    Lobster Risotto
    Jaime Y.

    Our 4 Course Meal at Palio at the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar in Puerto Rico is quite possibly the best vacation dining experience we've ever had. Everything was amazing! The restaurant was so beautiful, there was a violinist playing music while you eat. Each course was so delicious, from the Caesar salad, Jamón Iberico, whipped ricotta, filet mignon, lobster risotto,and desserts. The filet was cooked exactly, which we liked, and the service was impeccable. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend checking them out. We ended up losing power in our AirBnb right after this dinner, but luckily, it was located on the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar property, and we got to experience everything this beautiful resort had to offer. I'm looking forward to our next trip back.

    I'll start with the positives of this restaurant - the service was great. The wait staff was extremely attentive, professional, and hospitable. We were seated immediately with complimentary Prosecco. The ambiance is more sophisticated and upscale, and the plating of the food is beautiful and almost like art. We did the 3 course option. For the first course, I had the burrata. I do not recommend getting it, I couldn't tell if it was the burrata or the tomatoes but it didn't taste like burrata and was awful. I was shocked, especially since that was our first course. Someone else at our table had the burrata as well. I thought maybe it was just me that didn't like it, but the other person also said it was not good and didn't eat it. The salmon dish was amazing. I was very pleased with that - it was cooked excellent and the tomatoes on the side were bursting with flavor. Someone else also had the Lobster Carbonara and it was spectacular!! So so good. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was also amazing. The espresso martini dessert isn't actually a martini, it's ice cream with liquor poured on top which confused us and unfortunately the one who ordered is dairy free so didn't get to enjoy it. They also treated us to complimentary house made limoncello which was a nice surprise. Overall, it's a great restaurant and experience if you're willing to pay the price (EXPENSIVE price). especially if you drink. By far the most expensive meal on our trip and one that we've done in a long time. If the first course was better, I would've given it a 4 star - not quite there to be worth 5 stars for how expensive it is though.

    My mom and I were in Puerto Rico to celebrate my 40th birthday and went here for a big celebratory dinner. It was amazing! The tasting menu was delicious with lots of choices, the service was exceptional, and they were very kind when they learned it was my birthday. The restaurant is styled beautifully, but what else can you expect from a resort hotel? The next time I come to Puerto Rico, I am going to stay here for sure!

    New Year's Eve reservations for dinner tonight. Not sure what to think seeing that this place only has a 2.5 Stars overall. Keeping my expectations low is best it seems. Our 6:30PM reserved for 6PM by accident. We were still seated. It's a NYE prix fixe menu tonight. $95/PP. Or the pick of the regular menu to choose from as well. Sandra is waiting on us with our drinks. Edgardo is our server tonight. First course: Carrot soup. Second course: 1856 Prime Rib, blackened salmon, pasta and roasted eggplant. Dessert: Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse. One prime rib prix fix medium rare and one blackened salmon prix fixe, one seasonal risotto, Caesar salad, a blackened salmon, burrata salad and a blackened salmon. The tomato and herb bread is okay. The sun dried tomato spread is the best part of the bread. The bread is quite dense and not so billowy, still palatable with the sun dried tomato. The carrot soup is nice and smooth, it could be warmer, it was barley luke warm. The burrata is yummy, the bread accompaniment is fresh and crunchy. The pesto bed is a nice pairing with the burrata cheese. The Caesar salad is full leaves and is good. The anchovies are tasty as well. The seasonal risotto is with goat cheese, caramelized onions and raisins is quite good. The champagne risotto with cilantro with the prix fixe with the salmon is not as good. The prime rib was more medium well than kept up rare, so a bit tougher than expected, still not bad. The mushroom (porcini) risotto was good. Granada Gremolata was also good. All of the salmon was nicely cooked and seasoned too. The panzanella came after our entrees, they were forgotten and missed in the process. The basil dressing was really good, maybe a bit heavy on the dressing, it was swimming. The hazelnut mousse was okay, beautiful presentation, cubicle balls of mousse. The meringue drops were cool accompaniment. The raspberry sauce is the highlight of the dessert to me. Gives a nice tartness to the mousse dessert. I don't get much hazelnut flavoring. Dinner was $175. The prix fix wasn't worth the $95. The carrot soup, panzanella and the hazelnut mousse was not worth the extra $33. The billing got a bit mixed up trying to split the bill in two.

