    Absolutely loved this place. We had a pizza and lamb chops plus a tuna ceviche starter. All lovely. Desserts were wonderful as well. Our service was top-notch

    excelente servicio al cliente y una atencion focalizada en hacer sentir al comensal comodo. pedi algun tipo de liquido para limpiarme las manos despues de consumkr pescado y me prepararon una infusion tibia de limon que fue perfecta junto con un pañito. este tipo de detalles los hacen destacar en el servicio al cliente lo cual para mi es un ingrediente mas y muy importante al salir a comer

    The restaurant’s setting is stunning - by the pool with glimpses of the ocean. Delightful. The service is courteous, comfortable. No stuffiness here. The menu has many choices. We both had wood fired pizza!! Delicious!! We highly recommend and would go back.

    Fui a cenar para celebrar mi cumpleaños. La atención al detalle y servicio estuvo excelente, la comida muy rica y en general la experiencia fue muy positiva. Al final de la cena incluyeron un postre de cortesía para celebrarme.

    Of the 3 venues at the Marriott Mangroove Resort, this is by far my favorite. Menu is diverse enough and the service is the best here. Our waiter Sandro was amazing; he was on point the whole time. Very attentive, took the time to answer questions made sure waters were filled, etc. We ordered the Caprese Salad and a couple pizzas. Sandro came out with bread and small servings of gazpacho appetizers…..delicious and a nice touch. The salad was amazing and the pizzas were excellent. I loved the wood serving boards they came on! Timing of everything was perfect! I enjoy seeing the exhibition kitchen and open fire pizza oven. We dined here twice during our stay and both time’s were great.

    The squid salad was very good. We also had the lamb chops and the Paella. We enjoyed the food, the great service and the ambiance.

    Food was good but service odd. The appetizer was supposed to come with 6 cold shrimps and there was only 5. I asked the waiter for the missing shrimp. In fact I asked a couple times, thinking the waiter may not have understood me because his English wasn't quite fluent. But he assured he understood. What should have only taken a couple minutes grab that 1 shrimp was about 15min. It ended coming out with our main course.
