Great spot next to the beach with a lot of potential. Unfortunately, while our server was lovely, everything else was a train wreck. The place was not full or busy at all and there were lots of wait staff around. We ordered a few appetizers and eventually our main course. We waited... and waited... and waited. One and a half hours later, after our server checked on the order several times, our order came along with the appetizers. She knew we were very disappointed and was very apologetic, but acknowledged that she had no idea what the kitchen was doing. The verdict: the place has been open only 2 months and, while it's in a great location and the surroundings are beautiful, I don't expect them to stay open without ramping up their service and kitchen practices. I don't think I'll ever go out of my way to eat there again, which is sad because I really wanted to support a post-Maria local business.

Excellent day with family. We picked the place as it was one of the few opened on christmas eve. Nice surprise as the food was very good. All smoked and the apastelado rice had amarillo inside. The service is also good as well as the ambience. I will return again without a doubt.

More a Fonda than a Restaurant. Some people love it because the fish is very fresh and very tasty. They offer local specials. If you are picky in terms of ambiance, modern facilities, etc. this not your place. If your judgement is food taste go for it. You need a car in order to get there, but on the way to several local tourist atractions.

Beachside layback restaurant with a creole and asian style cuisine focused on fresh and local ingredients. Our Signature Fish Tacos are a must with our all natural passion fruit mojito.

They have the best food in town hands down. Their mojitos are to die for. Awesome beach front view, great music and awesome atmosphere.

We were a group of four and were driving around to see the beautiful sights on road # 681 when we saw this place. We have been at the one next door but wanted to try this one. Not disappointed at all. It was far beyond our expectations. Yaz, our waitress was very nice. Pilar, the manager as well. The place was packed with people and we got our lunch in a reasonable time. Food was delicious, especially the mofongo. The views are breathtaking. Looking forward to going back soon.

This restaurant opened about a year and a half ago in my hometown and tourists may benefit from finding it if they are visiting surrounding towns.

My husband and I decided to visit this restaurant after reading the reviews of customers in Trip Advisor. Unfortunately, our experience was very bad. The reasons were the following: 1. They did not have all the dishes of the menu. 2. They even did not have one of the complements my husband ask for. 3. There is poor illumination at the entrance. 4. Women's restroom did not have toilet paper. 5. Prices were high. 6. Food taste was fair. 7. Food amount in the dishes was poor.

We went there after we toured Cuevea Ventana where they advertise just as you leave the grounds. The restaurant did not disappoint. The seafood salad was amazing, so were the chickpeas escabeche. Mofonfo and pasta alfredo were awesome, too. Loved this place a lot.

We went to this restaurant highly recommended by some friends and reviews from TA. We waited longer than 2 hours for the food. When we finally asked for the food the owner came and told us that they were understaffed and had a long wait. Then proceeded to tell us that it was a small price to pay for freshly cooked food. She also referenced the menu saying they had a disclaimer that I should have read on their menu about their wait times. I wanted to leave at that point but didnât want to make the other friends feel bad since they had recommended this place. My husband asked for a shrimp soup and it was watery and tasteless . Never again! Think twice of going to this place unless you want to cultivate an appetite.THIS IS A COMPLETE LIE! You were a party of four that arrived to the restaurant last on Sunday. We were FULLY BOOKED and sat you at the last available table. We seat 125 people so your table was last to prepare, as we donât skip tables. As I passed to your table to see how your party was doing (as I do all our guests). You were upset and kept giving me snarky looks. I really donât know why. The 3 other guests in your party said they loved everything from the food to the ambiance to the service. The couple that invited you said they were from caguas and always visited our area and soon would come by again. Im sorry your a âdifficult personâ and glad everyone else enjoyed there visit.
