Its a fine dining restaurant so the restaurant is really upscale but they also made the restaurant a bit cozy at the same time. The service was amazing as well. Im sorry I forgot his name but he paid really good attention and constantly checked on us especially for my allergies. The food was some of the most delicious food ive ever tasted, especially the risotto (10/10). There was one dish that my girlfriend didnt like but they went immediately to get her something new. Im only giving a 4 star because the dessert i had did have something I was allergic to despite reassurance which cause swollen lips and throwing up outside. Im not sure if the dessert was pre-made but having the allergens directly on the menu may help. Otherwise I completely recommend trying here.

Inside there is a cool Paris bistrot vibe that transports you there. We came as walk-ins and they sat us right away. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Great selection of French wines. We had a bottle of white Burgundy Chardonnay that paired perfectly with all our dishes. For appetizers we had the escargots, the tartare and the onion soup. All of them delicious, but my favorite was the onion soup. Tasty and not salty. As entree my husband had the Merou (grouper fillet) with balsamic reduction and grilled vegetables, very good. I was between the Flank steak or the entrecôte and the server pointed me in the right direction when he suggested the filet mignon with cracked pepper and cream sauce with gratin scallop potatoes. I don't exaggerate when I say that it's one of the best cuts of meat I've ever eaten in my life. Perfectly cooked, tender, juicy flavorful. They had several dessert options but since the previous suggestion was a hit I asked his advice one more time. He said the strawberry tart without hesitation. Another success. Overall 5 stars everything!

The place is very intimate, with space for probably 6 couples. Reservations are recommended. Their wine list is spectacular for a small restaurant in San Juan, with lots of eclectic choices.

You have to try her soups... out of this world! We had a sweet corn chowder that was a wonderful exploration of the freshest vegetables in San Juan. Her french tapas have the Spanish and Puertorrican influence of chorizo, and she serves The Best croquetas and pastelillos (turnovers), absolutely tasty and very local. Her restaurant is clean and spacious, for now as she is a very well-kept secret. She is trained in NY, and her stature shows in her dishes and she is as sweet as her desserts, of which you have to try her rendition of apple pie (instead of apple she uses mango) and her guava crumble, mmmmm. She has a small list of wines that are priced cheaper than if you had bought them yourselves, yet really excellent wine taste, both whites and reds. Although in Guaynabo, this place is only a 15 min Uber from all hotels in Condado and the ride is true Puerto Rico. Well worth it, and a wonderful experience! Amazing!!
