Overpriced really for what you get.
Features seafood, lobster is easily and often overcooked so tell them to watch it if it is grilled - I suppose boiled would be OK. The bisque is so salty we sent it back, there was no lobster taste whatsoever. - cows were streaming to the table for a lick it was that bad.
At times when the tide is low the smell of the seawater under your feet ( this is built out on piers over the water) can be more like a sewage smell than a sea smell - I would think this is true for any of the on water places on that road.
It's called Neptuno's by the way.
We paid RD$750 a head when the peso was about 22:1 or so , so be warned it must be nearly double that now.
As for dress code I think they'd like you to dress a bit but the tourists were in everything from dressy clothes to bathing suits so don't worry. There is a "VIP" sort of section that I think they only put you if you make the effort and that night it was empty.
The waiters dress like pirates and they do try for classy service but it is pretty DR style and you need to be pretty firm in getting things in order.
They also had live music which was a central american group playing the pan flute etc., quite good.
Do not expect Smith and Wollesnky's or even 25% of that style of dining though.
You get to it by going through the Hamaca Road and past the hotel and it and a guest house and a few other places are on the other side.
You may also want to consider Tula's on the road perpendicular to the Hamaca entrance - outdoor dining and quite fancy looking. After 20 + trips to BC in the past 3 years I have yet to dine there, though.
