There were many friends and family around for this trip....which is a good thing but complicated. Mobility and the need for "plans" and restaurant reservations .... and trying to get a consensus from a dozen people....about ANYTHING! Fuck that...I'M ON VACATION!
Try finding seats, for 8-12, in almost any restaurant in Sosua, in "high season in January" without a reservation. Even if they manage to squeeze you in the service is gonna suck and the kitchen will be overloaded. Been there, done that last February LOL
I would have liked to travel. Had 2 invites to Barahona for example, a few to visit inThe Capital, Santiago and various other places but simply couldn't break away. Obligations....
Victorian House could have handled our group but they're closed....
Bourbon Street, during the day, on PC likewise. Not sure for dinner as this group would not want to be at ground zero for the mongering nightlife lol. And....I don't really like the food there. Ate there in July and it was only ok. almost decent. But would not repeat.
Maura Mai could do it, and the food and service is awesome but... could not get people to agree. So a buddy and I went for lunch and it was excellent!
“SCOTCH 'N' SIRLOIN RESTAURANT” at Terra Linda Hotel could normally handle it too but again, it's not what our visitors wanted in the DR, on vacation..... We did eat breakfast there 2 or 3 times and a lunch??? The food is decent, breakfast is pretty good but expect higher than average pricing for Sosua. Monday - Friday they do "American" style breakfast before 11ish for 195RD IIRC....but not on weekends. Got caught by that BS...AGAIN!!! LOL The joy of not knowing what day it is
But we managed to schedule and reserve for a few large gatherings and they went well. The food and service great as expected and virtually no complaints. Amazing really.
