Friendly staff, vibrant crowd, exquisitely prepared whole foods with a wonderful nautical edge.

We were here with my cousin who is a local and introduced us to the owner. I found the menu at the time to be quite limited. My husband savored his salmon fillet while I went out of my comfort zone and had the mahi tuna. The taste was good. The banana daiquiri that I ordered was too strong; all alcohol and light on the actual banana taste. I had to pass this one along to my husband. (Later the same evening, I enjoyed a nearly perfect mojito at a nearby pizza restaurant.) The view is, of course, very nice and we got to feed our leftovers to the swarming fish near the dock. I remember the restaurant/bar ambience itself being a little dark, as the sun was setting while we ate. There was lighting close to the dock, by where the fish swam. Overall, I would stop by again if I'm ever back on the island. This is a place where locals/boaters and visitors alike gather. However, as a satisfying seafood joint, I loved the offerings better at a restaurant we ate at in Fajardo. read more

Wouldn't come back. It's a cool spot- great view of the marina, clean, chill with a full bar. They have an American menu with a little variety. The crab cakes are a must have! They were delicious and hit the spot after a full day at the beach, but everything else was mediocre. The fajitas were too salty, the rice wasn't cooked all the way, the fish burger was bland and my mojito was served with a mangled fly floating all over it. Service wasn't great, we had to seat ourselves, grab menus and wait for a while to be greeted. When we told them about the fly in my mojito, the bartender just replied "oh" and brought me a new one. About the rice "the cook usually only makes the sandwiches". read more

The food, view and service was amazing here! Our visit was perfect! It's literally on the water! We went at about 6:30 and saw the sunrise and boats cruising around. The food, the dessert and the cocktails were all so yummy! I would recommend this place to everyone. Also, sweetest people on the island work here! We ended up talking to almost all of them for little things here and there and they were all SO kind. read more

One word ... paradise ! We are from Vegas, arrived to Isla DE culebra and went to Carlos jeep rental. Got the car and ask the guy "where is the best place on island to have some food ?" He told us about this dock. Let me tell you. That's the only place you want to be at. The food was amazing. I had fajitas asada. Shark fishes swimming right next to you . It's the best breakfast I've had in my life. With ice cold beer it feels unreal. Can't believe people don't leave more reviews. The server was super friendly. I asked his a question about fish's and he stopped and talked to us for few minutes. When I travel again I'll be there for sure. Don't miss a chance and go visit. Prices are too cheap . You should guys increase a little . People are gonna pay regardless . I wouldn't mind to pay more. I'll never forget this place read more

The woman on the front handling all the names is the nicest person ! :) has such a great attitude ! Vibe here is great as well .

I was pretty disappointed in the taste of the mahi mahi fillet probably because it's a frozen fish not fresh. At $17 it just came w a side of fries. The only thing I like so far is the decor and the ocean view with the giant fish. The service was a bit slow but at least the waitress was attentive. We had a local recommend this place but it just didn't have a nice Spanish flavor we know. read more

Dinghy Dock is awesome! We had a great time and a great meal! Definitely one of the best places on the island. I highly recommend it!

If I were to be a pirate this be the place to hang my hat. Jalapeño poppers and the crab cakes were a compliment to my Medalla beer and perfect Puerto Rican coffee. Cannot beat the views--this is the perfect place to rest up right after a long ferry boat ride and before you head to Flamenco beach. read more

Came here for dinner and lunch while staying in Culebra - the staff is super friendly, and the location can't be beat! It's right on the water - perfect for catching a cool breeze and looking at the fish and sail boats. The food is fresh and tasty! read more

It was ok. I ordered the El Capitan burger. The burger wasn't at all very flavorful. The onion rings are good. Good service.

This is my happy hour place on Culebra and a place that most people seem to either drop by or end up at. Quite good location with the waterfront (what is a bit crazy are the huuuuge fishes in the water just outside - seems it is a custom to feed the fishes, which I personally dont care much for). Cozy and colourful interior. They do happy hour from 3 to 6 (if I am not mistaken) and you can get your rum with a dash of coke or a bottle of beer for an ok price during happy hour. Service can be a bit slow if you are unlucky, but the bar is always busy so it is understandable. But you get a smile and the drinks and the food always show up, so dont worry, sip your beer and lean back and enjoy islandlife and islandtime! The food I tried was well prepared. I had a "daily Empanada" and some coconut shrimps. Nothing to fault here really. Will go back if I ever go back to Culebra. Fun and relaxed vibe, the people who work there do a great job and greet you with a big smile when you visit the 2nd time. read more

