Great selection of local traditional food including seafood, past, burgers, beef, empanadas etc. Mahi mahi Ceviche was on point. Extremely fresh and tasty served with fried plantains. We had halibut and salmon for entrees. Fish was good quality, but a little overcooked and dried out for our taste. Maybe if we specified a doneness it would've helped. It was still good though. The mixed vegetables were obviously from frozen bag and detracted from the dish. Beef chicken and shrimp empanadas available. I had chicken and shrimp but found the filling to be a but wet and loose im my opinion, but I'm certainly no expert. Drinks are reasonable and beers are cheap. 5 Medallas for $10 is a steal! Service and staff were excellent and made is feel welcome. Prime sits just on the outskirts of the most saturated part of downtown which makes for less crowded and enjoyable experience. I would come back for sure.

3/5 (really closer to 2.5)…read more We didn't have reservations, so the host told us we could only sit in the lounge. The restaurant didn't look very busy, and we were dressed casually, so we wondered if that was why--but we noticed another casually dressed couple seated there too. Not a huge deal, just a strange first impression. The star of the show was our server, Elicia. She was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there. She made us feel like valued guests, and she was also bartending! The drinks were a highlight. The Mojito Clarito was surprisingly clear but full of flavor, the Pepino cocktail was great, and the guava mocktail was easily my favorite. Unfortunately, the food was very inconsistent, especially for the price. The T-bone came out much rarer than the medium rare we ordered and wasn't cooked consistently. The truffle mashed potatoes were delicious, and the sea bass was the best entrée--great sauce and vegetables. The lobster tails were easily the worst dish, despite being one of the most expensive. They were oddly sweet and incredibly rubbery, like erasers. The tartare was also strangely sweet, with a sticky balsamic-like dressing and only four little chips. The oysters were disappointing as well--4 for $32 is steep, and I expected more than cheese simply warmed on top. Overall, there were some great elements, but the food lacked the consistency and execution I'd expect at this price point. Honestly, this is closer to 2.5 stars, and Elicia is the reason I'm rounding up to 3. She really made the experience.

From the delicate and perfectly seasoned and briny salmon tartar, crispy calamari, and cheese croquettes (forgot the exact name). For the mains, the filet was a perfect hearty size, cooked and seasoned beautifully. The side of mushrooms were just right, and I'm still thinking about those truffle French fries. The best surprise was the lobster bisque, truly amazing--soooo flavorful and comforting. The lobster tail did not disappoint. Service was impeccable and we exited feeling highly satisfied and happy. We had an unforgettable dinner and look forward to returning.

I needed to take the time to write this review because people should know about our experience…read more We were a party of 10, and we were seated quickly, which we appreciated. Overall, the food was good. A few of the mofongos were a little dry, but the flavors were still good. Unfortunately, what should have been a great dinner was completely ruined by our waitress, the older lady with glasses. Throughout most of the meal, everything seemed fine. The problem started when it was time to pay. She repeatedly tried to pressure us into leaving the tip on the credit card. We politely told her we would be leaving a cash tip instead, but she became visibly upset. She even blurted out that we "better be good for her pockets," which was incredibly unprofessional. I have absolutely no problem tipping and always believe in rewarding good service. What I don't appreciate is being pressured or guilted into leaving a tip. Do your job well, treat your guests with respect, and appreciate whatever people choose to leave. That's how it should work. As we were trying to settle the bill and pay back the person who had covered the entire check, she constantly hovered over our table, huffing and puffing. She even brought the receipt back to us and pointed out what the tip "was supposed to be." It was uncomfortable, aggressive, and completely inappropriate. By the end of the experience, I was so disappointed that I almost wanted to take the cash tip we left and give it directly to the cooks because they were the ones who deserved the recognition. To make matters even worse, as we were leaving, one of the men in our party was standing near the restroom waiting for someone. The waitress walked up to him, said, "Move," and physically pushed him out of the way as she walked past. He handled the situation respectfully and didn't react, but no customer should ever be spoken to or treated that way. The food was enjoyable, but the service from the older lady with glasses ruined the entire experience. No customer should ever feel pressured, intimidated, or disrespected over a tip. I hope management addresses this so future guests don't have the same experience.

If I can make this into a Yelp learned lesson, I hope others learn from my mistake turned into a…read moregreat find. I saw a Yelp page for El Sabroso Lechón in the San Juan area. When we got there exactly to the location, the business was not there. My daughter asked me if I checked the review's and I said they were good. She said no, what she meant was, when was the last review and it was more than 5 years ago. Yelp in PR is not used as widely as in the contiguous US. Here if the last posted review is more than 2-3 years, I would double check to see if they are still around. Luckily there are several restaurants in the area and we found Chicharrón. Still Puerto Rican food, but well worth it. We finally got to have steak, like a ribeye. It was huge. Probably more than 16oz and trimmed the way I do it at home with large amounts of fat cap for better flavor. The Ribeye was under $50 which back home, the size would be well over $75. It came along with rice mixed with blood sausage crumbles that added so much flavor. Then we got a pork trio, also amazing. As usual we ordered the Chuletta kan kan and I think we got a slice so thick and so big it was a whole piece of a hog. Just that alone would have filled us up, but I'm a big back when on vacation. So we also ordered some tostones and stuffed avocado. The tostones we tried different was the bread fruit tostones besides the traditional plantain tostones. The bread fruit was very different but in a good way. The service was great. Thanks to my son who is our translator, we managed to not order something e didn't want. If I left it up only to my Spanish, we probably would be eating something we've never heard of. Highly recommend going to Placita, santurce and check out the night life and the many restaurants.
