Our server walked us through the menu and special options. It's $100 per person and you get to choose three courses each, one app, one starter, and one entree. I liked the way they managed their menu as you had several choices in each category as opposed to prix fixe where everything is chosen for you. Some of the specials did require an up charge. I chose the fried calamari, the spinach salad, and filet mignon. Everything was delicious. The calamari portion was huge. I only could eat about half. The spinach salad was actually mixed greens as they hadn't gotten their spinach shipment in yet (island life). It came topped with popcorn, a unique option that was quite good. The filet was cooked perfectly. It was so tender and had a nice rich sauce over the top. It came with asparagus and potatoes. Husband got the duck, gnocchi, and mahi mahi. His meal was excellent as well. I got to taste everything. I kind of wish we would have had a dessert option instead of an app.

An unexpected stop for lunch during a cruise stop in Old San Juan, PR, the Istanbul Restaurant was…read morea combination of Turkish dishes along with dishes native to Puerto Rico. My brother and I tried dishes from both menus, and found it to be quite good. As we were walking past, a small sign for 'Grandma's Kitchen' caught our eye. My brother had been encouraging me to try Puerto Rico's national dish: Mofongo - mashed fried plantains. Unfortunately, restaurants were just packed with long waits and I wasn't in the mood to wait outside in the sun for a long time. The door next to the sign stated that it was a restaurant called 'Istanbul'. We peaked inside, and was welcomed warmly by a host, who let us know that the restaurant was both Grandma's Kitchen/Istanbul. There was nobody else dining inside, which was weird considering how every other restaurant in the area was packed. The dishes are made to order, so took a bit of time for it to come out one at a time. Mixed Seafood Stuffed Mofongo ($25) - served in a wooden pilon, the tall and narrow neck was stuffed with the mashed plantains, topped with a seafood blend of clams, dense fish pieces, octopus, and squid. The sauce was really well done, not too rich, but buttery enough to accentuate the seafood. I have to believe the seafood was prepared from frozen, but it tasted really good: a definite notch up from the seafood I've been having on the cruise boats. It was the first time having mofongo, and I liked it. This version had fried plantain chips, mixed with the mash of more plantains. I don't think this version had pork skin rinds, and I didn't miss it. It's extremely dense, so ended up eating maybe a third of it while finishing the seafood. It's a solid alternative to rice, though definitely can't eat too much of it. Doner Kebab ($18) - from the Istanbul portion of the menu, this dish was tasty, though the meat was cooked on a flat top grill like a burger patty, instead of on a vertical rotisserie. The lamb/beef patty was loosely formed and well seasoned, with the accompanying tzatziki sauce being a good add-on. Both dishes were cooked very well, the back kitchen has some skills. Service was friendly throughout. Water is not offered, but guessing they will give to you if asked. Payment was provided after the meal, and they do stick on a mandatory 15% gratuity for all party sizes.

Everyone had their favorite dish, and I ended up going with the Street Beet Salad with falafel. I loved how all of the ingredients came together and tasted super delicious! This was one of the more creative items on the menu, but there are also a good bit of classic Mediterranean dishes to choose from as well. Overall I don't think you can go wrong with anything here. The locals clearly love this hidden gem and I can 100% see why. I found the price point to be really reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the size of the portion. I will say it wasn't even that expensive for mainland food which I really appreciated. The woman taking orders was very kind and easy to talk to. It seems like there are three women in the truck cooking and taking orders, and doing an amazing job! People waiting in line are also friendly and happy to rave about this place. I will 100% need to come back before this trip ends

I had a hankering for a good gyro, so actively sought this place out after seeing it on Yelp. It was decent. Located in the Nisky shopping center, Broken Plate occupies the former location of a popular restaurant called Salt'n'Vinegar. It has been open for about two years, and has a mostly local clientele. The parking lot of the mall was packed with cars, even during morning. Daria was our hostess/waitress and was informative throughout. The lunch menu is not available until 11am, so had to order items off of the breakfast menu. Most things are a la carte. Pistachio Crusted French Toast ($14) - One large piece of stuffed french toast, cut diagonally. Described as 'stuffed with honey, vanilla, pistachio cream, topped with berries and powdered sugar'. The berries were fresh blueberries. I stole a bite, and it was delicious. It didn't need syrup. Gyro breakfast ($18) - the meat is described as lamb doner, but it had not been prepared from a rotating spit. Instead, the meat was a good representation of food service gyro meat, reheated on a grill...which considering where we were, was pretty good. The plate included any 2 eggs, so got it scrambled soft and it was prepared well. The breakfast doesn't come with Tzatziki, which was an extra $2. It came with pita bread, and thinly sliced peppers and onions. It ended up being a satisfying gyro sandwich. My brother continued to shoot the breeze with our waitress while I finished my gyro. She recommended some places to get whole fried fish, which is what the area is famous for. The bill came and that's when I realized there is no sales tax in the USVI. Payment was easy, and because it uses USD, was able to use a CC that doesn't waive foreign transaction fees.

To my surprise, it was pleasant. The slightly burnt crust was a little thin, but all of the toppings went well with one another. Will I go back? Probably because of the location.