Awful and rude experience by hostes. She literally put her finger in my face as I was trying to ask her a question. After waiting in line for 20 minutes, the manager come to the front to tell the line of people waiting the restaurant had closed for anyone waiting. The restaurant could not handle the high volume and the staff was quickly overwhelmed to the point they closed the restaurant to the public before their closing hours. We had stopped the night before to make a reservation and were told reservations were not taken. When we arrived the next day the host was asking about reservations. I have traveled over 30 countries yet by far this place has some of rudest people I have ever experienced read more

Waited 20 minutes for our waitress to serve us after we had flagged down the nice hostess. He apologized, but when the waitress came, she was unapologetic and didn't seem like she wanted to serve us. She passed by our table multiple times serving others and ignoring us. The only good thing about this restaurant was the hostess that was on top of it and checked on us quite often even though he didn't have to. We ended up giving him a tip too for saving our experience from being a complete nightmare. Food is okay. read more

Dinghy Dock - Ribs in front and churrasco across from me - Caribbean Near Me - Culebra, Puerto Rico

Great atmosphere and bar! I wasn't super impressed with the food but the view and service made up for it. Definitely a great find.

Can't be helped that this place is one of the only places on Culebra that's open past 10. Yeah, there's plenty of tourists here but what can ya do. The fish in the water are pretty cool. Drinks are alright, though the food is nothing special IMO. read more

Food was delicious. We saw reviews about the crab cakes but they were out. Instead we went with the spinach dip,which was good, the swordfish, and the daily special of the octopus and shrimp salad. The swordfish and the seafood salad was phenomenal all the way down to the sides the bartender suggested which were the plaintains and mashed potatoes. Mojito drink and the painkiller were great too. Service too a while, but quite honestly the food was worth it and it was kind of understood with how extremely nonstop busy they were. We enjoyed ourselves at the high top table bear the edge of the dock which made the wait all worth it. read more

We went here on 2 separate occasions, once for lunch and once for dinner. Decent lunch spot, the beef fajitas were spot on and very affordable too (14$, i think i dont remember). The alcoholic drinks were on the weaker side tbh. For dinner i had the fried whole snapper and it was simply unimpressive, the way the fish was prepared, it simply didnt have much meat or flavor. One cool thing is that they have tarpons next to the restaurant, you can feed the carnivores your fish carcass once your done, which is pretty cool. read more

Best pina colada I had during my trip to PR. The food quantities for the entrees were immense, though there were less quantity than expected in the appetizer we ordered (jalapeño poppers). Baked pasta was overall done well and was a good option for vegetarians. My partners pork rib bbq was okay, definitely enough to feed two. Slower service, though it was a busy night! read more

Perfect end to our day at the beaches. Love how this place overlooks the bay. The music playing was good, old school hip-hop. I had the churrasco and it was a great recommendation from our waiter....super juicy and very well seasoned. The rice and beans and tostones were delish as well. Overall a recommend. read more

"A sad night out for a once back nice dining experience" This is my third time coming to Culebra island and this place used to be my favorite place years ago so i know what i am saying... What happened here !!?!??! The hostess and server at this place were the least accommodating and most rude persons i have ever encountered at a restaurant. Considering their new overpriced and average food you at least would expect good service, but no. Not even that.. We joined our two friends sitting at a table for four and what they call "HOSTESS" literally went and told the server to not serve us food or drinks because we arrived later.... WOow there dear hostess... consider switching careers because this is not working out for you. Aside of that When our friends got their food their utensils were not properly cleaned and the fish tasted funny. ( Make sure to get your hep shots before you come to this place and remember there is only one clinic in the island ) I heard locals mention roaches spotted in the kitchen. I have no idea what happened in the last four or five years since i came to this island but the prices skyrocketed and the service and food went down flushed the toilet. It is sad to see a place like Culebra that used to be characteristic for the good food and price to become a tourist trap. While i do recommend visiting the island for its beauty i will sure tell you to stay at a rental property, BUY GROCERIES off the island and COOK AT your place. Take care of your health and body. Run away type of place !!! Pros: Deck View Open Late Cons: Tourist Trap Very expensive for what you get Average food that might be contaminated Sad service The not so hosting "hostess" The waiter HIT "USEFUL" IF YOU HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE ! read more

