La Casona STK - Punta Sam

Awesome! Great Ribeye, French Onion Soup, salad, service and....

Everything was great, our first meal of the vacation.

Food is very good. Service is excellent. Doesn't accept appointment. You have to have all your party there otherwise they will not sit you. Eventhouh your party may be lagged behind for couple of minutes!

Poor service poor food. The Villa del Palmar resort has do some great restaurants. This is NOT one of them. My service was poor, food was poor, menu options very limited.

Do not order flank steak. The chef does not know how to cook it. Even the tenderloin steak was not cooked properly. For a steakhouse, we were quite surprised this restaurant had a chef who did not know how to cook steak properly. The flank steak should be taken off the menu entirely as the cut of meat is far below North American standards. The manager Diana was not helpful when we complained about how the steaks were cooked. Everything other than the steak was excellent, but we were disappointed the chef did not know how to cook steak properly….at a restaurant that has the word “STK” in their name

Revised July 2021 I came here again this year again following last year visit and it lost a bit for me but it's still worth coming back. If it loses more on my next visit, "Who knows when" I may need to change my star rating. I still enjoyed my Steak, made just right for me. The side dishes were good but better back in 2020. ___________________________ Original review in 2020. This restaurant location is another hit at the Villa Del Palmar resort. Steak are made to protection. Also not to mention the sides to complete your dining experience more delightful. The views are nicer if you ask to be seated there, on my first visit it had rained a bit just before we entered. So the view looked just right to take an cloudy evening photo shot. You can see the view I just mentioned from one of my pictures posted. The staff is very friendly and attentive to provide help if and they are called about. I came to this restaurant on two occasions for my stay. This restaurant ranks second for me. My favorite was the Sushi place. Still in all, I would recommend them and even attend again.

I had a great time here. The steak wasn't the high point but other things made up for that. The tuna carpaccio and beef tartare were the highlights of the appetizer round, along with the clam chowder. All super flavorful! The tomato with balsamic was underwhelming, the tomato was pretty bland variety and the balsamic had a strange flavor. The pork belly with watercress was also not great. Way too fatty (like literally no actual meat on our piece). The sauce was amazing and the other things in the bowl like the watercress and lentils were delicious. For main courses two of us had ribeye and the third had short rib. The short rib was delicious! Tender, juicy, yummy braising sauce. The ribeye was a bit meh. Not bad but I asked for rare, came out more medium rare. Slightly under seasoned. And just not very tender. Not aged or handled quite right. Dessert made up for anything else as we had three all fantastic! The carrot cake was awesome and beautiful, the chocolate mousse was rich and had great texture contast with it's cereal crunch, and the passion fruit creme brulee was my favorite dessert of all three restaurants so far. Yummers!! Of all the restaurants at Villa del Palmar this has been the most subdued atmosphere so far. At Zama and Hiroshi our servers were so friendly and fun, here they were pretty reserved. It's not bad, just a different atmosphere.

We were always happy here. Dianna who sat us down even remember our name from last time. We had Saul who served us was wonderful. The food here on the entire menu always an excellent choice. You can’t go wrong. Happy eating.
