For that reason, I'd recommend going at an off time for lunch because it was great! They were out of a few items, but I ended up with a pork chop with guava sauce and it was so good. They were also sadly out of the tres leches cake but I popped back in later that week as they were closing and were thrilled they had some left. That may have been the best tres leches I've ever had. The drinks were also delicious! We'll definitely return next time we're in PR.

I recently visited Levant for my birthday dinner and was extremely disappointed by the way my…read morehusband and I were treated. There is absolutely NO signage anywhere in the restaurant stating that flash photography is not allowed. While we were quietly sitting at our table waiting for food, my husband took a quick photo of me with flash. Out of nowhere, Patrick, who identified himself as the General Manager, approached us in an incredibly aggressive and hostile manner and abruptly said "NO FLASH" with an attitude that was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. If there are rules guests are expected to follow, maybe the restaurant should clearly communicate them instead of having management aggressively confront paying customers. I asked to speak to the assistant manager who handled the situation much more professionally and was kind, understanding, and willing to listen. Unfortunately, Patrick's behavior completely ruined the experience and left a terrible impression on what was supposed to be a special birthday dinner. His behavior was racial profiling. No guest should feel singled out, uncomfortable, or disrespected simply for taking a photo when there were no visible rules posted anywhere in the restaurant.

We're currently dining here, and from the moment my partner and I walked in, the experience has…read morebeen mixed. One of the hostesses was noticeably rude at the start, which set an uncomfortable tone. After being seated, our waiter hasn't been outright unkind, but there's a clear difference in how we're being treated compared to other guests. As a same-sex couple, it feels like we're not being received as warmly, even though he seems to be making an effort to remain professional. As a Puerto Rican, that's honestly a bit disappointing and feels out of place. That said, the food itself has been very good.

The hot sauce on the table was nice, not too hot but a good kick, I usually do not like habanero based hot sauces but this was good! The Queso Frito was interesting in flavors & textures, delicious. El Conflicto was perfect, all the flavor of a pina colada but without the heaviness of syrups & sugar. The Pollo Borracho was super flavorful & filling, chicken cooked to perfection falling off the bone. My fiancé had the Carne Frita, it was super tender & a well balanced dish. Service was friendly & attentive. My only complaint- we were so full we couldn't even look at the dessert menu! Guess we will just have to go back.

Indoors was also quite spacious, but I chose to enjoy the weather outdoors. I was instantly attended to and well taken care of by the staff. My food came out in a reasonable time as well, even at lunch hour. I enjoyed the vegan Cubano sandwich which was SO extraordinary but not overbearing in taste, also quite filling and large pin portion. I could have taken the second half home to be honest but just scarfed it down. I enjoyed the charcoal lemonade (my first time ever having this, it was perfect) and choc chip banana bread for desert. If I could give this place 10 stars I would, and I think they should open up a 2nd location. This is the best vegan restaurant in Puerto Rico.

Think of it as the criollo version of your açaí bowl type place. You see what you want and it gets prepared to your liking. Customizations are welcome! And it's fast. I think if this place was in a bigger plaza, it would be packed, but service is great and quick. I had the pulled pork stuffed avocado bowl. Excellent flavor. This one used arroz mamposteado instead of white rice and it fits it perfectly. The spicy mayo is a nice new touch to it, and the arañitas are crumbled and gives it an excellent crunchy texture. In short - fast, nice, great tasting clean food with all the criollo roots present. I'm here right now eating but this placed deserved the instant review.

And the pita bread was top-notch, probably some of the best we've had. We all loved it! My husband and I shared the lamb shish kebab, but unfortunately, it wasn't our favorite. The meat was a bit tough and not cooked quite the way we like it, which made it hard to chew. That said, the wait staff were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was so cute and cozy, making the whole experience still enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try a different dish next time. There's a lot on the menu that looked amazing!

We had a very limited amount of time in Old San Juan, so after an absolutely stellar golf cart tour…read moreof the city, our group was ready to eat. We were seated quickly on the patio, which had a great atmosphere, but one member of our party was engaged in a losing battle against the local bird population. These weren't your average birds politely minding their own business--they were running coordinated food-theft operations and dive-bombing tables like tiny feathered pirates. Seeing the concern, the staff graciously moved our group inside without hesitation, which we really appreciated. Service took a little while after that, but the place was busy, and they'd already accommodated our last-minute relocation due to the ongoing Bird Crisis of 2026, so we were happy to relax with a few beers and cocktails while we waited. It's been a while, but if memory serves me correctly, we ordered Fish Bites, Rum Chicken Bites, and several other shareable plates. Everything was delicious. Even our notoriously picky son cleaned his plate of fries, which may be the highest rating our family can award. ‍ The inside of the restaurant was almost an attraction unto itself. Everywhere you looked there were interesting knick-knacks, old rum bottles, antiques, and random treasures. I could have spent another hour just wandering around and inspecting the cabinets. Part of me wishes we could have stayed on the patio because the energy outside was lively and fun. Maybe next time we'll be a little braver--or at least better prepared to negotiate with the birds. Overall, the prices seemed fair for a popular tourist destination, the food was excellent, and the staff was accommodating. If I find myself back in Old San Juan someday, I'd happily return

We didn't…read morerealize that most places that were recommended close early on Wednesday's, so we ended up here which is close to the cruise ship. There was no wait for a table, but it took a good 10 minutes for the waiter to even come to our table. Drinks took about 5-7 min, which isn't bad. We ordered dinner and the wait began. 20 minutes after we ordered, my wife's dinner came out, but mine didn't. She finished her food in about 10 min, my dinner still hadn't arrived. We waited another 30 min (1 hour after ordering) and my meal still hadn't come out. Our waiter never checked on us, never offered us more drinks, never apologized for the wait. After the hour, I walked up to our waiter and told him we were leaving. They did remove the food that never arrived but they didn't seem the least bit apologetic. For a first impression of Puerto Rican service and quality, I would never recommend this place.

When we arrived for our reservation, it took awhile to be acknowledged and finally seated by the staff. When we were ready to order, our friend called our server, Enrique, to let him know. His reaction took us by surprise. He proceeded to tell our elderly friend that she needed to be more patient with him. He said that his section was full and that he was working alone. It was a very awkward moment and almost put a damper on our dining experience. We felt terrible for our dear friend who felt disrespected and humbled. Having worked in service industries for decades, we are fully aware of how stressful a dining room full of diners can be for a server. In this case however, we noticed that he only had 3 tables and that he was being assisted by other staff members. The manager, a very gracious host, seemed to sense something was not quite right. He paid special attention to our friend and managed to turn an uncomfortable situation into a pleasant one. The food was good, not great, but the setting was absolutely stunning. For Enrique, we left the minimum tip amount: 15% although we cleave at least 20%. 15% was a large tip in this instance. We left it because we figured that they might pool their tips and we didn't want to penalize all of the staff members. We'll return but only to the bar to enjoy the amazing view.
