Many better options out there

Horribly slow service mediocre food Gigantic price. Grey goose martini 120mx + 250 upchagre. What a joke. The service was extremely slow. Took 15 mins to even be approached for a drink order. Our soups were both luke warm. Sweet corn and Tomato.. The steak...is just a steak decent flavor but a la carte so an extra 250mx for a few potatoes. Save $100 US and go to 500 Gramaos. Get a great steak and better serviceMore

NEVER order a takeout at this place!!!

NEVER order a takeout at this place!!! First, we had high expectations from the reviews, but the food was really average: the shrimps too dry and the sidings tasteless. Secondly: I've ordered one entry course and two main courses and they turned out to be...really tiny, so we've ended up to be hungry. Thirdly, for the money spent on dinner, we could have eaten with the drinks and be full at practically any other place on 5th Avenue. Also we had to wait an extra 30 min for the order, although I've ordered for a particular time. Would not recommend this place, for it can ruin your romantic or family dinner. Very disappointed. Not worth the money spent!More

Great EVEERYTHING!

Just a quick jaunt off the crazy path and you will find a beautiful oasis. Staff from the hostess to the manager were attentive, patient, and professional. The food was all amazing. We did the seafood sampler, grill sampler, and smoked sampler. All are unique...and delicious. If you are looking for a gorgeous restaurant with peace and quiet and lovely food and drink, I recommend a step off the beaten path.

Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

We LOVEEE Plank!! My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner here and it was an absolute dream. Everything from the food, the venue, the live music was perfect! Facundo and Fede were THE BEST!! They allowed us to add additional people to our party...on short notice and made sure that everything was perfect throughout the night. They were extremely professional and made the night so special. All our guests commented on how beautiful everything was and how good the food was for both meat and vegetarian menus we chose. Can’t wait to come back to Playa to come here again 😊More

A must try in PDC

The food was great; we started with a house salad followed by the grilled salmon and smoked brisket, both very flavourful and tasty. The drinks were delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We ended with a dessert: cheesecake. Very delicious and full of flavour. Our...server was very nice and the service was fast. The ambiance was amazing, great music and not too loud - you can hear yourself speak. I definitely recommend trying this place out if you’re in Playa Del Carmen!More

Mediocre food and service

The food was mediocre. My order was taken totally wrong. The server I guess didn’t hear me say no onions and my chilaquiles had a TON of onions. She offered to take the plate back to take the onions off. I was already doing that....And the chilaquiles were already super soggy atp. I also wanted the red sauce originally and she herself offered “divorciados” to come with both sauces and they ended up being green 😩. She just didn’t take my order very well :( At the end a guy taking our payment asked us how everything was and we told him and he said, “oh, sorry about that” pretty much. However, Antonio, was very helpful and brought me extra chips and worked very hard to keep our table clean. Props to Antonio!!!!More

Hello, I was just there on Saturday and left an excellent review. There is a set Brunch price but I asked if I could order off the menu and was told yes. Prices were very reasonable and we liked it so much that we went again on sunday. We didn't ask again what the prices were today. To our surprise the prices went up. When confronted about it we were told that pricing went up today. I paid my bill and also left a tip. Even though it wasn't a huge increase we just felt like we were taken. Did not like the feeling and we will never be back again and when I am able we will also leave an unfavorable review. I am really sorry that you do business this way.
