Santo Domingo


This popular family-friendly chain occupies a spectacular location overlooking the Caribbean. Waiters scurry throughout the two floors and outdoor dining area doling out Dominican specialties such as mofongo (mashed plantains with meat) as well as standard meat dishes. An inexpensive buffet is another option and the fruit drinks hit the spot. There are three other outposts in Santo Domingo.
