Simposio always delivers! This time we tried one of the weekly specials: fish filet in "gandules" sauce and "guineito". Delicious. The cheese balls with local jam were a good way to start—great wines and cocktails in a casual ambiance.

High end but easy to get a rez on a Sat night. Seems like a lot of locals go here. Co-owner greeted us and explained his restaurant and was fabulous. Only negatives were that they were out of some things which is expected on an island and air conditioning was a little high. Excellent experience and definitely a hidden gem!!!

We wanted to try this new place and opted to go for a dinner date. The space is pretty casual and spacious. The drinks were well balanced and promptly served. We decided to try three of the appetizers. The blood sausage in phyllo pastry was a bit dry yet flavorful. We also had the lobster arancini and was really pleasurable. The pastel was delicious. All of them were nicely served and the portions are good-sized. As main course we shared lamb chops perfectly cooked yet the risotto lacked flavor. We enjoyed a nice Ribera del Duero wine that paired divine with the flavors of our different dishes. Service was excellent. A nice little gem in Santurce. Highly recommended.

Definitely one of the top culinary offers in this developing neighborhood between Santurce and Miramar. The Fish was absolutely delicious, the Porkbelly, Pastas, Octopus were top choices! Best appetizers were the Sliders, Serrano Ham Coquettes and the Lobster Arancini. The Pan de Elote dessert is one of the best desserts I’ve ever tasted in my life. A must stop place in Santurce!
