    I had the pleasure of dining at San Remo today with my niece, and I was thoroughly impressed. The service was excellent—every staff member was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome throughout our visit. The food was equally delightful, with every dish beautifully presented and full of flavor. The ambiance added to the experience, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend San Remo for anyone looking for great food and exceptional service. I will definitely be returning!

    good food, good service, nice lively atmosphere. Staff particularly very attentive. Will certainly be back! We ate simply (still stuffed from the holiday). White pizza with hot honey; caeser salads; lobster bisque; ravioli. All excellent. One of our party left a bag--staff called within minutes (thanks to our contact info in OpenTable!). Truly appreciated the effort.

    I always enjoy coming to Dunns River. The music is good, the food is amazing and it’s the only sit down Caribbean experience that is top tier compared to the normal hole in the wall establishments with the plex glass separating the customers. Home run for date night. My only wish is that the music isn’t so loud all the time. It’s so hard to have a conversation. I stayed away from Friday & Saturday and picked a weekday date night thinking it would be a quieter background noise kind of night. Nope. We were still shouting at each other. After our meal we ending up walking around in the rain so we could hear each other lol. Something to consider for management maybe.
