Reviewed By Gregory P

I enjoyed very much the intimate atmosphere of the restaurant. The cooking is excellent. They use a lot of garlic. If you are not a big fan of garlic as for them to use less. The fresh tostones are wonderful and the fish is excellent. I like the marlin and the dorado.

La Villa Dorada de Alberto

Reviewed By Traviata5013

I adore this restaurant! Great location, near the beach and funky outdoor bar with dance floor. Inside dining is more formal but very nice. If you’re addicted to AC dine inside. But if you want to be more relaxed eat outside to soak up the local culture. The red Snapper is excellent, fresh and served with tostones. Also had the octopus salad that was seasoned perfectly and very tender.

Went there on the final night of our stay. Were greeted by the owner who took the time to explain the menu. He had lobsters caught the same morning and we ordered them stuffed. Oh my God. They were two pound lobsters filed with every kind of seafood. Out of this world delicious. Sat through two Andrea Bocelli concerts but still could not finish the meal. Absolutely delicious.

Encanto Beach Club Bar & Grill - Dorado Beach a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Reviewed By jeff m

Tried this restaurant several times, 2 times for lunches and then hosted a 17 person celebration party here. Totally different menus lunch-dinner, both were equally impressive for what they were. A little pricey, but not overpriced, seafood for dinner- I had lobster risotto, some of my team had lobster tails and many had fishes. Good service, we got lucky as empty on a tuesday night. Lunch with my wife here was more casual and down to earth, yummy. Tried burger 1x, tried fish, tried salad--all very good. Service was good.

Katrina's Restaurant

Reviewed By TJ7334

We were in search of a waterfront restaurant in Dorado where we found this place through a google search. It ended up being across the street from the sea without much of a water view. The food and service were average. The best part was seeing a truck pulling into their unloading area filled with fresh plantains, which shed a good light on the restaurant and it’s use of fresh food. Would we go again? Maybe, just to give it a second chance.

La Terraza Restaurant

Reviewed By Jerry C

Decided to find truly authentic Caribbean restaurant while staying near San Juan after a cruise. Found La Terraza on my map app and was not disappointed. Food is reasonably priced, although a bit on the pricey side, especially for large parties. Loved the mofongo and crab cakes. Restaurant has upstairs balcony bar that serves appetizers.

We were recommended this place by a local but the one thing I wish I would’ve known was the dress code....we were sadly underdressed. In spite of the our server was great. Our meals were satisfactory-ask for direction. The pina coladas were super and inexpensive

Best experience in Dorado. Benny, the sommelier, knows his wines well. Milton the bar tender makes the best cocktails in the area. We eat here every time we are in town. Great lobster, steaks, fish, and experience. Love the painting and art also. Have bought 3 pieces. Strongly recommend!

Went to this place just on a whim, we were on our way to a different brunch place...Did not know if it was open, we were impressed. The place have only been open for about four weeks (they still are into the soft opening trend). If I wasn't told this, I would have guessed the place had been in business for a long time. EXCELLENT PLACE FOR A BRUNCH! The Morcilla Turnovers were to die for! We tried two variations of the EGGS BENEDICT (crab cakes and pork belly) both served with SOBAO BREAD instead of the bland English muffin, both were great. Experience was great, food was plentiful and very tasty. The place reminds me of café's in Seattle or New York. Let's sponsor local restauranteurs. Will recommend, will come back. EXCELLENT!THANK YOU! We are glad that your visit was great. We strive to provide our customers with the best experience possible.
