Yesterday I saw a new restaurant in Costambar, just across from Barcode. Anybody has visited it?

The problem I see in this post is people want to know where are the good restaurants in the Puerto Plata area.

I like the "Tres Cocos" in las Rocas where the owner [I believe Austrian] still cooks and the prices are reasonable. The Dominican restaurant "Sonrisa" on Av 27th de Augusto about 200 yards down from the public hospital. This lady is a Dominican from New York and has catered a couple parties for me with great results. The last I recommend is Quo Vadis on Av Luis Ginebra about 1/2 mile past the police station on your right as you go towards the baseball stadium. They have a mixed menu reasonably priced and at lunch time is very busy with Dominican businessmen.

It's called Ambiente & we've been there several times already.

The food is good - we've not sent anything back yet!

The portions aren't huge & that is reflected in the prices.

Drink prices are the cheapest of the Costambar restaurants we've been to - cheaper than most bars in town too.

The toilets are clean & flush.

We went there the other day, didnt eat as they had no written menu, only a couple of dishes with all the same price, beer was warm so never returned.
Hopefully they get their act together and i am sure it will work out for them, I like the terrace outside.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Chris and Maddys in Cofresi. I've never had a bad meal there.

Are you talking about the Chinese restaraunt Weng Yeng ? if so its excellent, or is it the other one near to the Malecon ? , both good in my experience

It's very average i my opinion & over-priced.

Oh & the service leaves somewhat to be desired.

no one mentioned it until you did, I think, because most of the others mentioned are different sorts of restaurants. C & M cater to more of an international crowd than most of the places mentioned. It's true the prices are not in line with most of the other places mentioned but you will very rarely if ever get an undersized lobster, warm beer, the same dish returned to you afer you send it back, a cesspool odor from the rest room, a one hour wait for a basic dish, be ignored by the staff, have to scream your order over the deafening and scratchy sound coming from long ruined speakers, or any of the other familiar annoyances that all of you are nodding your heads to just now.

It's a nice family run operation and the setting is relaxing. You may pay less elsewhere but it might be worth a little more if you don't already have ameoba. On the other hand, I kind of like the fish shacks south of Cofresi.
