Wow. That was a great restaurant and a favorite too. ☹️

Looks like the typical abandoned building around Sosua/ Puerto Plata.

That's on Independencia isn't it, in Gazcue near to the cemetery?

Yes, not too far away. I dumped a lot of moolah in there over the years.

For big occasions we'd get the Alaskan Crab stuff lobsters. Legendary.

Weren't they going to relocate? I thought I remember hearing that.

They have a second restaurant in Silver Sun Gallery. I think I financed that one too.

The first one was opened in 1954.

This one is Silver Sun.

For many years there just wasn't many quality restaurants in Santo Domingo. Cantabrico was one of them.

Vesuvio was another, as was El Chino de Marisco.

Who remembers the name of the restaurant on the second floor of Plaza de Galerias on Ave 27?

They have a second restaurant in Silver Sun Gallery, if I'm not mistaken . I think I financed that one too.

Is it on the 1st floor where Applebee's is? There was an Italian restaurant also, can't remember the name.

Wasn't there a Chinese restaurant in the Hotel Embajador many moons ago?

Yes. It's a Spanish restaurant, BTW. They know how to do seafood.

I need to go one of these days. Silver Sun used to be my favorite for Saturday matinees until Downtown opened. Restaurants, Cigar shop, theater.. what more do you want?

I didn't think there was much left at the Silver Sun Gallery.

It's 'out of service' for a while. Waiting for the Villar family to redevelop it

FWIW, over the decades of times I went there to eat, they always had the same staff. Amazing.
