We started not to go in this restaurant because the review in Fodors sounded like it was too formal for the clothes we were wearing. It is a beautiful restaurant, with outstanding water views, but not formal at all. We had wonderful fresh seafood and salad. When I asked for some salsa picante, the waitor brought us this unique homemade... More

The restaurant has changed providing a more casual menu and it works for the casual life style and choices on Bocas Island. Sports fans can enjoy a nice lounge, escaping the typical bar scene for special sports events. You will enjoy the view! More

During our stay in Bocas we ate here twice and had the Red Snapper both times. It was amazing. Probably the nicest restaurant that we ate at during our stay. Don't miss it. More

I hate to write a bad review, but our pasta with chicken was so bad we couldn't eat it! My brother's pasta with vegetables was even worse. service took forever, so maybe the "cook" was a substitute? There was a large group at another table and we heard the tour group leader complaining about the food (inedible)and the long delay... More

We ate here for lunch and both ordered fish. It was dry and was seriously lacking a fresh taste. This was such a let down as I had heard such good things about this restaurant. The service was excellent and the location is great... but the food needs some work... More

We were in Bocas for 11 days. This was the first and last place we ate at. The view, cool breezes and classiness of the place really stand out. The food is good, not spectular. Burgers are big (we had fish, shrimp, veggie) but you get a cold dry bun (does have mayo) which would be great if lightly toasted. More

Large, open space, facing the sea. The lady manager (American, I think) there is passionate about making this place happen and offers personal attention to customers. More

The inside is tastefully well appointed. The waiter knew the menu and the specials and was propmpt without being intrusive. My meal was a... More

While we enjoyed the main courses, the sides and service could use some work. The location was beautiful and the restaurant was clean and upper causual, the staff was not very helpful and we felt rushed. More

9 degrees was highly recommended so we decided to eat there on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, a "special" menu was served that night and the choices were limited to either ham or turkey. It seems they were trying to serve a traditional Christmas dinner. Of course it is very difficult to met our expectations, and, no surprise the dinner was the... More
