Hands down one of the worst restaurants on the entire property when it comes to dinner. The waiter started out very well, coming over very quickly after being seated and taking drink orders. He kept the drinks refilled and took our order. Salads in the melted cheese bowl came out fairly quickly, as well as our appetizer. After that, it went down hill fast we were seated at 800pm our main courses didn't come out till 940pm and there were only a handful of people in the restaurant. All our orders came out cooked very badly we all ordered our steaks cooked medium they all came out medium rare to rare. I asked for mine to be fixed as I don't care for rare and was not what I had ordered. Our server took it back, and in under 5 minutes, it was back on the table less pink but was not recooked or made new, just microwaved. I am sure of this as it was very easy to cut and tender ribeye when it came out rare and in under 5 mins came out medium but tough as rubber. Told the waiter I didn't care for it, and no response was given and was left there with no other offer or choices given. Drink refills stopped coming, and even after asking for them, they were never brought out. Came around asking if anyone would like dessert so the family and i ordered some desserts, and the waiter only brought out two of them and didn't bring mine. When asked the staff that brought them about the missing dessert, they said oh did you want one as well. At that point, we had enough asked for the check and left. The inside of this restaurant is very well done, and the ocean and church views are beautiful. However, the dinner staff and the very poor quality food ruined anything it had to offer. Even with the all-inclusive plans they have, I wouldn't waste your time going here. You will leave hungry and disappointed trying to find something else to eat. If you don't have the all-inclusive plan, save your money. The 300 dollar bill for 3 people will just make you mad. Don't ruin your trip. Eat...
Read moreMy profile picture was taken 2 years ago at Mestizo del Mar. We had 2 exceptional meals here. Wow, what a disappointment this time. The service was horrible, un attentive, waited over 20 minutes before waiter approached table and things did not improve. I told waiter 3 times my salad and soup order were my dinner. And he still brought out my salad with my son and husbands salad. They ordered ceasar salads that were a soup of dressing with a few pieces of lettuce. Disappointing, last time the waiter did a beautiful preparation of making the dressing and salad table side. Presentation of dishes was not existent. Food portions were very small. My son's chicken curry was in a small soup bowl with a side order of white rice. My husband's new york strip outside was 1/4" gristle, with no seasoning. The cheesecake was supposed to have a fruit compote, it was a nice size of cheesecake with no compote. When we asked the waiter for the compote, he delivered a look of disgust. He then took the cheesecake and brought it back with 6 berries, no compote. Extremely, disappointed, we...
Read moreWe actually ate at Mestizo multiple times during our most recent trip. The breakfast we ate was fantastic, service was great and the views were amazing. We had omelets and steak with chilaquiles and loved them. Our first dinner at the resort was here and it was a good way to start the trip. We ordered several appetizers and loved the coconut shrimp and you HAVE to get the caesar salad as they prepare the dressing tableside and it's amazing. We also had the surf and turf and each of us that got it were let down. The lobster just wasn't cooked properly and the steak was a decent size and thickness, but it almost seemed like it had been tenderized and was mushy. The second time we switched it up and got grilled shrimp and a different steak and while good it was nothing mind blowing. Unfortunately, on both of our dinner trips our service was slow and our waiters never seemed to be in a good mood. They are trying to be a fine dining experience but before that can happen some improvements...
