Paella - de Calamares en su tintq ( black ink Squid )

Likes - great service - the food is good - close to the skate park and beach Dislike - none

Seafood

Very good place to get away from all the tourists. The night we went they had live jazz and they were able to sit all 6 of us with no issues. The food was good and the service was good- just note that it takes a while to get your food. We were seated at 7 and did not get our food until 9!

I've eaten all over the world. This is one of my new top restaurant choices for customer service and flavor! They will likely take your temperature at the door along with some hand sanitizer. Love how they seated us immediately, served my table water and brought a bread basket with the most delicious mix of garlic-butter. Bread was warm and soft , Sangria was amazing, and the salmon...WOW! They checked back with our table throughout our meal, made sure our sangria glasses were never empty (until our pitcher ran out) , and really made us feel as if we were their most important clients in the restaurant. I hope to come Back soon!

Friendly staff. Food is terrible, way over priced, salty and does not taste good. Waited over 1.5hrs for the food to come out. We tried so many dishes and none of them tasted good.

Great food, FRESH!!! And good service as well :). Highly recommended if u looking for a good seafood restaurant. Oh yeah, the drinks here is amazing too, and the live music singer is great too!

Red snapper with cheese and tomato
Jen H.

Maybe Marisqueria Atlantica and I got off on the wrong foot when my friend and I walked in with flip flops, in t-shirts/shorts, and partly covered in sand. No one warned me older folks would be having business lunches. Nor that the waiters would be wearing formal nautical uniforms. Oops. All that aside. The first thing that was slightly off putting was the cold and aloof air of our waiter- all I got were vibes of judgment and disdain (was it really that crazy that we were coming from the beach 100 yards away?). Totally unusual for Puerto Rico where people are so warm. The food (mostly seafood) was decent- but nothing to write home about. My friend's swordfish was a bit bland- if it weren't for the stir fried wild mushrooms that accompanied it, the dish would have been very bland. My red snapper with cheese and tomato (a combo I haven't had on fish before) was pretty good and probably the better of the two dishes. But frankly, it's generally pretty hard to mess up a dish that includes cheese and tomatoes. That ish makes almost anything good. The back dining room has a nice garden view- this I appreciated. Other than that, the restaurant seems to think it's much more high brow than it actually is. Lots of more down to earth spots with better (and cheaper!) food in the area.

This is amazing place food, wine and desserts to die for. The service is fantastic and the ambience very special. They also have little fish and food market inside!

Marisqueria Atlantica

How Google Maps Almost Killed Me Sitting in our hotel room at Intercontinental we decided on seafood, and according to yelp and google maps this restaurant was a 7 minute walk away. With baby stroller in tow we leave the hotel. 25 minutes later, through some questionable neighborhoods and past a graveyard we still haven't arrived. My travel mates are hungry and not entertained. I stare at my phone wondering how technology could lead me wrong. If this meal is less than stellar I'm probably going to be found dead on a San Juan beach. How Marisqueria Atlantica Saved Me. The fact that I'm writing this and my travel mates are still friends with me is testament to how good Atlantica is. The only weakness is language. It's best to speak Spanish to the waiters. Somehow a glass of red wine and half bottle of white became a bottle of white. We gave up and drank it. They specialize in seafood and do a wonderful job. The grilled octopus, while not as good as I've had in Spain , had a nice garlic seasoning and not rubbery. I greatly enjoyed the paella. The rice was drier and less sticky than traditional Valencia paella and contained lobster in addition to other seafood. Not traditional but a definite winner. Other well received dishes at our table were the red snapper with manchengo cheese and shrimp tostones The best part ? The bill. 3 apps, 3 entrees and bottle of wine = $117 before tip and after tax. Fantastic, affordable food and saving me from wrath of my comrades ? 5 star --- no question. -------------------------------- 1.Take a cab 2.Not vegetarian friendly (like most of Puerto Rico ) 3.Try the fantastic garlic butter they serve with bread.

Great seafood restaurant in Puerto Rico. The paella was fantastic and only cost $22. You get a healthy serving and it is topped with lobster. Many other restaurants charge much more than that and you don't get nearly as much seafood. I had a generous serving of scallops, which were also good. I think there 10-12 scallops on my plate along with sides. My mom ordered this fish (can't remember the name), but they de-boned it right at the table. She thought it tasted pretty good too.

Salad
Julie D.

