Popped into this place to check out the music. The hotel staff recommended it. The ambience was…read morespot on there were two different rooms, actually three. Each of them have different music. One room, the main area had salsa, dancing, and music and eventually at 9:30 PM a live salsa band came on. That was a whole lot of fun however it was very crowded. The second room had a nice house music going on. There was a bar and a DJ and it was not as busy as the main area was. And the third room was the bar that leads to the outside called La Cubanita, which was playing mellow lounge music with a tropical beat. The food at La Factoria was definitely overrated and just OK. I did not think it was worth the price and I probably would not eat there again. None of us really liked what we ordered, but we ate it because well... We were hungry. They do offer a wide range of beverages from your standard beer, wine, and top shelf brands, however, they are known for their own concoctions. All of the drinks we ordered were delicious. Overall, we had fun, and it was not too pricey for the beverages. I don't think that I would ever go again, especially not later in the week as it is so busy, and we went on a Monday and we were dancing cheek to cheek!!! Enjoy!

There were several tables open. The hostess said 'we cannot guarantee you a table tonight. You may walk back up to town to see if you can get a table'. There were 6 of us by the way. I said- you have open tables here. She says- but they have reservations. I walk away. One of the guys with me went to speak to her and within 2 minutes we had a table. He did tell us he gave her a couple dollars and she was openly receptive.

I had the churrasco with tostones and they were amazing!! I also tried the fries from a friend and they were good. For an appetizer, I recommend the eggrolls, truly delicious. I was sad it was only two (parted at the middle, making them four pieces). The only thing is that the waiter was overly nice with three of the people in the table, including me, but kinda ignored my other friend who was there. Another friend wanted to add something to her sushi but they said the kitchen wasn't allowing substitutions/changes anymore.

Popped in last night for happy hour and stayed for a couple hours and enjoyed the sangria and the most delicious caramel iced coffee (shout on to Jean!) Came back the following day for some breakfast which was fantastic. On deck we had: Chicken and waffles for three, croquette monsieur and the french toast. Lots of mimosas and more delicious delish coffee. A standout was also the ginger lemonade was top tier! Our waitress Tamara was a gem! So sweet and with it being only her second day, the service she provided was excellent.

It was…read moresurprisingly empty for a Friday night but I didn't mind being the only people in there because it's an intimate spot to begin with. We actually chose to eat at the bar because we wanted to watch the drinks being made. Everything has an awesome presentation so we enjoyed seeing the drinks being made. The drinks are not very strong, but they look very presentable! My favorite was the Manhattan en Llama - both for the taste and experience. My least favorite was the Primera Daama, something about the butterfly & lavender syrup threw me off. The croquettes were delicious, as was the alcapurria (loved the presentation), and the gnocchi - SO SO good. Highly recommend. Food definitely won over the drinks but loved the overall experience.

The most beautiful and stunning brewery I have ever been to…read more The only other brewery that can stand up to this as far as views is Tree House Brewing in Sandwich, MA. We came in on a busy Sunday afternoon and were told it would be a 45 minute wait. No big deal, we could walk around and browse the store. 10 mins later, we got a table! The beer is phenomenal, the food is solid, the atmosphere cannot be beat. Do not skip this one. Tip: it's inside the entrance of Vivo Beach Club and parking is $5.

The vibe was great, the food was fresh and well made, and the service was friendly overall. A fun bonus: we actually got to see the famous rock band Maná dining there, which was such a cool surprise! We ordered quite a bit--the chips and queso, chips and guac, hot sauce, tamale, rice and beans, kids cheese quesadilla, and veggie fajitas. The kids' quesadilla was a huge hit with our 5-year-old (who is a picky eater and devoured it). The veggie fajitas were decent and tasty, though for the price I would have liked a bit more on the plate in terms of sides. There was a small hiccup where cilantro was accidentally added to one of my dishes, and it did take quite a while for the corrected dish to come out, but they were very kind about it. That said, everything else was enjoyable and the overall experience was still very good. Overall, a great spot for solid Mexican food in Old San Juan with a fun atmosphere and fresh flavors.

After exploring Old San Juan, I'd say this restaurant really fits the artistic aesthetic. Both with…read morethe decorations and food. On to the specifics of the food. Duck Quesadillas: When I think of a duck quesadilla, I think of something that has a rich profile, but this was surprisingly humble. The duck, mushroom, and cheese all harmonized well to create a symphonic doughy pillow. Definitely recommend it. Grouper Fillet: I don't get the chance to eat Grouper often, but when I do it always hits. I can confidently say that my experience has continued. Despite the bed of sweet potatoes, you could still make out the distinct semi-sweet flavor of the fish. Also the creamy sauce paired perfectly with both the potatoes and fish. Of all the different restaurants I could've chosen, I think this was one of the best ones to end off my night in Old San Juan. Looking forward to coming back!

Its a fine dining restaurant so the restaurant is really upscale but they also made the restaurant a bit cozy at the same time. The service was amazing as well. Im sorry I forgot his name but he paid really good attention and constantly checked on us especially for my allergies. The food was some of the most delicious food ive ever tasted, especially the risotto (10/10). There was one dish that my girlfriend didnt like but they went immediately to get her something new. Im only giving a 4 star because the dessert i had did have something I was allergic to despite reassurance which cause swollen lips and throwing up outside. Im not sure if the dessert was pre-made but having the allergens directly on the menu may help. Otherwise I completely recommend trying here.
