    I especially liked the ambiance of the restaurant. They have very interesting cocktails and very good desserts made from local produce and based on Puerto Rican cuisine. Very good all around experience

    I consider myself incredibly picky with high standards. I come from a restaurant family, this restaurant is the best restaurant I have ever been too. Absolutely incredible. Better than any place I have been in the states and the Caribbean.
