Very expensive but very nice K restaurant at the Yatt hotel
Many attentive servers around us. Decent food but too exclusive prices. Very good lamb burger. And more accessible price.

We celebrated our anniversary here. The food and service were outstanding. I have a number of food allergies including gluten, dairy, onion, garlic, and peppers. The chef created a special sauce for my entree and they even made a dairy free chocolate mousse with a raspberry filling. The whole experience was phenomenal. The chef and our server Carlos took excellent care of us - it was very enjoyable! Highly recommend.

This is the best kosher restaurant in Playa del Carmen! Starting with the excellent service (Francisco was the best!) and the most delision food over the most beautiful view. I'm staying in playa del Carmen for multiple nights, and this is the only place I'm eating dinner at.

So to break it down in three parts food service and atmosphere as follows:
This menu is everything wrong with copying social media. We ordered based on server recommendations the only item that was good was the hard-shell short rib tacos. The arancini while crispy lacked flavour and the sauce overly acidic.
The corn ribs were inedible they just cut them in four pieces and did not remove the core.
The lachmajun was dry and cold there was barely a tsp of tahini on the side.
The quinoa chicken was so hard my wife almost broke her teeth so she exchanged for barbacoa tacos which were definately not beef cheek and were not smoked just stewed beef.
Lastly we ordered a souffle which was definitely not a souffle. I am not certain but it was likely a commercially made product.
The service seemed nice although the pace of service did not make sense. Three main issue I take is the recommendations he made and the rush to sell us super expensive water not telling us there were other options.
Ambiance was cliche but nice the chairs were not for larger humans but it is manageable.

The food was incredible and the hotel and restaurant had a great ambiance. The waiter was well informed and let us know about a few great off the menu options. The ribs were great and they even threw in a free dessert for our anniversary!

Great atmosphere but really not great food. We were expecting to get a grilled chicken breast like we saw online in the pictures but ended up getting some kind of baked with crispy outside chicken that had no flavor with the sides being polenta and asparagus... The polenta was three bites and the asparagus was only the stems as a decoration. The mojito we ordered as well was flavorless until we asked for lime to be put in it when there was originally no lime when that's what a mojito is in the first place? Overpriced but great view over looking the ocean and live guitarist was nice. My boyfriend and I left still hungry and 150$ poorer.

Where do I start? This was easily one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. From the impeccably prepared food- all fresh and wonderfully flavored- the unique and creative cocktails, the beautiful and chic ambiance, and the wonderful service, I could not have asked for more from a restaurant. Our server, Juan, went out of his way to make sure we were happy with everything, even remaking a cocktail because I didn't love it the first time. They even brought us a special dessert for our anniversary. Also shoutout to Israel for the education on Mezcal and "Memo" the bartender. If I could give The Grll Playa 6 stars, I would!
