Fodor's Expert Review Restaurant Bocas Del Mar

This poolside restaurant on the lower level of Hotel Bocas Del Mar has ocean views and an elegant yet relaxed dining area. Each morning, local fishermen deliver the daily catch that transforms into beautifully prepared plates of ceviche, garlic shrimp, grilled lobster, and seared tuna with linguine. The chilled salmorejo soup topped with serrano is an excellent starter, as is the Greek salad, which is large enough to share. The filet mignon with mushroom sauce comes with shoestring fries, and the grilled fish is served with a side of rice and vegetables. Vegetarians will appreciate the pasta primavera or the veggie tower stacked with eggplant, zucchini, tomato, and mozzarella. Save room for the crêpe suzette filled with vanilla ice cream.
