Bonao Bar & Grill

My boyfriend and I came to Bonao for a dinner date. We should've stuck with our regular spot. I wasn't happy with the food. The service was good. I had the Rosito with skirt steak and he had the salmon. The steak was cooked well. I asked for it to be cooked medium well. The salmon had the skin on the back and wasn't seasoned for taste. We also ordered a side on sweet plantains but got it on the platter and had to ask for the mash that goes with his meal.Also it was kinda cold inside, but was told hoods and hats are not allowed. 10 mins later two guys walked in with baseball hats but weren't told the same policy.We decided when we left that we won't be returning. Needs improvement!

This place a has a nice dark ambiance. They have ample TVs. They provide hookah which is why we came here. It did last a pretty long time. The empanadas were flavorful. The bacon burger I'll give it a 7/10. It was slightly over cooked than what I wanted it to be. The Henny colada was strong but it needed some stirring, all the liquor was at the bottom. The music was mostly Latin music but a little rap and Dancehall was played.What we weren't told was after 8 it's cash only even we came little after that time. On the receipt they charged us a 3 percent card fee but how can you if we can't use a card. Our waitress said it's something new and that it was ok the door. I forgot to double check. I feel like it should be written ok their website and on their menu as well. Now imagine 6 people getting up to withdraw to pay. Eventually we were able to pay cash but we had to remind her to take out that fee. I also came here because the night before my cousin came and said their sushi was good and guess what that was only for weekends. So disappointed.I would come back to try the sushi and for hookah!!!

We absolutely love Bonao Bar & Grill with great food, great service, and great music. We would go late at night to enjoy a night out together. We love the fact that's it's open until 4 am on Friday and Saturday nights, Sunday's at 3am, and 2 am on the other days. They have great Spanish food and other dishes, Hookah, and tasty cocktails. Anytime you are looking for a place that opens late and you want to have fun at the same time, fantastic food, then Bonao Bar & Grill is the place to go!

I have seen this restaurant so many times over the years but never went in but decided to try it out. The restaurant is pretty small and they sometimes have performances. The food was delicious! We had empanadas (beef, chicken, and guava cheese), skirt steak with chimichurri and yuca mash, salmon with passion fruit sauce and yuca mash, passion fruit tres leche, and flam. The cocktails were beautifully crafted.

We were a group of 6 that came here on a Saturday night. When we arrived it was not crowded at all but got more packed while being there. I was not drinking but my group stated that the drinks were strong. The music was so loud that it was vibrating off the walls. That is usually my vibe but we were talking and it was hard to hear. The hookah was okay but it was nothing special with limited selection of flavors available.Be careful when you are eating here. While in the place, they stated they do not take credit cards after 8pm. We found this interesting because is not posted anywhere in the restaurant. The table next to us paid with a credit card with no problem and we felt that we were being singled out since we did not speak Spanish. Also, on the check there was a 3% credit card fee but if you do not take credit cards and I have to pay cash, why is there a fee. We talked to the manager and he stated that he would make this exception and allow us to pay with credit card. I felt that the waitress unprofessional and had an attitude. It is not worth the hassle to visit this location and they will never get my business.

I am a visitor in town. I was brought her by a local resident. It is small and cozy. It looks clean even under club lighting. It doesn't seat a large crowd, so it may be good to reserve, especially if it's a special occasion. The staff for nice and prompt to greet us. The service was pretty good. We all had drinks and there were no complaints of weak drinks. The food was good but average in taste. My only negative is how loud the music is. It seems unusually loud for the size of the place. You can hear the person next to you. They had a steady flow f customers for pickup orders. I hope this helps and you enjoy your visit.

Excellent food, excellent drinks, excellent atmosphere. The food was really good. We ordered fried calamari, guava and cheese empanadas and guacamole. The empanadas were the best. MUST try. All the appetizers were tasty. Main courses were excellent as well. The shrimp mofongo was tasty. The sauce was delicious and the shrimps were perfectly cooked. The salmon was really good. Highly recommended. The steak mofongo wasn't our favorite but it was still good. The chicken tenders were so good. They tasted just like the ones from DR. The chicken wings and sweet plantains were delicious too. The skirt steak with mashed yuca was tasty. Food presentation was nice. The atmosphere was GREAT! The DJ was on point. Music was loud but it was enjoyable. The only cons: I didn't like people smoking hooka but I do understand this is part of the establishment. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Drinks were strong! Very strong to our taste. But that's good because you get what you pay for. Looking forward to go back! Such a good and recommended place.

Great $8 happy hour. Service is really nice. It's like a se rest lounge/ restaurant in the middle of nowhere or really a commercial block. Parking isn't bad. Stick to chicken or steak don't try anything fish related here. They also have hookah.

This place is in my neighborhood and I never stopped by but heard good things. I only stopped by for drinks since I was at a brunch prior. Great vibes, I wish they played other music besides spanish music to mix it up. The bartender was great. No issues with the drinks. Next time I'll try food and hookah!

I was expecting traditional Dominica cusin smh but I will say the plating is/was gorgeously done!!!
