    Our check-in process was seamless and efficient, and we were even accommodated earlier than the expected arrival time. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a saxophonist, creating a beautiful ambiance with live music. The waitress was incredibly friendly and exceeded our expectations in service. There was a mix-up with the parking, as our server initially requested our parking tickets for a free hour, only to discover it was valet parking, where this policy doesn’t apply. This wasn’t the server’s fault and didn’t affect our experience, but if you’re looking for cheaper parking, it’s best to opt for regular parking rather than valet. As for the food: the chicken crust was a bit too salty for my taste, but the manposteao rice was absolutely delicious. The steak lacked flavor and was difficult to cut and eat. On the other hand, the tostones (fried plantains) were crispy and delightful. The atmosphere was great until the live performance started; at that point, the music became quite loud, making conversation difficult. While I understand live performances are part of the experience, the volume was overwhelming for a restaurant setting, and we had to raise our voices to be heard. The bill was accurate, and overall, the experience was positive. I would definitely recommend this place, and we plan to return to try different dishes. Areas for improvement: Noise control could enhance the overall dining experience, and refining the consistency and flavor of the dishes would elevate the quality.

    Words cannot adequately describe just how wonderful our experience was. Everything was top notch from start to finish. They even thoughtfully warmed the milk for my coffee without me asking. This is a must visit when in Puerto Rico.

    We had a wonderful time trying new foods and ways to prepare them. We especially enjoyed the Parmesan crusted pork, the garlic filet and the bite sized cheese bread. Our server was attentive and explained everything to us and gave recommendations on what to try. So glad we went!
