Bistro Café

I understand why this restaurant is so highly rated! We came as a group of 4 without a reservation on a Sunday and it was packed! Fortunately, we did not have to wait very long and the host was able to accommodate us. Please please try the guava cream cheese French toast! It was the best French I’ve ever had! Well balanced, dense in flavor but light and sweet in taste. I also had the mimosa with tequila and watermelon juice and I only needed one! The service was amazing and the food came out relatively quickly as well! I would recommend making a reservation especially if you are coming on a weekend! But this was a great spot for drinks and food!

I had the Dubai pancakes with whipped cream, and they were absolutely delicious! Our server was very knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations. She had purplish streaks in her hair and bangs; I didn’t get her name but she provided excellent service.

We visited twice during our week's stay in Puerto Rico. Each time, our wait for a table (for a party of 2) was less than 10 minutes. The food was absolutely amazing each time, and so were the beverages. Service was good. We really enjoyed our server during our second visit. She was more attentive to our needs and personable. Whereas the server during the first visit seemed really rushed and short in communication. Our food was brought in a reasonable time considering how busy it appeared each visit. Food portions were large, and we found ourselves having leftovers each time. Parking was challenging to find each visit, but if you ride around in a circle long enough, eventually, a parking spot will become available.

I came to this restaurant with my Spanish-speaking friend recommendation to try it out. The line was long, and we waited about 45 minutes to be seated. Once seated, service was very disappointing. Nobody came to take our order right away. It took 20–30 minutes just for our drinks to arrive — and even then, the table behind us had already finished their meal before we got our drinks. We waited another 30 minutes for the food to come, only after my friend went to ask about it. In total, it took about an hour from when we sat down until the food arrived. It felt like our table was ignored. Since we were the only Asians there and didn’t speak Spanish, we couldn’t help but wonder if that’s why no one paid attention to us. Other tables seemed to get service much faster. We ordered a lot of food for three people, but the lack of respect and attention was shocking. The food itself was just okay. We’ve been to many restaurants in Puerto Rico where the service was always warm and welcoming — this was the only place that treated us otherwise. This was our first time here, and it will definitely be our last. If you’re Asian like me, I hope you read this review before deciding to come.

Highly recommend having a reservation! This place was jumping jumping! Thankfully we got there a few minutes after they opened and were able to be seated at the bar once a few others left. There was about a 25 to 30 minute. Wait if we wanted a table but since we did not have that much time because we were headed to the airport, the hostess allowed us to sit at the bar once the two people that were there left because they only had one person serving the bar area, which made sense so that they did not sit too many people there! It was a great place! The staff was very friendly! The food was phenomenal. You get a lot of food so don’t order too much lol needless to say I could not finish what I ordered. The waitress was awesome. She explained everything to us and recommended a few things that we ended up getting. This is definitely the spot to go to, and they even offered taking pictures of you after you’re eating, which was pretty cool.
