    We were very excited to dine here but when we checking in with our party of 13, we were told that children were not allowed. I understand have this policy but they need to make it more apparent especially at a family resort.

    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.

    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.

    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!

We were able to get a half meat lovers and half veggie lovers pizza which was nice to be able to get a variety to try. The meat lovers side was loaded with pepperoni, Italian sausage and bacon. The meats tasted fresh and of good quality. The veggie side was good as well with a nice selection of olives, onions, tomatoes and green peppers. The only thing missing was tomato sauce - there was either none or a small amount. But we think that is the way they do pizza here in Puerto Rico so this is not a failing of the restaurant. The interior of the restaurant was nicely decorated and clean. The owner was friendly and helpful and spoke perfect English which was great for us being from the states. My only suggestion would be to light up the menu somehow as it was on black background and being a somewhat sight-challenged middle-aged person it was hard for me to read it. But the owner helped with suggestions and questions to find out what would be good for us. Overall a very good experience and definitely recommended.

So we decided to try it. We called ahead and made the reservation for 8. We were going to eat here Tuesday but they were closed. We got all dressed up and when we arrived we were seated by the host. He helped me in my seat and handed us our menus. The waitress was with us right away, took our drinks, and brought them right back with bread after waiting on her other tables. She took our orders and it didn't take long at all for the food to come out. We got the alfredo. One with chicken and one with shrimp. We also got an order of homemade fries. The fries took a little longer than our entrée but it wasn't a big deal. We had a lot of food on our plate. It was really good. And we were stuffed to the point we couldn't move. I felt like every review I read was filled with people mad at the resort. We had a great experience. Plus it was by far the nicest restaurant in the area.

While it wasn't "cheap", for a quality steak house dinner with a highly attentive wait staff, it was well worth it. I'd expect to spend alot more on a restaurant of this quality in the US. Bonus points for being classy while still having a fun food challenge available to patrons.

    Rather disappointing. The house salad, while reasonably well-appointed with mushrooms, tomato,…read moreand onion, had a hint of the taste of rotten lettuce - while I didn't find any, maybe it sat next to some or was selected out of a batch of partially spoiled lettuce. Also, the mushrooms appeared to be from a can, not fresh. Perhaps I am wrong on that point, but that's how it looked. I don't know what kind of fish was used for the Carribean ceviche but it was very tough, very chewy, and sliced rather than diced. I've never had chewy fish before, and I didn't like it. They will not serve tap water, even though it is generally considered safe to drink here. If they want to be over-protective in this way, they should offer filtered tap water without charge. As others reported, service was rather slow - when we arrived there was only one other occupied table, and it took about 20m to receive two of our three ordered dishes, which were all salad or appetizer. Apparently the waiter forgot about the third, and I was actually hoping that she had, but she brought it about 15 minutes after the first two, with apologies. After presenting the check, I provided my credit card, and was asked how much I wanted to tip. That's odd. I told her (and tipped generously, because wait staff deserve a decent income). She went away and later returned with my card, without receipt. I asked for a receipt (of course I want to know the amount actually charged!) . She was unable to print a receipt at that point, so she printed out a register report and showed me the amount there. Really odd. The entrees are quite pricy $20 up near $50.

We got the BISTEC ENCEBOLLADO and both mamposteaos with tostones. Also, must try their sorullitos!
