Isla Grill — Restaurant in Parroquia Puerto Ayora

I ate here today and there are a couple of things that need updating on Google. The business name had changed, the menu has changed. It is now a Thai Italian fusion place called Nahm. And it is not where google map shows it, it is attached to the Angermeyer Waterfront Inn and has to be reached via water taxi for $1 each way.

I had the pad Thai and it was mediocre. It isn't representative of pad Thai generally, it comes with zucchini and portabella and Italian flour noodles as opposed to Thai rice noodles. The flavor is thai-like, but not really Thai.

The ginger mojito was watery and they didn't have Bellinis so I opted for a champagne and it wasn't great.

The view is why you come here plus...

Went here twice while on Santa Cruz. My kids really liked the mixed grilled meat platter for 2 for $42. But in it, they would only eat the steak and chicken. The pork chop was tough. Sausage in it was… soft, but no snap when you bite into it. I got the steak, it was very expensive, but turns out it was a T-bone steak. We also got the kids grilled chicken and it was very tender and juicy. Delicious. The avocado toast with grilled chicken was good. All the staff speak perfect English.

Overall it is a nice fancy restaurant for a bunch of tourists. Very overpriced. I just felt that the menu should have had more vegetarian options. I would have loved a pasta with vegetables and some butter...

Food was very good. Yet we first had to wait (even though we booked) 40 min for our table. Then we were seated in the second row of tables a little away from the sea despite asking in our booking to be seated at the front such that we can see animals... which is kind of the point of the restaurant - to see the baby sharks etc up close. When we asked to be placed differently they said it is not possible even though 5 min after we sat down at our table - seating at the front became available. The reaction to us pointing the mistake out wasn't great (the head of service just pointed out that we also had sea view and hence shouldn't complain) - so we wouldn't return to...
