Frommer's Review

This is one of the few restaurants within Altos de Chavón that's not owned and operated by Casa de Campo. Within a two-story stone Tuscan-style building whose windows open onto a spectacular view over the Chavón river's chasm, you can try Mediterranean dishes such as seafood soup studded with lobster and shrimp; eggplant filled with goat cheese, pine nuts, and prosciutto; and black Angus filet with wine sauce and truffles.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
