This is by FAR the BEST restaurant in Isabela. The setting is stunning, the decor is very romantic with vines on the ceiling, incredible lighting and delicate details from candles to beach wood. The food does not disappoint, an extensive menu offering something for anyone. The brick oven pizzas are delicious, and tons of Puerto Rican/Latin fusion dishes. The chef is talented and provides an elevated approach, while keeping them súper savory and approachable. We loved our dinning experience so much, we came back the next day for breakfast! This is a must-see/eat spot! LOVE LOVE LOVE read more

Eclipse Restaurant - Restaurante Eclipse - Caribbean Near Me - Isabela, Puerto Rico

Well, just to be concise, we went here twice and the food was great but the service was crappy! Our last visit, my wife got reservations for nine, she picked out the table, and they were good with that...it was my birthday and she wanted to make it special. When we got there on time, we were sent to the wrong table...strike one! Then our stoned out waiter, Gabrielle, gave us menus for a preset five course meal...ten minutes later, he comes over and profusely apologizes, takes it away and explains that it was meant for the other party that got our table!! Strike two!! So, then five of us order a wine samplers. The waiter comes out with four huge glasses with about 2 oz of wine in them each...huh? The menu said 4 oz...so, I politely point this out and nubnutz brings out four bottles of wine and attempts to pour them in the correct bottles...total fail!! Strike three!!! The only...only reason that I give this place two stars is because the food is really good. But for the money, I'd pass for sure and head into Aguadilla for other offerings. read more

I'm not particularly impressed with this place. The views are amazing and so is the ambiance. The service is stellar, warm and friendly. I just couldn't get around to assimilating the food and I spent several days eating my meals here - this being my only option - the other restaurant is in remodel)? The coktails were a bit too sweet for my palette and that carried over to the food. For example, my breakfast potatoes were covered in some sweet sauce and the French toast was very sweet as well. For a person who prefers savory food this was not pleasing. For the price I was expecting something satisfying, elevated and with depth of flavors. Thought expertly executed in technique, the flavors for me were not there and in the wrong wheel house (sweet). read more

The ambiance, decor, and setting of the restaurant was amazing! Actually they were the best of any restaurant that we ate at during our time in Puerto Rico. The wait staff was friendly and our waiter did a phenomenal job! He was very knowledgeable, kind, and was incredibly attentive. However, the food is so-so for the price. I had the Kobe Beef Burger ($35) and my wife had the Mediterranean Pizza ($16). I could tell they used quality ingredients, but the actual dish didn't come together to make us say "wow." If the menu was reworked so that flavor of the whole dish met the quality of the ingredients, this would be an ideal, and nearly perfect restaurant. read more

The view and atmosphere is gorgeous! The cocktails are delish!! We got the Puerto Rican sampler as an appetizer and loved it! It was huge! Then we split a pizza and that was super good as well! It is worth a stop! read more

Eclipse Restaurant - passion fruit mojito and Mr. Balls cocktails. - Caribbean Near Me - Isabela, Puerto Rico

The waitress had a sense of humor. That was about it. There are so many wonderful places around this colorful town, do not waste your money here. Seriously, go to Olga's around the corner or la spezies! 1. Location & ambiance- It is right on the ocean and almost magical. The furniture is rustic and there is a little area to snuggle by a cute little fire. The lighting is HORRIBLE. I'm 24, and couldn't see a darn thing.... Restaurant is noisy too, so glad we were able to be in the middle of an other familys' reunion. 2. Food- one word OVERPRICED and not fresh. Menu was limited and food was weird, shrimp pasta with fish and chicken? 3. Service- sloooooooow, and rude, my biggest peeve? Bringing me bottled water. Walk along the beach and it is disgusting how many bottles are washed up. I asked for tap water... More bottles. read more

Oh my heck! Such great service, ambiance, and food. The staff was sooo friendly, the food was mouth watering, and it is beach front. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. How wonderful server was named William, he took care of all of our questions and needs. 100% recommend. read more

If you want to eat there... You have to go 3 hours earlier from when ever you want to eat.... Food is good but it takes FOR EVER to get to your table!!! Also the specifications on the menu doesn't match what they give you. For example I asked for the seafood market salad and they give me some yuca stuff with conch ( they where good) but I was expecting a variety of seafood. read more

The place was a little difficult to find and felt almost like we we're in the middle of nowhere, but once we found it it was totally worth it! We had the puerto rico bites for apps, lamb chops and seared pork medallions for the main coarse. Not to mention the passion fruit mojitos were the best I've had read more

