Surf & Turf — Restaurant in Higüey

Mixed Experience at Surf & Turf at the Finest Resort. I recently dined at this restaurant during my stay, expecting a delicious meal. Unfortunately, the service was considerably slower than at other restaurants within the resort. Despite the service, the food had some highlights. The grouper and beef tacos were particularly tasty, with nicely seasoned and crispy shells. However, due to a lack of shrimp available that particular night , I was offered a lobster tail as a substitute for my ribeye and shrimp dish. While the ribeye was well-seasoned and a good size, the lobster tail was underwhelming. It lacked seasoning and, as evidenced by the photo, contained very little meat.

Overall: Given the availability of other excellent dining options within the Finest Resort, I would likely skip Surf & Turf on future visits. Perhaps my experience was simply due to an off night.

Key Strengths: Tasty grouper and beef tacos Areas for Improvement: Slow service Disappointing...

The seafood flavour in the Mac was overwhelming and it didn't need the flying fish roe on top. I actually picked out the langostiens and just ate the noodles. The lobster bisque did have a nice flavour though. For entree's I had the ribeye with shrimp and my husband had the salmon and duck breast. Both were exceptional except my shrimp. The food presentation was also on point. This restaurant has a modern city atmosphere. I wouldn't call it a romantic vibe though. I also don't recommend the hazelnut dessert thing, it's just a ball of raisins and soft unpleasant...

The food was delicious. The staff celebrated our anniversary by setting the table with balloons and a bottle of sparkling wine. They sang to us and made everything special start to finish. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The portions were also perfect. Highly recommend the lobster chowder, coral salad, and the beef and scallops. Thank you to the staff for a...
