Fodor's Review:

The unassuming charm of this adorable whitewashed restaurant can rival relaxed beachfront dining anywhere in the world. What sets it apart from its similar brethren on Pubelo de los Pescadores—eight side-by-side restaurants set up on wooden floorboards supported by stilts above the sand on Playa Las Terrenas—is the care of its French and Spanish owners Denise Cheynesy and Willy Barrera. You can guess that it's Denise's hand in little touches like perfume in the bathroom, the ginger and bougainvilliea on the tables, and the white wooden trim, a rare attempt at daintiness in the Dominican Republic. Specials are presented on a chalkboard with an ornamental border and might feature "sun-inspired" dishes like beignet de flores zucchini, sunny yellow zucchini blossoms deep-fried to golden, crispy perfection. Tuna steak is served sesame-crusted with a soy-based sauce, along with ratatouillee, green beans, and white rice. A surprisingly good wine selection is stored in a wine refrigerator.
