thanks for the suggestions.

I have not eaten at Il Mare, but friends that came down with us had dinner there in October and said it was very good. They brought me some leftover pasta with seafood I ate the next day and it was very tasty. My husband MUST eat at Rufo's each time we are in town once and always has the pork ribs. Rufo's cooks most of the food on a charcoal grill. More meat then seafood but the seafood they have is very good, such as fish fillet, usually mahi or red snapper. We also ate at Chendo's in October with 12 friends and family. Also very good, very friendly service. Much more seafood on the menu and from recommendations on this board, I asked for the bacon wrapped camerones (which were also filled with cheese). They were deep fried but VERY good. I think just about everyone had seafood and everyone was happy with their dinners. As another poster said, at both Rufo's and Chendo's you don't have a view but the food is great. I haven't been to the KauKan in a number of years but the rooftop restaurant was very good when we were there and the view (as with Il Mare) is to die for! To bad Lety's is out, her coconut shrimp is to die for!
One added restaurant not mentioned if you are looking for great view/food although more expensive is the restaurant at the Brisas del Mar on Playa la Madera. Right on the beach, great service and in my opinion great food. We stay right next door every year and usually eat there at least once. Make sure you have Francisco do some Spanish coffee's for you to end your dinner with if you go there! Always love the show! Enjoy!
