Fodor's Review:

As if you were aboard a yola (a small fishing boat), you will feel the gentle breeze blow over the harbor as you dine on a deck overlooking the PuntaCana Marina. Using thatched cane for overhead shelter, and the ocean as a backdrop, the restaurant's decor blends elements of the region's natural marvels to achieve an utterly gratifying open-air dining ambience. Delicious cuisine—with both Mediterranean and Caribbean influences—and attentive service enhance the exceptional experience. Seafood and fish dominate the menu, but you'll also find beef and chicken selections. The chef will accommodate special dietary needs. For an appetizer, the spicy tuna tartare with guacamole relish starts you off with a pleasing burst of flavor and satisfying texture. Main plates, including the catch of the day—usually red snapper, grouper, or mahimahi—are artfully prepared and presented. Baked Chilean sea bass with clam and cherry tomato risotto is a savory special.
