Recently enjoyed dinner here while staying in Dorado. The dining room is intimate and tastefully decorated. The menu is varied with each dish having a local Puerto Rican touch. Service was exceptional. Miguel, our waiter, was terrific. He was able to describe how the chef prepared various dishes. We were not disappointed in our choices. Great wine list as well.

The restaurant is very beautiful but a bit cold to my taste. Food and service is not superb for the price. Bar is nice but they charge a bit too much.

This restaurant has a small intimate setting which is nice. I highly recommend the ceviche, spinach salad & lamb chops. The scallops were not very good so steal clear. Wine list is also good with reasonably priced options. Warm bread is also served here when you sit down which is rare in PR.

Everything we had was great but 2 things absolutely stood out. Tuna tartar not only highly delicious the presentation in dry ice was fantastic. Also exceptional - the crab cake!

We've been to this restaurant before and its been very good. this time we were not told in advance that they were serving only one item on the menu. While we all were okay with that, the food was only average and somewhat overpriced.

Located at the Dorado Plantation Golf Course Club House, above the pro shop....Beautiful room, inviting atmosphere, great service and attention to detail. The food was very good. Better than most other restaurants in Dorado. Also, more expensive than most others in the area...It seemed that most of the people dining here were staying at the Ritz Carlton and had arrived...

We chose Zafra after reading reviews. We've been less than impressed with level of service and quality of food since arriving a few days ago. We were thrilled tonight with the food at Zafra, which was excellent!! Miguel treated us like royalty. The atmosphere was very nice. The price was appropriate for level service and quality. This is a definately... More

Creations from Chef Cedeño on a daily basis never cease to amaze me. Although price is above average the quality of the food, the comfy and luxury but lay back place made this a great experience. The personnel is just the ABSOLUTELY BEST!!! I go almost weekly!!
