Customer Reviews
Made a last minute reservation for lunch and had the option to sit inside or outside - we chose to sit outside. It was lovely getting to be close to the water and hear the crashing of the waves. The interior was also really nice. We ordered the traditional ceviche, lobster, fried rice, and fresh juice. Everything was fresh and delicious.
Food was amazing, service was slow and it's definitely on the pricey side. Honestly for this $$$ I would hire at least one person who could speak English. I also noticed everyone around us got proper napkins, but we got paper napkins which flew away with the first breeze. The non alcoholic drink we ordered had a giant block of ice which was 2/3 of the glass!
Very slow and poor service. The food was just ok. We were told by locals that this place was great. We had a reservation and were sat. After seating, we waited for 20 mins with no server. We spoke to the manager and got a new table. We were seated at a new table and still waited 15 mins to see a server to place a drink order. Every step of dinner took way too long. We ordered food 60 mins after getting sat. They were also out of napkins. The manager was also rude and annoyed. Way too expensive for the product they are providing.
We got lucky as we didn't have a reservation and just showed up for lunch on a Sunday and got a table on the balcony facing the ocean (it was early and about a 1/2 hour later the place was packed). The seafood is definitely top notch. Highly recommend their ceviches (we tried 3). The fish and shellfish is fresh, nice selection of wines to pair their dishes and yummy warm fresh bread basked. We didn't try the deserts but they looked delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. And of course the location can't be beat (even on a rainy/foggy day, surfers are always out).
