For appetizer my wife and I shored the Keftedes (meatballs). They came over a yogurt sauce and with a side of arugula. We were a bit disappointed. The taste wasn't bad, but the portion was very small for the price. You get three small meatballs. It's definitely not for sharing. But even for one person it feels a bit high. For the main course my wife ordered the Moussaka and I got the Shrimp Kritharoto and a side Greek Salad. We enjoyed both dishes, as well as the Greek Salad. Keep your n mind this is a small restaurant. There's not a lot space, both inside and outside. We went for dinner and it was packed. We were lucky to get a table inside. It felt like being in a Greek sardine can. Not a place for groups. It is worth eating here, though. We'll be returning to try more dishes and ouzo.

Wonderful service, beautiful low light decor, and the food was very good…read more Part of St. Regis as its fine dining establishment, it is only open for dinner. The prices are very high and the menu is a little short, so I would only go once while you're there. They provide fresh baked complimentary bread and a fried ball of what I think was octopus- both were delicious. We ordered the lobster tails and ossobuco. The lobster tails were standard but the ossobuco melted in your mouth. We ordered two desserts. They dressed one up with the happy birthday chocolate additions, very nice. I'm sure they find a way to do that with whatever dessert you choose (it's not free, which makes sense with this type of restaurant). The coffee bean chocolate truffle was amazing though, highly recommend.

We've been to a lot of fine dinning restaurants all over the world and I can say the service was on par with our expectation in a place of this caliber but the food itself was below average. Most of the dishes we ordered were alright, not spectacular or jaw dropping but not bad either. Only exception was the grilled octopus which was overcooked with a large portion completely charred that we had to cut out and ditch. This was the most unexpected for us in a restaurant such as this. Overall I would say this place is ok for a special occasion but if you have other choices maybe pass this over wouldn't make you regret that decision.

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

The Shredded lamb is on the things that sells fast VERY quickly so I highly recommend ordering it. The plate I ordered is the Turkish Delight where you have the best of everything.

At the end of the night, they gave us a free piece of cake on the house, which is the only reason why this review isn't one star. Also, our waitress was really nice and friendly, which raised the mood of the evening considerably. Other than that, though, I'm afraid I can't recommend this restaurant.

St. Germain Bistro Bar happened to be right across from our Airbnb, and honestly it felt like we got lucky. Even though it was late, they seated us right away and helped us pull together two small tables so our family could sit comfortably. My kids were starving, so that alone was a huge relief. The portions for the kids' pasta and chicken nuggets were a little smaller than expected, but the flavor and quality were excellent. You could tell the food was made with care. I ordered the onion soup and the fried cheese with guava dip and wow. Absolutely delicious. The guava dip especially was incredible. I also had a mojito that was perfectly made. But what really made the night unforgettable was the kindness of the staff. My son had forgotten his inhaler and was having a hard time adjusting to the humidity. He was coughing a lot and clearly uncomfortable. Vianca noticed right away and went out of her way to help. She brought over honey and encouraged him to take a little shot with ginger and honey, then brought hot tea as well. She even suggested things like putting socks on him and using Vicks when we got back. When I mentioned that my kids are half Puerto Rican and their abuela already swears by those remedies, she just lit up and said, "Well you're home then, you already know what to do." That moment really stuck with me. The warmth, the care for kids, the genuine hospitality. It's exactly the kind of Puerto Rican kindness people talk about. The kitchen is small, so service can be a little slower, but it's absolutely worth the wait. The food is great, the drinks are great, and the people make the place special. If you're nearby, definitely stop in. Places like this are why people fall in love with Puerto Rico.
