This experience was absolutely wonderful! We came here for my friends birthday and this was literally the best time ever! The food was phenomenal . I had the braised oxtail, shrimp tacos , and the Hook drink! Natalie our server was sooo sweet and gave us the best service ever! Thank you guys so much for making this experience so special. I would 10/10 recommend! ☺️
Great experience at Lobo de Mar. Natalie welcomed us warmly—and the handwritten reservation note was such a thoughtful, personal touch that really stood out. Karen provided excellent service and guided us to great choices. The Croquetas de Jamón Ibérico were perfectly crisp, the Panceta en Tres Cocciones was rich and flavorful, and the Ceviche Cimarrón was fresh and vibrant. Highly recommend for both the food and the attention to detail.
Thank you so much Jonathan and Natalie, one of my favorite experiences for dinner in the city. We had 4 different appetizers and an amazing bottle of wine with dessert! They provided our favorite song and had a table full of flowers for my wife and I. 5 stars all day!
Great experience! The staff was excellent and very attentive. Nataly, the hostess, was so sweet and super friendly, and David went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The food was absolutely delicious, and the DJ kept the vibe going with great music. Definitely a fun place to spend the evening!
Had such a great dinner here tonight. Nataly greeted us at the entrance and was honestly amazing, super warm, welcoming and friendly from the second we walked in. Easily some of the best food we’ve had in Cartagena. Everything was spot on, but the Croquetas de Atún were next level, absolutely recommend those. Would 100% come back and definitely recommend