I've eaten here a few times with groups from 2-7 people over the past week and my experience is significantly different from that described by Carolyn. The location is great and we had no problem with lighting. Later at night, the lights may be a bit dim, but comparable to most restaurants. The food is expensive, but every dish we've tried has been great! The fresh catch pasta is particularly good. The fries that come with many of the sandwiches aren't bad, but are typical potato wedges and not outstanding. Service can be slow, and it seems they are usually a bit understaffed most days, but the servers were always very helpful and friendly toward us and this gives you more time to enjoy the scenery and conversation. If you aren't looking for fast-food paced service and are used to traditional fine-dining at a relaxed cadence, the service is exactly what you would expect. read more

The view is spectacular. The food was nice and the service spectacular. Nice for a business meal.

If you're not familiar with the area don't make nighttime your first visit. Once you get off the main road all GPS function cease in this area. There is no signage and poor lighting. We abandoned our "expedition" to this restaurant at night and decided to come back during daytime hours just to find it. Even during daytime hours it was still a challenge but we located it and ended up making reservations for dinner. During our brief afternoon visit I had an uneventful "ginger margarita". But I have to say the view from the restaurant is spectacular! Dinner time: We were seated at the edge where the restaurant is separated from the beach by a knee high stone fence. It was a beautiful setting. Even though you couldn't see the ocean because it was nighttime, it was wonderful to hear the ocean surf pounding in the darkness. Service was polite and attentive. However, the food was mediocre especially for the price. But the worst part of this dining experience were the cats roaming around and within the restaurant. There were at least two cats. They were scooting under the diner's tables including ours. On one occasion, one of the cats perched itself about 2 feet from me, sitting on the stone fence. Our server made a perfunctory gesture and shooed the cat away. She even called the cat by name. read more

Awesome place and beautiful nice background music and foodie level food, try the eclipse pizza better than New York

Absolutely outstanding dining experience! Ambiance, service, preparation, presentation, and flavor were excellent. The waiter brought the chef to the table to meet us after our having given them a compliment. We could not have been more pleased. read more

Elegant food and setting right on the beach. Fantastic breakfast. Open Aire seating. It's really stunning. Yet casual. I took some business colleagues and they were knocked out. Fantastic coffee read more

Great service, romantic setting, beautiful decor. Great prices. Enjoyed the 5 course meal for $70 each. I could die in this restaurant and thought I made it to heaven. The lobster appetizer, eggplant and dishes were fine cuisine. The Salma Hayek cocktail is my personal recommendation - refreshing. Very attentive staff, hard workers. read more

This place is really nice food is really good and the best part about it is there's no wait would definitely recommend this place if you want to relax and enjoy the sound of the beach drinks and good brick oven pizza read more

Went here for our night out for dinner. I got the pork bell with cumin seasoned sweet potatoes and my husband got the snapper with mamposteado. I can say that I was disappointed, as I did not expect a small portion! The pork belly was the size of a cassette tape and about a 1/4 cup of sweet potatoes. My husband called it a snack and it felt like it. For the price, I expected a lot more. My husband on the other hand, received a whole fish and a nice portion of mamposteado! I had a taste of his fish and the mamposteado, and both were delicious. The mamposteado, which is a common dish in Puerto Rican cuisine was off the chain. A bowl of that would have made me happy. It made my husband wonder if they had found his Louisiana creole grandmother and had her cooking in the kitchen!! We can return, however, I would clearly ask about the portion sizes next time.. read more

Amazing time at this vintage looking restaurant. We didn't get a chance to make a reservation but friends had recommended the stop so we showed up on Saturday hoping that they would have space and they did! We started off with two mojitos and ordered fried bacalaitos as starters. I had the grilled little hen chicken and he had the seafood risotto and both were amazing. Setting the food aside, the best part of this restaurant is the romantic vibe, its dark, in front of the ocean, and totally lit by chandeliers (yes chandeliers outdoors) and candles, with fresh flowers everywhere, I'm saying this is a date spot if I've ever seen one! Love it. read more

Lovely place, right by the ocean. Have gone a few times food is inconsistent but usually good. Skirt steak is good and arroz momposteo is ok. Service needs to improve for locals. Great drinks. read more

