Place is shut down 8:30 on a Wednesday night. Needs updated hours or display temporarily closed.

good food great service, very friendly. The ambience was OK tables need help they kept wobbling lol.

I loved this hidden little gem! We walked by with all intensions of dining at a different restaurant a few blocks down. We saw the beautiful patio here, and after 10 mins we turned around, abandoned our planned dinner, and walked right back to Patio de las Flores because the atmosphere and menu looked so much better than our original plan! We had such a great experience here. So glad we chose it on a whim! Such friendly staff, we were seated with flowers right away. How cute! The menu is by QR code, and was very fancy with cool demonstrations of how each fancy craft cocktail looked and was created. I loved this drink menu! I ordered the CREAM, which is Puerto Rican dark rum, cream liquor, and some cinnamon and spices. My drink was so amazing, I ordered 2! My friend also loved her drink, the Gitana Milk Punch (a gin, citrus, & herbs drink). Food was delicious. In order of favorites, we got: 1. Canones Cubanos - beef croquettes with an amazing sauce, wow, this was our all-time favorite of the night. 2. Asian Tartare - tuna tartare with ponzu and avocado sauce, which I absolutely loved. Amazing flavor and high quality ahi tuna. 3. Fish tacos - breaded wahoo fish tacos were not my favorite because I prefer blackened or grilled fish, but my friend really enjoyed these tacos a lot more than me. They are filling if you're hungry, then great order. 4. Montaditas - breaded eggplant with roasted veggies and vegan cheese, I really enjoyed this dish, but my friend thought it was a bit too bland. We were too full for dessert, but the menu looked amazing. Also, the prices were very reasonable for what you get. I thought a lot better than some neighboring over-priced hotel restaurants. Come to Patio de las Flores! Its such a cute, fun, delicious restaurant and bar, I'd love to see it stick around for years so I can come back next time I visit Puerto Rico! read more

Patio de las Flores - Menu - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Carolina, Puerto Rico

Made reservations for Saturday evening at 730 for a party of 6. We were seated immediately upon arrival and all of our drink orders were taken quickly. The cocktails were delicious. I had the birds & bees. It didn't come in the bird glass, but did have a cute flower garnish. The whole table loved all of the drinks they ordered. For food, I had the spinach and feta empanada and the cubanitos. So good, both of them. The presentation for everything here is a 10/10 and the flavor and quality match. The pork on the cubans was so juicy and flavorful. The empanada has a great crunch and a spicy sauce on the plate. Would definitely recommend. read more

If I can give 0 stars I would, they were assholes at the door. Very clicky, making a line for no reason and they were not letting people in when people were clearly leaving in bunches. Bad service, couldn't really speak on the ambiance because I didn't go in because i didn't want to waste my time and didn't try the food but from looks it didn't look like a great place, would for sure NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Excellent all the way around! Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Fun people. My wife and I loved our time at this restaurant in San Juan. Will return whenever we come to PR again. Thanks! read more

This place was near our hotel and had good reviews...so we decided to have dinner here. Problem was that despite making an reservation for 5pm, when we walked there, we were told that they were not ready to open for another 15-30 minutes. 2 of the staff was busy out in front smoking pot instead. We waited for 15 minutes and saw there was no change in status and walked a few doors down to another restaurant to eat instead. read more

Just wanted to update my review since we came back a second time with local friends and guests from Miami for dinner and drinks. Of course we made a reservation. The indoors tables have a two hour time limit due to the small size of the place. Everyone loved the experience. Our friends were really impressed and thought the service was good. We also liked our drink choices better this time round. You have to really scrutinize the drink menu. Don't listen to what other reviews here say; you have to decide for yourself what kind of taste you enjoy. Last but not least, we recently ate at a very expensive top restaurant in the city and although it certainly was very good, we enjoyed the variety and flavors of the food at Patio de las Flores more. read more

