My family and I were looking for some yummy local eats, and stumbled upon Villa de Lester on Yelp…read more The restaurant sits across the beach, and is pretty divey. It seems like a place locals go to drink, but not necessarily eat. Nonetheless, we were there and hungry, so ordered a few items. We tried the seafood mofongo, conch salad, and red snapper. The seafood mofongo was some of the best mofongo I had on the island. I enjoyed the seafood, but especially liked the little chicarron bits that were smashed into the mofongo. The red snapper was also huge and very shareable and paired well with hot sauce. Overall, we enjoyed the food and found the staff to be very friendly.

Our first time visiting Dorado and we wanted to have dinner nearby so we decided to try this spot…read more I was not disappointed! I ordered a cocktail called Mula de Oro which was insanely delicious. For my main course I ordered the grouper appetizer (fish strips) with a side order of arroz mamposteado. It was the perfect meal! The grouper was lightly breaded and fried. It wasn't oily at all and very flavorful. The rice was also very delicious. It had the perfect amount of "sabor". The portions are generous but I did order dessert just to try the flan de queso. Zero regrets, it was delicious and unlike any other dessert I've ever had. Just imagine cheesecake merging with flan drizzled with caramel... The service was great, both Spanish & English are spoken here so don't be intimidated if you're not a native. The ambiance is casual with outdoor and semi indoor seating and parking is available.

This place was packed, but after dealing with two people quickly, the greeter set us quickly. She then allowed us to move to a better table, on the terrace overlooking the ocean, when it became available. Our server, Billy, cannot be beat. He made excellent recommendations and described every drink and dish perfectly. We had the mushroom appetizer, which is fantastic, and the shrimp, also highly recommend. For mains we had the salmon, red snapper and mahi mahi, all fantastic and different. Really no need to go into it too much because the menu changes and everything was good. Just ask questions to make sure it fits your savory/sweet and raw/cooked preferences. For drinks, the house White was great and mineral-y, the Mezcal cocktail and rum with pineapple cocktails (new one at very top 2/14/2026) were great. 2 comments...not a fan of Medallia, but Billy recommended ...its natural...got a Michelob...just saying. Also, would've been great to have a little bread with the shrimp because the sauce was so good, my daughter lapped it all up. They are so great over there, pretty sure they would have found a way to accommodate if asked...dont miss this place IMO.

I ordered the conch salad thinking it was $18, but ended up with a $39 version on the bill. It was okay, though a bit more chewy than I prefer, and the portion was huge.

My boys and I decided to walk the shore with the intentions on trying one of the restaurants alongside the beach for lunch and settled on this spot after seeing their ratings. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which was a huge relief given we were in much need of AC. The place wasn't crowded but it had its share of people- deff looked like a popular spot for the locals. Staff were welcoming and seated us promptly. The menu is extensive with so many options to choose from it made it hard to pick. I decided to leave it in the waitresses hand to suggest an app and entree for myself. She recommended the mini acapurrias that came paired with a guava sauce and the shrimp mofongo made from a mixture of sweet plantains and tosotones-it was mouth watering good. I'll have her to blame for the longing I'll have to endure of such an incredible dish. I have personally never finished any mofongo but this one I damn bear licked the plate. The shrimp was juicy, fresh, the garlic not overbearing. The amount of caldo was just portioned so as kiss the amount of mofongo served. My kiddos loved the mini alcapurrias. They were crisp, hot and paired deliciously with the guava sauce. My eldest had the churrasco which he described as being juicy and tender and my little guy had the chicken tenders and fresh cut fries which were a treat. I would absolutely - more like religiously- would return to this spot.

I ate here a few times during my stay and there were really no stand out dishes. Breakfast was probably the best meal I had here - the eggs benedict and steak and eggs were both solid. Coffee here is good, but shockingly priced at $6. The chicken wings here were dry. I ordered one of the specials off the dinner menu, but it was also dry and a bit bland. That said, I really enjoyed the cocktails here, and the staff were very nice and accommodating. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here during your stay, but for a quick meal by the pool it's not bad. Would def recommend breakfast food over any of the other menu items.

I had the Portuguese Steak, which was very good. Wife had a fish dish which is unusual for her. The owner was going from table to table and spent quite a bit of time with us, explaining the name and history of the restaurant. It turns out they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We really enjoyed it and almost went back for breakfast one day but just didn't have the time. Just a note, it's local in a retail strip center and could be deceiving but believe me it's worth a second look. I know you'll enjoy it, and of course the food.

While our waitress was quite nice, she didn't have the background on us as they do on other restaurants, for lack of a better word she had no idea who we were or even if we were staying at the resort. The restaurant was also largely empty, which hurt the ambience. I did greatly enjoy the burrata and pumpkin starter, the flavors worked very well and the burrata was excellent. The lobster was meh, while the flavor was nice and the hollandaise was good, it was not much meat for a 2 lb lobster, no claw meat. Again, not bad but nothing exciting. Overall, it left us a little disappointed and we won't be back.
