    This was a pleasant surprise! The outside of the building and location is quite misleading, but once you enter the reception area and go up the elevator, you will find a quaint, elegant dining area where your food is prepared almost right in front of you. Your server is a quiet, unassuming kind of guy, but I assure you there's more to him than meets the eye! He was very accommodating and welcoming. The food was stupendous! The wine wasn't bad either! 😃 We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary and I couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate. There's a ferris wheel two minutes from the restaurant where my wife and I took a couple of spins as well! I hope you enjoy the experience as much as we did!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Upscale and modern ambience. Outstanding steaks; we had a ribeye and a NY strip with rice and mash as sides. The children’s churrasco was also fantastic and a very generous portion. We had a chocolate cake for dessert that was both rich and light. Highly recommended.

    We had an incredible dinner at Carnes last Friday! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. To start, my wife and I had Negronis, followed by an Old Fashioned for me and the house red wine for her—both excellent choices. For our appetizer, we had the Natalio (Argentinian Provoleta, fresh mango sauce, and Chorizo Bombón). The cheese and sauce were so good that we went rogue and started dipping our bread in it—absolutely delicious! For the main course, I had the ribeye (well-done), and my wife had the Costillas de Cordero (medium-well). Both were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. To finish, we had Rogel for dessert, which was the perfect sweet touch to an already fantastic meal. The restaurant had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, and our server, Diego, was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The only small downside was the lack of dedicated parking, but honestly, the food and experience made up for it. Overall, Carnes delivered an amazing dining experience, and we’d highly recommend it to any steak lover!

    This place was awesome, we went for a bachelor party and the service was fantastic. The porterhouse and the tomahawk steaks were delicious. Would recommend this place for a fun night out in San Juan!
