Rita's Café - Santo Domingo

Delicious food, noble ambience a hidden gem. Not as popular as Pate e' Palo, but a great option to be quiet. The restaurant has 3 floors, so you can choose the best area according to your entertainment needs. It serves international cuisine and a wide range of alcohol. Desserts are delicious. Something overpriced, but the great view of the Alcazar and delicious food makes it worthy.

Wish I could give half stars, if so I'd give 2.5 stars. Food was delivered to the table lukewarm at best. Waiter responded promptly and returned with a new plate with another steak and mashed potatoes that were just as cold. I'm not sure why it was so cold if it just came from the kitchen did they put it in a blast freezer? Portion sizes are small for what you pay for and flavor is lacking you're paying for the location. On the plus side, the Sangria was very good

Pricey and the service is not in its game. Not the worst choice I've made but not the best start to my vacation either :

While the dishes looks nice, unfortunately the taste is not that good. The meat is not done professionally.. it come out too cooked and dry. As if unfrozen by a microwave. And the prices are are way too expensive for what you get. I recommend you visit Pat’e Palo next door..

The food and drinks are great and the staff. The view of the Alcazar de Colon is unpaid. My favorite place to visit when I'm in Santo Domingo. Very recommended.
