    My wife and I dined here based upon reviews read online and y’all were correct. The food, the ambiance, and service were top-tier. If you’re going to San Juan, I would say this is a must stop. When we left, the surrounding establishments were lively with club music, which you couldn’t hear while dining at all. Great spot, great area, great recommendation!
