    Steak with rice and beans and mofongo with garlic sauce
    Mad R.

    THIS. PLACE. Wow. It was soooooooo good. My boyfriend and I favorite restaurant we ate it. Everything was absolutely delicious, the rice and beans were perfection. The tostones were phenomenal they were fresh and nice and salty. Our server was so nice and attentive. We went for the sunset and got good views, since you are on the water it isn't too hot. They have umbrellas as well so you can try and block the sun. I really recommend coming here. The food was delicious and you get nice views.

    Red Snapper with garlic sauce
    Sarina F.

    I've had seafood from a lot of places BUT this red snapper was the BEST I have ever had. The garlic sauce with it was literally chefs kisseveryone in our group tried something different so we could all try each others dishes. They were all amazing!! Not only was the food delicious but the service was incredible. Our waiter, a young man named Alex, was so friendly. He answered our questions and gave suggestions. He even explained how some of the foods are eaten together and what foods are really popular in Puerto Rico awesome young man! Waterfront restaurant and bar. And they have a great out door area for nightlife. I highly recommend checking out Bahia's. We'll make this one of our regular stops when we come back to the area!

    Chillo frito con rabo de langosta $60!!!! Thought it was $40...womp womp.

    Went here because De Jesus Restaurant was closed for some reason. First off, it was 12pm and the restaurant had no mint to make a mojito!!!! That's one of the most popular drinks on the island what the what!!! Secondly, the plates were tiny!!!! My fiancé ordered a churrasco with cilantro rice. The rice had absolutely no flavor and was such a small portion. He was so disappointed that he forgot to take a picture. I ordered the chillo frito with lobster tail. I thought it was $40 as I was browsing the menu. By the way, the menu is more expensive now than the picture you see in the other reviews. I forgot to take a pic of that. I forgot my fiancé also ordered sangrias which were FILLED with ice but at $6 each, he got 3. So worth it! We've been all around the island and have gotten way bigger fish than today for 80% or more of the price of $60!!!! How disappointing in that department. I also wanted an avocado and they had none although they make stuffed avocados as part of their menu!!!!!! 2 stars because the waitress was friendly. Also because the lobster was actually yummy in the white garlic sauce I requested. And the tostones were good as well.

    Mofongo dish was absolutely delicious and worth trying.

    Delicious food, great service and highly recommend this place. We will definitely come back for more, the mofongo with chicken was delicious.

    Great surprise find on the water. Wait staff was quick and attentive. Local food and beers as well.

    Loved the kind server and the food was delish! My husband had the salmon with capers and a cream sauce- the rice with veggies and meat was yummy too! Mostly though we loved the view from the outdoor deck even though there has been too much rain recently - and hurricane damage is still evident.

    Found this hidden gem off the beaten path while adventuring around Ponce. The views are beautiful as you are right on the water and atmosphere was so laid-back, this is perfect for our vacation! Everything was in tiptop shape and SO clean! Our bartender Brian who was also our server was extremely tentative and made brilliant cold drinks! Great variety of appetizers. We had the pulpo empanadas and boy were yummy! Great variety of music as well. I'm assuming this place gets popping after dark which we will for sure try on our next visit to Ponce, Puerto Rico. #baywatchbahiabeachclub #bahiasponce

It is very close to central square and Parque de Bombas, which is hard to miss. Look for the large V on the door. We visited on a Wednesday night and sat at the bar. Unfortunately, no live music on Wednesdays. The bar and the restaurant were not busy. We just saw one other couple dining. Service at the bar was fine. Note that the menu provided at the bar has no prices but the prices are listed on the menu online. All the drinks were reasonably priced- we have just had bad experiences at other places that do not list prices. We both had the Democracia drink with rum and banana purée. It was very good and just the sweet drink we were expecting as we had already had dinner at another establishment. So this was like a dessert cocktail. They also have a helpful diagram of drinks by sweet/ dry at the back of the menu. I found the low backed seats at the bar to be rather uncomfortable but appreciated that they had hooks under the bar for bags. The bathroom was very nice and clean but they had an ambiguous sign that roughly translates as "do not throw paper in the toilet". I hope they mean paper towels and not actual tp.

    We stopped at this bar hoping to listen to some jazz and sip on a cocktail. We sipped on a cocktail…read morebut live jazz is only available on Saturdays. We sat at the bar and asked for a menu and we were given a menu that had very nice cocktail pictures and descriptions but no prices. When we asked the bartender about the prices she appeared to have a problem with that, so we went online and found a menu with prices. We tried the Democracia cocktail which was fruity and sweet, a nice dessert cocktail after having dinner at Hacienda Muñoz.

The pizza is solid fresh thin crust - maybe a bit skimpy on toppings & too heavy on the cheese the vegetariano salad we had was challenging. I'm way into making them myself, so I'd recommend chopping the spinach fine, sauté a vegetable or 2 (onion- tomato?) and adding a fat like crumbly cheese, or avocado, or some nuts, etc to make it melt & come together better. The vinaigrette dressing was nice though. And for a place this stylish, it'd be nicer & classier to have a metal fork & real glass for drinks instead of plastic. Lots of potential! Open kitchen is a nice touch.

I came in with my dining adventure partner and she had the Sparkling water with Lime, I had Coke Zero who in the island mostly comes those tall 12oz Red Bull like cans. They had a good selection of appetizers but we skipped it as my Girlfriend isn't an huge fan of loads of cheese. I know the blasphemy right? But they had some vegetarian choices for those that by some reason though that a vacation in the pork kabob and friend meat turnover capital of the world was a good idea. ‍ We had the chorizo pizza that was the daily special with the Herb Crust. That was the MVP clutch play of the game. The crust is light and perfectly seasoned. The sauce is light, with the right amount of acidity and sweetness. There was just enough cheese to be nice. The mozz was fresh and moist not the toasty bag stuff. It was layered with chorizo but somehow it didn't turn the pizza into an Oily mess that we might "liberate" for oil. ( Relax I'm a Marine take a joke ). The staff spoke great English which is good as the place was chuck full of tourists and the wait staff was polite and happy. I mean we all been to places where the wait staff look like they had their soul sucked out by kitchen warlocks. I will def comeback. Next time get my own pizza and not share.
