Great view and great food! You can enjoy looking out at the Atlantic and the city skyline heading to San Juan. The service is top notch at the bar and in the restaurant. Unique craft cocktails and Japanese-Latin infusion food. We had a chance to have a 3 year anniversary of kumo 4 course meal on a Saturday night and it was awesome. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our dinner and our servers (Francis and Manuel) were delightful. We both ordered a filet, with truffle butter -done perfectly (medium for us) a baked potato and the brussel sprouts( don’t miss out on these!) Wine with dinner and a raspberry sorbet to finish our meal. Delicious …. The ambience in the restaurant is very nice without being overly pretentious! We would recommend the Meat Market and it’s great that it is on the hotel premises!
