I got in with my fam of 11 by reseving the day before and putting a 500k that were returned. Amazing views, professional service, and great food. As much as I respect the salmon, it wasn't for me. I wanted my salmon cooked medium,I even said I wanted it medium well but I was flatly told they don't do such thing. So when I got my salmon well done it was just not as tender or flavorful as I usually like it. The sauce was interesting but lacked flavor, and for having "teriyaki" in the description I sure didn't taste it or see it. The red coloring was also an interesting choice for covering the entire salmon, and the sauce turned into a jelly fastThe guacamole was a nice pairing, but could've been a bit more mature and soft. The cocktail I had was great, perhaps a bit too strong for my tasting, but well worth. Lobster was good and there is a wide selection of preparations for anyone. A drink my aunt had was a bit too watery compared to the cheaper and more fruitful drinks found on the beach. The view of the ocean is beautiful but don't be surprised to be surrounded by a lot of yachts. The service was as said, professional, fast, and efficient. I wouldn't have minded some more cheerfulness or welcoming vibes, but hey, she was fast, accurate, and efficient. I think that the restaurant is well worth if affordable, as the atmosphere is unique and the menu is vast and specialized. PS: celebrating birthdays in this restaurant would be a good option, but it's also small drawback because don't be surprised to be hearing a lot of birthday singing.

The food was truly amazing—each dish offered a unique blend of classic and modern flavors that stood out. The view, both during the day and in the evening, added to the overall ambiance and made the experience memorable. We enjoyed it so much, we went twice. However, the service left much to be desired. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty during our afternoon visit (only three tables occupied), it took an unusually long time to place our order and receive drinks. Be prepared to spend up to three hours here, even when it's not busy.

Wonderful place! The food is astonishingly delicious while space provides a magical atmosphere. Pay attention that you need a reservation to get in quickly (2-3 weeks in advance), otherwise you need to wait for non-reserved pool of the tables ~ 1 hour. I had only the impression that too many guests are served by too less staff, hence do not expect to be served quickly. All in all, worth all the money and time!

This place has great atmosphere and appeal. Right along the water and a cool breeze cooling you down for the humid weather. To start off, the wait to go in was about an hour from when we put our name on the list. We came since this spot was recommended. I'd say it was pretty underwhelming for the amount of money we spent. We had ceviche, 2 types of croquettes, tuna, lobster tails, conk and crab. Nothing was memorable or satisfying. Only redeeming factor was the portions for some of the mains were huge. Otherwise, I probably won't return.

We ordered the Regatta lobsters and the Johnny Cay ceviche. The lobster was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The ceviche, however, was a bit disappointing as it was served with a sauce that tasted like ketchup, which didn’t quite match our expectations. We arrived around 2:30 PM for a late lunch, and the place was full, creating a lively and pleasant atmosphere. For dessert, we tried the chocolate cake and maracuyá (passion fruit); it was outstanding, We also had a bottle of wine, which was surprisingly good and felt worth the price. The total bill came to 490,000 COP, but considering we had lobster and wine, it was reasonable. Would definitely recommend for a nice lunch or dinner by the sea.

Such a gorgeous restaurant, you must visit if you’re in San Andrés. The food was delicious, the atmosphere is one of a kind. The view where we sat down was spectacular. I loved peacefully seeing out to the ocean and felt that life sat still for a moment. The music is very mellow and goes well with the theme of the restaurant. It’s very colorful and the service is decent. The wait time for the food was slightly on the longer side but we didn’t mind.

Probably the best restaurant in the islands for traditional food! Portions are really generous, their staff is amazing, coconut pie is to die for! Litterally if you like seafood you can’t go wrong with the food here! If you’re in San Andres , you shouldn’t leave without eating here

Mediocre food at above-average prices. The service was pleasantly quick and attentive – the restaurant looks super sweet and counts with lovely decoration. The prices are still within reason but a bit above average. That would be acceptable if the food quality matched – unfortunately, quite the opposite was true. I deliberately chose the pork medallions, hoping this would reduce the risk of dry meat compared to beef or chicken. Sadly, that’s exactly what I got: extremely dry, tough, and completely flavorless... I also had a sauce that was described as a passion fruit reduction, but it tasted more like a dilution. Instead of a rich, tangy contrast, it came across as flat and overly sweet – more like syrup than a proper sauce. It lacked depth, balance, and any real connection to the dish. Bottom line: You can go, but you don’t have to...we had better experiences at other comparable restaurants.

You know the food is going to be great when the very first page of the menu says everything is made from scratch. Gourmet Shop Asho delivers on that promise. They offer a wide variety of fresh juices and lemonades — the coconut lemonade is especially delicious and incredibly refreshing. The fish soup, made with coconut water, is packed with flavor and generous chunks of fish. One of the standout dishes is the house fish filet, cooked in coconut milk with shrimp — absolutely a must-try. Highly recommended!

Had dinner here and everything was create. Menu has a lot of pasta items on it, service was friendly and attentive. Place really started filling up around 8, they have outdoor seating. Also liked the atmosphere as well.

