sat at the bar and watched the place (El Lugar!) fill up with people, the staff had hustle and clearly customer service rules here. Great cocktails and little extras, we had a delish take on ceviche and would definitely make reservations for dinner next time we're in town, based on the customer service we received and saw during our quick stop in.

Maybe we came in too early for dinner? 6pm, only guests there, I order some combination seafood dish, I may have enjoyed if the steak they brought out for my wife didn’t attract a massive amount of flies. Later on after thinking about it, I question if the steak was rotten? I payed we left and thats my experience.
SCARY MASSIVE!response / report this review -

Excellent service, familial atmosphere and one of the best grilled steaks I've had so far. The blue cheese sauce and the perfectly glazed onions are simply mouthwatering (try the Mojito there, too). And don't miss the belgium chocolate desserts. We stayed in Las Terrenas for a week and even
went twice during that time. Top Quality for a fair price and a friendly manager who really knows what he is doing.response / report this review -

Over all we had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly and the owners make it a point to greet everyone and shake his/ her hand. The food is exquisite. I can be pretty harsh when judging food and there are only a handful of places in the area that I would say are good. El Lugar has the best meal I have had in the country so far. The steaks are amazing and are complemented with excellent sauces and served with perfectly caramelized onions.

Service was excellent, food was delicious, and the setting was gorgeous. We got drinks, appetizers, entre, sides, and dessert shots all for under 30USD, couldn't have asked for a better dinner!

This definitely "El lugar" to eat at if you go to Las terrenas!! The owner greeted us and waited on us. He created such a great atmosphere. Every dish that we tried was so tasteful and delicious. Best food I ate in the DR hands down!!

Service was great! The chocolate fondant was rich, but it felt like something was missing.

My husband and I dined at El Lugar based on a recommendation from the hotel we were staying at in Samana. They said the food was good and the drinks were great. It turned out that that wasn't really true.
First, it cost us $40 roundtrip to get there by private taxi. We figured it would be worth it if the food was outstanding. While we appreciated the complementary appetizer of onion rings and fried cheese, and found our Mojitos to be good, nothing was outstanding. We ordered calamari/squid to share and then I had a cheeseburger (based on the rave reviews of El Lugar's beef and burgers) and my husband ordered the grilled lamb. The calamari was tender, our grilled vegetables with truffle oil were delicious, and my burger was tasty (even though the cheese looked and tasted like cheese sauce instead of a real slice of cheese), but my french fries were soggy and my husband's grilled lamb was full of gristle. The part of the lamb that was meat had a very nice flavor and was tender, but there was so much gristle that of the 4 lamb chops on my husband's plate, only half of the meat was actually edible. So my husband ended up eating part of my cheeseburger.
Our server was very nice, though she didn't speak English, which is very common in the DR. We were prepared and she patiently worked with us to understand our broken Spanish. I also used the Google translate function on my phone, which worked well. Unlike what other reviewers stated, we were still charged the 28% tax (10% and 18%) even though we paid in cash. We really couldn't complain though, because we only paid a total of $63 USD for an appetizer, 4 drinks, and 2 entrees. We left our server an additional $15 tip because I read that the 18% hospitality tax they charge in DR usually doesn't make its way to the servers.
All in all, we probably would not go back to El Lugar. There are better restaurants in Las Terranes.response / report this review -

Excellent. One of the best in Las Terrenas. They do most of the food in their wood fired oven. Simply excellent.
