On Yelp, Laura J, from New York, NY found Puerto Plata when coming out from New York City.

 

“My friends and I stumbled upon this establishment while randomly taking a trip to [the] nautical mile in Freeport,” she wrote. “We drove all the way from Staten Island to Long Island just to have some of this seafood… They do have a location in Brooklyn but I will come out to Long Island again just because of the vibe.”

 

Lili R, from Nassau County, said this is one of two locations.

 

“Their sister restaurant is located in Brooklyn and it's insanely popular,” she wrote.
