Rose Power Restaurant international & Creole — Restaurant in Santo Domingo

This was a nice restaurant close to my hotel with a chill vibe. The server was really friendly. I enjoyed the ambiance and the meal for the most part. One issue, and a warning, is that if you order the lalo with crab, they do not have the nutcracker type utensils to be able to eat crab, you're supposed to crack it, open and eat it with your hands and your teeth. Especially for a tourist, that should have been brought up when placing the order. Another issue is that this restaurant is listed as accepting credit cards, but when I gave them my credit card, they returned it and requested me to pay in cash. Other than those two service defects, my experience was nice, it had a great atmosphere, great location at the entrance to the Casa...

My advice: AVOID 1 egg, 1 slice of ham and 4 pieces of toast cost 300 pesos. 1 lemonade 300 pesos (neither was worth the price). I have NEVER spent that much money on a lemonade. Food was less than average. Service was mediocre at best.

Rarely do I post about a bad experience but there are plenty of other good places close by, easy...

Tried the hatian food. Got the legume. Very flavorful. Service by Angie was excellent. She speaks a bit of English as well. A little pricey for the portion size but your in the colonial zone and it's quality over quantity....
