    I ordered the fish special and I could not eat half of it. It was tough. A knife couldn’t cut through it. The waitress was very apologetic and offered a salad. At that point, I lost my appetite. Apparently they had some problems with this special. They did take it off their special for the evening. Very disappointed!!

    A hidden gem on Condado. The rabbit albodigas were so good! We had to come back and order them as an entree with their bread. Will be back!

    We loved the minimalist decor, matched by beautifully presented gustatory delights. From the chips and bread with kalamata butter to the outstanding (best I have ever tasted) tuna tartare, to the briliiantly prepared chicken and yellowtail snapper with oxtail to the mango mousse, all was superb. The service was impeccable with a kind and engaging staff. Bravo, Mario Pagan!

    I’ve been dining here for years and the quality is always impeccable. The signature sea bass is crisp and flaky…so good! Chocolate soufflé with hazelnut sauce, salt and vanilla ice cream is a must. Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.