Stop looking I said STOP LOOKING, because you have found the bar that you DESPERATELY need to attend while you're in Puerto Rico. I was looking for bars close to my hotel & luckily I was literally walking distance to this amazing bar. It's so many amazing spots in the area so if you're ever in town I suggest staying somewhere near the Water & Beach club hotel because sooooo many things are in walking distance. Now let's get to what makes this bar special. 1st of all, when you enter you are greeted with a rose. I'm like hmmmm ok now the name makes sense. It's not a huge deal but little things like that is what separates a good bar from an amazing one. The next thing that I look for in my bars is having a little flash to a drink. Dont get me wrong, I love a basic drink SOMETIMES but if I'm on vacation or experimenting with a new bar I need you to show me something special. Patio de las flores will ABSOLUTELY show you something special. Now it's not enough to simply have a flashy drink. You need something with great presentation & have it taste amazing as well. Patio de las flores does just that in a BIG way. Everything I tried was perfection. The gypsy is probably my favorite drink simply because it tastes amazing & you get a tarot card to go with it and all of the smoke that comes out when you're pouring the drink ahhhhhh so cool. If I had to pick a close second it would be the Great Idea cocktail since they ask you to pop the bubble with the rose that you receive when you got in. I'm telling you, there are so many flashy drinks here but they don't lose quality which a lot of bars do. The birds and the bees cocktail is their staple so of course I had to try that & it was also delicious like the rest. The bartenders are also some really great people. I had some good talks with a few of them since I went twice while I was visiting. We were talking about the 50 best bars & how bars are holding up since covid. Really great people and very knowledgeable about the entire bar scene! I love this bar and I can't wait to come back! read more

i was looking for a good cocktail and yelp once again came through! Patio de las Flores is easy to miss, a hole in the wall place nestled between other businesses in a nondescript strip shopping center. Your first hint is the flower you receive from the host- and when you enter you feel like you're in a different dimension! the ambience is like a rainforest, cozy with dim lighting and really cool wallpaper. the music was really great 90s hip hop. but the drinks stole the show. everything was artfully crafted and beautifully presented. many of the cocktails include a "show" when they're delivered. service was excellent and this will be a place i return to every time i'm in San Juan. ps: reservations recommended! read more

Patio de las Flores - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Carolina, Puerto Rico

This place was such a disappointment. We were recommended this place by lots of locals and told that the drinks were incredible and that it was a fun cocktail bar. We were told when we were here that they were "closed" and they weren't serving drinks until later.. but there were bartenders making drinks and serving them to other guests. We were told to go somewhere else and it was such an odd experience. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The people were incredibly rude. read more

Service was great, atmosphere was less than great, there was an unpleasant odor upon arrival, that was quickly masked with literal incense sticks once my teens were making it obvious it stunk in there. Its was verrrrryyyyy dark. Three of the five items we requested were not available. My husband received his meal just about the time we all finished ours. We had the request a new table as the table we were seated at was literally broken. Again, the servers were great, very helpful And accommodating..... However, I would not be coming back to have them redeem themselves read more

This restaurant was conveniently across the street from our air b&b so we decided to check it out for dinner. First off, the servers were so friendly and I loved that we all got a flower when we arrived. However, I'm giving 3 stars based on the food. So if you want a place to get some cocktails and some small plates to eat while you drink, this place is good for that. For dinner with young kids ... not so much. Very limited menu. We ordered quite a few things and I really only liked the hummus and one of the empanadas. I did not like anything else. Unfortunate because the presentation of the food was lovely. But taste and good selection was not there. read more

How can you argue with perfection? This jewel of restaurant is a standout along the Isla Verde area know for upscale hotels and tourist fun. Like many San Juan tourists I set out to visit one of the restaurants mentioned as having iconic can't miss Puerto Rican specialties. When I passed by this location I stopped in my tracks. They have cute patio tables for al fresco dining and inside the restaurant it looks so welcoming. While I pondered if I should continue to my intended destination, the staff came out and welcomed me and explained their concept of craft cocktails. I decided to try one drink and one appetizer. I had passed many restaurants with menus like manuscripts so imagine my surprise when I was handed a menu with four drinks and four food items. WHAT? Is this the happy hour menu? No this was their specialty. I quickly revised my plan. Perfecto - special it was. I tried a cocktail and we had two of the tapas (small plates) options. The holy basil hand made cocktail had several layers of flavor but was so smooth I could see myself enjoying all four drinks. Lately I am on an elderflower liquor kick so this punched my ticket. I did ponder a second and talked with a table next to mine who ordered the other three drinks. The birds and bees came in a cute bird shaped glass and the gorilla slippers looks like a volcano on fire. Tasty and whimsical. Yes! For food we started with croquetas guisadas. These three delicately fried wonders were not your standard croquetas with chicken and ham. They were not greasy, but were moist and flavorful. The plates here have flowers and micro herbs. Art on a plate. I would order two of these because next time I am not sharing. My husband is a meat and potatoes kind of guy so the ceviche was probably not going to work. We went with the pechuga a la hawaiana. This seemed to me to be a roll of chicken with delicious sausage in the middle that is sliced and served with root vegetables and a pineapple based sauce. This was a larger plate and could be a meal for someone. We enjoyed this and even took leftovers back to our place. This plate also had a good assortment of flowers and little herbs. The interior is really two rooms. A bar area where it is entertaining to watch the bartender shake, rattle and roll. He puts on a good show while mixing concoctions. See my short video clip below. The main dining room has beautiful floral murals and inviting tables that also include half booths. We sat in this area and it felt upscale and trendy at the same time. Visiting Patio de las Flores was the highlight of my visit in San Juan. I told everyone I met (hotel clerk, shop owner, etc) about how great the food and drinks are and how this place is not to be missed. read more