Had dinner here, the food was good for San Andres. Also the service was ok.

Nice food and place. We took the octapus carpaccio which was little bit to much lime on, was like drinking a lemonade. The lobster in butter and garlic was amazing, soft and very tasty, same as the Isla sallad and the salmon, crispy outside and soft inside. General the service was too fast, starter came after 5 min and main dish after 10 min, means we was done after 35 mins, even if we supposed to stay longer. The waiter was a bit tired of life and need some sleep.

A really poor experience! I came here 2 years ago, the food was good. I visited tonight, it was dreadful. The prices have increased significantly, and the food has got awfully worse. The rice was stone cold, I had to send it back. The mashed potato had been heated up in the microwave. If any person willingly pays for such lazy service, more fool them. I would recommend avoiding this restaurant and looking elsewhere.

Worst experience in San Andres!! Please avoid this place. The fish soup had a huge 2 inch bone in it plus a few spines (despite us asking if there were bones / spines and they said no). When we showed them, instead of apologizing they just laughed in our face. Didnt care that my husband could have died. They didnt try to make it right by offering a discount or anything, just angrily told us that all fish have bones… and had the nerve to ask for a tip! The prices are outrageously expensive, my chicken was very dry. I think the chef must have been drunk. Horrible service and worse food and prices. I dont understand how this place is in business. They are going to kill someone.

OMG the best food by far on the whole island ! It is a shame I discovered this place on my last day, I would have gone everyday to try out all their dishes. I had the Estrella de pulpo, it was sooo well cooked and tender, the best I ever had in my whole life ! Also the coconut rice was DELICIOUS. Plus, they have a wine selection...the white wine with this dish was just paradise. Pricing and portions are good compared to other places, fancy or not. Friendly service too. It is well worth the walk from the centro. Not to be missed!!!

I had chicken pasta with cream sauce and my wife had the octopus. My dish was tasty but not enough sauce for my preference. I'm a Gringo though, so I've come to expect that in Colombia 🇨🇴. They just don't typically like their dishes with much sauce. My wife had the octopus 🐙 and it was AMAZING. It was shockingly very tender with good flavor and not chewy at all. The best we've ever had anywhere. Service was quick and friendly. We had planned on going to a different restaurant, but It was a HOT day outside and they have A/C, so we decided at the last moment to eat there. The restaurant is also nicely decorated and clean. Five stars for the atmosphere.

We recently had lunch from Captain Mandy, and it was fantastic! We ordered the salmon with lobster sauce and the shrimp with creamy garlic sauce, and both dishes were packed with incredible flavor. The seafood was fresh, and the sauces elevated each dish perfectly. The portion sizes were generous, leaving us satisfied without being overly full. To top it off, the price for both meals was very affordable, making it an excellent value for such high-quality food. Highly recommend!

We ate here twice and enjoyed our meals immensely. The whole octopus was cooked beautifully. The seafood chowder reminded us of eastern Canadian chowders. Fish was beautiful. And the fried shrimp rice also delish definitely worth a visit

Nice restaurant specialised in seafood - however few vegetarian options available. We had vegetarian rice and pasta with garlic and veggies. I was nicely surprised by the quality of the dishes considering that the restaurant main attractive is seafood. Not many veggie options available in San Andres so I would definitely recommend this place and I would come back. Prices are good considering the quantity and quality.

Best meal we’ve had on the island hands down. We had a 2lbs fried red snapper, 2 coconut rice and plantain plates, one plate of fried shrimps, 2 glasses of wine and 1 coconut lemonade for a total of 70$ CAD. It was not only amazing but very affordable. To top it off, the service was great, Would a 100% recommend.

Food was amazing, service was great too. Fresh fish, amazing ceviche, good octopus and great oriental rice with squid and others. Overall food was a lot better than many other restaurants in the island, and not expensive at all. I highly recommend it. Loved it!

Food was good compared to what you find on the island. We had to wait around 1h during lunchtime to get a table. Food is fresh and is tasty! I recommend it for lunch. However as everywhere in San Andres the service has its flaws. We waited 1h for the main dishes after being seated as the waiters forgot about our food. Overall I recommend and would come back

Will not be back! NOT recommended for couples. This is the second time I’ve been here and have had to sit in a corner if we wanted to sit outside. All the outside tables are reserved for groups of 4 or more. The tables were half empty and there was no line. But we were refused seating in the outside area with a good view. Tables remained empty during our entire stay there. Food was nothing exceptional. Bland and without any flavor. I ordered shrimp this time and Salmon the last time and was not impressed with either.

The food at Donde Francesca was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. However, the service was extremely slow. From the moment we sat down, it took nearly two hours to receive our food. While we enjoyed the meal once it arrived, the long wait really took away from the overall experience. Hopefully, they can work on improving the speed of service, because the food is definitely worth it.

This is a nice place with a nice location, but as for the service and food quality very average. There is much better food to be had on the island. This is a good spot to grab drinks and enjoying the beach, but everything else is ehhh.

