    We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to sit and experience the bar. The service and attentiveness of Israel and Hector was top notch. Their craft cocktails were truly works of art and were AMAZING! Nothing like I have ever had anywhere before. The small plates of fish and chips (aka yucca fries) were phenomenal along with the octopus which was so tender, not to mention the star of the show, the seabass. No evening would be complete without a little sweet and the goat cheese flan was legendary. One of our favorite places to go when in San Juan. If you are looking for upscale Puerto Rican dishes or just an upscale dining experience- look no further.

    Food was outstanding! Had the escargot and Camerones with trifongo. Dessert was cocodo hot coconut with almonds and ice cream. Everything was first class. Sat at the bar and watching the very professional bartenders mix drinks added to the evening’s enjoyment. Right in the Placido de Santurce so can enjoy a stroll through the lively area after dinner.

    Wow the rooftop setting is breathtaking, what a unique experience watching the full moon rise as we enjoyed our meal. Juan our waiter was attentive and friendly so we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Both the seafood fettuccine and salmon entrees were delicious. And again the rooftop is not to be missed for incredible views of Puerto Rico and the night sky!
