Great place to eat. Bit pricey but the salmon and lobster soup were superb. Highly recommend this restaurant. I was a little apprehensive after reading some reviews but it was quickly dispelled when I got here. We sat outside and watched the sunset. Our waiter, Felix, was one of the best servers I have encountered in my travel - very cordial, knowledgeable about the menu items and very interesting to talk to about the restaurant and San Juan. For dessert, get the crème brûlée. It’s tremendous how all the items mesh. We really enjoyed Cana.

Swordfish incredibly tough dry and not to standard. All else was great - the snapper and mahi mahi. Very nice dessert treat for birthdays being celebrated.

The chicken was a little overcooked, but everything else was excellent. The “Arroz mamposteao” was the best I have ever tasted and the goat cheese cake was out of this world.

Cana "Canya" is located on property at the fabulous old El San Juan, now operated by Fairmont. The public areas, both indoor and outdoor are absolutely charming. I did not stay at the hotel. The traditional Puerto Rican fare was amazing, the tostones and monfongo were fabulous, as was the tomatoe salad. my only complaint was the organic chicken breast, which was over cooked. I would have sent it back, but there was so much of everything else that we were more than full. The wine list is excellent and reasonably priced.
