    Fue una velada maravillosa, la comida estuvo deliciosa al igual que el servicio, en especial nuestro mesero; se me pasó el nombre pero fue muy amable y eficaz. Gracias a todos por hacer especial esa noche. Le encantó a mi esposa el creme brûlée de cumpleaños.

    Loved Sur! Great outdoor atmosphere! Delicious food! My family had beef carpaccio, Italian salad, clam chowder, filet, creamed spinach, sea bass, and a burger. The burger was out of this world! Amazing service by Jorge and Osito! They took great care of us Americans. I highly recommend!

    Wow - Get this... My wife and I booked reservations at the wrong SUR. OMG! Some how the OpenTable app took us to SUR in Mexico. We attempting to book SUR in West Hollywood. Thank God for the fantastic Hostess. SUR was a bucket list item for my wife. We got there early (yes, the one in West Hollywood) and had a few drinks. 7:20 came and I proudly walked up to the Hostess to say we were ready for our 7:30 reservation. The place was packed, we flew in the night before from Scottsdale AZ (yes just to go to SUR). My wife was so crazy happy to be there and then boom! I had to tell her reservations were for SUR in Mexico. You would have thought I just took her new puppy away. She was devastated. As we stood at the bar discussing how this happen the Hostess must have seen the tears forming. Without our prompting she walked up and said I'll make this happen for you. I mean this was clearly our mistake. Headline = ** Hostess at SUR Saves Marriage** . Our dinner was fantastic, service excellent and later we walked over to TOM TOM for more drinks and fun. Yep, repeat customers 4 SUR!. Sexy Unique Restaurant has a culture of taking care of their customers like they are family.

    Made reservation for 8:15 Pm. Checked in at 7:45 pm to ensure everything was on track. Hostess was great. Agreed we would be back at 8:15 PM. Table was ready. Sat down and ordered drinks. Told kitchen was a little backed up. So we were cool and ordered drinks and a few appetizers. Finally ordered meals around 9:15 PM and then food was served at 10:55 PM. Steaks were beyond rare. Tortellini was cold. Out of mash potatoes. Steaks were returned to kitchen and again came out rare. Sent back to kitchen for second time. Have no clue what was going on but extremely disappointing. One of worst experiences I have ever been a part of....sad part was waiter and assistant were amazing trying to make the situation better.

    Everything was great except my husbands steak was very under cooked. It wasn’t charred at all like it should be on a hot grill. More rubbery. Was disappointed since they are known for “great steaks”. The manager took the steak off the bill which was grateful for. The service and the ambiance were outstanding.

    Overall, a really great, fun evening! The kitchen struggled with our orders (steaks over cooked, artichoke undercooked/raw) but our waiter was immediately on it. The second try our food was on point and delicious. Flavorful and yummy. We stayed all night listening and dancing nonstop to the DJ mixing up a blend of old school R&B, deep house and pop. Ridiculous!

    Food was great, but the service was very slow. From the time we were seared to when our appetizer was served it was 1 .25 hours, then an additional 30 minutes before main course was served. Then 15 minutes waiting for the check after our plates had been removed. Whole experience lasted over 3 hours.

    The first table that they had for us was street side, which we found odd because the reservation was for a birthday party. We were then moved to another table next to the bar, directly under a speaker. The seafood soup and marlin carpaccio were great, but one of the steaks was not prepared as ordered and the salads were very poor. The empanadas were good, too. Overall, it was good, but not great.

    SO GOOD! I have pretty high standards when it comes to my dining experiences and this places get a 10/10! This past visit in October was my second time there and both times they knocked it out of the park. the service is phenomenal, they REALLY take care of you and go the extra mile. For my birthday they hooked us up with a free desert and a free round of shots. And of course the food is GREAT. One of my friends chose his meat from the cart and i was blown away at the quality and flavor. We're from chicago and frequent steakhouses and i honestly think this was the best steak i've ever had. i only have good things to say about this place and i will continue to come every time i'm in playa.

    Probably one of the best steakhouse in Playa Del Carmen. Came to celebrate my girlfriend’s 25th birthday, and I couldn’t ask for a better service. We were served by Oscar and Erick and they were phenomenal A+++ and they also served us perfectly with a smile. Sur Steakhouse knew there meat and the staff were very professional when it comes to service. This place is a must!

    We’ve been eating at Sur for 5+ years. It is usually a highlight of our dinners in PDC. This trip service, quality and selection were seriously lacking. The servers were not attentive. The food did not come at the same time for the appetizers or main course. The grilled artichokes were not well cooked and hard. The steak was not cut well and was overly fatty. The fish was over cooked as well. In addition, they did not have our wine selection from the menu nor did they have the cowboy steak (one of the usual best). In short, we are going to look for other steak restaurants in the future. It’s too bad because we always looked forward to giving.

    We chose Sur over other options due to strong reviews, but were disappointed with the experience overall. The servers were very attentive, the food was ok, wine list limited, but kitchen service was extremely slow for every course despite though the restaurant was at 30% capacity. The continued delays caused great frustration with our group, and in the end spoiled our last evening in the Playa area. Would not recommend this restaurant to friends.

    Jorge was our amazing server this evening. We were celebrating a birthday and two wedding anniversaries, and the whole night everything was wonderful. The food, as always, was perfection. Attentive but not smothering service, table on the street but further from the hustle and bustle of the front, fun music from the live DJ. Every time we're in Playa we come to Sur, and I can see no reason to break that tradition!
