For 10 years I refused to go to Bottles. The reason, the previous owner. But what an Incredible Change with the new owners. The difference in the service is palpable It is a different much improved atmosphere. The rib eye to share is an excellent choice and the wines are reasonable. We have visited both restaurants and our comments apply to both. read more

What a restaurant!!! Great food with all different types of dishes. I've dined there many of times. I always start with the large salad with strawberries. That's for the table. Then we get veal lollipops, scallops, octopus beef carpaccio, shrimp and finish off with the steak platter. All excellent!! Can't forget about visiting the wall of wine. Pick your own bottle of wine and enjoy. The vibe is very cool and upscale. Make sure you inquire about the gratuity. Inquire if they still take part out for the house. Never have been a fan of that practice. Definitely a great dining experience. read more

I had dinner here last week. Mixed reviews but there is new ownership! I ordered the fresh fish of the day caught that morning. Soooo delicious and perfectly cooked! It was not greasy although it was fried. Very very well done and plantains too. Fantastic wine selection as well. Muchas gracias! read more

Prices are a little bit to higher than usual but what you get served on the plate plus the service is amazing.

went back after richard gonzalves is gone. Finally. He was cheating poor workers out of tips for years. What a human slime mold. I won't have to hear his obnoxious barking any more. I do hope the new owner keeps the chef, though the salads here always suck. My guess is he stole his bundle of ill gotten cash and headed off or Miami Beach to join his buddy crooks. Good riddance! He is an enemy of Puerto Rico now. https://www.elnuevodia.com/english/business/notas/bottles-owner-faces-million-dollar-lawsuit-as-he-negotiates-sale-of-guaynabo-restaurant/ read more

We ordered a plate that was basically fried chicken (empanado). Unfortunately, was raw inside. Mistakes can happen and we were understanding at first. But what shocked us was how it was handled. Instead of preparing a new plate, the waiter brought back the same one!! Just reheated. Same pieces of chickens with the same rice and vegetables that had already been in contact with raw chicken. We decided to leave, and they still charged us read more

Great restaurant, great service. Food portions are insane. The vibe is great and is always packed. Wine prices and selection is second to none. Highly recommend.... read more

This is my favorite restaurant in San Juan. I always visit Bottles for a great meal and service whenever I'm in Puerto Rico--outstanding food and service. Highly recommended. read more

Came to this fine food establishment in the San Patricio Zone (Guaynabo) in Puerto Rico. An extensive wine list (you can pick your own wine) and a fantastically good selection with incredible portions makes this a memorable occasion. Highlights of the dishes we ordered were the "presa iberica" (Iberian pork loin) with garlic Parmesan fries and the Thai-style pork belly with "panapen" (breadfruit) tostones. Also great expresso to finish our meal (and these are only appetizers)! read more

Not going back. This place has gone downhill. The meat was overcooked, and the staff were rude sassy and dismissive. Their tipping and billing system is a mess and makes the entire experience uncomfortable. On top of an already-included 9% tip, servers push for an extra 20%, claiming it's necessary for them to earn a fair wage. To make matters worse, if your server's shift ends while you're still eating, they rush to close out your bill and transfer you to a new tab with another waiter. Poor service, poor system, and overall not worth the hassle. Really disappointed. read more

I have to say this is one of the best restaurants I have eaten at, and I have been all over the word! This place is awesome, no other words. Service is a 10, food is a 10! Just come it's amazing. read more

Another excellent and filling meal here at Bottles. This time we came for lunch. It had been years I'd had lunch here. Their sandwiches are excellent. This time I tried the roast beef sandwich. It came with chips and coleslaw. Very good and very meaty. I also had the French onion soup. I will say this is the best French onion soup I've ever had. It came with a side of onion rings and a mini turkey sandwich. Afterwards, I went into a food coma. Well worth it. read more

First time having there dessert. Honestly, we are always stuffed there is never room. This time we were full but I wanted to try the chocolate cake. It came with vanilla ice cream. Inside the ice cream were pieces of ginger cookies. These people know what they are doing. That is why Bottles has become my favorite restaurant in PR tied with El Chotis. read more

It is an upscale experience. Love the risotto and the bake Alaska. Excellent food, service and ambience. read more

The service has gone down considerably during the last couple of years. The food portions are meant to share based on size, yet now they require you about 1 plate per person and a lot of the food is wasted. Also the server is constantly informing you how much time is left of you time to eat which doesn't allow you to enjoy the meal or the wine. Last time we were a group of 8 for 8pm, the waitress looked upset most of the time and she at 10pm informed us our time was up. The restaurant closes at 11pm and there were many tables empty. Plus we had over a $1000 bill based on consumption. If we are consuming and you have no more people to fill the tables at that time, I believe the pressing need for us to leave was unnecessary. It didn't used to be this way many years back and I don't think it's a place I will continue visiting. read more

