Disappointing Experience — Card Compromised After First Use

I visited this bar on a Friday afternoon after a relaxing spa treatment at Zen Vida. My friend and I decided to grab two piña coladas. The staff was still prepping for opening, and a woman with long hair said we could go ahead and order. She called over another female bartender to make the drinks. The bar itself was very busy with two other male staff members behind it, and there was a lot of commotion as they seemed to be preparing for a pageant or event later that day.

Once we got our drinks, I asked for the check. The bartender took my brand-new Capital One Venture card behind the bar, and I waited a while before she brought it back. I didn’t think much of it at the time — we were enjoying the music and the atmosphere, and I even left a tip on top of the total.

But this is where the issue began. That Friday was the very first time I had ever used this new credit card. On Saturday, I saw an odd $0.02 adjustment. By Sunday, a charge alert came through from Shein — an online clothing store I have never used — for $121.47.

Between the loud music and my weak Spanish, I couldn’t make out everything being said behind the bar, but I definitely sensed something was off. Sadly, I now believe that’s when my card information was compromised.

It’s extremely disappointing to have something like this happen inside what appears to be a beautiful, upscale community. I wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, I now associate it with theft and dishonesty. I won’t be returning — and I urge others to be very cautious with how their payment information is...

I went there with my family of 6 for the first time and wasn't totally impressed. The restaurant is really beautiful but, the ambience was blah, kind of boring. It was missing live music or something more upbeat. When it comes to the food; it looked better than it tasted...it was missing seasoning. Additionally, my cousin and I ordered our steak medium and it came black and blue, we ate a bit and left the rest. The service was good. Our server was bilingual and was knowledgeable of the menu. I would still recommend it since they just opened perhaps they will get better with time. Lastly, close by you can visit a better restaurant, Porta...it's a 10/10 in ambience,...

Excellent food. Beautiful atmosphere. Excellent service. Chef Lucas and Sous Chef Nicole prepare delicious food, delivered in awesome presentation. Mike and Pedro at the bar were friendly, and make very good drinks. The servers are all very nice and friendly. The menu is creative, and diverse. We ate grilled chicken on a bed of mashed potatoes, fettuccine with shrimp in oyster sauce, and a smash burger. All were delicious, and perfectly cooked. The brownie sundae with ice cream was also very good. There is an adjoining pool, and the bar will serve you in that area as well. ...