My husband and I have gone to Eclipse every time we visit Isabela. The atmosphere, service, and food are always spectacular. Eclipse is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever been to. My husband had an amazing organic grass fed ribeye, and I had the chef's special seafood risotto. Both were phenomenal, but be prepared to spend $30-50 per entree. Also, the GFC cocktail is delicious! read more

The food was good but certainty have space to be better. The risotto have hard inside and the fish was some dry. In the area certainly you may find best priced sea food. The restaurant view in front of the sea is wonderful but also you can find this view in several places. read more

The food here was mostly delicious, very classy and well-plated; however, our experience was dampened by a few mishaps along the way. We had called the day before to make a reservation, but when we showed up, all the tables were full and the host suggested we sit at the bar to wait. We did and decided to order a drink, it was 10 minutes before we were noticed (yet there were only 4 other people at the bar) and upwards of 20 minutes before we received our drinks. I'm not sure what the bartender was busying himself with, but it was not making drinks. After we had watched 2 other couples get seated before us, I asked the host was there a table for us available yet and he said no. So I had to get pushy and remind him we had made reservations which are SUPPOSED to take priority over walk-ins. We were seated 10 minutes later at a 12 top right beside the bar (we were only 2 people). Ok so the food was quite yummy after we had our spot, and the waitress was friendly and attentive, but one of our apps was a flash-fried chicken which came out completely raw inside! Yikes! They did comp us for that. They also had to comp us for my boyfriend's second beer, which apparently was the end of the barrel. The breeze from the ocean was nice and the ambience was too, but overall this place needs to get with the program! read more

Eclipse Restaurant - The ambience - Caribbean Near Me - Isabela, Puerto Rico

My sister and I recently booked a dinner for my father's 80th birthday with Yhasmina Sophie and it was an awesome experience. We live in NY and my parents live in PR so it was the luck of the draw that we picked this restaurant. Yhasmina was professional, informative and oh so nice to work with. In the end, two days before Hurricane Maria, we celebrated my father's birthday. The food was SUPERB, the service unbelievable. Our waiter, whose name I can't remember was unbelievable!!! Best of ALL my father loved it!!!! I can not wait to go back there and would advise any one who can to go. A beautiful dining experience. read more

Very beautiful place! Ambiance was some of the best in Puerto Rico! Food was so so... Expected better! The worst part was the service! Very very slow, not attentive and didn't make us feel welcome.... Never asked how we were or the food and everyone around us had to ask for their check... Such a shame for such a beautiful place! read more

Nice ambience. Food tasted really good. Good service. Will definitely go back and recommend.

Food is good here! Amazing view of the ocean and a very nice secluded location. Staff is excellent and they will make anything for you even if it isn't on the menu. Only reason it didn't receive 5 stars was it is a little pricey. Still an excellent place. read more

My husband and I were excited to visit since our first experience in 2011 was awesome! This trip we stayed in the North East side of the island so planned a day trip to ensure we got to visit. Too bad we were horribly disappointed in this visit and won't be back again! We made 6pm reservations and were the first to be seated, but we didn't eat until 7:30. The waiter never checked on us the entire visit and didn't give consistent service between tables. I ordered a virgin mojito and he brought me a piña colada, probably with alcohol! Beautiful resort! read more

Just went there for dinner after having the place recommended by the resort we are spending 5 days visiting. Not just one, but multiple people recommended this place, and my wife really wanted to try it. Now, I understand that the main chef may be out of town. My wife had dinner at the resort and reported our dissatisfaction, and even the manager of the resort came to our table to hear our experience. To be fair, the service was not bad: they forgot to bring us an extra plate, requested before the meal, and they forgot a major part of a meal two of us in the party of 4 ordered until they were about done with the plate. But the water glasses were kept full ( since I was a busboy 30 years ago, this really matters to me) and their attitude was kind, even wonderful. However the drinks seemed wildly watered down, ALL OF THEM, and that included a Margarita, a Mojito, a rum and coke, and 2 Pina Colada's. This matters not because we were trying to get drunk, but only because the drinks didn't taste right. Then, the food. Our Red Snapper Ceviche was good. No complaints about that. But the Risotto with Seafood ordered by two of us, and the Fettucine Carbonero with shrimp ordered by myself were tasteless. Beautifully presented, but tasteless. And there were no baskets or extra plates given to us upon which to place empty shells. This restaurant is right on a beach, and there is wild surf in the background. There was a 2 man band playing music, and quite well. We are a family of 4 with two older children in college or grad school, and the there were many beautiful young people there. I think that would matter to me if I were in my early 20's. But for the food, I would be unable to recommend the place. My wife left her food, and went to the resort restaurant to eat with my youngest daughter. (She may be richer at heart than I am), and had a circle of people of from the resort flabbergasted by the report. They knew the primary criteria we had for asking for an off site location was to experience a foodie dinner, above that of a nice place. So I have to mention their surprise in the review, My wife learned the chef was out of town read more

