Frommer's Review
This laid-back joint grew out of a dumpy building in Isabel Segunda. Today it's a charming little eatery, created by Ricardo Betancourt, a photographer turned restaurateur, and his wife, Monica, born in Bombay. There are now three separate areas to eat, a charming dining room, lounge, or rooftop terrace. The kitchen turns out a terrific medley of international dishes, with Italian and Caribbean flavors. It's good and healthy. The appetizers are freshly made concoctions, based on the best shopping on any given day. We like to arrive here with a party, order several appetizers, and share the goodies. The fresh fish and well-flavored meats round out the main dishes. Ask what is good on any given day; the staff gives good advice. Depending on road conditions, allow 15 to 20 minutes when driving from Esperanza.

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.
