This place was amazing! The atmosphere is very relaxing. The food and drinks were delicious! I had the Rum Revivals. It’s a popular choice and I see why. We enjoyed the grilled octopus, tequenos, jerk chicken, and empanadas. The treats leches cake was huge and could easily feed four people. Highly recommend you making a reservation here. There is a small kids menu as well.
Strong Water Tavern: A Caribbean Delight at Lowe's Sapphire Falls Resort Strong Water Tavern at Lowe's Sapphire Falls Resort offers a delightful escape with its unique Caribbean-inspired menu and vibrant atmosphere. During my recent visit, I opted for the Short Rib Huarache, and it was a fantastic choice. The flavors were rich and authentic, with tender short rib perfectly complemented by the tangy pickled onions. It was a truly satisfying and memorable dish. Beyond the delicious food, the service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring a pleasant dining experience.
This was our fourth visit to Strong Water Tavern. The food is always fantastic and the service is outstanding! You must remember that this establishment serves Tapas, not full-sized meals. The goal is to order several things from different parts of the world and share. On this visit, we had the Grilled Octopus and the Jerked Chicken. The Octopus was cooked perfectly with the right amount of char. The Jerk Chicken was seasoned with the right amount of spices and the meat was very juicy. (I'm married to a Jamaican woman so I know what I'm talking about.) Our waitress, Demi, was out of this world! She was very attentive and we didn't have to wait for anything. I highly recommend Strong Water Tavern. They are top-notch!
All around perfect experience. From the service to the food itself, it was fantastic! The menu is tapas style, so I recommend getting at least 2 plates per person. There are tons of options and it spans from different styles of food — Puerto Rico, Cuban, etc. — which is really cool if you’re into trying new things! I recommend the goat dish if you like lamb and similar meats.
This is probably one of my favorite hotel restaurants. The drinks were great and so was the food. Skip the beer and wine here, have one of their rum cocktails. We actually went here twice during our stay. Would probably say to stay away from the kids cheese quesadia. The other kids items were good. The other restaurant downstairs in this hotel was disappointing.
Very pleasant experience at Strongwater after a day at the parks. The service was phenomenal, huge shoutout to Angel, our server. He knew everything about the rum list, the dishes, the history, just a great all around experience. Food was great and the drinks were varied and all original takes on classic cocktails. Would highly recommend even if not staying on the property.
Strong Water Tavern is located inside the "Sapphire Falls" resort at Universal. Once you enter the lobby, continue straight back, and you will see the check-in desk. We arrived before our reservation and were seated immediately. This restaurant is tapas style, so small plates to share. We tried the arroz con Pollo, jerk chicken, black Angus beef sliders, beefsteak empanadas, and chicken tenders. Each dish tasted delicious, and we had zero complaints.
Amazing amazing amazing. Amazing food, amazing service, and amazing atmosphere. Our family always stays at Sapphire Lowes and we always dine at Strong Water. Angel has always assisted us in our dining experience, he is AMAZING. His recommendations are stop on. Ask for him, Angel. His colleagues are amazing and helpful also. Enjoy your dining experience.
