El Mesón de la Cava - Santo Domingo

Mike Anthony

We had a great time at this local gem. The atmosphere is unique and breathtaking. Our server was very attentive to our needs. We enjoyed the flavor and freshness of the food. The hostesses weren’t very friendly upon arrival and departure and for that reason, I’ll leave a 4 star review. But overall, I’d visit again.

From the we walked into this gorgeous location we knew it was going to be special. Coming downstairs to the cave, we went ahead and took the stairs instead of taking the elevator. It is so cozy down here and everything from the appetizer to the drinks to dessert. You must try the baked coconut fudge!! Everything in the menu was great! Will come back definitely.

lets just say people come here for the ambiance, not the food. Food leans more Italian, but the pasta sauces have way too much cheese. We ordered the chicken shrimp mushroom penne, and midway through finishing the cheese hardened. Eggplant Parmesan was ok. Caesar salad was def. packaged. Not worth the visit.

Sitting inside the case has a dress code - no shorts. Service was decent. Some English speaking servers.

The restaurant is cute and would have to come back for a proper review. Our initial experience suck.

We called to get reservations. We were told that we would get reservation confirmation through WhatsApp. We show up to the front desk, and only then we were told that there isn’t reservation. Only available seating garden seating. The lady in the front attitude sucked.

Follow through with your customers and tell them they will not have availability within the inside of the cave.

The environment is beautiful.

The restaurants is very nice.
Has an unique atmosphere because it’s in a cave, also has a terrace above the cave in case you want to be in the open space.
Of course for me the interesting feature of this place is the cave so every time I go there I reserve a table inside the cave.
The food is very tasty.
They offer a big variety of wines.
The steak is always good abs fresh.
The staff is sweet.
They don’t have parking lot but you can park by the streets.
They are open from lunch till dinner.

This was my second time eating here and definitely won’t be my last. Each dish is delicious and carefully prepared. The staff is sweet and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy inside the cave, you get to see artifacts that belong to the Taínos. I highly recommend!

My girlfriend and I had a great experience dining inside the cave here. It was our first time, I do recommend making a reservation as we did before going. The prices are high and I also recommend going earlier in the day as I was very disappointed at not getting what I wanted as I was looking forward to ordering the ribeye and they were out. That's the reason for the 4-stars. Because of that, it was just a great experience nonetheless. Great for a special occasion. I'm not sure if we will return as if I'm paying those prices, I want to get what I came for and not settle for less. The staff are very attentive and the atmosphere is picturesque

It’s a real cave. Nicely decorated. Romantic setting. Food is pretty good too but this place all about the setting. Not in to taking pics at dinner? Hit me up if you were able to resist. Enjoy
