    Our best dinner in Puerto Rico! Staff was incredible; One of the few restaurants in PR that didn't make us feel hunted as tourists. Someone in reviews described the service level as Michelin star; as someone who has a hobby in collecting stars, I think that's crazy... but, for what you will get compared to elsewhere on the island-- yes, this is great service. I ordered the fish stuffed with lobster- yum. But what truly was THE dish of all dishes was what my husband ordered... I am so sorry to have forgotten the Spanish name, but it was a steak with a lot of onions (photo attached!). SO much flavor, cooked perfectly, a must try! If you go to Ponce, this is a MUST stop for dinner. A word of warning: it is located in a VERY sketchy parking lot. You have to be buzzed in to enter the restaurant, and buzzed out to leave. Upon departure, we were approached by a very intoxicated woman who was waiting for a customer to leave the restaurant and harassed us for money. She was too small to be a threat to us, but if she was a large man that could've been an escalated situation. Come with your head on a swivel.

    La Casa Del Chef has some great seafood dishes. I had the Conch Salad ($28.95) and Lobster Mofongo ($29.95). The lobster mofongo comes with a choice of tomato sauce or garlic sauce. I chose the garlic sauce and I loved the strong garlic taste to the lobster - my only warning woeuld be that the garlic sauce those have a lot of butter in it. The conch salad was incredibly refreshing and a must try! The conch was so tender and the dressing had a perfect balance of acidity and spice! The pina coladas were $5.50 each and tasted great. The serve you complimentary garlic bread as you sit down, which i wish I cold have more of. I got the sweet plantains (amrillos) and tostones as a side. The amarillos were delicious. The tostones was a bit dry, but I dipped them in the garlic-butter sauce from the lobster mofongo and it was the perfect accompaniment. All in all, great service, amazing decor and paintings, and good eats!

    My favorite meal I had while visiting Puerto Rico. It had me wishing we were closer to Ponce so we could have dined here multiple times. The service was on point and the pina coladas were **mixologist's kiss**. We ordered the shrimp mofongo, black bean soup, empanadas, and shredded fried plantains (forgot the name). The shrimp mofongo was a generous portion and enough for my husband and I to share- it was absolutely delicious and the best mofongo we had on the island. The black bean soup was equally packed with flavor and made for a good comfort food after a long rainy day. The empanadas were large and packed with lots of well-seasoned beef. I wish we had ordered another shrimp mofongo to go since were staying 1.5 hours outside of Ponce, but it is okay. After a nice Don Q rum tour, this is the spot to go to!

    Underwhelming. The hotel recommended this place for "authentic" PR food. I found the food to be bland.

    This restaurant was recommended by a local we met at the golf course…read more First the view is awesome! More important the food was Excellent! I believe this was the best Mahi Mahi I have ever tasted, that includes fish I caught and prepared the same day!! The staff is very welcoming and a delight to be served by this staff. Obviously we had a fabulous time and highly recommend you eat here!

    We visited today with some friends that were visiting Ponce. The restaurant has awesome views. We…read moreasked for several fresh juices and black coffee. We were considering ordering some food. Yet our drinks came like 45 minutes after we order. My coffee cane with no sugar. I asked the waitress for some sugar but she never came. We waited for over an hour for sugar. We were sitting outside and the waitress offered some candlelight; that also never came. I saw her looking at us while she was serving other customers. We were in street attire and maybe she thought we could not afford to eat there. We left and pay the account and left. The waitress did not showed her face. Please hire competent people or hire more people so they will have the time to give good customer service! Second the prices were outrageous. I paid $6 for a black coffee. Got there for the view! The service is not good!
