This dining room, which was built by Catholic medics in 1947, has a certain charm, like an old black-and-white movie. It's an upscale restaurant and considered pricey by Barahona standards. Appetizers, such as the flavorful pumpkin soup, are well priced. Fresh fish is the obvious choice here, with shellfish a known specialty. A French expat always orders either the paella (for two) or the wonderful garlicky parrilla mixta for two, which has two grilled lobsters, squid, shrimp, and lambi (for about $20). That is living la vida buena! The restaurant is on a knoll with a loop of a driveway at the end of the seafront; the views of the water are best from the open-air terrace.
