    This is the second time in the week that we have visited this restaurant. As the meal and service was so good the first time we ordered exactly the same thing again, and the quality was equal to our first visit. The para salad, Tataki, tuna, and red snapper with asparagus and cream potatoes with pesto was outstanding.

    You can always be assured of great service and fine dining with an exceptional view when dining at La Palapa. Our reservation was just before sunset, and the waiter was kind enough to go from table to table to make sure everyone had a perfect photo of their memorable experience.

    Pear Salad, Tataki Tuna, Red Snapper, Pork Mole, and Guava Crème Bulé, we’re all excellent. The lava cake was too sweet for me but no doubt many people would enjoy it immensely. Surface by Gilbert and his assistant Victor were first rate; always attentive, while never hovering. The piped in subtle jazz music did not interfere, and the ocean view and people watching on the boardwalk made for a pleasant evening. We booked a return visit in two days! Highly recommended.
