If you're looking for a restaurant bar next to the water in the southern part of the island Salina,…read morePR the Full Moon is for you. We were first to walk o so the place was empty, but it was weekday. They do have bands come in and play live music. Service was okay, seems a little slow and not enough attention for only 2 tables available. However the waitress was nice and pleasant. She made good recommendations and we tried multiple parts of the menu. Location is huge, right next to water and roller skating rink available. It is behind a hotel, enough parking for around 10 cars inside but more parking Available outside the area (marina). Food was little slow to serve and not completely hot. It was all good flavor not too salty. Fish was well cooked and looked amazing. Drinks, area where they lacked. Need to have better bartender for mixed drinks. Not alot to choose from either on the bar. I would recommend if you're in the area and looking for some seafood. A little pricey for a local, but reasonable prices for tourist. Enjoy your stay and eat away!

The only 4 star was the beans as they were cooked and had Calabasa and ham and had flavor.

El ambiente es acogedor, con ese toque familiar que te hace sentir como en casa. El pescado frito estaba perfectamente sazonado y crujiente por fuera, tierno por dentro -- ¡simplemente espectacular! Acompañamos la comida con tostones doraditos y un mofongo lleno de sabor, con ese balance perfecto entre ajo y textura. Las bebidas fueron otro acierto: la sangría y la piña colada estaban refrescantes, con un toque justo de dulzura. Para cerrar con broche de oro, el dulce de lechosa con queso fue una delicia nostálgica que nos transportó a los sabores tradicionales de la isla. En resumen, El Roble ofrece una experiencia completa: buena comida, buen ambiente y un servicio amable que refleja el verdadero espíritu boricua. ¡Definitivamente volveremos!

I've known this restaurant for years. My family has a farm nearby, and I used to walk there to eat their hot aguapanelas and delicious tamales... I visit every time I return from the United States, but the last two times I went, the taste and tradition of the food just didn't convince me... The authentic flavors they're known for have completely changed, and the waitress who served us was imposing, without any formality... I felt like we owed her something... A very bad impression. This time, we traveled from Pereira to El Roble so my husband could eat the best tamales... I want to eat them in the United States. My chicharrones... were terrible, not to mention the maduros... This place is simply famous... and expensive... There are much better places in terms of quality and service, like PANPANOCHA, where we went... Wow!

They would take your temperature before you enter and they will clean the table in front of you. The food is very good and the drinks are great ! Beware that the plates are big! lol . Gorgeous view of the ocean and you can see the sunset if you go around 5 pm. The service was excellent, fast and efficient . We order one jar of Sangria and beers. The sangria was exquisite , not too strong or light. Food *Salmorejo de Jueyes - 5 of 5, Puerto Rican Salmorejo de Jueyes is a treat for anyone who loves crab. You can eat it with white rice , fried plantains or mofongo. * Chicken Mofongo - 5 of 5 , Mofongo itself is a dumpling made from lightly fried plantains, garlic, and pork rinds - it is full of flavor, and not overly dense or dry. You can order Mofongo with shrimps, beef or anything you like. Its a great restaurant to visit if you are near Salinas. They have free parking and you have the option to seat inside with AC or outside with a beautiful ocean view.

Por suerte pedimos varios aperitivos y estuvieron tan malos que no llegamos a ordenar nada más para almorzar. Empezamos pidiendo un caldo de pescado, parecía grasa pero estaba aguao' aguao' y soso, malo. También pedimos un coctél de carrucho, por $16.99 literal solo tenía 7 pedazos de carrucho pequeñitos y el resto era lechuga mojada con el picadillo de cebolla y pimiento, de sabor, nada espectacular. Los camarones al ajillo, que son imposibles de dañar, no sabían a nada y parecían hervidos (hasta tenían la espumita blanca por encima), hubiera querido pedir sal pero la joven no salía a atendernos; los tostones parece que habían estado sumergidos en aceite frío por varios minutos, así que también fueron imposibles de comer, y por último los chicharrones de pescado, más bien parecían haber frito una tilapia, con un poquito de mayo-ketchup nos lo pudimos tragar pero no era un buen filetito de pescado. En fin, lo único bueno fueron las cervezas porque ni el jugo de toronja tenía sabor. El servicio fatal, ni a cobrarnos se acercaban a la mesa así que tuvimos que ir personalmente a la caja. Un lugar muy bonito, solo necesita unos nuevos cocineros (porque chefs no deben ser) y empleados que disfruten y valoren su trabajo.

I ate a quarter of the soup and half the mofongo side, couldn't eat as I was so aggravated. We get the check and not even a discount, they charged us for the full bill. Absolute insanity.

This review is intended for non-locals…read more I have an app on my iPhone to record the noise level and after five visits (their "siete potencias" fish soup is out of this world good) can tell you they keep the music level at an average of 98.3 dB. If you worked at the airport and stood next to a revving jet engine, that would be about 100dB. Not surprisingly, you will need a megaphone to be heard while you are placing your orders. Also, bring some constructions red flags to wave uncontrollably in order for you to get the attention of the servers at no other than the ordering spot on the counter. To say the service is slow would be an understatement. Based on five visits I would estimate there is a 99% probability they will get something wrong with your order. Stray dogs (and chickens) roam the dinning area (I wish it wasn't so), if you need to use the bathrooms there is a 100% probability it hasn't been cleaned on that day and there will not be any paper towel (that is pretty much guaranteed). The trash cans in the dinning area will always be overfilled with trash. You may be tempted to empty their trash cans, in an act of random kindness, in the dumpster adjacent to the restaurant but I will discourage you from getting within 50 feet of that dumpster. The "view" along with the stench will likely have you running to your car and you will not be able to run away fast enough. I saved the best for last. This passed Friday I stopped there, yet again. Why, you may ask? Because I am telling you, their fish soup keeps me coming back to it. The experience was the same as the other four times except this time there was no queue to order (it still took about ten minutes to order) and a "chinchorreo bus" pulled up right behind us with about 50 people! After getting our lunch (for three people) and the mandatory fish soup, I stood there trying to pay for about 15-20 minutes. It did not matter what I did to try to get their attention (and I was right there at the counter), they either ignored me or could not see or hear me, which would not be surprising. And so I did what I had never done in my life: I walked away, got in my car and went home (without paying). I do not recommend you do the same but my frustration level was at the highest it has ever been, mostly because the workers kept ignoring me regardless of what I did to get their attention. I kept waiving my debit card in hand, lunch on the counter and my two daughters behind me asking "what is wrong with them?" Every two minutes or so. Two things will happen now: I will offer to pay for that lunch on the next visit (I am telling you, I am addicted to that darn fish soup!), or they will contact me after reading this review, at which time I will pay them with 100% premium for not doing it when I should have. I still will not leave a tip... In summary, their fish soup is to die for, their service is so bad there isn't a scale to measure it, the music is so loud you should consider it as dangerous to your hearing, you should bring a megaphone to be heard placing your order or asking for the bill, and you will wonder how on earth this place stays in business. And the answer to that last question is, because people like me May complain and warn others about the health hazards of coming to this place, yet we still come back for that darn fish soup...