This is currently (Nov 2021) the Best restaurant on Culebra, by far! Pretty much always a wait to get in when open, but well worth it. No other place we found on Culebra even came close to the quality of food and good service at Dinghy Dock! read more

This is not American food... The seafood here is of gargantuan porportions and so affordable, OMG! This place would be a 1 star hotel in America but it serves up 5 star goodness, with genius flavors and supreme quality of ingredients. Just remember, you are on island time now; be prepared to wait to no end while having to send out flare signals for another drink. How does an island that you have to rough it on make this elite savory bang possible?! read more

very lively and great ambience. it was very busy when we went in for dinner on sunday, had to wait a while for the food but it did not disappoint. The food and dessert was really good. If you can, stay away from the table near toilet coz the smell does linger. read more

A hidden little jewel that fouls you when you arrive...making you think it is indeed dingy. When you go down the steps however you are welcomes into a great ambience and view. Delicious ceviche and yummy burgers witha. Great view ohhhh and did i mention good mojitos!! Yea Good mojitos!! read more

Two stars for great cocktails and cool view with fishes swimming right beneath the dock. You can feed the fishes your leftovers (they don't consider it cannibalism) and it's fun to watch them swarm. Also, wifi. We got there at 7. Big, happening crowd. "Wow! Sharp spot!" thought we. And so, we waited. And waited. And had cocktails. Three of them. Until we were seated over an hour later. ...At 9:20 (the initial time of writing his review) we still had not received our food, which was one order to share for two. We're told in the beginning that wait to sit was 30 min; it was double that. Over an hour to order. Still sitting. Still starving. Update: we got our one dish just as we were getting up to leave. It's a shame that there aren't more restaurant options in Culebra, but this is unacceptable. I would have packed a long lunch; but at the very least, I'd appreciate a "sorry, we're at capacity" and I will have still tried it next time. It's a Monday night. If you come here on a weekend, you may not get fed. read more

Grab a drink at the bar and sit on the dock in the evening. It's very cool to watch the tarpon fish, especially when someone throws them a bite to eat. Mojitos were delicious, and the vibes were great. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the service is good. read more

Dinghy Dock - Sitting on the dock, enjoying a rum and coke with the tarpon fish - Caribbean Near Me - Culebra, Puerto Rico

I'll start by saying that the banana daiquiri was probably the best daiquiri I've ever had! It was made with real bananas, not some nasty mix or pre-bottled crap. I also really liked the atmosphere. They have tables that are right on the dinghy dock. You can look out onto the water, watch the fish and watch people get in their dinghies and row out to their yachts. Now for the food. It was mediocre. My ceviche was not good. My fish of the day special was tasty but full of bones. The plantains were average. My bf on the other hand loved his food so maybe it's just me. I was so unsatisfied with my dinner that afterwards I walked over to Zaco's for a taco. Service was pretty good even by mainland standards. I would go back for drinks but not for dinner. read more

Great atmosphere, beautiful view,and delicious food! Came here on a Saturday night around 7p. There was a 10-15 min wait and we chilled at the bar. (They have happy hour from 4-6p.) It seems to be a local hang out for expats (or whatever you want to call people from the states living in Culebra). Great service at the bar. My friend and I ordered the surf and turf and the seared tuna. The steak in the surf and turf was definitely the best part of the dish- very flavorful. the steak was still good even though my friend ordered it medium which is not my preference. For the tuna, they used a wasabi aioli sauce that was amazing. The tuna itself was a little dry even though it was cooked toward the raw side. Overall a wonderful experience. Seemed a little pricey for the island, but still way cheaper than NYC. read more

HANDS DOWN BEST RESTAURANT OF OUR TRIP! We sat at the bar and had an opportunity to speak to one of the owners! She was so sweet and we had a great conversation! The food, drinks, and service was AMAZING. Definitely recommend for any travelers! It was great! read more

4.5 stars, could be a 5 given the average service in PR. We went here on a Monday afternoon before catching the ferry. Pros: Location is awesome, you get Great views of the harbor, boats come up, huge fish down below... Very cool vibe, nice and clean. Almost feels like a fun family joint. Plus they were Open, which one forgets is a big deal on the island. Food was good. Nothing amazing, but good. Mixed Drinks were delicious and less 'overpriced' than other places. Service was A+. I can't remember the name of the dude whom we had, but he did great, possibly because we were the 1st ones in the door at 11. Accommodated my wife's 'No Wheat' thing with ease. Price was better than most other places in Culebra, and the food was still worth while. Overall I'd go here again. read more
