Review 1: Food… great! Service… great! Atmosphere… great, EXCEPT the music could be a tad lower, allowing for conversations, ordering food, etc. We ordered the $40 appetizer and the waiter never brought it cause he didn’t hear me. Lol. Nevertheless, highly recommend it!
Review 2: We stopped while driving and decided to try for a simple lunch after excursions and driving. Food was wonderful, mojito was amazing and so fresh!! We came as a family of 4 our two children under 10 were very happy with their food. The Mac and cheese for kids was amazing, I would order it for myself. Full of flavor! Amazing spot!
Review 3: Love this place, the best Tom Collins I ever tasted. I like their appetizers. Honestly, you can spend an entire Saturday afternoon listening to live music, drinking & eating. It’s one of my favorite stops on the PR 152 route.
Review 4: I have all good things to tell about this place. It was our anniversary, we spent the day at Toro Verde Adventure park and found this awesome place open near Hacienda Margarita (where we stayed). We didn’t know Spanish but the staffs did their best to make sure we are comfortable and happy. We asked for the best item they have. Whatever that stuffed chicken and bacon item they served, was so so so good. If you visit them, ask them for this item. I will add in the picture. 👌
Review 5: Incredible view, very nice people, great food!
