Made a reservation to see what this restaurant was about. Parking is a 3-4 minute walk if you can't find a spot on the street.
The bar looked well stocked, and able to prepare any cocktail you would want. The food was high quality, but also lacking in quantity. I ordered the crispy pork belly with fried rice in a coconut curry. The pork belly was as good as any you would find in a Cantonese restaurant. However, I was expecting a little more for. $30 dish. In the picture, you can't see the rice as it was hidden under the shallow pond of curry. The curry had good taste with the right amount of spice and peanuts
Still needing more, I ordered the fried chicken. This plate was more substantial, and finally filled my stomach. Overall, if you're looking to taste finer cuisine in San Juan, this place is it. Just be prepared to spend more to be satisfied.
For the cost and accolades this restaurant received, I had higher expectations. Nothing was bad but nothing was amazing either.
We ordered grilled cabbage, eggplant empanadas, fried chicken, catch of the day with mofongo, and pork stew. My favorite was the mofongo, as the garlic sauce was done very well, but the fish was a bit overcooked (better than being undercooked though). For dessert, we ordered the popcorn de sundae and tres leches. Again, both were fine.
The staff, however, were super friendly and accommodating. They prepared a birthday plate on short notice.
An excellent wine list, sophisticated atmosphere, excellent food, and top-notch service. I wish I had a place this good near home: an awesome vacation weekend dinner. The bread was delicious and forgot to take a picture of the pigs head dish that was unexpected and especially tasty. I'd make it a point to get here anytime I am traveling to San Juan.
Not to miss!! This was the best meal we had during our entire stay in San Juan. The atmosphere is simple - don’t be fooled by that because the food is top notch. Made me recall some of the places I dined at San Sebastián Spain. Go hungry and thirsty… worth every bite and every penny!
We opted for high top seating by the window. The bar seating also looked great and people seated there were enjoying it.
Thomas did an amazing job helping us navigate the menu and the portions so we could try variety of things. We kept raving about the Crudo for days - it was that good! Then the unassuming cabbage arrived and sent us to heaven in a speed train! The goodies kept on delighting the palate. Desert cocktail, the clarified espresso martini was amazing and complemented the pistachio tres-leches so well. Chef also stopped by to check on how our meal was going.
So if you want to have one great special meal while in San Juan - this one is it, enjoy!
