The more things change the more they stay the same....yet each and every year things decline a little. 2%, 3% 5%?
Things are almost nothing like they were in 2004 and 2005. 2006 was a good year but already post peak. By 2007 the decline had obviously set in and it's been steadily downhill ever since.
10 years later I can say that I'm thrilled not to be chained to a business in the DR. Freedom and choices cannot be overstated.
La Finca is excellent and to me slightly better than El Conde. It depends on the specials....and the little spinner at El Conde is like that with EVERYONE. My buddy who has lived in Sosua "forever"known her for years, is fluent in Spanish and, and, and
....was convinced that she had a thing for me.....but nothing when I probed. I believe that she is "married with children" and not in the game yet plays a GREAT game.
Osteria Toscana is about the best restaurant in Sosua and definitely on the PC strip.
There are many but most of my best meals have been there.
In no particular order after Osteria

You simply will not go wrong at any of them.
There are many others worthy of a visit per trip
There are many that I would NEVER eat in like Sinatra's and some that change names quarterly....
But those 9 have never failed me. 5 Italian and 5 "Continental"
*Casa Valeria is generally good but not necessarily outstanding. I've had some excellent meals there and some.....not so great
*Scotch & Sirloin can also be decent, if grossly overpriced at times. It's Like Terra Linda Hotel (Which it is a part of). I have never stayed there but have hooked a few guys up there once upon a time and know many have stayed there yet they consistently have fucked with people over room prices.
I enjoy breakfast there at S&R except on weekends when the early bird special disappears and prices are double or more what the food is worth. They've caught me twice, my bad, but they are off my list....
Those with an * are great for breakfast except S&R on weekends.