Seriously beautiful interior. You are immersed in flowers and mood lighting. Service is good with friendly and attentive staff, and the food is really tasty. Dishes are mainly tapas style so make sure you order enough. We ordered the croquetas, empanada (1), ceviche, and the tartare. It was a good amount for 3, but if you're coming in really hungry this amount might be good for 2. All flavors were delicious and well balanced. read more

This is a beautiful recent addition to Isla Verde. Patio specializes in creative, beautifully presented drinks and small dishes. A wide variety of specialty drinks are offered, each served in a unique manner. My "LA GITANA" (clarified punch) consisting of GIN herbal liqueur chamomile bitters vermouth bianco rosemary syrup lemon arrived in a smoke-filled bottle from which my drink was poured over a single large ice cube. My wife enjoyed ""A Great Idea" made of rye averna maraschino ginger Lime Honey. Upon arrival at the table, a smoke-filled bubble was placed atop the drink. Both drinks were delicious as well as "cute". More common drinks are available, such as my Negroni that was perfectly made. Many varied small plates dishes were also available. I enjoyed Thai Grouper Ceviche flavored with coconut milk and accompanied by crispy slices of plantain. My dinner continued with Ahi Tuna Tartare and "Blooming Rice", rice paper wrapped julienne veggies". All dishes were very enjoyable, although my wife found the falafel she ordered too dry. Melanie, our server, was knowledgeable, friendly, available and very helpful, providing descriptions of each dish and drink we considered. Patio diners seem to generally be quite young (not us) and consist of both couples and larger groups having a great time. It can be quite loud. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My wife found it too loud, especially the few groups celebrating. Good food. Really good drinks. Good fun, even if a bit loud. read more

Our friend had been dying to try this place and thank goodness she had a reservation for us to join her! What a fun, unique experience. It was raining when we arrived and they met us outside with umbrellas until our table was ready. They handed each of us a flower upon entering (which was a nice touch!). The server had great recommendations (for drinks on and off the menu) and helped us have a great time! We ordered one of almost everything on the food menu- and shared everything. The food was delicious- and visually appealing. The cocktails were actually incredible! The floral component to each- both visually and tangibly with flower petals in the glasses and then aromatically, and of course with flower and herbal undertones in each cocktail. They definitely offered the full experience. We were worried since our reservation only gave us a 2hr window (since it's a small place) but service was so fast we definitely got to eat and drink everything we wanted at a leisurely pace. I can't say enough good things about this place- it's a must-visit if you're in San Juan! read more

My boyfriend and I will always come here when we visit. You're greeted with a flower when you walk in and the drinks are outstanding! This is a tapas restaurant, so make sure you're ready to order lots of DELICIOUS, smaller plates. The pastelón, boulettes, and ceviche were so good to accompany our drinks after an admittedly heavy lunch. The service is exceptional and the bar staff clearly loves and cares about their craft. It is so much fun watching them make your drinks! The music is perfect--no techno, just gorgeous music that everyone in the bar clearly loves. The care and creativity in everything is exceptional. We loved this beautiful space and it is a truly beautiful memory for the both of us. Try everything, you'll love it. read more

Came to Puerto Rico for vacation and decided to give this bar a try. Cocktails looked amazing & I loved the online menu's animations. However, the server tried to give us bottles of water and charge us for it immediately sneakily. Luckily, we noticed it and told her to cancel them.

