What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
El Dorado is praised for its incredible food, particularly the massive meat portions and delicious clam chowder. The service is frequently highlighted as top-notch, with staff making guests feel like family. While the ambiance is generally enjoyed, some find the portion sizes overwhelming and a few have been disappointed by menu inaccuracies or rushed experiences. The salad bar could also be better organized, though it offers a good variety.
"The food was incredible. Mr. Domingo was our server and he did an amazing job. We also ran into to Mr. Tony from yesterday and he made us feel so welcome!
My husband had the salmon and I had the ribeye and clam chowder soup. Yes people, that’s clam chowder soup and it was amazing. Not sure who the cook was but he or she did an excellent job tonight!!
Just to clarify! This is the El Dorado at the Grand Palladium Bavaro Suites and Resort"

"Was expecting so much more from the upscale steakhouse. The baked potato was the size of a 50-cent piece. The ribeye steak looked like roadkill. The menu said they had bone-in ribeye which they said the menu was wrong. I asked for a replacement which they did NOT do.
The various salads on the menu they do NOT have, but they have a small salad bar. The beef rib was very good according to my wife. A very disappointed 47 anniversary!"

"me and my family of 12 attended this restaurant at the Grand Palladium resort we were staying at. this was a refreshing service experience after the meal we went out for the night before which was below average.
the service here was lovely. we had a great waitress, she was attentive and timely. the restaurant decor was on par to the theme of the restaurant and i liked the music. no ac though!!
when it comes to the food, we had some hits and some misses. we started with the salad bar, which then moved on to appetizers, which was also met with 3 plates of chicken wings (to share), and then with our mains which were MASSIVE pieces of meat, and it was accompanied with 4 more plates with more food on it! keep in mind we did not order any of these accompanying plates, just our appys and entrees.
i personally really liked my meal, and i ate as much as i could of the rest of the food served, but it was just too much. maybe they thought because we were such a big group they thought we would eat more??? but there was so much food left over because of how much we tried to stuff in before the mains even came out to avoid waste.
overall, the experience was good, but we felt bad that we didn’t finish everything."
