[@wolvesden22]

I appreciate these type of videos. Very informative. If you guys get a chance, please do an episode about the best upscale gyms in Santo Domingo.

[@NorberisR]

Great suggestion!

[@vernonedmonds8596]

This video is a keeper for reference purposes 👍💯

[@mariajackson2570]

Hey Norberis, we went to El Meson de la Cava on Saturday for my daughter’s birthday. That place is top notch. The ambiance, the food and the service - 5 stars! We had shrimp, steak, salmon and pasta between the 5 of us. The music was nice and they gave birthday shoutouts. I look forward to going back

[@NorberisR]

I agree this is a 5 star restaurant.

[@garydelre7889]

Distrito Taco sounds yummy! Will be in DR next week, may try that!

[@NorberisR]

Awesome, you need to try it. You will love it.

[@Ambitious_973]

My favorite restaurant when I arrive is Adrian Tropical...

[@NorberisR]

Adrian Tropical is a nice restaurant but try one of these restaurants and you'll have a new favorite.

[@Dee-pj7hh]

Sis I hope on my next visit there I can find time to come to Santo Domingo. Sound like an interesting city. That rice and seafood dish you mention is now on my mind. 😃😃

[@NorberisR]

You should visit Santo Domingo next time you here.

[@bermudabreeze2088]

Hola Norberis. I appreciate the restaurant reviews. My favorite restaurant was Cantabrico restaurant which was on Independencia. I think it closed about a year ago and never reopened. Muchas gracias.

[@NorberisR]

De nada. Thanks for the additional support 🤗

[@bermudabreeze2088]

🙏🇩🇴🙏

[@buggysmooth1]

Thanks for making me hungry. LOL I have never been to S.D. Hopefully, when I go there in a few months, I will treat you and the family to one of those restaurants.

[@NorberisR]

Sounds good! Let us know.🤗

[@dennisbeacham5747]

Norberis, as always love the content! I’m surprise Laurels didn’t make your list. This eatery is top notch with great food and drinks! The Asian infused salmon is to die for! Great service and a nice ambiance!

[@NorberisR]

And you are right that Laurel is top notch and is on the level I'm mentioning but we've only eaten there once. I will include that one and other in my next video because there is no way you can name all great restaurants here in one video or 10 videos🤣😂

[@dennisbeacham5747]

@@NorberisR so true!

[@willw301]

10:03 Just had dinner last night at the Cave it was awesome 💯

[@NorberisR]

Yes, that's a really nice place.

[@walteranderson2507]

A mí y a mí Josefina nos encantan los restaurantes de la zona. Si puedo, la próxima vez que vayas a Higüey, echa un vistazo a L'Monani 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ y al personal 💯 salud 🤗 will be there in May 😊

[@elclasico4411]

Hi Norberis, thank you for this list, it will be helpful next time I visit. Do you need to make reservations to any of these or do they have dress codes?? Thank you

[@NorberisR]

Reservations are not required but you can make them. If you go during the day you should have no issues. There is no dress code but casual is recommended

[@joseojedamaggiolo583]

I love Laurel, Olivia, Sofias and Maracas

[@NorberisR]

Laurel is very nice. I wanted to add that but we've only been there 1 time but the food was good.

[@joseojedamaggiolo583]

@@NorberisR I have to try the ones you recommended in your video that I haven’t been to. Thank you Norberis!

[@robinsonv45]

My wife and I will go next year to explore all this restaurant in April 2025 we are staying in piantini 👍🏽

[@NorberisR]

Great! Piantini is a great neighborhood.

[@robinsonv45]

You guys keep doing what you doing loving this types of videos really helps I’m I was born in DR but came to the states very young late 80s outside punta Cana, cap Cana and casa de campos I haven’t been anywhere else in a very long time I can’t wait! We are planning to invest in the country hopefully we can connect when we get there 👍🏽 hope you guys have a bless 🙏🏽

[@NorberisR]

Thank you. You can always email us when you are in town.

[@robinsonv45]

Will do. Thanks

[@lorigovi718]

As a Mexican, I wonder how authentic the food is at the Distrito Taco?

[@NorberisR]

Remember I said it was Mexican fusion, not authentic. That's not the place for Authentic Mexican food.

[@easymike7176]

I will be there soon! Mmmmmm

[@yvenstsimonis]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention Turo

[@NorberisR]

Yes Turo is worth a mention. We have been there 3 times. We are going to include it in the best Steakhouse videos here.

[@JermiahCrawford21]

I miss the food soo much

[@Answer2No1]

No Victoria by PorterHouse?

[@NorberisR]

Yes, that restaurant is nice. We only went once.

[@c.facegood6351]

You should’ve name Zutros It’s very nice & good also

[@NorberisR]

These places make Zutros look like a pica pollo...lol! We've been to Zutros and the food is good but it can't compare to any of these restaurants.

[@c.facegood6351]

@@NorberisR Not pica pollo lol 😂

[@brothertoughlove]

Okazu is nice 👍🏿

[@NorberisR]

Yes it is...😋

[@moebetter3143]

I like Santo domingo restaurants. But they have nothing on La Bruja in Punta Cana. Omg

[@NorberisR]

Lol...we have eaten at La Bruja in Punta Cana at both locations in Bavaro and in near Punta Cana Village more than once and the food is good but that restaurant has nothing on any of the restaurants in this video. Trust me...lol!

[@moebetter3143]

​@@NorberisR trust me i love santo domingo restaurants. I eat at the Adrian Tropical and i eat in the restaurants in the Piantini area when I'm staying in Piantini. With that said, the food at the LA Bruja in Los Corales is undefeated .

[@moebetter3143]

I am a foodie! And I'm always staying in Santo Domingo when i visit. I'm familiar with some of these restaurants. A man's stomach knows lol😅. I've ate at Varaiata several times, it's nice but not better food than LA Bruja in Los Corales. The blue mall restaurants in piantini are overrated and don't deserve to be mentioned in this group you listed. Piantini has nice restaurants than the ones in blue mall in my opinion but i have yet to go to one better than La Bruja in Los Corales. I ate at the Meson cave. The ambiance and food is nice, I will admit that but the food doesn't measure up to LA Bruja los Corales. The Japanese one you mentioned I haven't tried. The one in Gazcue I haven't tried yet. I think you and your husband need to go back and revisit La Bruja in Los Corales again! The beef ribs literally were sliding off the bone as I was eating it omg. And I was ordering to go while sitting there getting second and thirds of everything on the menu. I couldn't believe how good the food was. I was there the first week in November of last year

[@NorberisR]

We believe you. But we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. We don't have to eat at a restaurant (la Bruja) 6 or 7 times to confirm it's not as good as what I mentioned here😅. La Bruja is a good restaurant and I recommend it, again we've eaten there many times. We just don't feel it can compare to any of restaurants mentioned in this video from ambience to food. That's a good thing we all like something different.

[@NorberisR]

My husband said he is going to have to show you what good eating is, because good ribs are not supposed to fall off the bone..lol
