Pesto salmon
Nicole H.

We had a lovely dinner at John Gray's with friends visiting from the States. The atmosphere was intimate and comfortable, the service great, the food fantastic and the drinks strong. Everyone enjoyed their meals-between us we had: jumbo shrimp, pesto salmon, pork loin, and surf and turf. We all also had Cadillac margaritas. Every meal was prepared and presented extremely well and we all enjoyed everything. I definitely recommend this restaurant for a fine dining meal and wonderful experience.

Lobster risotto
Sharon H.

Always a good meal at John Grays. We sat outside and asked for some bug spray as the mosquitoes were out! After a quick spray down we had wine, the wedge salad, the lobster mushroom risotto and the pesto chicken. Topped it off with some excellent key lime pie! Enrique was a very personable server and was helpful even hailing a taxi for us after dinner.

Best Creme Brulee ever.
Moe M.

One of many perfect meals to be had portside in Puerto Morelos. Incredible food, service and ambiance. Save some room for the Creme Brulee - it's exquisite.

Roasted chicken with pesto.
Eric B.

Excellent food and excellent service. It was a great environment and Dori was a fantastic host!

Camarón al ajo
Joanne R.

Was reluctant at first but a local resident made us promise to visit and it was the best decision. The restaurant is perfectly situated about a block off the central Square with impeccable service, delicious cocktails and the food had us from the minute we walked in with delicious smells that were followed by even better flavors. The garlic shrimp and the shrimp Mac n cheese with truffle oil were out of this world and we will be dreaming of these plates. I had them modify my plate to be grilled veggies with the shrimp but the mashed potatoes were also creamy and delicious.

Menu 4/18/19
James E.

Loved the ambiance. Outside seating was pleasant at night. The Corn chowder was light and flavors reminded me of sweet potatoes. I ordered the dishes that others Yelp'd about. The Shrimp Mac n cheese wasn't as gooey as I'd expect. It was more like fettuccini sauce. It tasted good though.

We had an excellent dinner. Drinks were top shelf. The catch of the day was fresh and the duck enchiladas were very good.

Gonna start with this was a wonderful place…read more First the atmosphere: A down-to-earth hole in the wall from the streets. We were drawn in by a fella play "Outstanding" 70's & 80's music, such as Journey, AC/DC, Bryan Adams, and even Santana. He was a wonderful performer. The walls are lined with various vehicle license plates. Most are from the US. All the staff was friendly spoke English well, which helped us stupid Americans who can't speak anything other than, not that great English As for the meals. There were four of us today and all our meals were great. Very filling large portions. The wifey had the Fish Tacos and she even let me try a piece of fish. She loved it and I have to say the fish piece had a wonderful flavor. I had the chicken and cheese quesadilla. Again filled with medium-sized chicken pieces. I'm a big eater and will tell you my 4 quesadillas filled me up. The wife and I had bottled sodas and my friends had beer. Lastly, I'm writing this the next day and as a traveler, like us, you might be concern about any "after effects." Well, there were zero! So I will say this if here - give this place a try. You will not be disappointed!

My friends and I ate here during our spring break trip this week, and the food was excellent. My…read moresister says she is still thinking about the chicken burrito she had there. Overall, the atmosphere was great, and the live music was fantastic to listen to. I would say the only thing is that the service was a tiny bit slow.

We were not entirely impressed with this place BUT food tastes are completely subjective, and so so…read moremany other people love it, so please don't let my review deter you. It truly is like eating at grandma's house. The decor is vibrant, but the overall vibe is cozy. The service is great, though the seating area did get warm (and we were there in the morning). The food portions are plentiful, and the menu is huge. We just didn't find the food had much flavor to it (which, again, completely subjective). My partner had the chilaquiles (soggy style) which were drowned in a beautifully colored chocolate mole and topped with plenty of tender, shredded chicken. I had the breakfast bagel, which came with lettuce, tomato, and onion, as well as cheese, egg, and bacon (probably why I found the food to be less than seasoned - admittedly it's a simple dish). And, we shared an order or molletes naturales - beans and cheese on a bolillo. Overall the food was good, don't get me wrong, but perhaps due to the nature of the dishes there simply just wasn't enough room for more flavor. I'd return to try their other stuff, because the portions were big, the way the food was cooked was great, and the service was friendly. But in the end, we found it to be just good, nothing mind blowing. Your experience may vary!!!!

Great spot for any kind of food or coffee. We went numerous times and were always happy with our…read morefood.