Had a work trip in Puerto Rico. Although we went to dinner multiple nights, this was my favorite dinner. Had over 10 people at the table. Service was amazing. We did order many bottles of wine over 100/$150...(courtesy of the CEO!) The food literally was to die for. We ordered obviously a ton of food for our big party, look at the pictures below. My absolute favorite (which is unusual) was the gnocchi. OMG I swear it had some addictive substance on it. Loved Puerto Rico overall and Bottles made it amazing even more. Thank you for the great service and food! read more

Bottles has really solid food and ridiculously (almost comically) large portions. As the name implies, they also have an extensive wine selection. Everything that I ate, I enjoyed. However, I shared one appetizer, one main and one dessert with my friend and the two of us couldn't finish anything. We took home some of the appetizer, main and dessert. The service was friendly and our waitress was able to help recommend what to order. It was a leisurely, long, dinner but they do have a time limit for tables. Valet parking is also available. read more

Excellent restaurant. One of my favorites thanks to their remarkable consistency and great food. The service is excellent. Michael always goes above and beyond. read more

This place never disappoints. Big portions, tasty apps, great ingredients, and a wonderful staff. Pick your fav bottle, order two entrées to share and make sure you enjoy your time there. The truffle pasta and poke app are insane. I don't remember having something I did not enjoyed. Even better for big celebrations. Call ahead and grab the cellar tables early. You'll not regret it. read more

As a New Yorker, i ask one thing, please disregard the stupid 1 star reviews and the negative comments. Everyone agrees that the food is delicious and lots of it. Best wine store in Puerto Rico and their prices are way better than most U.S. states. read more

Dear lord when I come back to San Juan, I am coming here. Came with friends while visiting PR to celebrate a birthday, the portions are HUGE and there is NOTHING that is NOT good. I don't have pics because we just really dug into the food. AND there is a ton of wine options (hence bottles) and you can't go wrong. The steak, the seafood, the carpaccio, the wine, the cheese, the waiter, the staff, everything was delicious and amazing. I don't know why its described as being a sandwich shop or Latin American restaurant... It's more steak/seafood and and much more high end than a sandwich shop - not cheap but the portions are big and it's definitely worth the price point - it's a great experience. Strongly recommend this spot if you get a chance to get there. read more

Waiters are rude as hell. The tip is added automatically to the bill so there is no motivation to do a good job. They Are eager to bring wine but water refills are practically non existent. Very very loud and not the place for a romantic meeting. Food os plentiful and passable. Think business lunch stealhouse with prices to match. read more

I hadn't been to bottle in almost 8 years, about 3 months before Maria. They upgraded the interior and the wine set up is still fun, I like walking around picking wines. Food was spectacular, I love the Cartucho, fish was light and flaky; lobster risotto, come on, if it was bad I'd tell you, one of my favorites; the NY was perfectly cooked and balanced everything else out well. Didn't have any appetizers this time but dessert...I only eat the Baked Alaskan. I don't know if it's a good baked Alaskan but it's an awesome tasting dessert. Some key points, well, really one. If you like it order it, you'll like it. Well okay, two, bring friends, unless your 300 lbs you ain't eating any of this solo. The meal above fed 7 of us, and we left food! Potions are huge, food is awesome, atmosphere is loud and fun. A little pricey but no more than you pay in the states but well worth it. NO TIPPING, it's INCLUDED!! Have fun , enjoy and relax...you're in Puerto Rico for goodness sakes. Buen provecho. read more

Enjoyed a nice evening dinner with my wife, there was a bit of a wait, but it was worthwhile. I can say the thing I enjoyed the most, besides the company, was the house wine. It was a red blend, Tomas Postigo, and the glass was so good we decided to go for the whole bottle. In regards to food, we shared an appetizer and and entree. We ordered the Steamed Mussels and the Churrasco. Everything was flavorful, although for next time I would order the beef medium rare, since it was closer to well/medium well and we just wanted it medium. read more

Well the food is good but they obligate you with an 18% tip included. Tips should be given depending of the waiter's service. This is the only way you can express if service has been good. read more

Yes! The best meat and family serving BUT... something strange when you are going to pay the bill. They are charging strange taxes so when you ask, they kind of brush you over with some shenanigans. Then you see that they don't ask for a tip. When you ask for the tip they say it's included in their prices but if you want to leave anything it has to be cash. Very weird everything. read more

