This place was recommended by our butler at the hotel, and honestly, we should have just gone with our original choice instead of coming here. The restaurant itself is aesthetically pleasing, but that's about where the positives end. The food is seriously underwhelming and absolutely not worth the price. I ordered the seafood spaghetti, and every single clam came out closed. The mussels were ridiculously small, there was barely any other seafood in the dish, and for the price they charge, it honestly feels like a complete rip-off. The show is entertaining, but the entertainment is better than the food, in my opinion. On top of that, the sodas we were served were flat and appeared to be expired, which is completely unacceptable. This has easily been the worst dining experience I've had since being here. The atmosphere may look nice, but that does not make up for poor-quality food, questionable drinks, and prices that do not match what you're actually getting. I would not come back, and I definitely would not recommend this restaurant. And, we came here to celebrate a birthday. Wow!

You have the option to sit outside or inside which both are excellent options. To the right is the open kitchen and in front sits the fresh Italian meat and the most impressive is the leg of prosciutto (unfortunately did not have it on this trip). The waiters were attentive and gave wonderful recommendations. The insalata d'uva was pairs perfectly with the Gorgonzola dressing and balsamic reduction. Even better was the insalata d'asparagi which may have been one of best asparagus dishes I have had. The first thought of oranges with asparagus may be odd but just trust the chef and jump in. The Quattro formaggi may not sound that like a home run from the menu but with the copa and the smoked provolone the flavor is lifted to a place where you are wishing for a couple more bites as the dish comes to an end. The pavlova was just the right amount of sweet to end the night. Overall a very welcoming and well thought out experience and I would recommend if you have the time to stop by.

Sadly disappointed in our lunch at La Louisa. The view is spectacular, 5 star view. The food is…read moreless than spectacular. I had the octopus salad with potato and tomato. The lime flavor was good and the octopus was tender, but the tomatoes tasted off. So off I was afraid to eat them for fear of getting sick. My son had the gnocchi Gorgonzola. The cream sauce was so thick it overpowered the gnocchi. The plate was a heap of gnocchi smothered in rich heavy cream with a hint of Gorgonzola. Terrible. My son also had a mojito. The drink was very strong (my son is 25 years old and certainly not new to mojitos) and not the good taste of a top shelf rum, but rather more of a grain alcohol taste (anyone who has lived on a college campus knows what that tastes like). He drank about half and left the rest. Within 1 hour after leaving La Louisa, my son became violently ill. So ill a doctor was necessary. We cannot tie his illness directly to a certain beverage he had that day; one cervesa and the mojito, but the doctor is certain he had alcohol poisoning. Again, we can only surmise as to the source. Food was not good and drinks suspect. If you want a fantastic view while dining, err on the side of caution while dining at La Louisa.

AZUR was a pretty good first-night dinner and ended up being one of the better meals we had at the…read moreresort, even if it wasn't perfect. We started with the hummus and pita bread and the beef carpaccio. The hummus was really good and easily the standout appetizer. The beef carpaccio was okay, but it was kind of bland and didn't have a lot going on. For our entrees, I ordered the Pollo al Vino Tinto, which was a red wine chicken served over mashed potatoes. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. My girlfriend ordered the Andalusian-style beef roast with creamy rice, and that was excellent as well. Both entrees were easily the highlight of the meal. The desserts were a different story. The baklava tasted more like a really hard churro than traditional baklava. We also tried the rum fritters and another dessert that was basically a cream puff sitting in a thin sauce. None of the desserts were bad, but they were definitely disappointing compared to the main courses. We sat on the patio, which had a mild ocean view, although it was mostly a palm tree frond view from where we were seated. The bigger issue was the service. It wasn't very busy, but it felt like we were forgotten at times. I think we only saw our server about three times during the entire meal. Despite the inconsistent service and underwhelming desserts, the excellent entrees and really good hummus made this a solid dinner and a good way to start the trip. I would eat here again.

"Now mama don't you worry none From small things, mama…read moreBig things one day come" (Bruce Springsteen - From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come) Vento is a tapas restaurant located off one of the spokes of the Paradisus central atrium. It offers four salads, eleven cold tapas or small plates, fifteen hot tapas, and five dessert tapas. It's quite an elegant restaurant. You have the choice of sitting outside the main dining room in the atrium, or in the main dining room, which we chose. But we noticed it was noisy inside- perhaps a result of the open kitchen and bar areas that weren't too far from our seats, so we heard the shake, rattle, and roll of every dish, pot, and pan. Before we ordered, we were served a welcome drink that was excellent (some sort of strawberry and vodka concoction) and a basket with two small loaves of bread. The waiter very ceremoniouslly poured oil and a splash of vinegar into our three bread plates. We had a blast ordering. The waiter suggested we each order one salad, one cold tapas and four hot tapas. So we ended up with like 20 different things that all looked beautiful. My wife and son ordered the mozzarealla pizza from the hot menu, but it wasn't hot at all- kind of unappealingly warm. Here is my report on the tapas I tried: The greek salad was very good- lots of olives, which as an olive guy I appreciated, plus diced tomatoes, onions, peppers and crumbled feta cheese. An excellent cold soup (Ajo Blanco) served in what looked like a test tube with about a quarter cup of shrimp tartar. The shrimp tartar was delicious. Charcoal grilled octopus was a big chunk of an octo's tentacle served with potatoes in a sweet paprika oil. I didn't care for this at all. I've had octopus a few times and liked it, but this dish tasted a lot stronger than I expected. Black Baby Squid over wild rice - not a fan - it just wasn't something I liked, aesthetically so and taste wise. Pan fried shrimp with curry and chick peas over wild rice. Wonderful - my favorite dish of the evening - just bursting with flavor. I would have loved a big plate of it. Braised Veal Cheek with cauliflower and mushrooms. It had a very soft and delicate texture and was pretty good. King scallops with a green bean and pork ragout - another very good dish. Dessert tapas on the menu were a variety of sorbets, churros, ice creams, tiramiso and a custard. I ordered the vanilla custard, and it was very ordinarily flan-like. On the other hand, the Nutella ice cream was absolutely sensational. Our server was helpful and not intrusive, he explained the tapas concept and was swift in clearing the table and refilling the beverages. All in all, we had an enjoyable time and a pretty good meal.
