Jeff W.'s Profile

So my girlfriend and I went here the other day for dinner. I know now, but at the time I wasn't sure why we were the only people in the restaurant on a Thursday night at 7.

We ordered two skewers of pork and chicken, flautas, and some guacamole. The guacamole arrived first and was straight avocado. No lime, no salt, no tomato, no cilantro, nothing. Just avocado. We had them replace the first one, and the second arrived with what I can only describe as twenty jalapenos squeezed over it. It was friggin' hot, inedibly so.

We then received the skewers which were incredibly dry and under-seasoned. And to top it off, we received the flautas, which honestly looked like something out of the freezer section of the grocery store.

Our waitress was very pleasant and actually made a comment of "the food here is actually pretty bad" when we pointed out the guacamole issue.

If you are thinking of eating here, don't. Go to Chen's down the street. They have great Chinese food and really good drinks, or try Twist. They also have pretty good food.

Don't go here.

So my girlfriend and I went back for our anniversary this weekend. Again, it was incredible. Carl, you have one of the best restaurants in the city. We can't wait to move to this neighborhood so we can come by more often. Thank you so much for making our anniversary a memorable one. Hope you enjoyed the champagne.

We had the yakuza beef (my favorite), black pepper and mint lamb chops (another of my favorites), goat cheese tarts, vegetable ravioli, and lightly fried tilapia with chorizo. The black peper and mint lamp chops were divine. The truffle added to the potatoes makes everything melt in your mouth. And I learned a new batter recipe from the chef - equal parts beer and flour. It was the lightest fried fish I think I've ever had.

All in all, I think you are a moron if you believe any of the reviews that say that this place is anything less than five stars.

Go Team Rad!

My girlfriend and I went here a year ago when we first started dating. We were staying in another part of the city, but heard that Old San Juan had a lot to offer. Walking around downtown, we came across this place and walked in. I think we went in on a Thursday night, so it was really slow, so we just sat at the bar and the bartenders made us some fantastic drinks. They talked with us and gave us a bunch of drink recommendations, along with free drinks. We'd already had dinner, but they recommended we come back Friday night for dinner.

Arriving the next night for dinner was an equally amazing experience. We had tuna carpaccio, duck breast, a beef dish I can't remember right now. Everything was simply amazing and the decor was fantastic. Low light ambiance and chandeliers throughout. It's very romantic as well as delicious. If you're visiting Puerto Rico, you should definitely check this one out.

My girlfriend and I went here on a Friday night and thought it was really cute. We got there around 7, walked in with no wait, and were immediately seated in a booth. The booths have microsuede and there was a stained glass window above our booth. It was really cute.

When asked what we wanted to drink, I asked if they had mojitos. I was informed they didn't. No big deal. What beers do you have on tap? We don't have any. Ok...so what do you have? Well, we have martini's. Ok, what would you suggest. Try the key lime.

So I did. It was actually really good. Then we ordered dinner. We both got specials - she ordered talapia cooked in a banana leaf and I ordered a seared steak over spinach and fingerling potatoes.

The steak was absolutely perfectly cooked. The tilapia was raw. So they brought her another, but it definitely took the whole meal experience down a few pegs.

Overall, I thought it was an "ok" dinner aside from everything else. Then we got the bill. $100 with tip. $100? Seriously? We had two martinis and dinner. The entrees we ordered were each $23 and $25 a piece, and for the ingredients and portions, it definitely wasn't worth that price.

So the bottom line is - go in knowing what to expect and you will enjoy this place. Otherwise, there are other options in the area with a wider selection of drink options and cheaper entree offerings.

I really like the decor. I really like the Hot Chocotella (a mix of hot chocolate and Nutella). I really like the staff.

My only grievance is that I just didn't feel cool enough to hang out in here very long. I wasn't wearing my black turtle neck and Karl Lagerfeld art school glasses. Overall, it's a great place to run in and get a coffee, but unless you fit the uber designer mold, have a MacBook Air and you're reading an issue of Dwell, I might try somewhere a little more relaxed (perhaps Kopi Cafe down the street).

Everything is amazing and the portions are HUGE.

This place is fantastic. Really cute and cozy. The fries are fantastic, but the sauces really seal the deal.

This place was great. My sister and I ordered the Chao Tom appetizer and both style of wraps. Everything was fantastic!

These guys are awesome! Really friendly and they have a special right now where you order one pizza and get another one free. How awesome is that?

If you enjoy cold food, poor service, well drink orange and cranberry juice and inaccurate menu items delivered to your table, this is the place for you!

We went here for breakfast on a Saturday morning and waited about 30 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. Then we waited about 40 minutes for our cold food to be brought out, which was both undercooked and just thrown on a plate.

DO NOT EAT HERE! You are better off at Golden Angel down the street, and that is saying a lot.
