    We were very excited to try this restaurant after it was recommended to us. We mad our reservation on Open Table. When we got there, the hostess told us that she saw our reservation but she had a large party to seat that also had a reservation for the same time slot. She asked us to go to the bar to wait. We had already spent time in the bar. We ended up leaving.

    It could be better for the price. I've had better experiences in Puerto Rico for half the money. The food was okay, but the experience felt like a pantry cleaning day even though it was Valentine's Day and I had reserved my table one week in advance. Cocktails took a very long time to be served. On the other hand, the pistachio tart dessert was superb. I would not go to this place again for the food, but if I did, it would be for the environment and maybe a few drinks. Even though the service was good, I did not appreciate the waiter setting a set rate for the tip before I decided what it would be. I was in the motivation to give a better tip but that threw me off. I guess it wasn't his fault, maybe it was the restaurant's manager or something because of how young I and my partner looked...

    Valentines dinner with a fixed price dinner that was definitely not worth the $89 per person price. The only 2 choices for the first course were raw tuna or raw beef. As we don’t eat uncooked food we asked for a substitute and were told by the waiter it was absolutely impossible to do that. We ordered steaks for the second course which were tough and grizzled…..with practically uncooked bacon wrapped around!! They were tasteless and crunchy in places! They were the worst!! I asked the waiter to check with the kitchen if the mashed potatoes contained any dairy products as I can’t eat them. He never came back to our table to answer my question so I didn’t eat them! VERY disappointed!!

    Worst meal we’ve had while in San Juan! Beef tenderloin wasn’t beef tenderloin; it was tough and full of grizzle! Paid $269 plus the cost of an Uber to end up hungry.

    The atmosphere and food were really really good. But the long wait times were compounded by an apparent lack of sufficient, staff just walking past you and not even acknowledging you, and staff that seemed to be clueless. However, once the bartender started to assist us, things went well. The space is very calming so the waiting was not as unpleasant as it could have been.

    The skirt steak was terrible, but the fish tacos were outstanding. Also, the service was slow, but the ambience was excellent.

    The best part of our experience was at the Bar. The bartender was great putting on a nice little show making us two El Conventos and they were delicious. The food choices had changed from a few years ago. I had the stuffed mofongo with 5 shrimp in a strange tasting sauce with red pepper and onion. I didn't finish. My wife has the lobster risotto which was way too salty. I make risotto all the time and you just don't need to be so heavy handed on the salt. A nice lobster tail but it was in the shell so my wife had to get another dish to put it on to get the meat out.
