The pan seared red snapper was fabulous! Indoor was rather loud with a large party beside us but otherwise the whole experience was top notch and the price was surprisingly reasonable. Definitely recommend a stop here if you’re in the area.

Views are outstanding. Ordered the queen snapper whole(cartucho) and it was on the dry side. Flavor good but too dry. I'll have a red snapper instead - smaller and might be easier to cook to keep moist.

A must if you're in Puerto Rico, you have to stop by this amazing restaurant. The food is absolutely amazing. The view of the island is fantastic. I definitely recommend this restaurant. I can't express how beautiful the views are. The food tastes delicious, and it's traditional Puerto Rican food 😋. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Great food and great service. I got the Cartucho (queen snapper) whole fish and fried. Super cool views of the boats n ocean as well!

As expected! Worth the drive and wait to enjoy a great seafood platter! You cannot go wrong with the fish chicharrones, tostones rellenos de langosta, the mofongo relleno, and the fish muslitos . All main dishes can be accompanied with your favorite side dish -but the maduro mofongo is a must try. Best to arrive mid afternoon to avoid crowds and long wait. Parking on premises. All tables have a great view to the bay. AC dining areas for your comfort. You will not be disappointed: for the seafood lover in you!!!

Super excellent place,staff and dinner

Friendly staff. Although it was full, service was fast. The location is a 2-story house with beautiful views. In a way, the second floor is inconvenient for those on wheelchair or with difficulties going up the stairs. The appetizers were great. In general, the food was seasoned right. However, my lobster and fish were overcooked, and it was disappointing. The restaurant was recommended as better than other restaurants nearby, but at least on that day it was not.
