Coyaba Restaurant
Coyaba Restaurant Review
Directly behind Grace Bay Club and next to Caribbean Paradise Inn, this posh eatery serves nostalgic favorites with tempting twists in conversation-piece crockery and in a palm-fringed setting. Chef Paul Newman uses his culinary expertise for the daily-changing main courses, which include exquisitely presented dishes such as crispy, whole, yellow snapper fried in Thai spices. One standout is lobster thermidor in a Dijon-mushroom cream sauce. Try several different appetizers instead of a single more expensive entrée for dinner; guava-and-tamarind barbecue ribs and coconut-shrimp tempura are two good choices if you go that route. If you enjoy creative menus, this is the place for you. Chef Paul keeps the resident expat crowd happy with traditional favorites such as lemon meringue pie, albeit with his own tropical twist. Don't skip dessert; Paul makes the most incredible chocolate fondant you will ever have. The service here is seamless.

We have heard so many great things about this restaurant and I am most puzzled as to the positive feedback. We were immediately turned off by the frosty attitude of the staff at the restaurant - the woman that greeted us was snippy, condescending and well, rude. The food was okay but our experience with the haughty staff made us more critical than we would normally be. This restaurant is expensive - other restaurants in this price range are much better bets (Grace's Cottage, O'Soleil, Parallel 23. Great food in all instances and they acted like they WANTED us and our money in their establishment. A note to Coyaba...there is a recession and you are in a tourist industry...an attitude adjustment should be a part of your business plan.

can't imagine why this place is so well rated as it really is extremely expensive and food is just so-so. The owners are extremely rude and attempt to make you feel like THEY are doing YOU a favor by being open. There are so many great restaurants on this island, don't bother paying top dollar for at-best mediocre food. For some real decent food, ambiance and service, head over to Coco Bistro, Caicos Cafe, Mango Reef, or Grace's Cottage, or Parallel 23 at the Regent Palms, or Simba at the Turks and Caicos Club, or Baci or Sharkbite, the list goes on....

Coyoba is my favorite place to dine on Provo. Having lived in Chicago and New York, I've dined at my fair share of excellent restaurants but Coyoba still remains in my top five favorite places. The atmosphere is great, the food is excellent and the staff has always been friendly. Definitely don't miss out on the apple tart dessert.
