Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Aguas Buenas

Everything about this place is spot-on! We were in town staying at Hotel Bardo to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday and chose it over two other suggestions from our bartender, Jamar. Our cocktails were beautifully crafted; you have to try a classic margarita and a Last Word. We chose the puréed cauliflower soup and chicken liver mousse on spiced pumpkin bread for our starters. They were both rich and comforting without being heavy. Our main courses were a New York strip, the day’s special, and the pork belly. The steak was cooked perfectly and complimented with a delicious chimichurri drizzle which was not overpowering like many of them can be. The generous portion of pork was paired with a beautiful demi-glacé and an apple butter highlighting the natural sweet and salt of the belly. Dessert was a simple house made ice cream with shortbread crumbles which tasted like a Christmas memory. The price point is at the higher end, but well worth it. You are paying for quality ingredients prepared by talented people served by exceptional staff.

Well - I goofed ! I was considering several restaurants in Savannah because I eat gluten free . Let’s be honest - there is a lot of gluten in traditional Southern cooking. I booked the wrong date for our reservation! When I looked at their menu I realized there would be some GF options ! The hostess graciously accommodated my husband and I and we were able to get a table . I had a delicious meal that was gluten free ! I had the special - sea bass with risotto! Delightful ! I am grateful for their understanding during this holiday season .

Myrtle & Rose was doing a special holiday experience called Myrtle & Mistletoe and the rooftop bar was decorated beautifully with seasonal decor, and the comfortable sofa we were seated at had its own heater, cozy blanket, and festive pillows. Though it was a bit chilly we were comfy sipping delicious seasonal cocktails and beer. Service was attentive, friendly, and exceptional in every way. Whether for a festive holiday drink or anytime I would recommend Myrtle & Rose.

Wow! The Parpadelle and braised ribs were outstanding! Extremely pleased w the flowerless chocolate cake. Usually at restaurants like a dry overcooked brownie, but this was rich and delicious and just melted in your mouth. I highly recommend. Our server, Chance, was very attentive, super kind, and conversed with us sharing about the restaurant and letting us enjoy our coffee and dessert almost until they shut down. The French press was excellent!!!!

The hostess, Alex, was very nice and helpful! She was so accommodating and gave great recommendations! I would absolutely go back!
