Restaurant hits, and one miss

Of the ones listed, we're only familiar with Amuleto. Pricy, as you mentioned, but well worth it, especially when we bring guests down and they're anxious to say "Thank You" with a great meal. Some others we really like: El Manglar (for lunch to watch the crocodiles), Il Mare, Daniel's, Casa Vieja and the late, lamented Chendo's. Of course, there are many other good ones and we hope to find more when we return January 2nd.
