This was an incredible experience. Neon Sun balances incredible food with a comfortable, chill, classy experience. Everything was off-the-chart delicious and thoughtfully-presented. Couscous and beef poke were standout highlights. It’s BYOB which is actually great, as you can pair the food with a wine of your choice. Can’t wait to go back and try more of their eclectic menu. Met some old friends to try and new spot in town. The food was visually stunning and delicious, served in an an eclectic atmosphere that made you feel like home (but secretly better). Scallops (pictured), chefs kiss. Beef dip sando, lip smacking good. Matcha sunrise (sunset???, pictured), must try. Also pictured is the cucumber carpaccio, two thumbs up. Definitely worth the first time visit and dozens of return trips! Neon Sun had some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. They were able to take fresh, simple ingredients and put them into dishes that tasted layered and complex. We had ceviche, tomato carpaccio, scallops, pearled couscous, and fried plantain. I can’t even say which was my favorite because every bite from each dish was so good. The vibes were chill and cozy, we sat for a few hours enjoying the afternoon here

I was somewhat hesitant and suspicious of this place when I looked at it from the outside. I had low expectations but I have a goal of trying every restaurant in San Pedro in the next year. When I went in, there was a well-behaved kid sitting at a table coloring on the back of a menu while his mother was waiting tables. There was a gentleman asking Alexa to dim the lights. The chairs, tables, cutlery, and dinner napkins are all from different places. I have to give this place an award for the most eclectic restaurant in San Pedro. I had the scallops which had the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and salt. The beef dip was so good I ordered two. Also had the Israeli Couscous. I picked the bowl clean. There was no pressure to order alcohol because they don't serve any. Definitely a place out of a story book. Can't wait to try the rest of their menu.

This place is absolutely exceptional and underrated. Tapas style restaurant highly recommend. My first time here and I will definitely come back. Atmosphere, service and food .. amazing. The presentation of the food matched the quality and exceeded our expectations. Didn’t take pictures of all the food we had. I definitely recommend the fried plantain dessert I don’t know how they did it but they made it taste like a donut and we loved it. Best plantain I’ve ever had and exceeded our expectations. We also had rose, lavender tea, Charcuterie board, asparagus salad. Definitely give this hidden gem a try. 😋
