Casa Playa

We had both breakfast and dinner here. Everything was delicious!! Even simple things like a spinach omelette have so much flavor. The Bayshore salad was delicious and the paella was fabulous. Cocktails and wines were great. Servers were warm and sweet. Everything was excellent.

If you’re staying at the hotels nearby this is a nice and slightly upper scale location that is off the beaten path of the main strip. Large menu with plenty of options and just as many drink options. Great cocktails. “Mango smash” “grape guava” and “Lavender gin” were all delicious. The tuna tar tar was a better more delicious appetizer than the Yucca + “queso” was. The Yucca were well fried—kind of like potato wedges, but the “cheese” was oddly tangy and felt like a vegan sauce more than a cheese. Only came with like 4 yucca wedges. The coconut + snapper main entree was delicious and delicate.

The location was perfect for us to just walk over. The service was fast and friendly. The coffee was so good. Our waiter brought me steamed milk. The food was excellent. I had the steak tacos. And the atmosphere was so comfortable.

This is a modern style Latin American cuisine restaurant. This place is clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. There's indoor seating and outdoor patio seating as well. They have a full service bar. There's bar seating inside and outside on the patio. We ordered the beef empanadas from the tapas menu. They were scrumptious, but fairly small. The two of us both ordered the Ropa Vieja as a main course. It was very tasty and fulfilling. I was pretty full, but I could not resist trying their homemade tres leches cake. It was fresh and yummy. This is a few blocks off the oceanfront strip, within walking distance of our hotel. It had a laid back and relaxed atmosphere. This place is family-friendly. It's also a great place to hang out with friends or have date night. Prices are elevated, but good homestyle food.

After being ignored for 30 minutes other than coffee at another restaurant, we came here instead. Great choice. Attentive staff. Bartender even offered to adjust the sweetness of my margarita if it was too sour for my taste. There are some places in this town that seem to not pay attention to their customers if they feel they aren't going to spend enough money. That is NOT THE CASE HERE.

Superb skirt steak — tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared (medium rare)…no gristle or fat, either. Huge, delicious (rare, as requested) salmon fillet — enough for two meals, with a fabulous sauce. In addition to five star food, our server was professional, patient, efficient, and knowledgeable — thanks, Reyna. (If you plan ahead and want to use your Open Table rewards here, the manager IS able to enter the rewards mastercard number manually on the payment system.) Exceedingly highly recommended!

We hosted our monthly social for Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship at Casa Playa to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. We truly appreciate what a great partner this locally-owned (husband and wife) family business is in our community. From the first phone call through the end of our gathering, Frank was a wonderful communicator. He offered us the upstairs private dining space which gave our event an air of intimacy, while we still enjoyed the open layout with lots of windows and high ceilings. Frank covered all the details in phone calls and in clear email communication. I always felt confident our event would run smoothly with clear expectations. Everyone loved the appetizers and cocktails. Service flowed comfortably around our lively networking and the two staff dedicated to us worked hard to deliver friendly efficient service. I personally enjoyed the pork belly and ceviche. Many guests complimented the Latin fusion flavors and cocktails. The decor is modern, cheerful, and suits the location near the beach. Even though it was a rainy day, the restaurant is bright and airy. Street parking through the city and parking app. There is an outdoor patio to enjoy which is dog friendly when the weather is nice. Frank’s wife and co-owner Yady was kind enough to make a few remarks to our group as a woman entrepreneur. I highly recommend Casa Playa for a meal and drinks after the beach or for a casual lunch or dinner in a cheerful environment with friendly service. We love supporting independently owned businesses and are so glad we held our event at Casa Playa.

Great new restaurant just off the beach. The food service and ambience is outstanding. You will need to try the ceviche if you could come here. They have an outdoor patio that is awesome for relaxing and I’m having dinner. We can’t wait to go back.