Food took forever to arrive. It was aprox. 1:10 minutes for 2 pizzas and it was really expensive. I order a piña colada very simple pineapple smotthie and it was horrible. Over all bad service. read more

I finally got to enjoy a visit to this beautiful resort today and to be "wowed" by having lunch in their restaurant Eclipse. We had the most friendly and attentive service Wanda who made sure we left satisfied. We started with her suggestion of the awesome appetizer of local conch with red onions and sprouts in a mashed yucca cup. Utterly delicious! And then we wanted to try the thin crispy pizza margarita from their own wood oven. Again, it was a real winner, and I know my pizzas comic from New York City and also having visited Italy many many times. This was perfect. And then we enjoyed the guava ribs atop trifongo. Another yes please! The homemade lemonade was very recommendable and fresh. The coconut flan was a type I had never had before served in a most generous portion with a scoop of berry gelato on the side atop homemade granola. This place not only has great food but the most unbelievably knockout view of the aquamarine ocean in front of you. You cannot help but leave feeling happy. I would return here as soon as possible. The faculties are immaculate and the open air but covered restaurant allow the trade winds to gently blow through the space. The restaurant is filled with interesting rustic tables and old fashioned looking chandeliers and wooden structures. Excellent experience! read more

GORGEOUS restaurant on the beach with delicious food and impeccable service. Will definitely return again.

I'm so shocked by how gorgeous this secret restaurant is. And I say secret because I had no idea it existed in this corner of the island! It's got a tranquil beautiful water view and the dishes we ordered, pizza, burger, ribs and tacos were all a 10! read more

Beautiful view, great service. Beyond that absolutely "meh". The prices are annoyingly high. The single person 10 inch pizza I ordered had burnt edges ($16), the drinks were weak ($11), the pool had stagnant water in it and the mosquitis attacked my legs due to the lovely mating ground provided. All on all I'd not go back for a meal ($28-$35 for an entree) or a beer NINE DOLLARS for a beer when they can't take proper care of the pool resulting in multiple bites on a heavy wind day. The resort is gorgeous and I see why people stay there but as for the restaurant EXPENSIVE AND NOT WORTH IT. read more

My husband and I had dinner here 3x and we were never disappointed. We tried new things each time we ate there and the quality was noticeable in the presentation and most of all the harmonious blending of flavors. It's obvious the chef takes pride in their work. The level of service from Sally, Gabriel and Princesa was professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice ambiance, gorgeous views, fantastic food and personal service. read more

Wonderful food, attentive service and beautiful location right on the beach. What more could you ask for? Highly recommended for that special night out if you are in the area. read more

the food was delicious the staff was extremely nice, the menu a little pricey but the facilities are well worth it. definitely recommend.

We went twice to give it the benefit of the doubt, first for lunch then for dinner , although Mariemma was great at attending us the gandules mamposteao was extremely salty same as the churrasco, the flys were a huge problem also we had to be moved to another table but it did not make a difference. As for me I ordered the raviolis which had a garlic and onion sauce that I did not like. We wanted to give it another try because of what we have heard about the chef... that was a dreadful experience... we were seated at 8:36 and the appetizer came at 9:35 ,we order the appetizer and dinner at the same time because of our previous long waiting , the fried calamares were so bland and tasteless ,then we waited till 10:25 for the dinner to be served, the cast iron filet with gorgonzola was so sour that I could not eat it , dreadful experience. You should go only to have drinks and see the view which is breathtaking but as for the food go somewhere else. A total fiasco!!!! read more

Reservation made at 8:00pm. We arrived at 7:50pm and the host ask us to wait at the bar for 10-15 minutes while they set the table. Twenty minutes later we asked for the table and they told us that we will have to wait for 40 more minutes. No explanations made We left and they did not apologized or worry about the clients!!!!! We were not the only ones.... read more

This is the place you're looking for! $50 per person with a full meal. Try the cucumber gimlet and chocolate soufflé! Make a reservation and show up for dinner to watch the sunset from the beach. Only high quality meal I've had in Puerto Rico. read more
