We were headed to El Quenepo who happened to be closed that night, and stumbled across Orquideas. It was the best food we had all week.! Great service, great menu items, good ambience. The bartender is very friendly, will make you anything you want, and comes to your table to discuss options with you. We were disappointed by not making... More

we thought we would give this a shot because of the reviews. the service was terrible, and the location is disgusting. there was junk all over the place. it looked like they tooked a old crappy house and turned it into a old crappy resturant. the food was ok ,but way over priced. do yourself a favor and skip this...

Friendly, efficient waitstaff combined with a cute "island rustic" decor provide the setting for a wonderful evening. The food was innovative but simple, delicious and perfectly cooked. We sampled the caprese (best we have ever had), bruschetta (delicious fresh tomatoes), and fried feta (salt and savor balanced with arugula) to start. The ribeye and ahi tuna were expertly prepared to... More

This is a great addition to Esperanza. The chef, Nick, has a nice diverse menu and works well with diner requests. The service is also professional and engaging.

Servers were all very nice and we liked the atmosphere. To be fair we only had appetizers but the meals were between $20 and $30 at dinner for what seems like a tented location with a grill in the back. Our salad may have been local greens but they were very wirey. I would choose other places over this one... More

We ate at Orquideas in March of 2013 while on vacation with a family of five. We didn't know anything about Orquideas before we stopped by. It has a great atmosphere as the seating is on the large porch of an old house just off of the main boardwalk. The receptionist was very friendly and got us to our seat.... More

This place had good food, great portion size, great drinks, and overall good service. It's a nice little spot that's open-air, and it is slightly off the Malecon (that's good, due to the noise over there). We had their Churrasco steaks... we got these large 16 ounce steaks that were juicy and tasty. The mashed puree was good. I asked... More

in Esperanza.. just slightly off the beaten path, just enough removed form the party boyz and girlz.. great servers over our two visits in three nights, great music, fascinating appetizers, nice bar, everything really very good..

Lovely tropical ambiance with fine cuisine, relaxed yet flawless service, and the food to die for. We had a wonderful evening. The quality and, especially, the presentation of the food is worth noting.
