Zimple Restaurant & Bar (Steakhouse & Seafood) — Restaurant in Canóvanas

I visited Zimple with my family 2 days ago and we had a great experience. From the person who greets you at the door, our waiter Ricardo to the Chefs on site. Everything we ordered was delicious, and Im not saying this lighly. Texture, flavor balance, presentation, freshness, aunthenticity! Coconut mojito- the best I've ever had and I am half cuban, half puertorrican. App- mini mofongo cups stuffed with skirt steak 5⭐. Mampostiao rice had this smokey flavor like it was cooked in a "fogón", super authentic. The wow dish was the lobster stuffed with seafood, you can easily feed 3 people from that dish. The 5 milk cake was a very good sweet ending. Waiter checked on us many times, refilled waters, drinks promptly, make conversation and jokes with my mom. Recommended entrees, overall very knowledgeable, you can tell he loved his job. Chef accommodated my moms low sodium request. This place is a gem. Definately give it a try while staying in Rio Grande or passing by Canovanas. Thanks for the...

I read the reviews and decided to go but sadly it was very disappointing. First the restaurant wasn't full but it was super loud. Second, they were out of a couple of items in the menu, so we had to change our orders. We ended ordering chorizos al vino with platanutres, which were good but didn't looked or tasted like chorizos. For dinner we ordered octopus with mofongo and pork mignon with arroz mamposteado.

The pork mignon were really boneless pork chops, and you could only taste the guava sauce, other than that the pork itself was flavorless. The rice was the only thing that tasted really good and my drink, but I don't think they added vodka to it. Sadly I can't recommend this restaurant with so many good places...

This place was a huge disappointment. Music and guests so loud downstairs that it impacted communication upstairs. Our waiter seemed as if he couldn’t wait to be done with his shift (which I can understand, but wow). We had to wait a long time for drinks, cups/glasses, and for him to take out order. (restaurant wasn’t busy).Once he took our order he came back to inform that 4 out of 6 dishes ordered were not available, and some of the things we wanted as aubstitution, were not available either. Food was bland, and that is the worst mofongo I have ever tried. Probably they had ran out of salt as well, because, my God! He also forgot to put in my little...
