UP Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Vega Baja

Second time here. First time wasn't a good experience because food was cold. We decided to give it another shot and boy am I happy we did. Let's get to it. We wanted to sit outside but the mosquitoes are fierce, before we ordered drinks our waitress had been bitten and I was fighting them off. This can be solved probably by getting some plants that repel them around the terrace and some of those citronella torches. Anyway back to the review. We ended up going inside.

We had to ask the bartender for our check. On our way to the exit we saw her leaning on the wall, deep in conversation with another employee. There goes...

First of all, the service was excellent, very attentive with our group and pretty fast too. The lunch menu was good and the meats were perfectly cooked, while the oven roasted potatoes were crisp and fairly seasoned. The chili was excellent with a nice portion of meat. But the desserts were out of this world. I have to say the Nutella creme brule was excellent and creamy, add the Nutella and you have a marriage to remember. The fried cheesecake was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, deliciously combined with a creamy ice cream. Really...
