El Restaurante en Punta Morro — Restaurant in Ensenada

I was here with my wife, our son and nephew on 4/24/2021. I called in the morning around 10am to make a reservation for 6pm that night. I spoke with someone at the restaurant, they took my information and confirmed my reservation for 4 people. When we showed up at 5:30pm, we were told we didn't have a reservation and that they were full. They were not apologetic about it at all. In fact, I felt like they handle the situation very poorly, especially considering this is supposed to be a high class restaurant. They setup a small plastic folding table in the expanded area, in the corner, with no view and said we could eat their. Pretty terrible in my opinion. The server asked us what we wanted to drink as we were sitting down. We didn't even have a chance to review a drink menu or list. The service was ok and didn't live up to the prices they charge. The food was good, but not extravagant. My Rib eye was not cooked to order. I ordered medium but received it nearly well done. My wife enjoyed her Salmon. The restaurant has a semi-formal dress code, saying no shorts or t-shirts or sandals, but I saw a couple guests with shorts and t-shirts. The prices are high, so be prepared to spend a couple hundred dollars on dinner, in Mexico. Expect San Diego downtown restaurant pricing. But what you are really paying for, if they don't lose your reservation, is the view, if you are lucky enough to be seated in the main formal area at a window table. I am not sure that I can recommend and I am not sure if we will go back. We can eat in Coronado, similar views, better service, equal or better food and...

This is a hidden jewel at Ensenada. "El Restaurante" offers to their costumers a very cozy ambiance with spectacular views to the Pacific Ocean where you can see how the waves crashes into the rocks that are near the restaurant. This is an ideal place to come for a romantic dinner, large group or family. Their installations are spotless, the menu ranges from seafood, poultry and cuts of meat and have a wide selection of wines from the area. We have arrived just in time to enjoy the golden hour and see a beautiful sunset. The waiter told us that they offered brunch every weekend from 9:00 to 12:00 and it's crowded regularly so you have to wait if you get here after 10:30 am. The price is very reasonable considering all the good things that this...

My boyfriend and I came here for a date night. Service was a bit underwhelming, not the type of service I expect for the price at a place in Mexico, although setting is very beautiful. The food was not terrible but was just ok. Again not what I expected for such an expensive place. We ordered salmon sashimi(good), empanada (ok/ overcooked and could barely cut thru it with a knife), and 2 lobster enchiladas (good/ again a bit over cooked and crunchy). Also the drinks were pretty terrible. I ordered a mojito and didn’t finish it and then Margarita, both were not very good. Overall i expected a lot more and was kind of disappointed. The service was subpar and food was forgettable. I say skip and spend your...