This place is interesting. I mean, I must have been confused when I picked this restaurant. First off, it's a little hard to find. Siri couldn't do it. Then the parking lot. No place to park. But, the valet took our car off our hands. The people here are nice enough. And without a reservation, we got a table right away. Service seemed to be attentive and the interior of the restaurant was pleasant enough. As for me, I had a difficult time finding something that I wanted to order. So, I opted to start with a salad. It was huge. But could not identify some of the ingredients. But it did have tomatoes and hearts of palm. It was okay. BJ got one of the evening specials, it was a seafood dish which included fish, prawns, scallops, clams, mussels, squid and 1/2 of a lobster tail. It was okay, but the lobster was overcooked. For my meal, I got the Tostones & Shrimp with Manchego Cheese appetizer. I didn't really like it. The plantains were hard and the cheese was tough. I ended up removing it and didn't eat it. Maybe we ordered the wrong things. And at the end of our meal, our server seemed to get lost and we had to trip someone to get them to bring us our check so we could leave. Sorry to say, this was not a good experience.

A whole lota Lobster Linguine, lobster was tough sauce ratio was prefect
Allison S.

I really don't know what the hype is about this place. It seems like an senior citizen center with bad seafood. I will preface this by I grew up in a crabbing town, and lived by the ocean all my life. I'm not gonna say I'm an expert but I know my seafood. I had the lobster linguine, the sauce and pasta ratio was good but the lobster was tough. I enjoyed eating the pasta more than the lobster, which is sad. I paid $31 for linguine... My friend had the salmon stuffed with crab and the dish was odd, it came with a rich creamy crab stuffing and then it was dressed with brown gravy... That gravy really didn't need to be on the plate it really threw me off. Brown gravy is for meats, not seafood... I don't know what they were thinking. The atmosphere as I said seem like the early bird special at the country club. There was a family there but they kids looked so stiff. All of the waiters were older men, reminds me of the stuffy Michelin Star wannabes in NYC. The waiter was appropriate if that should be a word to describe service, he did his job in and out, was cordial but nothing more, nothing less. Sub par experience and quiet disappointing because so many people rave about it and say it's great seafood in town, maybe because Puerto Rico isn't known for there seafood, thus why you shouldn't really take an extra effort to go here. You're better off getting fried seafood at the local bars.... I think they only reason why I think they should have one star is that their bread was good, warm and soft with a creamy garlic butter! Don't be freaked out by the butter, cause it looks like mayonnaise... it's really good!

I went for a light bite since I wasn't very hungry & it turned out to be a fairly decent experience. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere & I enjoyed looking at the artwork displayed on the walls. It gave the dining room a little extra character while I waited for service. Since I wasn't looking for a full meal, I sampled a couple of dishes. I tried the snapper but it was a bit on the dry side for my taste. It wasn't bad, but it just didn't have the moist texture I was hoping for.My fave dish I sampled was the shredded beef served in a crispy fried plantain cup(tostones rellenos de ropa vieja on the menu). The beef was tender, juicy, & packed w/ flavor. The crispy plantain added the perfect texture & really elevated the dish. The combo of the savory beef w/ the fried plantain worked so well together and made it the standout food I tried. The waitress was just ok (nothing particularly memorable). While the snapper didn't quite hit the mark for me, the shredded beef in the fried plantain cup was delish & stole the show. It was cool to check out the art & decor.

The flavor was so rich and savory. After that first bite, I had a feeling I was going to love their black rice and I was right. I ordered it as a side with my lamb chops, and it was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Everything we ordered was delicious and well seasoned. The lamb chops were tender and juicy, the black rice reminded me of how my abuela used to do, and every dish that came to the table was flavorful from start to finish. I'd def recommend.

The service was a little confusing at first. We were seated and expected to access the menu through a QR code, which wasn't immediately explained to us. We initially expected traditional menus, so there was a bit of uncertainty before we realized how the ordering process worked. We were also seated near one of the air conditioning units, which made some members of our party feel a bit cold during the meal. However, once the food arrived, all of those concerns quickly disappeared. The food was incredible. Rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, every dish at the table was delicious. The arroz con pollo was honestly the best I have ever had in my life. It was perfectly seasoned, comforting, and packed with flavor. Every bite felt like authentic Puerto Rican cooking at its best. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and it made for a wonderful birthday dinner for my wife. While the service experience could be a little clearer and some seating areas may be colder than others, the quality of the food more than makes up for those minor issues. I would absolutely return on a future visit to Puerto Rico.

Service was prompt and informative. We both had cocktails, and Paige said it was one of the best whisky sours she's had. With the snapper - which was HUGE - I had an order of mamposeao, a rice and bean stew that was amazing. My wife's chicken parm also got a great review from her.
