Today’s experience was off the charts. Pancho, Joshua and Quatro were outstanding hosts and cooks throughout the whole experience. The food was delicious and spectacular. The drinks we had were splendid. The service went above and beyond as well, our server Melek (if I’m not mistaken) was energetic and very nice. Overall 10/10 would come back for the food and the hospitality that was shown throughout the whole meal.

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 had a wonderful dinner for our third night dining here. Jose was our waiter and he is the best. He helped guide us in making our selections and they were so good. We both had the chicken. The sauce was to die for.
