Sur really has a lot of outstanding features, making it one of the restaurants in Playa most worth visiting.  Its strategic location on the corner of 5th Avenue and Calle Corazon makes it a perfect spot for people watching, and they have a lovely upstairs dining area if you’re looking for a more tranquil experience.  Add their comfortable, cushy seats and attentive service and you’ve got all bases covered for a relaxing dinner atmosphere.

And then there’s the main attraction:  Sur’s unique, imaginative menu.  You’ll have a hard time choosing just one meal; instead you’ll crave a sample of just about everything.  With a variety of appetizers, soups, salads, pasta, meats, pizzas and a large seafood section, Sur makes it happen for everyone in your party.  Menu gems include an arugula salad with quail eggs, a variety of steak cuts accompanied by interesting side dishes like potato-spinach-parmesan gratin, marinated chicken breast with baked sweet potato, lobster, tuna with egg plant tart, sword fish and more.  Their extensive selection of brick oven baked pizzas, both traditional and eclectic, is another great reason for multiple visits.

Sur’s ample wine list and full bar also help making your lunch or dinner memorable.  It’s a cliché, but in this case it’s really true – you will leave satisfied!

An extensive and unique menu from great steaks to brick oven pizza to fusion, personal service and an unbeatable location make Sur a dining experience to write home about.
