   The food was sub par overall. We ordered the whole snapper and it was shockingly bland. I am surprised that such a mediocre restaurant is in such a beautiful location.

   The cocktails and food were amazing but it was the service that truly blew us away. We sat at the bar for dinner and Sean really took care of us. He knew his stuff whenever we had questions but was also honest and accommodating too. Will definitely be going back to try more of the menu!

   Drinks were good! Food was a bit overpriced for the quality and quantity compared to surrounding restaurants.

   The place was easy to find and it was pretty and well put together. Once we sat down it took a minute for the waiter to notice us sitting down. It was a bit disorganized within itself the restaurant wasn’t busy and it appeared that our server only had 2-3 tables. It’s described as a latin inspired but had very little to it on the menu. The drinks were watered down and I asked for them to make me another one and it was better but not how it was supposed to be. Food was better I had the paella and it was really good with good amount of seafood and had the street corn. The street corn was as if they took a corn and cut it up in 3 small pieces. My partner had ta tacos and calamari the calamari were pretty tasty. Tacos too small. Best part was the churros that alone was a 10/10. Overall there is a lot of potential to the restaurant and where it is located but there’s couple of things they’ll have to work on.

   I went to Para Maria’s for New Year’s Eve with a small group of friends. It went amazing, the service was great, and the food was fantastic. I tried the coffee rubbed steak, well worth the price.

   Good service, the waitress really sweet and kind. The drinks weren't that good and they are really price. I was expecting something better than what was served. As for food, the Salmon on Coconut and the burger, they were delicious. Now, we ordered a side of tostones which cost $10 per side, so we thought they were going to be fresh tostones. Specially since the menu was made by a Cuban chef. To our surprise the tostones were the frozen kind. Dry and extremely tough to the bite. We could tell they were probably Goya bagged frozen tostones. A total let down.

   Our server was absolutely phenomenal, the food was so amazing as always!! My husband and I have been to Para Maria before and we wanted to come back to celebrate our wedding anniversary! I would recommend this restaurant to everyone ! We even went to the bar and had another drink after our meal because we were so relaxed and enjoying the environment !

    Really enjoyed the paella that I ordered and the appetizers (chips and salsa, fried calamari) we’re decent I am a big fan of craft beers, so I wish they had a slightly more substantial beer selection . I thought our server was lovely and awesome

    We enjoyed wonderful cocktails at the fun bar and then a fantastic dinner with a wonderful server (Sebastian). The vibe was festive and fun but quiet enough to good conversation. We were all totally happy with our meals and the experience.

    The service was nice. Its a nice ambient. The food was not so good but it wasn't bad. We ordered the calamari, Tuna tar tar and the ribs. Calamari was good. Everything else was just okay. Its a nice date night experience. Would not go back unless its just for drinks.

    Chef Tatiana and her staff were TOP NOTCH! could not have asked for a better experience. Our apps were fantastic, the smoked ahi tuna, the ribs, everything down to the mango salsa that accented the plate was exceptional. The mains were better still! The Salmon was perfectly cooked, flavorful, paella was the best I’ve had in the northeast period. Don’t get us started on the Churros! My wife and kids cleared the plate so fast we had to order more! Brian made us some incredible drinks, great conversation, attentive staff. 10/10 experience, ambiance, food. The Total package was phenomenal by the team at Para Maria. Cannot wait to come back.

    Unfortunately for us, there was a private party going on in the restaurant while we and other diners were there, but there was no walled off space for them, so the noise level was extreme and the service was spotty. The mussels we had were good, grilled bread could have used a bit of olive oil before grilling. The vegetarian entree, a cauliflower dish needs a re-do. It was terribly dry, unseasoned, and under-cooked. The rice that accompanied the dish was good, but the taste of raw, uncooked garlic ruined the black beans served with it.

    I’d avoid this place. It seems understaffed with 30+ minutes for food/drinks to arrive and expensive for the quality. Our waiter also threw out half an entree after we asked them to box it up. They then asked us to leave immediately so they could turn the table over.

    If you haven’t had the chance over the last few years to experience Chef Tatiana Rosano’s cuisine you’re missing out on a bright rising star. The smoked tuna tartare is fresh and flavorful, the salsa kicks in the right amount of spice that wakes you up. I could keep on raving, but you have to go experience it for yourselves.

    The overall experience was just okay. Everything seemed to lack something. Service was just a bit too slow, food was under seasoned and price was too high for what we got. I can’t say the drinks we very yum. We asked to relay the message to the chef since she is supposed to be well known and the server seemed scared. All I can say is, we didn’t hate it but we didn’t love it.

    Pretty solid wine list, adequate but unspectacular beer list. Decent food, but the reason to come here is the excellent service and hospitality at the bar- top notch bartenders and great vibes.

    The cauliflower dish had good flavor. It was a lot of cauliflower. The combination of music from the Barking Crab combined with the less poppy music coming from inside was annoying. It cost too much for what we had. Paying for location but there is no view.

    Didn’t live up to our high expectations, but met the need for late evening dinner with a nice view of the passers by walking along the waterfront. Pleasant waitress took our drink and food order and then followed up to make sure everything was OK. Delicious paella and mussels for dinner, but both were served after a substantial wait and cool in temperature. They might need to turn up the heating lamp! Otherwise, good location and outdoor dining made it a wonderful evening.

    We chose this restaurant because of the information about a young female chef--how refreshing! But we were sorely disappointed. We had to wait at least an hour for our meal. The server was a lovely woman, by the way, not her fault. She gave us chips and salsa because the wait was so long, and the salsa was "off"--tasted as if it was about to spoil. The meal finally came lukewarm. Nothing about it was special, certainly not justifying the price, except the potatoes, which were ok. I would never go back there for dinner.
