El Meson de la Cava - where is the parking ground and entrance?
I always go by uber now but used to park out on mirador sur. Never even thought about them having a parking lot. Back in 1999 we did enter through service entrance on contreras as my 82 year old mom could not navigate the narrow circular stairway. There is an elevator now though.

I've always felt it was good, not great but good.
I always park out front and never had a problem, as someone mentioned there is a guy out there keeping an eye on the cars.
Review writers on TripAdvisor love the place, but the food has never been out of this world for me either.
I've had nothing but outstanding food there and stellar service.
It's a go-to place when we have visitors looking for something truly different while in country.
The owner is one of the most eclectic---in a very good way---characters you'd ever want to meet.
ate there in October and thought the food was excellent as was the service ...and as cobraboy pointed out it is truly different
a bit on the expensive side ...but I would definitely go back
and you can park right outside ...there is a guy to watch the cars

Exactly the outcome expected by design from this place and I share the same view.
It is definitely one of my go to places when we have out of town guests. Started going there many years ago and have never been disappointed yet.
I'll give you an example of stellar service at the place.
I generally order Pina Coladas for our guests, served in shelled coconuts with the top cut off. Once I asked if the chef could cut out a couple of chunks of fresh coconut meat from one of the coconuts for our guests, and 5 minutes later an entire platter of coconut chunks, with the brown skin removed and artfully arranged on the plate with sliced marischino cherries, was brought to the table. No extra cost.

Parts of Santo Domingo are hardly a "third world ghetto city."
This restaurant is one of the most unique dining experiences in the hemisphere.
But not much of a view, because you're in a cave...
Sad that some of us do not get to go out and expand the safety ring around us. So many beautiful and yet exquisite places to dine at in Santo Domingo.
True.
Santo Domingo for us defines "a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there..." You're right: numerous interesting restaurants and places to visit..
Problem is that quality goes hand-to-hand with money and spending. This is he mano-a-mano some of us steer away from.
Guys, Picalongas are fine for a day or two, same holds true for the pica pollos. Get out and spend some quality time and eat nice delicatessen at a good up-scale restaurant for once.
