Steak House Restaurant — Restaurant in Playa del Carmen

This generic Steak House was part of Ocean Riviera Paradise resort. The 6 of us had a variety of dishes and drinks. Some of the highlights: Wine tasted like vinegar. And tasted flat from sitting out in jars all night. Food was only warm by the time it was served to us. Seems like it was sitting on the table while the rest of the dishes were cooked. Food, like the rest of the resort restaurants, were bad. Food was not seasoned and lacking flavor. The steak was thin. Everything was dry. They try to spin "art" on the dish but my attached pictures shows how ridiculous it looks. Example - the calamari said it came with a "tar tar sauce" but it really drops of liquid on under the calamari.

Some other things they advertise seemed true - menu items marked locally sourced seemed fresher but not fresh like farmed...

Fairly decent overall, main courses left more to be desired though. Service was great as is consistent across the resort. Ambiance was very nice as well.
