An easy walk from our condo, we ate here twice. The food was excellent, the service very good, and the location perfect for sunset. Try the whole grilled snapper - you won't be sorry!

The seafood was kind of meh. The panfried calamari were ok, but nothing special. The price is almost an extorsion for what you get.

This was close to our condo on the beach so we were skeptical if it would be good, but it was beyond our expectations. Very fresh seafood. My husband loved the tuna sashimi and trio with lobster, steak, and shrimp, and I had the coconut...shrimp. It was all fantastic. Highly recommendMore

We could walk here from our condo and ended up going 4 times in 2 weeks.  The restaurant is beach front and open air.  The food is incredibly fresh and very well prepared.  Service is very good and accommodating.    One night we were there...a large group of about 15 people showed up.  We thought that would slow everything right down but they took it in their stride and never missed a beat.  Some of our favorite dishes were the tuna sashimi, garlic shrimp, caesar salad and stuffed fish with shrimp.More

Good location overlooking the beach! Grilled seafood plate , had nice spice but the mahi mahi lacked flavor, several of the calamari were a bit too tough to chew. The coconut shrimp with mango stars was outstanding! 2 large portioned lunch plates; plus 2 fruit...flavored drinks , with very little alcohol = $80 USDMore

This was a favorite place to have dinner and a lovely view of the beach especially at sunset. The menu offers a variety of seafood dishes - tuna, sea bass, snapper with different sauces - the Veracruz and the ginger sauces are both excellent. The...restaurant is open air, the service is good and friendly.More

The dining options for genuinely good food in Playa Hermosa are slim. We ate here a few times after being disappointed every time we tried other beach front dining options. Their seafood was unreal, so fresh and delicious. Their staff was kind and efficient. The...view seals the deal. Don’t miss this one.More

We ended up eating dinner there 3 of the 5 nights in Playa Hermosa! The meals were exceptional at fair pricing. The view from the deck watching the sunset while having dinner added to the experience. We even had a troop of howler monkeys go...by one of the evenings while we were enjoying dinner.More

We stayed 2 weeks in Playa Hermosa and went to many restaurants nearby. This one is by far the best. They are the only restaurant that knows how to prepare and cook steak. We had the trio of steak, lobster and shrimp. OMG it was...amazing. I didn't have a steak knife so I used a butter knife. Steak was so tender and juicy. The view of the beach and ocean is awesome specially at sunset. I would give 7 stars if I was allowed.More

The food was excellent: 5 stars. Unfortunately the flavour was ruined by a smell of sewage, most likely from a poorly functioning septic system.

Abigail T, I am not sure why you are punishing the restaurant for the behavior of a local who had nothing to do with the restaurant. Your review is the only negative one of this restaurant and you then go on to complain... More
