   We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to sit and experience the bar. The service and attentiveness of Israel and Hector was top notch. Their craft cocktails were truly works of art and were AMAZING! Nothing like I have ever had anywhere before. The small plates of fish and chips (aka yucca fries) were phenomenal along with the octopus which was so tender, not to mention the star of the show, the seabass. No evening would be complete without a little sweet and the goat cheese flan was legendary. One of our favorite places to go when in San Juan. If you are looking for upscale Puerto Rican dishes or just an upscale dining experience- look no further.

   The whole experience was great, from reservations/confirmation to the meal itself. We had the Chilean sea bass (superb), and the specials (appetizer and dessert). Valet was available too.

   We loved our experience! Our favorite bites were the crab appetizer, the pumpkin and the Sea Bass. If we lived here, we would come back all the time! Excellent service!❤️

   I really wanted to love this dining experience. The service was outstanding but we found the food lacking in flavor. Everything we ordered seemed bland. I ordered their signature dish, the sea bass, and it smelled and tasted very fishy. Every good sea bass I've ever eaten has a mild buttery taste. My husband had the filet mignon and while it was cooked perfectly (medium rare) there was no seasoning or flavor to it. For the pricepoint, I don't think we will return.

    We heard good things about this restaurant before we went. The restaurant is nice and very clean and the service was great. The food was not amazing. The filet was alright but the rice with chicken was so salty it wasn’t edible 😭.
