This was the meal I didn't know I wanted or needed till life chose it for me , so my s/o and I are…read moredriving from San Juan to Playa Crash boat but since we didn't wake up in time to have breakfast where we originally wanted to go we got in the car and left upon making decisions, choices,and being hangry and frustrated on not finding the right spot we drove into Dorado and found a few spots near one another the first spot we originally said to try based on google and yelp the service was just not friendly and we decided to leave and then I noticed the other location I had seen on yelp was KGB and it was straight down the road so we go to the location there is self parking available upon arrival I didn't even have to nope my door the hostess opened the door for us and quickly gave us the greeting of the day and seated us , moments later our waiter introduced himself and we took a look at our menus , water was being poured one after the other I never needed to look or ask for a thing , the ambiance is gorgeous and these decor was upscale and decorated by wonderful cases and bottles of their wines and champagnes and top shelf liquors while still a chic and upscale design , and cleanliness was 10/10 .... We ordered appetizer , we had the croquettas de jamon (ham croquettes ) and popcorn shrimp in walnut spicy honey glazed lemon , absolutely 20/10 !!! And if anyone is worried about the item being spicy I don't believe it was but it had a little tiny aftertaste kick more on the peppery side but none the less delicious , for entrees my s/o had lamb chops in pumpkin puree and cherry aujus ,with a side of KGB Fried Rice and sweet playing and I Had the shrimp mofongo in garlic sauce with a Side of avocado , sooo let me give these two entrees there flowers
Lamb Chops
Cooked medium well - Perfectly cooked to expectation juicy ,tender and the fat rendered making it incredibly flavorful rich and savory
The pumpkin puree and pumpkin pave & cherry ajus took this meal to the moon way way way beyond expectation it added a the pumpkin was sweet and smooth that paired so well with the meat and the cherry ajus just bright everything together in a beautiful unified marriage of flavor every bite was the perfect bite and complimented it so well my s/o and I couldn't stop rolling and closing our eyes per bite no exaggeration! Easily the best lamb dish I have tried in an extremely long time !!!
Mofongo de camarones
By FAR THE BEST MOFONGO i had in PUERTO RICO and I had quite a few throughout the years and on this trip so I could compare !!!! Everything about this dish was perfect and I know speaking about a Mofongo in this light is SERIOUS !!!! The shrimp was cooked exactly how it should be cooked tender and juicy .... Please have no fear of overcooked dry shrimp bc from KGB that is NOT happening they are serving nothing but excellence !! The garlic sauce surprised me because it wasn't thick like a gravy or creamy where cream was added like I have normally experienced when ordering in other places ; it was more of a light garlic sauce flavor that soaked beautifully int the Mofongo without over powering it, Then I discovered onions in the sauce which made it even better bc I love onions in a meal then requesting avocado as a side to my meal was the perfect pairing , it added that fresh , and creamy element that connected the whole bite together and balanced all the rich and garlic flavors with the shrimp , it just WORKED !!like I mentioned after trying so many Mofongos and bifongos around PR , this exceeded my expectations 10/10 best one I had in my life
Finished our meal w a nice double espresso each
We left feeling completely satisfied and full but not with that heavy , uncomfortable feeling you often get after eating a super rich meal . Everything was well balanced from the start to the end .
Amazing food, Excellent service, & beautiful ambiance and made it such a wonderful experience
It was a dining experience to remember !
Worth every twist and turn we made to end up there
