    Best food of our entire trip, and we ate at some highly-rated restaurants. The fish tacos and the whole fried fish were outstanding.

    Quite slow and some of the staff quite rude. Seemed very disorganized - especially for a Monday night.

    For some reason the service was off tonight. Usually the service is spectacular but seemed like they spent more time running around than providing good service.

    La Palapa ALWAYS exceeds your expectations. The setting, impeccable service, and great selections are amazing. Shout out to John, our waiter. Everything was beautifully paced, no rush, allowing us to enjoy our beautiful surroundings.

    Dined here several times and will again! Great sunset view, service, and food! The sea bass and the shrimp were both delicious! Ask for their skinny breadsticks with your breadbasket, yum!
