   They forgot our appetizers. We starved for an hour while we watched others who sat down after us get their food. The valet guy kept insisting we had to give him $20 for the hour we parked although we spent $100+ for dinner and had our parking validation from the restaurant. Very disappointing.

   We really enjoyed our Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinners at Penguin Coastal Cocina. Service was great for every meal. They make excellent drinks at the bar. Beautiful resort. Can’t wait to go back. Love that place. 😊

   Halibut ceviche was a bit bland but fresh. Churros with cognac for dessert was fab. Main issues with outdoor dining is annoying pop tune sound system - loud and inescapable - bummed because having tacos overlooking the pacific next to the beach at a fire pit during happy hour could be magical . Service : our waiter was impeccable! Five stars for her.

   Food was creative the service was great..all the staff went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. We had dinner and breakfast during our visit..really enjoyed both. We were not staying at the hotel..we thought we would try the restaurant and glad we did..we will definitely return.

   Excellent food, particularly the enchiladas! Service good too, and location great. Lots of action at the pool bar below us.

   This hidden gem is inside of the Vespera Hotel! We absolutely loved the outdoor seating! We had a beautiful view the outdoor bar, the numerous amount of fire pits, the pool and the beach. We were greeted with very welcoming staff. We ordered a margarita flight, chicken taquitos, a wagyu flank steak and Barbacoa enchiladas. The food had an amazing presentation. The flavors were good. we definitely recommend the Barbacoa enchiladas and the chicken taquitos!

   Vibrant atmosphere, sitting in the patio area, you can see the guests from the Marriott enjoying themselves. When we were there - live music, setting sun, etc. added to our experience. The staff was very attentive, food was excellent. This was our second visit to the restaurant and we will be back again.

   We liked the restaurant and it just seemed like they had only been open for a short while. The soup and pork chop were amazing.

    Food was very good and enjoyable. Ambiance included music from the pool area, which proved to be enjoyable but could be a risk. Service was great. Overall excellent experience.
