Playa del Carmen restaurants. 2011

hi. there are some restaurant threads here, but they're mostly from several years ago. so, it might be nice to get a more up to date listing of people's favorite restaurants.  we're going to visit PDC pretty soon, and I'll do my best to give some reviews and recommendations.

 

What are your favorite places in Playa del Carmen?

And, if anyone can let me (and others) know where the best places for lobster are, that would be great.

I just posted this in another thread.. while its not lobster... it is one of my favorite PDC restaurants!

 

May I suggest Piola on Calle 38 between 5th Avenue and 1st Avenue

Playa del Carmen Tel: +52 984-803-4229. It is one of my favorite places to eat here in Playa and not so common that most tourists find out about it! They are known for their pizza, but they have everything on the menu at a great price! Its Italian and a nice romantic setting. Everybody I've taken there loves the food. Great chicken and arugula salads, fresh pasta and tasty arrachera! Plus they have fantastic wine by the glass all at a reasonable price. You might be able to get everybody outside on the patio and eat by candle light!

Thank you!  We'll try to check it out while we're there.  By any chance, could I bring my little dog (5 lbs) to the restaurant (in the outside seating part)?  

 

If anyone could speak about restaurants where dogs are welcome, I'm all ears.
