Great place ! Food is awesome, nice atmosphere and family friendly, also great for just a drink. This is one of the most decent Spanish place in Providence.
Will absolutely come back. They have a very good selection of food. The staff were friendly. There was one hiccup were one of the food orders were wrong. But the staff were able to very apologetic and nice. We got free appetizers for that - and it came without asking. A very nice touch. The food was amazinggg. Get the pastelitos. Every kind lol. The drinks were very good. Reservations were recommended because it is a small restaurant and COVID has limited the options. Family friendly. You can see the whole kitchen. Parking on the street but you can find plenty !
Every time I come here it's such a great experience. The drinks are amazing, the food is on point, and the servers are great. This is probably the best frutti de Mari I've had, the sauce was flavorful and there was a great amount of seafood in it. The passion fruit sangria was strong in the alcohol but not to the point where you'd cringe, it was very fruity and tropical tasting. Our server was amazing as well, he was very polite and attentive. I will definitely continue coming here.
Great food and drinks presentation! Went with a group of friends fand we're treated excellent specially from the Chef Julissa. It was our first time and we got lucky with the Half off Wednesday's for Sangria and appetizers!
Awesome find! You would never know it's there if you're just walking down the street. My friend and I actually went to Punta Cana on vacation and this brought us right back. Everything seemed super authentic. We didn't get a chance to try the food but the drinks were some of the best I've had. They took a very long time to make but it was worth it after tasting them. We tried the caipirinha which is made with a Dominican rum. I had passion fruit flavor and my friend got strawberry - both amazing! The mojitos were awesome too, I recommend the kiwi. The decor was really nice and our waitress was really friendly and helpful. It was pretty quiet inside but we went on a Wednesday after work which is probably why. Will definitely be back!
My family and i went to Punta Cana Bistro on my birthday. I had heard about it and seen pictures on instagram, and for months had been looking to go! It did nor disappoint! The food and drinks were great! Wait staff was nice (though they didn't speak a lot of English, good thing we understand spanish, but maybe other waiters there speak better english). My sister and i decided to split a platter that came with chicken, meat, seafood, and fried plantains. My father got the salmon with mashed Yuca; my mom got a chicken dish and my brother in law a steak dish. Everything was very flavorful, nicely cooked! We loved it! The drinks were awesome though i didn't see a drink menu, so i asked/showed them pictures i saw in Instagram. I had a coconut caipirinha and a passion fruit/coconut mojito. Loved them both! We had a couple deserts to share. I would definitely return and would recommend them to my friends!
