Engaging menu - our group shared plates and had a great corner booth. Wonderful service.

This restaurant had the slowest service that I've ever experienced. There was no shortage of staff - there were plenty of workers who were around. The food was not fresh - you can tell it was just reheated. I wouldn't recommend this place unless you have A LOT of time on your hands to waste. read more

Social is connected to our hotel. The DJ was rocking early. Great music. The drinks were good. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer. Great flavor. The bartender was attentive. During breakfast we sat outside. The view was amazing. There were many breakfast choices. The server was helpful in answering menu questions. The breakfast was very good every morning. read more

Seems like most the reviews are either great or terrible. My experience landed squarely on the great side. I figured I should have breakfast in the beach at least once while here. There isn't a lot of options for that. I did some googling and discovered Social. I was the first customer, at 7am sharp on a Thursday and got the best table on the patio. Unbeatable views. The waves crash against the rocks below creating a beautiful and relaxing scene, audio and visual. Sea birds are their breakfast as they dive into the waves. Planes jetted past the sky. And a sailboat on the horizon finished my sunrise view. I ordered the continental breakfast. This is not your typical hotel breakfast. This was extremely fresh, artisan quality food. Fruit- absolutely fresh, ripe, and delicious. Better fruit does not exist. Croissant- warm, buttery, flaky, and a bit indulgent. I could eat 20. Coffee (Americano)- smooth, rich, flavorful Bacon- thick and delicious. I wish I had asked for crispy though. Orange juice- tasted fresh to me. Not over sweet, not sour, full of pulp, refreshing and delicious. Service was good. As always, don't expect rushed American style service here. Relax. You're overlooking one of the most beautiful scenes in the planet. Eat slow. Take pictures. Breathe the air. And stuff your face. I would come back in a heart beat. read more

Restaurant has fabulous views and the ambiance was very nice. However...here is the letter I wrote to management; We were at your restaurant last night and had the WORST SERVICE we have ever experienced in our lives. The slowest & most horrific service of all time. My family sat there for 35 minutes without ever being even offered any beverage service whatsoever. I had to go up and speak to the host inside to get someone to even come see us. The food order took over an hour to arrive! We were so upset and dissatisfied with the way we were completely ignored, there are not words to describe the level of how pissed off we all were. We had 3 children with us, expecting kids to sit and wait around for an hour before even receiving drinks? Unacceptable. Worst part was, the restaurant was empty. No one was inside and the patio was 1/2 full. They didn't even have enough menus for all of us to have our own. How is this happening?? Please advise how you will be rectifying this atrocious experience. You came recommended by the fairmont hotel. I am appalled. The sea bass was delicious. That is worthy of a compliment!! read more

3.75 This restaurant was cute. It definitely had a sexy decor going on and that's what I was looking forward to for us. Beautiful pictures were taken here so it definitely fit the bill . I thought that the dress code would be more formal but people were in there and shorts and gym shoes. But me and my daughter we were dressed to impressed. We chose to sit outside which was a little cool and windy but for the ambiance it was worth it. I'll wait. Staff was pretty good. Recommended some non-alcoholic drinks for the evening and I went with the salmon pan seared. My daughter didn't have a big appetite so she went with the sliders and a truffle fries which she enjoyed. And for dessert we went with the bread pudding which was absolutely the most favorite dish of the night read more

I had breakfast several times at social while staying at the hotel. Service was good! The lattes were always served hot. The dishes I tried (avocado toast and the Ashford omelette) were both good. The atmosphere is nice, oceanside seating is available. Very windy while I was there, so I sat inside and enjoyed the view. I recommend Social for breakfast, the other menus (lunch/dinner/tapas) looked good too. read more

Run away from this place. Fabulous views, better than any other I experienced while there. The food is simply put trash. The menu change over is utterly ridiculous when is all the same kitchen. And the brunch menu fails to accommodate no pork diets, yet breakfast has chicken sausage. Make it make sense. Also, no side of bacon during brunch, but they are serving a bacon burger. The service was even worse and the waitress tried to hide out cc upon checkout. read more

