   Juan Carlos ensured we had an amazing experience. The food was incredible and I put on the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and they put birthday balloons and sand that said HBD near the table by the edge of the restaurant. A very thoughtful staff that we are extremely appreciative of. Thank you for a great night!

   This restaurant was reputed to be among the best in Punta Cana. The location and physical space are attractive, but after that, it falls down on the job and miserably so. When we arrived, we were brusquely asked what type of water we wanted before our butts were even on the chairs. We asked for sparkling and received flat. This of course got corrected, but the individual seemed annoyed at having to fix it. We ordered a starter that included cilantro pesto sauce. When the starter arrived, no such sauce was present. We inquired with the server and he seemed dumbfounded. About 10 minutes passed, and a tablespoon or two of overly puréed, practically tasteless cilantro sauce was dropped off. About five minutes before our entrées were delivered, I ordered a glass of Chardonnay. Twenty minutes later, it still had not arrived. We opted to go directly to the bar since the server was nowhere to be found, and the bartender was not aware of the order. The bartender seemed rather nonchalant in addressing it. Moments later, the server arrived at the table with a bottle of white wine that was not Chardonnay. I of course mentioned it and did eventually get the Chardonnay. My entrée consisted of a tiny portion of overly cooked red snapper with what was supposed to be garlic sauce (it was only melted butter with parsley). Most of these things were clearly minor mishaps, but the frequency was clearly not commensurate with a restaurant that is purported to be of such high caliber. To add insult to injury, none of the errors were appropriately handled - staff seemed obviously annoyed, and there was not one apology at any point. Had the food quality been a different story maybe I would be more forgiving, but everything we ordered was marginal at best.
