The lobster risotto was flavorful and the serloin with dirty rice was mouth watering. I can't say enough good things about the food and the atmosphere at this restaurant. Thank you so much for the incredible experience. Counting down the days until we eat here again.

They lined the entire pilón--the bottom and the walls--with flavorful, garlicky mofongo, then packed the center with a generous mountain of tender, juicy churrasco. Every bite had the perfect balance of steak and mofongo. That's Puerto Rican engineering at its finest. The churrasco was tender, the mofongo was moist and packed with flavor, and the whole meal tasted authentic--like someone's abuela was back in the kitchen making sure nobody left hungry. If you're in Dorado, hazte un favor and stop here. You'll leave saying "¡Qué brutal!" while secretly wondering if it's socially acceptable to scrape the last bits of mofongo out of the pilón with your fork... or your finger. ¡Gracias, La Terraza! We'll definitely be back. This is the kind of Puerto Rican food we came here hoping to find.

    First off, we were reeling from a hellish day dealing with Expedia, who had royally messed up our…read moreValentine's Day trip. This place was packed, but after dealing with two people quickly, the greeter set us quickly. She then allowed us to move to a better table, on the terrace overlooking the ocean, when it became available. Our server, Billy, cannot be beat. He made excellent recommendations and described every drink and dish perfectly. We had the mushroom appetizer, which is fantastic, and the shrimp, also highly recommend. For mains we had the salmon, red snapper and mahi mahi, all fantastic and different. Really no need to go into it too much because the menu changes and everything was good. Just ask questions to make sure it fits your savory/sweet and raw/cooked preferences. For drinks, the house White was great and mineral-y, the Mezcal cocktail and rum with pineapple cocktails (new one at very top 2/14/2026) were great. 2 comments...not a fan of Medallia, but Billy recommended ...its natural...got a Michelob...just saying. Also, would've been great to have a little bread with the shrimp because the sauce was so good, my daughter lapped it all up. They are so great over there, pretty sure they would have found a way to accommodate if asked...dont miss this place IMO.

    We went with a large group and the service was very good considering the number of people. The only…read moreproblem was that they didn't do separate checks. The most they could do was split 3 ways and that never turns to be a good idea. The croquettes were amazing.

Located…read moreinside The Ritz-Carlton, Positivo is an upscale sushi spot that also has a vegetarian menu -- a rare find, and much appreciated as a seafood lover dining with a bunch of vegetarians. The ambiance here is high end and stunning, situated right on the water near the incredible pool. I kicked things off with a miso margarita which was everything I wanted it to be. I had the scallop crudo which was absolute perfection -- fresh and perfectly balanced. I had the Negi-Toro and San Francisco rolls as my mains, which were so unique, rich and fatty the way I like my sushi. We each had a mochi ice cream for dessert - I had the black sesame which was outstanding. Service here was also top notch, attentive and high end. Pro tip - If you're coming from nearby, take an uber vs driving. There's a mandatory valet ($25 validated, $40 non validated).

    Had a great time here - service and ambience is wonderful! We ordered the coconut milk soup, dan…read moredan noodles with chicken, and green chicken curry (comes with rice). Soup was mid, a little salty for my taste. Dan dan noodles were delicious, and appreciate the accommodation to swap beef and pork for chicken. Green chicken curry was a miss for both of us, it was very creamy and lacked flavor. We were given these tiny sour lemon treats at the end which we loved. Overall, would definitely come back and try some other dishes if we stay here again.

We even met the chef who was so kind! We got the yuca fries, bone marrow, fava bean tacos, oxtail cannelloni, duck, mahi mahi, black cod, vegan special, chocolate cake, and coconut sorbet! Everything was to die for except the bone marrow which had a super small portion size. The free bread was also amazing! Probably one of the top 3 free restaurant breads I've had. Will 1000000% be back next time I visit PR!

I liked the jovial yet professional service but the food is what made it great. Started with a tuna tartare daily special recommended by the waiter, it was great. Many layers of flavors and the tuna and avocado was fantastic. I then had the ribeye (the smaller one, at only 20 oz :-)) and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. For those who haven't seen my other reviews, I've been to hundreds of the best steakhouses, from NY to Chicago to Las Vegas to London, and while this wasn't a steakhouse it was fantastic. A nice think ribeye, perfect marbling but they also got the medium rare exactly as it should be, with an incredible char on the outside. I would fly back to Puerto Rico just to have this steak again. I also liked the crispy brussel sprouts and the asparagus were excellent, larger portion than you get elsewhere and nice thick asparagus. Finished with the I think 7 layer coconut cake, which I thought was the nicest dessert (split it with my wife's key lime pie, also good, and daughter's carrot cake donuts). Can't wait to go again.

En nuestra primera visita quedamos encantados con la comida y el servicio; la cocina es excelente y eso merece reconocimiento. Lamentablemente, esta segunda experiencia fue distinta. Al poco tiempo de sentarnos, nuestra hija de dos años comenzó a llorar de forma intermitente por unos minutos. Mientras mi esposa intentaba calmarla, el gerente se acercó y comentó que, aunque entendía que era una niña, el ruido era excesivo y molestaba a otros clientes, sugiriendo que sacara a la niña del salón. Ante esa situación, decidimos retirarnos. Entiendo que no todos los restaurantes están orientados a familias, pero considero importante que otros clientes lo sepan de antemano. En muchos restaurantes, incluso de alta cocina, estas situaciones se manejan con mayor empatía y flexibilidad. Conclusión: la comida en Grappa es extraordinaria, pero la tolerancia hacia niños pequeños es limitada. Excelente opción gastronómica para adultos, pero probablemente no ideal para familias con niños pequeños.
