The chef-owner stopped by our table for a quick chat &mdash; nice touch. Tapas were solid, though I wish they&#39;d offered a better wine pairing for the grilled meats. A decent Rioja would&#39;ve tied it together nicely.

Food was solid - nachos and refried beans hit the spot. Service lagged a bit on Saturday, but that&#39;s expected when it&#39;s packed. Outdoor seating works if you don&#39;t mind street noise. Fair prices for the area.

The salmon ahumado pizza on that toasted thin crust was the surprise of the night. Really liked the smoky flavor. My group also did the lasagna and skirt steak, both went over well. Place got a bit loud by the end, but the food held up. I&rsquo;d go back for that pizza alone.

The hostess squeezed us in for Mother&rsquo;s Day without a hitch. Appetizer portions are massive&mdash;one order fed all four of us. Service was solid, food hit the spot.

This restaurant is definitely one of the top places in Puerto Rico. The quality of the food and the attentive service make it a standout choice for anyone visiting the area.

Veggie omelette came out a bit dry, but they fixed it fast. Avocado toast was solid. Quick service, decent spot for a bite.

The mofongo with pork was solid &mdash; good texture, not too greasy. Grilled cheese chicken had decent flavor too. Portions are generous, I couldn&rsquo;t finish mine. Service was friendly, didn&rsquo;t have to wait long for anything. Place gets busy around dinner time but it&rsquo;s worth it.

The mahi mahi with saffron sauce was really fresh, nice portion too. Sitting right on the beach felt like being on a boat deck. Waves were a bit loud but honestly added to the vibe. 🌊

Stopped by for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than planned. The passion fruit mojito was spot on, not too sweet. Ceviche was fresh, really zesty. Natalia took care of us the whole time, super attentive without hovering. Place got a bit loud later in the evening, but that&rsquo;s on us for staying. Solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area.

Parking&rsquo;s a bit of a pain on weekends, honestly. We just ended up using a rideshare and it saved us the headache. The seating was comfortable enough that I didn&rsquo;t feel rushed, which I appreciated. Food was decent, nothing crazy, but I&rsquo;d come back if I&rsquo;m in the area and don&rsquo;t have to drive.

The ribeye skewers were solid, cooked right with good char. Lobster was decent too. Hookah hit well. Place gets the job done for a chill afternoon in Old San Juan.

Happy hour&rsquo;s been solid every time I&rsquo;ve gone&mdash;drinks are strong, food holds up. Parking&rsquo;s extra which is annoying, but worth it if you&rsquo;re staying for a few rounds.

Steak was solid again, came here a few times this year already. The wedge salad with that homemade blue cheese is my go-to. Brussels sprouts were crispy too. Staff knew their wine pairings which was nice. Only thing is it can get a bit loud when it fills up. Still, good spot if you&#39;re hanging with friends.

The veal cheeks on yautia pur&eacute;e were rich and comforting, and the tuna lollipops were a fun start. Cocktails were solid. Seating felt a bit cramped though, but the vibe was chill.

The mojitos were spot on, not too sweet, and the courtyard is the real deal. Cool breeze, nice old architecture, just a chill spot to sit after walking around Old San Juan all day. We stayed for two rounds, honestly could&#39;ve stayed longer. Only thing is it got a bit busy later, but that&#39;s on us for not wanting to leave.

Stopped by for lunch after walking around the area. The spot inside the Vanderbilt is really nice, right by the water. Had the sweet potato taco and tortilla soup&mdash;both were pretty good. Service was friendly, no complaints there. It&rsquo;s a bit pricey for what you get, but the setting makes up for it. Fine if you&rsquo;re already nearby.

Beautiful spot right by the ocean, sunset was unreal. Drinks on the terrace were perfect. Just wish it wasn&#39;t so loud from the hotel next door.

The burger was pretty good &mdash; cooked right, decent bun, messy in the way you want. But $12 for a local beer felt steep. I get that the food quality is there, but the bill adds up fast. Fine for a treat, not a regular spot for me.

This place is a must-visit in San Juan! The variety of oysters is impressive, and the quality of service is exceptional. The atmosphere feels like you&#39;re on a pirate ship, which makes for a memorable dining experience.

The lemon ricotta pancakes were gone by 10am&mdash;kinda bummed about that. St. Germain breakfast was just okay for the price. Nice spot though.

The cochinita pibil was legit. Red salsa had a nice kick too. Forgot to snap a pic cause I was too busy eating. Leftovers still hit hard the next morning.

The coconut watermelon margarita was really good, fresh tasting. I had the pork belly tacos too and honestly the meat was cooked just right, not dry at all. Service was fine, friendly enough. Place was a bit loud for my taste but I&#39;d go back for that margarita. Maybe next time I&#39;ll ask for less sugar in it though.

Came here twice on our last trip, green curry still hits the same every time. Drunken noodles were solid too. Place gets busy but worth it.

The honey salmon and parmesan risotto were solid, though I&rsquo;d skip the ceviche next time. A crisp white wine would pair nicely with that fish.

Came for the view, ended up staying longer than I planned. The mango jalape&ntilde;o margarita was really good&mdash;fresh, not too sweet. Upstairs bar had that relaxed vibe, easy to just sit and sip. Staff were friendly too. Wish they had a few more healthy snack options, but the drink itself was worth it.

The chef&rsquo;s table pasta was the highlight &mdash; he made something just for me, paired well with my wine. Service was on point. Place got a bit loud later, but fine for a quick dinner.
