonara was a disaster—made with cream and mushrooms, which completely ruined the dish. Sadly, the overall experience didn’t live up to the ambiance.

Food was mid at best, my onion soup had twigs in it and they left the bay leaf in. The cheese was melted but not caramelized. The drinks were not bad but 16$ for a margarita was too much. Too pricey for the quality of the food and the portions were minuscule. We ate here because of the fact n laws wanted but as soon as I saw the themed staff uniform I knew we were getting fleeced. The staff was not attentive, he laughed at the request to withhold cheese from a dish because one of our family members is vegan. Just avoid this tourist trap.
