Muelle De San Blas Seafood and Grill

What a surprise! I always pass this place and decided to go on a Wednesday night… expected either amazing food or a disaster, but was honestly pleasantly surprised!

The staff is friendly and attentive. Our waitress Maria gave us great insights about the food and what to order.

The food was delicious, flavorful and actually seasoned. We had order the shrimp fettuccine pasta with peppers and mushrooms in alfredo sauce, it was perfect!

The prices are evenly dispersed, you’ve got a good mix of inexpensive and expensive entrees and the seafood actually seems fresh too so that’s a positive!

The inside is decorated beautifully and everything is incredibly clean! Definitely a family friendly place, and perfect for large groups. This restaurant is on par with some of the more high end spots in Raleigh in my opinion. Definitely give them a try!

Over all rating would be 5 stars.
The food is fantastic and the server was great!
When you walk into the restaurant it has a very upscale feel with its chic marble looking tables and beautiful well stocked bar with a very open feeling atmosphere. This restaurant looks like it can accommodate parties with its back room space.

A few Cons…(I’m sorry to say this but I want to be brutally honest with my review so it’ll help a business improve and it’ll help customers be well informed before choosing a restaurant to dine at)

1) The chips weren’t warm when they were brought to the table. I feel that they should be warm….. has a fresher taste to them when the chips are warm.

2)the music is loud. It would be difficult to have a conversation with your family/friends or date you bring here. So it would encourage someone to have to speak over the music to properly have a conversation… which means on a busy day (keeping in mind the open floor plan) everyone would be speaking loudly and it would be even harder for anyone to hear anyone. Let alone servers taking orders.

3)I would encourage a bilingual translation for English as well as Spanish on the menus
The menu is mostly Spanish with some English labels…or in parentheses there are some English words that tell you what’s in it but it doesn’t really describe what the dish is. So I feel like I’m ordering blind. (As English is my language and I am not fluent in Spanish)

Overall the restaurant has room for growth. It’s not major problems. Just small changes that I feel should be made to make the restaurant feel more relaxed, and more inclusive. However keep in mind sometimes it’s paying attention to the little details that can impact a business a lot.
Good luck on everything. I love the service and the food :) I will be back again with my significant other ❤️

The food was perfectly delicious and the decor design was upbeat and cheerful. Sadly, service did not meet expectations because the server didn't know enough English to understand our questions about the menu or to meet our needs when requesting simple items. Our drink glasses emptied and were not refilled. Pricing was too high on several items such as dishes using tilapia.

The service coming in was great! Food was delicious. The only negative things I can say was the Mexican music was WAY TOO LOUD and it took well over 30 minutes to get the check when they clearly knew we were done. I will come back because the food was terrific!!
