   It is evident why Cocina al Fondo and its chef received the James Beard Best Chef (South) award in 2023. This was a jewel of a restaurant built inside a renovated house with the kitchen in an adjacent shed, an indoor dining room with an accompanying garden for outdoor seating, and a knowledgeable and attentive staff. The food - Puerto Rican soul food taken up a notch with soothing and occasionally surprising flavors, well executed and balanced. Only open Thursdays through Saturdays. Well worth a visit.

    Todo el staff muy atento, es la segunda ocasión que visito el restaurante y no decepciona. Tanto los cocteles como la comida están a un nivel de altura. Es cocina puertorriqueña llevada al mas alto nivel y lo mejor de todo es que incluyen productos de cosechas locales. Un agradecimiento a Vivi que hizo de la noche una muy especial.
