I wont lie, this has become an annual visit and this visit was the most special of all. We were there for our wedding group and contacted John Gray about bringing a party of 40 in for dinner. He agreed and then proceeded to blow us away with a great night. John put together a special menu doing appetizers and... More

Yes, it can appear pricey compared to most other places in Puerto Morelos, but if compared to other restaurants of the same caliber, then we felt the prices were reasonable. We had a bottle of Mexican red wine, which was surprisingly good. We tried the fish (Dorado) on a mango sauce with mashed potatoes and the mac and cheese with... More

We came to Mexico and stayed at a very nice all inclusive resort just a few miles down the road, there was no reason for us to venture out for a meal but we wanted to experience the night life of the nearby town and we heard a review from a friend of this restaurant so we thought we would... More

Really loved the food. Creative and very tasty. Service excellent. Would return again in a minute. The Tuna and roasted pork should not be missed. I also had grilled fish and my friend Mac and cheese with shrimp.

We first went for lunch on a hot day because we wanted the AC, and went back three more times for breakfast and dinner! Breakfast and lunch are cooked by Danny and served by the marvelous Valorie. Fresh fruit with whipped cream yogurt, American or Mexican style eggs, croissants or tortillas - Danny and Valorie do it all. Dinner was... More

Delightful marguerites to start the meal. Crab cakes melted in your mouth. Duck breast was not quite as good as mine, but the sea bass was perfectly cooked and was well paired with the bright And zingy mango salsa. What a fun evening!

We went for dinner after our snorkel tour and had raved about this restaurant to our friends as a must. We sure hoped it would be as good the second time and we were thrilled with everything. We showed up early but they accommodated us without question. We had the place to ourselves. Jim and I both ordered the mac... More

We ate here 3 times in one week. The food is fabulous! We particularly liked the salads, the crab cakes, and the fresh fish with mango salsa. Great Margaritas also.

10 of us had a wonderful meal here. They accommodated our children with kid friendly versions of menu items. We LOVED the margaritas and everything we ordered was fabulous. Stands outs were the crab cakes and tuna appetizer along with the chicken and shrimp entrees. Everything was so fresh. It was a nice surprise in a sleepy little beach town.... More

Certainly not up to my expectations for 'the best in town'. The meal was good, just 'good'. The prices were way too high for just 'good'.
