Restaurant Maria
About This Spot
Stepping into Restaurant Maria, you're immediately met with a gentle ocean breeze and a sense of calm that seems to stretch out with the horizon. Nestled right on the shores of Sosua Ocean Village, this spot carries a relaxed but refined energy — where the bright Dominican sun meets attentive service and thoughtfully prepared food. It’s a place designed for lingering, where time slows just enough to appreciate the view and the moment.
The atmosphere is open and airy, blending effortlessly with the rhythm of the nearby waves. Whether arriving for a leisurely breakfast or a sunset dinner, the mood here encourages connection — with friends, loved ones, or even a book in hand. The setting pairs wonderfully with plates that carry a mix of local flavor and familiar favorites, following a pace that respects both the appetite and the daylight.
Rather than rushing through a meal, guests find themselves savoring the textures and tastes: fresh fish grilled with care, rich risottos, and vibrant salads that balance heartiness with brightness. Cocktails like a piña colada or an Aperol Spritz fit seamlessly into the backdrop of crashing waves and warm conversation, each sip amplifying the relaxed, welcoming rhythm of the restaurant.
What makes Restaurant Maria feel particularly special is its mindful harmony of place and people. The service flows with sincerity, attentive without ever feeling intrusive — a quality not lost on those who return time and again, drawn by both the generous portions and the genuine warmth that the team extends. Large groups find thoughtful accommodations, and intimate gatherings settle into the space as if it were an extension of home.
Ultimately, Restaurant Maria is less about the rush of dining and more about the joy of experience: the gentle clink of glasses overlooking the sea, the subtle mingling of local ingredients with global touches, and the steady sense of belonging that lingers long after the meal is over.

Beautiful setting overlooking the ocean is the big selling point. Nice selection of food and drink. On the expensive side but portions are very generous. Service is fine. You can walk in without signing up to the waterpark. Very strict about no outside food or drink - we had to check our water bottle at the door (got it back upon exit). Were out of some menu items e.g. mahi-mahi, but still lots of good choices. You can check out the impressive infinity pool, but extra charge to use it (get the day pass if you're not staying here and want to use the pool).

Very nice, food was fantastic, service was on point. Had the Passion fruit colada was the most delicious drink. View was nice.

Beautiful restaurant by the sea, with amazing view of the ocean. The food was great, we had tuna and lobster and it was delicious. The service was great and they all really took care of us, we had the sweet Gabriella at our table and she gave us really nice service.

Yensi and Alfredo were fantastic - we came in with a large group (14) and they were happy to accommodate us immediately. The service was quick, the food all came out perfectly and we will be back in the coming days. Incredible hospitality, tasty food and cold drinks - can’t wait to see the view in the daylight.

Been going to this restaurant for over 4 years now and each time, I’ve enjoyed my stay weather it’s for a business meeting or a romantic lunch/dinner. The is restaurant is on the premises of Sosua Ocean village so as an owner we get a 10% discount on our bill, which is a nice little perk. I have always enjoyed my meals and drinks here along with my husband and friends. If nothing else the view is just spectacular and will continue to frequent this restaurant

The food is amazing, the service is spectacular and the atmosphere is complete perfection. We also spent a day here enjoying the pool. It was very peaceful and not crowded. The infinity pool was delightful. I can’t wait to come back.

I had a wonderful meal! Salmon and Cesar salad. Perfectly cooked salmon and fresh salad with shrimp. Great views. Service was perfect. One of the best meals I have had in this area. On par with restaurants in New York City where I live. Recommended highly!

This was a great experience. Overall, the pancakes were a little on the firm side for me. But the food is great and fulfilling and the customer service is great. I love eating by the water. Everything was clean and well maintained.
