Restaurants near The Capitol of Puerto Rico

Great service; food was delicious - so was the lava cake. Wish they said thank you, or at least good night when we left. It felt a little awkward to leave, because we passed more than three waiters/manager-looking person on the way out literally in eye contact or moving to side to avoid us. Figuring that we spent $100 per person (including a child) with 20% tip, you know that is a little cold.

Whenever I visit the island, a stop at Marmalade and El San Juan is an absolute must. These iconic restaurants truly set the standard for high-end dining, offering an unforgettable culinary experience every single time. The quality of the dishes is nothing short of spectacular. Each plate is a work of art, brimming with bold, eclectic flavors that reflect creativity and precision. The wine pairings are just as stunning, perfectly curated to enhance every bite and elevate the entire meal. What makes the experience even more special is the staff. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like an old friend. The team is not only warm and gracious but incredibly knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each dish and recommend pairings that make your experience truly unique. Dining at Marmalade or El San Juan isn’t just a meal; it’s a celebration of flavors, hospitality, and world-class service. I can’t recommend these spots enough for anyone visiting the island!

Excellent food and service. Great mocktail options!

After reading mixed reviews, my husband and I tried Carnes on a Sunday evening. We are so glad we did. The food was out of this world, and the server was very attentive. Would highly recommend!

Great food. Saw this place on YouTube. Portions are large. Very tasteful food. Service was good. 15 minutes walk to the fort and other historic sites.
