Waited for a while for a hostess to seat us. Then waited for someone to arrive at the table for a long time. Compared our other dining experiences on the property, the service here was subpar.
The grilled fish tacos had zero flavor but were edible. The pork sandwich was below average at best. The fresh made chips & salsa were good.

Pretty good but the sad thing is most chain restaurants would taste better than streams restaurants. Texas Roadhouse, Olive garden, even Applebee's at times

One of the several restaurants at the all- inclusive resort, Now Saphire in Cancun Riviera Maya. The food was good and the service excellent. We ate there 3 times while we were there, and only one meal was not very good and that was the baked chicken which was to dry to eat.
Well, it was ok... It's resort food - in Mexico - the pork ribs were tasty, so were the potato wedges, my friends liked the steak and short ribs, DO NOT get ANY other salad but the wedge salad - NONE of the others are edible! The dessert selection SOUNDS amazing, but they all tasted like middle school cafeteria versions of the desserts we get in the U.S. - not worth your stomach space - go get an ice cream cone from the buffet!
I came here on my first night in Cancún with my fiancé for dinner. Bluewater Grill was highly recommended by a few of my friends that have actually visited the Secrets the Vine. We had the honor of having Armando as our server. I read a few reviews online also to get a general idea of what to order as the entire menu looked so well thought out. After a hard debate with my fiancé, we decided on the Octopus carpaccio and the Caesar salad for starters. Both came out quickly and both were surprisingly well plated and delicious! For our entrees, my fiancé ordered the grilled salmon and I ordered the signature steak.
For sides, the salted spinach, grilled vegetables and the creamy artichoke. We were disappointed they ran out of their smoked corn.
For the main course, we tried each other’s dish and I can honestly say, The salmon was cooked to perfection. It was buttery and melted in my mouth. I wanted to take another bite but resisted.
The signature steak was seared to a true medium rare, and the gravy that accompanied it was savory and a good pairing. Excellent and devoured within minutes!
All the sides were a little small but gave us a chance to taste and enjoy each one. So basically, it was portioned just right!
We are staying here for 4 nights and we will be returning to try the other dishes!
Definitely recommend to anyone that has the privilege to visit Secrets the Vine!
