The services anywhere in Cesar’s is fabulous. It the reason we keep coming back. Dining here was no different. Staff is always helpful, polite, and quick. The food is good. The lumpia and the roast turkey were delicious. I always appreciate a good avocado toast and the charcuterie section was great. As for value… we went in a weekend and at $89 person because it included seafood (crab legs, shrimp, clams, etc) just wasn’t a good value for US (again, my opinion). We weren’t there for the seafood. So that was lost on us. For others, it may have been a great deal. Sidenote… to the little girl at the table next to us who states she “was going to eat enough crab that her hands would turn to claws”. I hope your hands turned to claws sweet girl!

Ok! So, I made a reservation thru open table the day before I planned it, with no problems, very easy. At the time of my reservation, its was easy , nobody in line at the time. We were given the option to eat outside, which we did. My buddy and I ordered the same thing, the awesome burger and fries combo. I added bacon and had cheddar cheese, my buddy had brie cheese and added bacon and an egg medium cooked. When we got our food, they messed up in the kitchen, they put the egg on my burger amd when they tried to just put the egg on my buddies burger, it fell apart spilling yellow yolk all over my burger, so they took it back to the kitchen and refired a new one for me. My buddy is enjoying his burger when he gets a 5” black hair he pulls from his mouth, yuck! The Manager of the restaurant came by our table and gave us a free bonus order of fries while i wait for my food. He told me my burger is first on the list in the kitchen. I tell him “its cool, it happens sometimes” My buddy tells the manager about the hair he found in his mouth. The Manager says he is goin to take care of it for us. My buddy has only an hour break for lunch (He also works at The Paris Hotel and Casino.) so as my food arrives, my friend has to bounce back on the clock. He leaves and talks with our waiter about the check. As Im eating, the waiter comes to me and says my friend took care of the check including tip! The Manager didn’t charge my buddy for his food with the bonus hair in it. Im not mad at all, the manager took care of it and Im sure to return to this restaurant again, my buddy and i have enjoyed Mon Ami Gabi many times in the past and this one weird incident isn’t going to keep us away.

My husband and I are on our 14 year Anniversary and decided to have dinner at Joe’s Seafood PrimeSteak and Stone Crab. We choose the Alaskan King Crab Legs paired with a Salad and some beverages, that was recommended by our FABULOUS waiter by the name of NESTOR!! NESTOR truly made our anniversary special the recommendations were on point and he made sure to recognize that we were on our Anniversary and wished us Happy Anniversary multiple times. NESTOR was personable with my husband and I, that made us feel like we knew him. We appreciated that so much! The dining experience was the best my husband and I have experienced. Thank you NESTOR and we will definitely be back to see you!!

We came here for my wife’s birthday, and were made to feel incredibly special from the moment we set foot in the restaurant. Our server was probably the most professional individual one could hope for, and took us through the whole of the menu, answering all of our questions without fault. The food was of course fantastic and the location second to none. Of course you pay a premium for this and it’s not somewhere we will be able to dine on a daily basis, however for that special occasion it hit and surpassed our expectations.

I wish I could give Chef Sarah Thompson and Casa Playa more than 5 stars. This dining experience easily became the top rated experience for us. The ambiance was impeccable and impressive, the restaurant design left us speechless. The staff was on point in every action they took. Every element on each plate worked harmoniously together, making each bite a literal work of art. Casa Playa sets the bar for authentic Oaxacan Mexican Cuisine.