We found this place on Google for breakfast. The omelet was very good well seasoned. The potatoes were not hot anymore especially since I want while for some ketchup. The passion fruit Mimosa was very good. The wait staff was friendly they greeted us a soon as we walked in. The view outside is the best. Music was loud but had a good vibe. read more

Our food was inedible and clearly had gone bad, the server was rude when we raised our concerns and refused to take it off the bill after 2 people ordered a $19 dish and did not touch it more than one bite. The napkins and plates were dirty and the drinks were basically water. Avoid this restaurant if you can, extremely rude service and terrible (VERY EXPENSIVE) food. read more

While staying at the Ocean Club, one night we just wanted something easy and convenient - this restaurant hit the mark! We shared the empanadas, each had the wagyu sliders and add some truffle fries and you end with a delicious meal! Jazmin provided friendly and professional service, and the relaxing atmosphere made it an ideal way to end our vacation. Looking forward to a return visit! read more

Social was great from the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by the host with a big smile and wanting to know if we wanted to be seated inside or out. Of course we chose out, so we could hear the waves as it's ocean front and we got to see an amazing lightning storm. Jazmine was our server, she was attentive, answered all of our questions, she was funny and checked in just the right amount for us. We started with the peach & prosciutto salad, the burrata salad and the beef sliders, the seven of us shared it all and it was delicious. Next up, main course, seabass over mushroom risotto, ribeye with truffle Mac & Cheese, chicken and rice, short ribs over risotto and beans (a play on rice and beans) and bistec a la Criolla. We shared and we ate it all, it was all cooked as requested and absolutely delicious. Being ocean front, listening to the waves makes for a relaxing time, true vacation vibes with a classy restaurant feel. For dessert, we had espresso and s'mores brownie, all plates were clean, it was unique and delicious! read more

Social is connected to the hotel Condado Ocean Club. We ate here for a convenient last day breakfast. The place is beautiful! I cannot complain at all about the overall cleanliness of the building or the tables. The view is beautiful and really the selling point of coming here for sure. Prior to coming here I did research the breakfast options and saw the menu had eggs Benedict and bottomless mimosas. If you are coming any day besides Saturday and Sunday, don't count on either of those things being there. They only offer them for brunch on those days. Disappointed, I ordered the steak and eggs (I chose poached eggs, but you can select whatever style you want). The meal was ok, I am not sure it was worth the price, but there isn't really anywhere else in this area that would be any less. So it is what it is. The mimosas were average. They have a combined gender bathroom. I suppose for some people that's nice. The stalls are able to be locked with a deadbolt style lock. I have a hard time personally sharing bathrooms with men, but I have my own individual trauma that skews my opinion on this. So I am Biased. I don't take any points away for this. Just thought it may be helpful for people to be aware of. read more

So far I have eaten breakfast and lunch here. This is a more upscale modern food experience with great cocktails and food such as creamy coconut oatmeal with fruit, terrific french toast with fruit, walnuts and powdered sugar, passionfruit mimosa. Delicious Puerto Rican coffee. I also tried ceasar salad and ceviche. Really good. Prices are above average but you are getting excellent quality food and ambience. Service has been good. read more

Social Restaurant - French toast with fresh fruit - Tapas Bars Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

SOCIAL's Saturday brunch was a big hit with our bachelorette group of 15 ladies - we made the reservation over a week in advance over the phone and were seated at a long table on the covered patio with a gorgeous ocean view. The menu is quite limited with only a few options, but pretty much all of it got great reviews. I shared the Truffle Mac & Cheese and Almond French Toast with a friend and really enjoyed both dishes. Portions were quite filling for the price, and service was really fast and efficient even though our group had many requests (changing a hot coffee to an iced one last minute, extra sauces and syrups, etc.). One friend called the mac & cheese "the best she has ever had," loaded with truffle flavor. Espresso martinis were also delicious and one of the best ones we tried in Puerto Rico. The best part was the ocean view - absolutely gorgeous and made the patio dining so special. Overall recommend for a fancy-feeling weekend brunch, no matter with just two people or many more. Call in advance to reserve space! read more

