Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Ruinas Del Mar offers a "gorgeous place" with "outstanding" service and delectable food. Nestled in the Hyatt, diners can enjoy a unique setting with koi ponds and a black swan. While some dishes are hit or miss, the "Chilean sea bass" and "lobster bisque" are highlights. Ideal for romantic evenings and special occasions.

    This was our favorite place. The staff was wonderful. Our server, Edna, was very attentive. She helped when we were undecided. The food and wine were fabulous. The seafood salad and RUINAS SALAD were awesome. Our meals were outstanding. We had pasta CARBONARA and LINGUINI FRUTTI DI MARE. We decided on flourless chocolate cake and pear and pistachio for dessert. They were so yummy. We eat outside sounded by Koi pond. They gave us food to feed fish, which was fun. When it started to rain, they put out a roof covering over the entire outside to keep us dry. Was just fabulous.

    Second time eating here. First time was seven years ago. It was great then, but somehow they’ve elevated the food and experience even further. I had Red Snapper with the Lemon caper sauce and it was perfect. Also enjoyed the Elva salad for a starter. It was bright and fruity as expected. We ended with their play on bread pudding. It was so sumptuous and light compared to many of the heavy variations I’ve had in the past. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to any personal needs. It was also nice to feed the fish while we waited for our main course. Highly recommend Ruinas Del Mar.
