Fantastic! Food took a while to come out but once it did, it was delicious! I tried the spinach quiche and my partner tried the shrimp and vegetables. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. The staff were very kind and welcoming. Beautiful views from inside and outside the restaurant of the beach.

This is a great restaurant. The service was super friendly. The outdoor seating is beautiful. The breaded chicken dish I got was delicious. Sometimes I worry that a waterfront place like this would be a tourist trap but that is not the case. Highly recommended.

Dog friendly The food was really good. Especially for the Malecon, where you might feel you overpay for okay food. My parents loved their dishes..I had the ceaser with chicken. The only complaint I have is the serving of a deconstructed salad..idk why places think this is a flex. The chicken was seasoned well. The dressing was great. But the lettuce just gets wilted sitting there as I construct the salad from the chicken juice. Service was wonderful..our host had a great attitude and attendance. Go for the convenience and good food.

My girlfriend and I stopped in at Vitea Oceanfront Bistro for a quick bite and a drink while exploring the boardwalk — and we’re so glad we did. The location is absolutely perfect — right on the water with beautiful views of the ocean and all the energy of the boardwalk just steps away. We grabbed a couple of cocktails (both were strong and well-made) and shared a few small plates. The service was fast, friendly, and super welcoming, even though we were just popping in for a short visit. You can tell they care about the experience here. It was the perfect place to pause and soak in the scenery with some great food and drink.

Great seafood and cocktails. Staff are very friendly. Our friends come here every year when they are visiting. Nice people watching and views of the ocean from any seat.

On our last day, we all went to this restaurant together — and were pleasantly surprised. First, it’s pet-friendly, has tables with a sunset view, and great service. Second, the food was fantastic! For the first time in two years, I had a truly delicious carbonara. The filet mignon and grilled chicken breast with pesto sauce were also excellent. Definitely recommending this place!

We had a wonderful meal, Service was friendly and efficient, food was delicious and the atmosphere is wonderful. We were served by Jacqueline, who gave us great advice and took great care of us. We had the cauliflower and the fish with shrimp and mushrooms.

Everything we had was amazing. Fresh agua de melon blended to order was so good. Chicken parm with a side of Alfredo sauce to mix in with the red sauce for a flavor explosion. Definitely coming back here.
