MORENA LOUNGE BEACH/ SUNSET/ BY THE SEA/ LIVE MUSIC — Restaurant in Cartagena

Came here several times over the course of my 11 days in Cartagena.

The first time. We came for brunch and enjoyed some typical items. Not mind-blowing, but really excellent. The cocktails were great and the atmosphere is second to none. They have the best mojito I've ever had. Really special.

The second visit, we came for dinner with 4. The food is exceptional. I'm a chef in the United States and I was impressed by the plating, the depth of flavor and the use of ingredients. My niece had the ribs and they were exceptional. My wife was celebrating her birthday and they made a huge deal about it. The live entertainment sangre happy birthday, they brought out firecrackers on a dessert we ordered. It was awesome.

The third visit was the best. The owner came out to speak with us after having seen us there 3 times. I paid my compliments on the restaurant and we enjoyed another exceptional meal. We were a party of 6 this time as my in-laws joined us. The seafood rice I had (I forgot the name of the dish) was one of the top 10 best things I've ever eaten.

Can't say enough great things about this place. Every detail is just right. The only negative. critique I could have is thst the servers aren't as attentive as what I'm accustomed to in the United States. I highly recommend this place - any day, any time. You won't be...

Unfortunately my review of this place will be limited. I wish I could write to you too inform you about the food, drinks or even the hospitality of the staff but we were not served.

In February of 2023 we visited this place while vacationing in Cartagena and boy do we regret it because of the EXTREMELY rude interactions we had with the staff.

I would say rude service but we were not served so I’m referring to our experience as an interaction.

When we arrived we were seated immediately but unfortunately that’s where it ended. After a very long wait (when I say long I mean long) the server came over. She was not nice we put in an order for two drinks and three bites to eat.

We waited and waited…47 minutes later one drink came out and it was wrong, it wasn’t our drink. We were there a total of 1 hour and 22 minutes and the only thing we received from our order was the one wrong drink. THAT WAS NEVER CORRECTED. We never received the food or the other drink.

The place was not busy at all. I would never write a negative review if the staff were busy and could not serve us right away.

It unfortunate because the place itself is a great place to take photos. We took Photos at the entrance before this disappointing experience.

We will be back in Cartagena at the end of this month but we will not be going back there. It’s just...

My experience at Morena Cartagena was truly magical. The interior was absolutely stunning, with romantic undertones and warm, intimate lighting that set the perfect mood. Every corner of the space felt thoughtfully designed, creating an ambiance that was both elegant and inviting.

The live performances added a dynamic energy to the evening, enhancing the experience with vibrant music and entertainment that perfectly complemented the restaurant’s atmosphere. It felt like being transported into a world where culture, rhythm, and fine dining intertwined effortlessly.

The menu was a delightful fusion of flavors, offering a range of carefully curated dishes that were as visually appealing as they were delicious. From fresh seafood to beautifully plated meats and flavorful vegetarian options, every bite was an experience in itself.

The staff was incredibly hospitable, ensuring that every guest felt welcomed and taken care of with genuine warmth and attentiveness. Their service elevated the entire experience, making it clear that Morena is not just about dining—it's about indulging in an unforgettable moment.

Overall, the ambiance, music, food, and exceptional service make Morena Cartagena a must-visit for anyone looking for a truly immersive and enchanting...
