    The service: excellent. Our waitress was kind, helpful, knowledgeable. When she described the specials, you could almost taste them.

    A hidden gem on Condado. The rabbit albodigas were so good! We had to come back and order them as an entree with their bread. Will be back!

    We loved the minimalist decor, matched by beautifully presented gustatory delights. From the chips and bread with kalamata butter to the outstanding (best I have ever tasted) tuna tartare, to the briliiantly prepared chicken and yellowtail snapper with oxtail to the mango mousse, all was superb. The service was impeccable with a kind and engaging staff. Bravo, Mario Pagan!

    I’ve been dining here for years and the quality is always impeccable. The signature sea bass is crisp and flaky…so good! Chocolate soufflé with hazelnut sauce, salt and vanilla ice cream is a must. Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

    Was by far the best meal we had in Puerto Rico (a guide we had on an excursion recommended it). The lamb shoulder was one of the best dishes of lamb I have had. Did the fish and chips as an appetizer and also did not disappoint.