Beautiful View, Deeply Disappointing Experience Let's start with the positive: the restaurant's location and view are magnificent. Unfortunately, that's where the positive aspects of our visit ended. ​While Colombians are known for their warmth, our welcome from the host, Nidian, was incredibly unpleasant and set a negative tone for our entire meal. She showed no understanding of how to accommodate a family, seeming more concerned with staff rotation than the guest experience. The culinary experience was a major letdown. With one exception, the dishes were bland and poorly executed. ​Shrimp Rice & Arroz Caldoso: Both dishes were desperately in need of seasoning. They were watery and tasteless. ​Grilled Fish: Acceptable, but not memorable. ​Side Dishes: The coconut rice was flavorless, and the salad was minimal and appeared old. ​Garlic Octopus: This was the sole highlight of the meal—tender and well-seasoned. ​ Beverages: The "natural" juices were disappointingly artificial, tasting of sugar more than fruit. For a final bill for 4 plates of over $400,000 COP, the value was simply not there. You are paying a premium for the view, while the food and service fall drastically short. We left feeling very disappointed.

Food is authentic, staff is nice and very acomodating, immediately in front of a beach which is probably the best on the island. The downside is way too many people and the loud and obnoxious music playing constantly. Either from the hut / bar next door or from people on the beach listening on loudspeakers.

Incredible food! Best on the island 🏝

Nice place, not the food. Im not a seafood lover but food wasn't tasty as i expected. Service is good.

We loved Miss Celia Restaurant, the staff was super friendly. The food was definitely amazing and tasty. I super recommend this restaurant.

Stewed crab was tasty, but could be everything, since it was chopped. Crab + soup + coke+ beer= 85k COP, mandatory tip included. Just average

Recommended by the locals Amazing food, excellent costumer service Never been to a place where the waiter will suggest that we order just one dish, because it was to much for just one person Best Rondon in the island Little pricy but it was more that enough por my husband and I Totally recommend!!!!

The worst place I've been in San Andrés, they took 60 minutes to bring the food and then it wasn't what we asked for. We ordered three plates and after all this waiting time, they brought two of them and said they didn't have the other, just like that. Es un lugar costoso, con lo cual no habría problema si la comida valiera la pena. Pero sus platos de 76.000 pesos parecen de 15.000. El arroz de camarones ($47.000) trae literalmente cuatro camarones, una estafa.

My wife, her sister, my mother, and myself were recommended Miss Celia by our hotel. We had finally arrived at our last stop in Colombia and were excited about how good the fish might be in a tropical destination. We were seated by our host at 12:45. We ordered shortly after, and thus began a long hour and a half of stomach growling, twiddling fingers, and letdown after letdown as we saw what we thought might be our food being carried to other parties that had arrived AFTER us. By 1:45 we were scratching our heads. Had our order been misplaced? Did our server forget us? Why so long for a dish so simple? At around 2:10, my wife went to tell the owner that if our food wasn’t at the table within five minutes, we would simply take the check for the drinks we had ordered and leave. Surely enough, five minutes later here comes our food out of the kitchen. I was excited. Maybe I’d be enjoying a delicacy! That might be the reason it’d taken so long! Upon first bite, we were all thoroughly disappointed. Three of our fish dishes were lukewarm, bordering on cold (save for my wife’s which was decent). The coco rice was mushy, clearly made by someone who was either lazy that day or doesn’t know how to make rice. We sent our food back and it returned five minutes later with only marginal improvement in the temperature. To make matters worse, the fish simply wasn’t prepared well. I ordered grilled fish, but it had clearly been tossed in copious amounts of flour to prevent it from sticking to the pan making it more akin to fried fish than the grilled fish it was advertised as. We were so hungry by this point (2:20) that we simply hung our heads and scarfed it all down. We immediately went to the front to pay as we didn’t want to spend any more time in a place that provided quite literally service from hell. The owner (presumably Miss Celia) was uncouth, unsympathetic, and apathetic in regards to the extremely poor service we had received. Even our waiter who happened to be at the checkout counter while we were talking with the owner indicated to her that “no service” (tip) was required. At this point the owner showed her true colors, becoming completely disrespectful by remarking, “they’re gringos, and because they’re gringos they should tip.” This behavior is unacceptable for any person, let alone a business owner aiming to provide quality customer service. Tips are EARNED, NOT AUTOMATIC. She behaved like a child in this moment, essentially ensuring in our minds that: 1. we would never come back 2. her “business” was merely a tourist trap, devoid of any originality, quality, and most importantly, respect. Insulting customers is a seriously amateur move, and it was all the more telling that HER OWN STAFF MEMBER took our side. We will never be back to Miss Celia and we highly advise you steer clear. This was easily, by far, the worst dining experience of my life.

We had fantastic service and very good food. The Miss Celia meal is perfect for sharing and that makes the price just right too. Cute decor with lots of fans inside and an option for outdoor seating.