Food was good and plates are meant to be shared... however they have too many rules for my taste. No reservations For a party of 12 ladies you must order 7 main dishes...which left very little room for appetizers ( which was what we wanted) You will not be seated until half of your party is there They will not take your order before you whole party is there. read more

Must try: -Beef Carpaccio -Braised veal -Lobster risotto Service was excellent. The wine selection can be overwhelming for people who don't really know wine (me), but great for people who do. The portions are large so this is a great place to eat family style and try out multiple dishes. It's been about a month since my trip to Puerto Rico and I'm still dreaming about how delicious the food was here. read more

Huge portions great selection and premium quality. Tons of leftovers to take home. Tried the sword fish, steak filet, cod fritters, duck, and dessert. Way too much good stuff, I will be back asap to load up on more. read more

Huge portions of incredible food. Great service. This is not a tourist spot. Just solid food and service. I'll be back.

I must say I enjoyed my experience. Make sure you have someone to share your meal with. You won't be able to eat it by yourself. Don't make the same mistake I did. I ordered a steak and I felt overwhelmed. I must say the food was excellent. I will most definitely go back for more. If you are interested in drinking the wine you must purchase the wine by the bottle. Most of my friends stuck with beer to avoid having left over wine. If you want water they only have Fiji and they charge by the bottle. If you must have water be mindful because each bottle is $5.00. This is a great place to have a girls night, farewell party or birthday dinner. Valet Parking is available to customers; however, Uber was easier. I was very satisfied with the customer service as well as the food. So, don't hesitate to check out the restaurant. read more

Rude and snobbish.... And these are just the waiters ... which is unfortunate because they didn't start out that way. We've been going since they were at the old location but this last time the waiter was insulted that I didn't order a bottle of wine (I ordered a beer) and was told that they "prefer to cater to someone who enjoys fine wines" rather than a beer. He proceeded to wait until I finished my beer. read more

Rude entitled staff and extremely overpriced food. I have walked out more than once after being seated and ignored or given attitude by staff. I won't make tht mistake again read more

Consistent quality. Excellent service and portions. Wide menu to chose from, extensive wine list.

The octopus was amazing, the best churrasco in PR, the waiter was excellent, chocolate cake was very good

You have to order all the plates at the same time. They force you yo order a minimum of food.

We were a group of five last night. I have many food allergies due to autoimmune disease, but I don't require extreme modifications. Our server was surly when asked for crudités to accompany the hummus. He brought cooked vegetables. It took three rounds of instruction to request olive oil and seasonings, but no butter, for the preparation of my salmon. I was told that simple steamed rice was not available, nor were any other type of potatoes but mashed (with cream and butter) was available. We all ordered coffee, mine black, with sugar. He brought all coffees with two packets of Splenda. When asked for real sugar, he went to the station and returned with two packets of sugar. TWO. For a table of five. This is not the first time I have experienced this at Bottles. When I requested the mussels, steamed in white wine ONLY (no butter), I was initially told "No, we cannot do that." When pressed, the response was "I will have to ask the chef if we can do that." Really? The food is undoubtedly excellent, and served in abundance. The wine selection is also excellent. This review reflects my personal experiences, so if you have no dietary restrictions or allergies, you will always be completely satisfied with the food. Servers seem to be the wild card. I've had better, happier and more accommodating service from the staff and kitchen at local restaurants happy to have the business and referrals. read more

Excellent selection of wines and delicious food! Our waiter was amazing and personable, he couldn't accommodate our request more. A bit dark, but given the extreme heat, we welcome it! read more

Best restaurant on the island. Food and wine are amazing and the service is great as well. Don't expect your dinner to be cheap though. They don't usually take reservations on Friday/Saturday night, so make sure to go early. My favorites are the foie, filet mignon and beef carpaccio. Their fish is always good as well. And even if you are full, you can't miss their key lime pie or their baked alaska, they are to die for!! read more

I went here for a customer lunch recently. I have been to this location a few times before. However when I was there in the past it was for dinner. I was a little disappointed in lunch because it took almost 2 hours for us to get our food and get out of the door. For lunch that just seemed a little bit long. I will tell you however on a positive note this place is amazing. The food always comes out good and the portions are enough to feed an army. I have never complained one time about the quality of the food or the atmosphere. The only thing that seems to take time is the service. When you're coming out for dinner you want to enjoy your time with your friends and family or whomever you are having dinner with. It is not an issue just spent 2 to 3 hours enjoying appetizers entrée and cocktails. If you're heading out for lunch however and have a limited timeframe I would not recommend stopping in here. It just seems to take too long to get food out of the kitchen. read more
