3/5 (really closer to 2.5)…read more We didn't have reservations, so the host told us we could only sit in the lounge. The restaurant didn't look very busy, and we were dressed casually, so we wondered if that was why--but we noticed another casually dressed couple seated there too. Not a huge deal, just a strange first impression. The star of the show was our server, Elicia. She was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there. She made us feel like valued guests, and she was also bartending! The drinks were a highlight. The Mojito Clarito was surprisingly clear but full of flavor, the Pepino cocktail was great, and the guava mocktail was easily my favorite. Unfortunately, the food was very inconsistent, especially for the price. The T-bone came out much rarer than the medium rare we ordered and wasn't cooked consistently. The truffle mashed potatoes were delicious, and the sea bass was the best entrée--great sauce and vegetables. The lobster tails were easily the worst dish, despite being one of the most expensive. They were oddly sweet and incredibly rubbery, like erasers. The tartare was also strangely sweet, with a sticky balsamic-like dressing and only four little chips. The oysters were disappointing as well--4 for $32 is steep, and I expected more than cheese simply warmed on top. Overall, there were some great elements, but the food lacked the consistency and execution I'd expect at this price point. Honestly, this is closer to 2.5 stars, and Elicia is the reason I'm rounding up to 3. She really made the experience.

We ordered the ceviche appetizer and that alone was worth the drive. I know we had other appetizers but I honestly cannot remember them due to the amazing mess of the ceviche. For the mains I think my steak with cilantro rice, was the best meal of the night. The rest of the table had hog fish, rice and beans, tostones, and lobster which were enjoyed by all.

We didn't order any entrees, as our family likes to try many things. My wife's favorite is ceviche and she was impressed by this dish. (Order it) We also ordered fish bites. Solid choice as the guava sauce was memorable. La arepas de coconut. Solid. The fish empanadas were great. Definitely order those. But calamari was chewy and overcooked. I'd pass on this. Cocktails were amazing. Spicy margarita is spicy!! I had a mojito which was delicious. You won't go wrong with any cocktail. Server was great. He did mention to me that we should order soon as the kitchen will get busy. We waited as we were enjoying our dinner. (We didn't have any problems) I'd go back. I'd also suggest sticking to your plan. It's your evening and don't let service control the experience. At the end of it...you control the tip = thank you.

It's a cool indoor/outdoor restaurant, with a nice sized bar and island decor. I ordered the Red Snapper and the server promptly came over with two for me to pick from before they cooked it to my liking. I chose grilled over fried. It took a little while for them to prepare it but it was well worth the wait. That snapper was freakin delicious!! So much so, I convinced her the next day to check out Cayo Caribe instead of Sushi. We started off with a couple drinks and calamari. She chose the grilled red snapper and I chose fried snapper this time. Honestly, mine was fried a bit too long, so I regreted not going with grilled again :( Cayo Caribe is must go for anyone that's visiting PR and loves fish. I thorougly enjoyed myself but definitely go for the grilled..lol!

We came late in the evening, and they may have been a little bit short on help, so the service was a bit slow. It was worth the wait! Fast forward: My wife and I had a couple of Mojitos, and we shared two to-die-for dishes...Fetuccini with creamy pesto and Grouper. The grouper was heavenly, the best we'd ever had anywhere. Our other dish was salmon with vegetables, a green salad, and, of course, our daily quota of French Fries. It was also divine. It was so good, in fact, that it reminded me of the scene from "When Harry Met Sally." Absolutely orgasmic. I honestly think that after two weeks in Puerto Rico, we know what we're talking about when we say that Puerto Fino is PR's greatest little restaurant. Que Bueno!

Only because my son follows and is a fan of Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio a.k.a Bad Bunny and that…read morehe owns a restaurant inside the mall of San Juan, is the reason we made reservations at his restaurant Lala. At first no dinner reservations available at all for the whole time we are here in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Since lunch reservations are available we made them for the day before we leave. I was a little skeptical about the reviews I've read. Some saying they are pricey and some saying service was mediocre for a fancy restaurant. The one thing I was not sure about are their menus. Do they have a lunch menu or is there only one for dining the whole day? My questions could not be answered due to no website information on Yelp. Once we got there and got seated, I see they work off one menu which can actually be a really good thing. The other unknown are their menus serving sizes. As we have been to real fancy gourmet restaurants, most often they are small servings. We each found an entree we like without duplicating so we can sample from each other. We also agreed on appetizers that we all want to try. My wife got an order of assorted sashimi for her, but we shared a focaccia, tempura shrimp which is very similar to Fire cracker shrimp or like the honey walnut shrimp without the walnuts, and the French onion escargot gratin. All three appetizers came out as expected and all delicious. Our entrees came out and we were all very surprised by the portion sizes and the appetizing appearances. We each got a portion or bite of what we wanted to try, but for our own orders, I loved the lamb I chose. For most of the entrees they were a la carte unless otherwise described and even the water had a fee to it. Reviews are really based on the individual's opinion and what they mean by certain descriptions. One Yelp review said it was pricey. To me pricey means expensive with the portions not equaling to the portion size. I found that yes, most entrees here are expensive, but the portion sizes being so big, it was acceptable. Another review said their server made them order everything including dessert all at once and for us, that was not at all true. Our server was actually great by pacing things out so we can enjoy our lunch. As for dessert, I'm glad he didn't have us decide before we have eaten or I would have wasted an order of dessert. I was so full, there would have been no way I could have eaten another bite. We are glad we came here and got to try the delicious food of (in a Puerto Rican accent) Bad Bunny's LaL

Any restaurant that presents itself as a fine dining establishment--where a dinner for two can…read moreeasily exceed $375--should never require guests to order their appetizer, entrée, and dessert all at once, especially before they've had a chance to fully review the menu or even order a cocktail. I was extremely disappointed by this aspect of my experience at Lala. The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful, and I appreciated that the servers took the time to explain the preparation of each dish when it arrived. Those details reflected the level of service I would expect from a fine dining restaurant. Unfortunately, the first five minutes after being seated already set the wrong tone for the evening. Our server, "L," insisted that we place our entire order upfront, including appetizers, entrées, and dessert. I politely declined and ordered only our appetizers, explaining that I hadn't yet decided on the rest of the meal. Fine dining should allow guests to enjoy the experience at a comfortable pace--to savor their cocktails, appetizers, and conversation before deciding on the next course. While the food itself was excellent, this rushed approach to ordering significantly diminished what could have been an otherwise outstanding dining experience.

For a buffet-style setup, the variety left a lot to be desired. The number of dishes being passed around was minimal, and the salad bar was nothing to write home about. Nothing really stood out or made me feel like I was getting my money's worth. Bottom line: skip it. The value just isn't there for what you're paying. I'd look elsewhere for a better experience at a comparable price point. My waitress was not impressive-she explained nothing, never offered or asked if we wanted more potatoes, yuca fries or plantains and had to be ran down for refills - even though it was not busy. The dessert was the only star within my experience.