First, the bacalaíta was a bit greasy, but the flavor and crispy outside was excellent. I could always go for a bit more cod, but a little of their spicy pique made up for it. The pique (hot sauce or hot vinegar) reminded me of a spicy sofrito. There was a lot of fresh cilantro and pepper flavor which complemented the seafood we ordered. The picada mariscos or seafood appetizer platter was perfect for a late afternoon dinner. It was a generous helping of battered fish nuggets, stuffed seafood tostones, mixed seafood cocktail, and coconut shrimp. I think you can order any seafood in the plantains or cocktail, and we tried the mixed with shrimp, octopus, and conch. At $30, it can easily start a table of 4 as an appetizer, or 2 normal appetites fire dinner. We should have known better and stopped there. No, we ordered the shrimp and octopus mofongo in Creole sauce. As expected, the Creole sauce was a tomato base and absolutely awesome. It was by and far my favorite dish of the week, although my guy prefers the silky soft trifongo at Edelweiss in the kiosks. The server/bartender saw us struggle to get through the massive amount of food and took pity on us. She comped a couple of shots of a tasty orange elixir, and like magic we could eat more. Still, we took a box home with us that is enough for a meal on it's own. Crío Mar was a win for us today. Be warned though, food is made to order so expect a wait for anything ordered from the kitchen. If you just want a snack, like other kioskos they have frituras in a case to take away with your rum punch. Speaking of that, I overhead a patron who came in after us say "this is better than the other place," in reference to said punch. Also, this isn't your high-faluttin' crab house back home. Napkins are paper and while the restroom is free to diners, they charge $1 for use by the public. If language is an issue for you, you'll have no problem. Our server barely had an accent and the owner spoke fantastic English.

And, they were not wrong. The place is located on the corner of the busy highway and the street that leads up to the Wyndham Rio Mar resort. There is limited parking however you can park along the street and then walk down. The bakery itself is connected to another restaurant that serves broiled chicken and other delicious Puerto Rican bites. We had breakfast there and it was delicious. We ordered a beef pastelillo (empanada), a sandwich called bocadillo (IYKYK), lattes, and an egg scramble that came with a side of cloud bread (pan sobao). Everything was delicious here, again like most places you can share the breakfast except for the beef empanada. I ate half my sandwich and took the other half to eat on the way home. The ambience is nice, the staff is very friendly and attentive. The place is clean and there are plenty of tables and seating available. The chicken restaurant next-door, which they also run, was not open yet. I am definitely planning on coming back to have breakfast yet again and also try the chicken place next door. Enjoy! Ps. We were so hungry and a little short on time so unfortunately, I was not able to get pictures of the other food we ordered.

    We drove past Bebo's in our Lyft ride and our driver said it was very good so we decided to visit…read morethe next day. It is a great option if you want local food without the tourist price tag. The inside looks like a cafeteria but it stays busy. We were seated quickly although it seemed packed. They have a good amount of menu options and cross out what isn't available. They also have drink options that our server listed to us. To start, we ordered the lobster empanadas and sangria. The empanadas were delicious! Very tasty and fresh. The sangria however, was not great. It just tasted like juices that don't really work together. I couldn't taste the wine. We ordered the roasted pork and skirt steak. The steak was really tasty, and juicy. But the roasted pork was very dried and hard. It had some good bits in it but there were quite a few pieces that were too cooked to eat. The rice and beans were cooked very well. This is the perfect place for quick local food where you won't spend too much. But if you want a very high quality, I would choose elsewhere.
