Hahahaha....
We did not go to the restaurant of our choice on the NC as yet... this is something for the next weekend or so...
Instead we went to give a free demo with our dogs for some orphanage in SD, and enjoyed dinner in a very small restaurant on the Malecon. named "David and Christian".
Now this restaurant, or "brasserie" like we would call it, was not Michelin quality, but service was great, and the food was good. 2 entrees (1 steak which melted in the mouth, and 1 imported mussels), a half bottle of housewine which was very decent, 2 coffees, and an amaretto came to 1,410 rds. Plus 2 free digestives of Punta Cana Extra Viejo Rum.
My report will come... lol

I know you are looking for fine dining, but I have found in the Dom Rep, the more we have paid for a meal, the less we liked it. That being said, Los Tres Cocos between Costambar and Cofresi is very nice. Stefy and Natale's (same road as LTC) is very good, beautiful app's, lots of wines, but the service stinks.
Olly, as Acira said, we did not have the time, and I still owe her a dinner. (ssssttt... but by postponing, and postponing I was hoping to get away with only treating her to 1 dinner in 2 years. Thanks for blowing up that idea 
)
Having said that, we had Belgian friends visiting us, and they went fine dining in Casa 21 in Sosua, and raved about the good food, and excellent service. Especially the trio of tuna, apparently.
So, this month, somehow, sometime we are going to give it a try.
I will let you know

Otra Cosa - classical french dinner for 2 - DR$ 4,000 and up
Sea Horse Ranch - more fusion dinner for 2 - DR$ 3,500 and up - they have excellent lobster
Both hands down the best on the North Coast
If there is a wind blowing - go to Sea Horse Ranch - they have a glass wall
Been eating at both a lot for the past four weeks

Finally I got my fine dining evening, yihaa
We went to the Waterfront restaurant in Sosua.
Very nice warm evening, cool breeze and nice waterfront view.
Dinner was delicious with for me as starter Tartare of Tuna, main Tuna Steak with peanut/sesame drizzling, desert pasta with chocolate which was delicious. The wines were sublime and the coffees with a tick afterwards to close the dinner were to die for.
Very friendly service, impecable, alert waiters and every question answered with a very well meant smile.
I really really enjoyed it and had a very very nice evening.
Thanks for bringing up this restaurant!

Me_again,
Coffee with a tick is a coffee, laced with alcohol. I had the Montecristo, which was coffee with rum and grand marnier, and whipped cream on top. A very nice touch is that they prepare and flambe the coffee at the side of your table. They make a whole show of it.
As Acira said impeccable, but relaxed service with a well meant smile. Not necessary for us, but the waiters also speak English. One of them started telling us all the languages he spoke, but by the time he mentioned he was also fluent in Chinese I knew he was pulling our leg.
Nice surroundings with a beautiful view, soft jazz music in the background, so for once you did not have to yell at your partner.
I had the bisque of lobster, and have to say it can compete with the best I ever had. As main I had shrimp in a brandy cream sauce which also was very nice. Not a dessert eater, so I forced myself to have 2 coffees with a tick
Very nice winelist, but not cheap. I looked very longingly at the Chablis Premier Cru, but decided a 100$ was a bit over the top (by miles the most expensive white wine on the list). We chose a nice white wine, and for the first time here, it was served as it should be.
We will certainly frequent this restaurant regularly.
