The restaurant is nice. We ordered some apps and a New York strip to share. The apps had good flavor. The portion sizes were small. The oysters were the smallest I have ever seen. Our steak was cold when it arrived at the table. We sent it back and instead of a refire, they just threw the steak pieces on a flattop to warm it up. I would expect that a a Dennys, but not at this place. We asked for the manager and the Chef and a manager came out and the chef was rude and dismissive. We were comp for a couple of drinks and an app. $150 usd later, we left hungry and upset. We will not be back.

Wonderful atmosphere, and the food was spectacular. Our server was very attentive to our needs as well. Definitely a hidden gem in Old San Juan that you must try. Be prepared to break the bank as this was our most expensive meal on our trip. It was all worth it in the end for the experience we had.

The views from the roof of the Alma Hotel make a beautiful backdrop for a delicious meal. We shared four different small plates and were stuffed by the end. Each was so different and delicious. Would highly recommend this spot.

The hotel and restaurant are really well designed. The skyline of the historic Old San Juan landmarks provide the rooftop a very nice atmosphere. The service was good. The food was fine. We had several of the tapas dishes. I was a little disappointed with the portion of the main ingredients in some of them. The tuna aguachile barely had any tuna; it was mostly watermelon and cherry tomatoes. The same happened with the brioche lobster salad roll. Great for drinks!
