The menu had great options between "The Healthy Choice breakfast" which I had - to cheesecake filled French toast. Our servers were friendly and service was quick.

On my trip, I actually visited for breakfast twice because my family loved it so much!

First, the A/C wasn't working, which is a brutal setup for a summer day. To make matters worse, the live music integration needs a rethink. While a saxophone and piano duo sounds like a lovely idea on paper, this space is just too small for it. The musicians are positioned way too close to the tables. The volume was so intense that we couldn't hold a conversation or even enjoy our food. I actually left with a headache and my ears trembling. Luckily, the musicians took a break toward the end, which finally gave us some temporary relief. I'd love to come back for the food, but only after they fix the air conditioning and dial back the decibels.

The potatoes...OMG, how crispy. All of it was good, but I wouldn't say anything was spectacular although I would come again if I wanted something that I wanted to ensure was tasty! My server was so sweet and did a great job of confirming my order and checking in with me despite the crowd. The only flag I would put is for the coffee drinks. Some of the lattes are VERY sweet. I saw two other people who also ordered different flavors and we all collectively ended up sharing how we didn't expect them to be that sweet. They are loaded with syrups, whip cream, and whatever toppings that align with your flavor, so just know that before ordering one. Very beautiful drinks but barely any coffee in those specifically.

Popped in during a cruise ship port visit. It was maybe a 15-20 min easy walk (bit of street…read moreincline) from the Carnival Jubilee port. We made a reservation in the morning when we docked in San Juan since I read they stay busy. Atmosphere: Upon arrival, there was a short wait for 2 of us. The eatery has inside seating however with 5 full length doors to the outside it feels like an open air kinda eatery. There's a large countertop eating bar in the middle of the restaurant & an additional eating area in the back, but overall it's a pretty small dining spot. Food: Tried to make a few alterations to my dish such as scramble the omlette instead of the traditional fold it & add an over easy egg to the sandwich. They said the kitchen is very particular about the presentation of the food so no "scrambled" omelette & the over easy egg had to be on the side in case the yolk popped on the sandwich before making it to the table. Ok! Veggie omlette was really flavorful. Full of diced veggies. The avocado I added was such a nice consistency. Yes it was ripe but I think it's a different variety of avocado than we tend to get in mainland US. With the omelette plate, I substituted french toast ($6 up charge) for the regular toast. The french toast was soft & fluffy. Very good. The dish also came with a generous portion of hand cut French fries. It would have been better if they were hot but they were still good. My husband got the Cuban sandwich & added an over easy egg & said the sweet plantain on the sandwich was unexpected & really made it quite good. Pricing: Price point may be considered moderate to moderately higher, but you're on holiday and the food & ambiance are good. Breakfast was $78 before tip for 2 entrees (with add ons), 2 specialty coffees, 1 juice & $4 for unlimited filtered water. All in all, it was a heck of a lot of food, tasty, and I left very satisfied. I definitely recommend it!