To start, we made a reservation for a table outside, which was given to a couple in front of us without reservation. On top of it, we had to wait around 15 minutes for our table to be ready. While we waited, the hostess gave a table to a couple that arrived after us and had reservations for the same time. When we finally got a table, the music was so loud that everybody was shouting. It was almost impossible to hear the person seated in front of me, even if we raised our voices as well. Suffice to say that calling the waiters was another task altogether. When we finally got their attention, everybody had to get close, take off the mask, and shout to hear each other. We ordered multiple plates and drinks. The food was not good, except for the "croquetas guisadas". The "pastelón de abuela", for example, was not properly cooked. The mojito colada only tasted like pineapple juice, and overall, the drinks were not very tasty, had little alcohol, and a lot of ice. They also took their sweet time to bring the drinks. If you're visiting Puerto Rico, trust me, there are a lot of places that have better drinks, at better prices. The waiters were mostly rude and slow. Especially the hostess. In addition to what I mentioned before, we tried to order more drinks from him, but before even taking our order, he asked if we were ordering more food like it was a prerequisite to ordering drinks. Mind you, that at that time, we have been waiting for almost half an hour for our food order. To top it all off, when they bring the credit card processor, they include the options for tipping, which start at 18%. I always tip 15% or more, and I still did, because I understand the struggles waiters go through, but this was the first time I thought no tip was warranted. The wait to be seated, even with a reservation, the poor service, loud music, having to practically shout to communicate (close and without the mask with COVID-19), pricey drinks, and bad food, literally gave me a headache, contrary to the experience I was expecting. My sincerest advice is to save your money and time, for somewhere they treat you well and have good food. EDIT: to this comment, the owner, Emmanuel R. replied: "Greetings, to begin the reservations that are made through OpenTable allow you to make a chair preference. Due to the situation of the pandemic, seats outside are limited. In addition, music is part of our atmosphere and concept, as are cocktails and our joy. We understand your thinking and discomfort but you were in a cocktail bar, not in a restaurant. In our business we offer an experience that if you cannot understand or accept it, it is your right and it is respected but you have no right to criticize us for not understanding it. As for tips, you can put "custom" and leave us what you want. It is a blessing to be able to go out and share some time with friends in this situation of COVID 19. Appreciate it! We hope to be able to meet again and tell you more about our concept and what we want to achieve in our space. Thanks for your review!" Emmanuel, I found some useful information from Yelp on responding to clients: https://blog.yelp.com/2020/09/dos-donts-responding-to-reviews-yelp. Particularly the fourth section "[d]on't: Lose your cool when responding." In a more particularized advice, I would recommend not telling the clients: (...) we offer an experience that if you cannot understand or accept it, it is your right and it is respected but you have no right to criticize us for not understanding it." This comment is condescending and shows that you do not care for the clients. You presume that I do not understand "your concept", because music is part of the atmosphere. A restaurant may be different than a cocktail bar, but as you mentioned, we are in the middle of a pandemic, and if we must take our masks off to communicate is a health issue, not only for your clients, but also for your employees. In addition, your comment failed to address other major issues like the customer service, the food or drinks. These are not supposed to be an issue in a restaurant or a cocktail bar. Maybe we have different approaches, I rather treat clients well and hear from them and you prefer to be condescending and rude. I will not tell you how to run your business, but my experience was terrible, and since you do not care, I will actively continue to share my experience and your reaction. I should also note that I am not the first negative comment you have received, since you have another 1 star from Lydia G, that singles you out saying "[o]ur waiter Emmanuel (...) couldn't be possibly more slow or condescending." I guess this is confirmation for Lydia. read more

Horrible experiencia y servicio. 1. Tenemos una reserva a las 9pm y nos sentaron a las 10:15pm 2. Estuvimos 25minutos esperando en la acera. 3. El host nos dijo que podíamos ordenar comida (claro estábamos hambrientos) en el local de al lado y que el nos traía el menú Patio de Las Flores. La mesera de al lado nos dijo que eso no se podía y cuando fuimos a reclamarle al host debido al bochorno que pasamos el se fue a esconder, riéndose, adentro del local. 4. Nos tuvieron en una sala de espera, hasta comimos en la sala de espera la comida mediocre. Unas croquetas con salsa roja y un pollo con majado de viandas. 5. Al por fin sentarnos siempre teníamos que llamar a los meseros nadie venia a buscarnos, a ver como estábamos con la bebida.

Patio de las Flores - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Carolina, Puerto Rico

We visited the bar with high hopes after reading the great reviews, our visit started off great but went downhill right after. The sitting area is not comfortable, specially when four people are eating from a side table, nonetheless, the food was okay and the drinks were good. When it was about time to wrap things up, the waiter kind of rushed us and made a few rude comments. The manager also came by and had an attitude, I'm still trying to understand how you don't know that service is by far the most important thing about a business. Your cocktails might be decent but if your staff is not, then it's not worth it. Service is what matters the most. And by the looks of other reviews and the rude and condescending replies, that's something you should work on. Needless to say, we have no interest in recommending them after this "experience" as they call it. read more
