While on vacation in Punta Cana, went to this restaurant for dinner with family the service was less than standard. Our waiter was very rude. When we reached out to the manager to voice our complaint he totally ignored us. Never again

Based on TA reviews, we decided to walk down to this restaurant for lunch one hot sunny afternoon. Restaurant is located off the beachfront, but with amazing views. Restaurant itself was clean, and has potential for great ambience but the food and staff downgraded it....Staff itself were okay, they weren't over friendly nor welcoming. They seemed to lazy to cater to their guests and spent most of their time hunched in a group by the bar counter. Didn't have local Dominican beer (Presidente) so had to go for Mexican beer which was annoying. The food itself was okay, it wasn't anything extraordinary as many reviews suggest. We had fried calamari, seafood paella amongst others. For the price of the dishes, we expected a lot more. Would suggest you review the menu before you make a trip there to determine whether you want to risk spending your money on an over priced beachfront restaurant. Family of 4 (two adults, two kids) cost us $190 for lunch.More

The food was very average and very expensive. The location is good but I wouldn’t go again. We actually went because of the reviews but the food was not great.

I celebrated my 40th Birthday in DR and planned a dinner party at the Jellyfish for all my guests. My experience with the staff at this venue has been nothing short of amazing! From start to finish my experience was top tier. Everyon I worked...with was responsive and informative. My decorations were executed beautifully and the food was phenomenal! The food was so good my family wanted to visit the next day but they were booked. All my guests enjoyed every moment. Whenever I’m in DR, I will be sure to visit the jellyfish again. Thank everyone for your hard work and dedication to make my birthday dinner one to remember!More

Beautiful location and very relaxing atmosphere. The food was pretty good and our server was excellent. I had the sirloin with sauteed potatoes which was very flavorful. The steak was a bit over medium rare but still good. I would definitely return

Decided to take my partner here for a birthday meal. The Scenery is beautiful-best part of our lunch was the view. We ordered the Cajun shrimp as a sharing starter, it was ok Didn’t taste very fresh. For the main we for the seafood platter...the octopus, conk and shrimp where chopped up small and over fried together- they where so chewy and bland. We had 4 lobsters which where ok they were not cool with any seasoning so lacked that extra wow. The garlic butter was like melted margarine with stale garlic had to add a lot of salt. We ordered rice to accompany and it was half cooked and stodgy. We finished off with a birthday cake that was 10$ they brought it out with a sparkler which was nice. But the cake it self was very thin slice and dry as a brick. The cocktails we had where lovely. Spent 180$ equivalent to £130, was not worth it at all as I said the best part of this birthday lunch was the view. Also we got food poising that evening and we had only eaten this. So I would avoid at all costs.More

I am pretty sure they do. We were there at night (dark) and it was a windy evening so they had canvas walls around the tables. I am not positive, but think they do have tables by the water.

Hi, I don’t recall seeing a kid’s menu when I visited - but things may have changed since August 2022. That said, I found them to be very accommodating so ring ahead and ask them!
