Neighbourhood gem
Great for fine wines
Good for special occasions

A serene atmosphere, extensive wine cellar, the most elegant bar, fantastic Caribbean food and Seafood with influences of the best international cuisine in Isla Verde. Mar del Caribe Restaurant, which incorporates a spacious lounge, has a touch of exclusive design, such as the impressive wooden-lined bar. The decor, a combination of the exquisite works of the artist Rogelio Maldonado, the high ceilings in wood, the tables with tablecloths and napkins give a refreshing touch, with the feeling of being in a colonial hacienda.

Though I'm a NYer, I've dined out a great deal in San Juan and Carolina over the years, and I don't think I've had a better dinner than here at Mar del Caribe! The ambience and service were top rate and every dish we ordered was excellent. I had the branzino w garlic sauce - 3 sizable filets cooked to perfection. Even the rice and beans side order was outstanding. Our group also ordered shrimp, snapper, and salmon, all of which were delicious. Drinks were very good as well. We had no room for dessert but they offered us all a coquitos complimentary. Even they were out of this world. Because this place is a bit off the beaten track, it doesn't seem to attract the same volume of tourists as other fine restaurants here ... but it will. Top choice!

Lovely dining experience here. Absolutely one of the best restaurants the 3 of us dined at during our 6 night stay in Isla Verde. The outside of this restaurant is very unassuming. It’s much nicer once you go inside (after handing your car keys to the valet parking attendant- they fit patrons’ cars into their lot out front). There is a full bar here. We started with red wine. Warm, fresh slices of garlic bread were served. The fried calamari appetizer was one of the best versions we have ever had! For our main dishes we had a seared, sliced tuna steak, cooked absolutely perfectly, crusted with sesame seeds, and served with a light, very flavorful sauce; red snapper with the house sauce (you choose from 4-5 sauces); and a seafood dish. Each main comes with your choice of a side. I would describe recommended attire as smart casual - ie, polo shirt with collar for men, no jeans. Lovely dinner and an easy 10 minute drive from our Isla Verde condo using Google Maps.

My birthday, my friends had never been there before. They were delighted and can't wait to come visit. It's a gem a short walk beyond Isla Verde, our neighbors.

Among the best “local” upscale Puerto Rican dining experiences you can wish for. Highly recommended. Intimate. Excellent, personalized non-intrusive, attentive service with excellent all-round selections. A lot of the seafood comes directly from local fishermen.

After reading several reviews, I was under the impression that the place was a bit more casual than anticipated. Regardless, the food was great (as most have said), and the hostess and waiters were kind and attentive. Just make sure to wear something “smart casual.”

Considering it was Mother’s Day they were prepared with a preselected good options menu. Yet were willing to respond to special request that were not in the offered menu.
