There are many well known restaurants on this island, especially on the main strip where the hotels/resorts are. But if you ask the locals where to go, you’ll come across Silla. This Dominican restaurant is worth the visit. I found this restaurant to be hands down better than any resort/hotel, and all the other popular touristy restaurant on the island. Serving sizes are good and the price for food is very reasonable. I throughly recommend and enjoyed this place.Salmon- very tasty sauce and salmon (chunks) was juicy. Tasted great with the white rice.Stewed chicken- amazing and the chicken was cook just right, fell right off the bone. The gravy was seasoned wonderfully. This dish was so good, I literally couldn’t lick my plate.Oxtails- Again another dish that was prepared correctly. The sauce was good and well seasoned, and the meat fell right of the bone.

The food was top notch here!!! Very authentic and friendly people too. We had to use muddled Spanish and English to order but made do, and the value was really good, 15 US for enough food for 2, even though we ordered ONE medium size meal. Highly highly recommend!!!

This review is for food and service ONLY because the other piece of the review is VERY CONCERNING and you need to be aware.The food and service was very very good. Just so you’ll know, it’s a Dominican Republic restaurant. All the staff were simply amazing. I went at night. I visited the restaurant because I was recommended this place for Latin food. It didn’t disappoint.If you’re reading this review, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take my advice. DO NOT GO THERE AT NIGHT. I was very uncomfortable because the environment changes at night and you can see the undesirables all over the place sizing you up. I didn’t feel safe AT ALL. I grew up in an urban setting, so, I am very streetsmart and I tell you, NOT the place to be at night.If you go and you should because the food is very good, just go while it’s sunlight out. AFTER my experience, I spoke to a few locals and they said to definitely go while it’s daylight. Again, the food and service gets a 5 stars but the night environment gets NO STARS. BE VIGILANT if you want to take the chance and go at night.

The restaurant was recommended by a local who said that it wasn't fancy but the food was the best you can get. We disagree! The restaurant sported a tasteful interior with clean, modern lines and it was squeaky clean! The food was great! Our waitress was patient with us and got past our inability to read the menu, or speak the language gracefully and tactfully! She even called a taxi for us and went with us outside to be sure we got there safely!A1 service!!!
