Question Cafe Cito?

We will be at the Coral Marien 3/22/03. I have made reservations at the Cafe Cito for 3/24/03. Does anyone have any comments about the Cafe Cito. Customer comments on there web site are very positive! Any other suggestions?

I was there last August, two times...it's located right in front of the home where I stayed.

We enjoyed both lunch (chicken caesar salad) and dinner (steak with sauteed vegetables served with yummy spicy mango sauce.) It was pretty close to US pricing but good service, good atmosphere. I think you will be pleased, it is right off the highway but it is nice (candles, tablecloths, nice plants around and a nice bar area.) Great tzatziki (sp) sauce, too!!

Across from them is "El Manguito" and there we had great food, the atmosphere was not as nice but it was delicious. (Kabobs and sea turtle--but now that I know the deal with the turtle I won't tell you to eat it--even though it was amazing.)

I had the worst 4 dollar glass of wine I have ever had. Other than that I can't help you. Drank a sip and left.

TERRIBLE. Priced high. Obnoxious people. Many better places to eat in both Puerto Plata and Sosua for 1/2 the price.

Thumbs up Cafe Cito

We eat here regularly. Hamburgers, garlic bread and pork chops are especially good. We've never been disappointed and are always treated well. Prices are reasonable although you're sure to find local fare for much less. Of course if you want something familiar you won't be disappointed.

Thank you all for the information. I will write a trip report upon our return home containing my impressions of the Cafe Cito.
Thanks
