The mojitos were spot on, not too sweet, and the courtyard is the real deal. Cool breeze, nice old architecture, just a chill spot to sit after walking around Old San Juan all day. We stayed for two rounds, honestly could&#39;ve stayed longer. Only thing is it got a bit busy later, but that&#39;s on us for not wanting to leave.

The ribeye skewers were solid, cooked right with good char. Lobster was decent too. Hookah hit well. Place gets the job done for a chill afternoon in Old San Juan.

The mofongo with pork was solid &mdash; good texture, not too greasy. Grilled cheese chicken had decent flavor too. Portions are generous, I couldn&rsquo;t finish mine. Service was friendly, didn&rsquo;t have to wait long for anything. Place gets busy around dinner time but it&rsquo;s worth it.

The mahi mahi with saffron sauce was really fresh, nice portion too. Sitting right on the beach felt like being on a boat deck. Waves were a bit loud but honestly added to the vibe. 🌊

Happy hour&rsquo;s been solid every time I&rsquo;ve gone&mdash;drinks are strong, food holds up. Parking&rsquo;s extra which is annoying, but worth it if you&rsquo;re staying for a few rounds.

I highly recommend trying the Mediterranean Branzino; it was excellent! The combination of great food and a lovely ambiance makes this restaurant a top choice for dining.

This place is a must-visit in San Juan! The variety of oysters is impressive, and the quality of service is exceptional. The atmosphere feels like you&#39;re on a pirate ship, which makes for a memorable dining experience.

The lemon ricotta pancakes were gone by 10am&mdash;kinda bummed about that. St. Germain breakfast was just okay for the price. Nice spot though.

Came for the food, stayed for the service. Christina knew the menu inside out and her picks were spot on. Lamb was the standout, fried rice worth ordering too. Place got busy but she kept things moving. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.

Came for a quick bite and the curry chicken hit the spot. Hummus was solid too. Service was crazy fast, food came out before we even settled in. Portions fair for the price.

Came for dinner on a weeknight. The live bossa nova was a nice touch, not too loud. Lobster ravioli was solid, tuna tartare fresh. Mary handled the service well, quick and no fuss. Owner was around checking things, always a good sign. Place is easy to get to. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area.

The cochinita pibil was legit. Red salsa had a nice kick too. Forgot to snap a pic cause I was too busy eating. Leftovers still hit hard the next morning.

Stopped here during a cruise day. Got the skirt steak mofongo and a pi&ntilde;a colada. Pretty good, honestly. The mofongo was solid, steak cooked fine. Nice little Turkish touch on the menu, which was different. Staff were friendly enough. Place was a bit warm inside, but not a big deal. Decent stop if you&#39;re in the area.

Been coming here for a while now. Breakfast is still solid&mdash;big portions, food&#39;s tasty, and the seasoned potatoes with chicken are my usual order. Service was on point today too. Place gets busy but they keep it moving. Only thing is it can get a little loud, but that&#39;s not gonna stop me from coming back.

The chicken sandwich here seriously reminded me of a Zinger from back home. Crispy, juicy, and the bun was soft. Portion was solid too. Good little find while walking around Old San Juan.

The Christmas plate was solid for sharing, and that garlic shrimp sauce had us sopping up every drop. Sat on the balcony watching the street below. Pi&ntilde;a colada beat the famous spots nearby, honestly.

The coconut watermelon margarita was really good, fresh tasting. I had the pork belly tacos too and honestly the meat was cooked just right, not dry at all. Service was fine, friendly enough. Place was a bit loud for my taste but I&#39;d go back for that margarita. Maybe next time I&#39;ll ask for less sugar in it though.

The soursop daiquiri was a solid pick to start&mdash;sweet but not too heavy. We walked in without a reservation and waited maybe 10-15 minutes, which honestly felt fair for how busy it was. The traditional dishes were really good, especially the mofongo. Nothing fancy, just solid food and a chill vibe. I&#39;d come back for that drink alone.

Service was solid, even after a rough start with our first server. Alexander really stepped up and took care of us. Food was tasty, that view is hard to beat. Pricey, but you&#39;re paying for the whole package.

The vegan mofongo was really good&mdash;lots of flavor, and the texture was on point. We also grabbed some pancakes on the side, which were a nice touch. Staff was friendly, made us feel comfortable the whole time. Place has a chill vibe. If you&#39;re in the area, it&#39;s worth stopping by.

Came here twice on our last trip, green curry still hits the same every time. Drunken noodles were solid too. Place gets busy but worth it.

The chocolate mousse was the highlight for me&mdash;rich without being too heavy. I sat near the window and the lighting was just right, not too dim to read the menu. Service was friendly enough, though we did wait a bit for the check. Comfortable spot overall, I&#39;d come back for dessert alone.

Came for the Mexican lasagna, that thing is legit. Big portion, I ate half and took the rest home. Drinks were solid too. Service was quick at first, then kinda slowed down once it got packed. Still, good spot. Kinda wish I knew about it before.

The honey salmon and parmesan risotto were solid, though I&rsquo;d skip the ceviche next time. A crisp white wine would pair nicely with that fish.

Grouper with garlic caper sauce was solid. Veal parm decent too. Service was quick, no complaints. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area.Grouper with garlic caper sauce was the highlight. Waiter kept it efficient. Fine for a business lunch, nothing fancy.

Big portions on the chilaquiles and nachos, no joke. Fresh made, so you wait a bit. Staff was cool about it. Good spot if you&#39;re skipping meat.

Came here late after landing in San Juan. Seafood salad was fresh, and the skirt steak had this flavor I don&#39;t usually get back on the mainland. Parking was a pain though, had to circle a bit. Still, worth it for the food.

We showed up with a big group, no reservation, and they didn&rsquo;t even blink. Pizzas were solid, pasta was good, but the chicken marsala? That was the one. Place got a little loud but it didn&rsquo;t bother me much. Would come back for that dish alone.

The margarita flight was a solid pick&mdash;three different ones, all pretty strong. Fun way to taste a few flavors without committing to one big glass.
