First visit to this restaurant. Great culinary experience. The staff was friendly and professional. They took the time to answer all our questions. The food was delicious and the portions were adequate. The "Cortadito" (espresso with a little bit of milk) was delicious. I am definitely returning again and willingness recommend this restaurant to family and friends.
Update 4 July 2021 This was my third visit to this restaurant in less than 4 months. I enjoyed my previous visits. Something I noticed in my previous visits, is that their costumer service is not the fastest. As yesterday, restaurant establishments in Puerto Rico, were not working at their FULL capacity. Unfortunately, this time my experience was not a good one. First: I ordered a drink with lemons; the lemons were completely dry. Not a single drop of juice when squizzed. After the waitress brought the drink to my table, it took 16 minutes until she came back to get my order.

Read moreThis place is a hidden gem! Absolutely everything was perfect… the atmosphere, ambience, attention to detail, spectacular service, incredible cuisine, and the kindest owners, staff, and patrons.
We started with some seriously fabulous cocktails, then devoured the tuna tartare with homemade yummy crisps of some root veggie creation, possibly the best we’ve ever had. Then I indulged in their take of a lasagna, their lobster piñon. It had sweet plantain layers with lobster, cheeses, and some kind of magic…it was so so good! My husband got the fresh caught local red snapper, with an incredible cilantro sauce and a side of perfect risotto… The only downside is, we had no room for dessert. Good thing though, we are making reservations to have our last supper here in Peurto Rico.
Five stars are not enough!