Unsafe for gluten free. Menu is clearly marked with GF options which gives a false sense of comfort. They served us gluten in a supposedly GF item. When asked about it the server said it was corn. When asked again if there was wheat flour, said it was wanton-- which is wheat. We clearly explained up front about celiac and the need for GF. The server was totally unapologetic. They absolutely do not care. The non GF food ordered by the rest of the table was terrible BTW. While the setting is lovely, there are many other wonderful and safe and service oriented restaurants around. Steer clear. read more

After we were sat down, numerous waiters/waitress walked around us seeing that we had not been helped. After about 25 minutes I asked one of the waiters if we could get waters since the 3 tables sat after us already had drinks from the bar delivered. Food was bland, but the dessert was light and delicious. read more

We came to have a dinner on our date night after having drinks at a nearby bar. This restaurant is inside of the Ocean Club Condado. The ambiance is really nice and intimate. We liked that each section had charges. We didn't bring chargers with us but we thought that was a cool inclusion being a tourist town. We had the Chilean Seabass that came with risotto and grilled ribeye with truffle Mac & cheese and seasoned vegetables. Both dishes were cooked to perfection. The seabass really melts in your mouth and the risotto was very well prepared. We also enjoyed their cocktails. Forgive me - we were a little tipsy so the pics came out a little blurry but we clearly had a really good time. Service was also great. We really enjoyed date night here! read more

Stayed at Condado Ocean Club. We ate here for dinner and didn't leave with a good experience. Waited ove an hour for 1 plate while our parents plate came 20 mins later. I ordered the filet mignon which was delicious and nicely cooked but luje warm. Didn't want to mention anything as we waited a long time and they were not busy. Parents ordered the New York medium rare and it was well done with the roasted potatoes were not fully cooked. Again flavor was good and meal was luke warm. Told server it was not cooked correctly and she did offer to get a new 1 but mom said she is not waiting for another 1hr. Waitress left and only came back to give us our bill. I understand letting us enjoy our stay but we were ignored along with the other 2 couples. Not a place I would recommend read more

Beautiful location. Food portions were large. A little pricey for a simple breakfast but with the view it was worth it.

Jazmine's service was not worth $44 in gratuity. She barely checked on us and had an attitude. The sliders were super dry and the food also took way too long to come out. If you are very hungry and want to eat in a timely manner, do not come here. 0/10 would not recommend. read more

Yummy seafood with a view - what could be better? I had a most relaxing and peaceful meal here and was immediately enamored with the stunning view of the coastline before me. A nice breeze was passing through so even though the day was hot and humid I was comfortable throughout the meal. The server was friendly and spoke both English and Spanish. She recommended the poke salad and she did not steer me astray! It was the most fresh and delicious poke I have had in a long time - great suggestion! My friend had the fish tacos and maduros and we were both very pleased with the meal. Parking was a bit of a challenge as it is not clearly explained on their website where to go. The restaurant is beachfront in a kitschy hipster boutique hotel on the main street in Condado. Parking is only available across the street in the public pay lot unless you want to valet at the hotel for a hefty fee. All in all this was a great experience and we very much enjoyed our time here - our order was ready in about 10 minutes and we were pleased with how efficient the team here was. read more

The place was nice and on the water. We had a group of 9. We had a few different appetizers we shared. Then everyone got an entree. Multiple of the appetizers sounded great. We ended up with the empanada, the charcuterie board and the cauliflower dish. I had a steak with truffle butter that was great. The truffle butter was listed as $7 but came on the bill as $12 so we had them adjust that. The waiter was very nice. It took awhile to get our drinks. After a few days in Puerto Rico is seems service is overall slower than i am used to. Food was good, a little expensive. I would recommend this place. read more

Amazing views. Decent service. Pretty gross food ( for breakfast anyway) The sausage was drier than the table. The walnuts on the French toast were rancid and fishy tasting. The French toast itself was pretty ok. I hate leaving poor reviews. But there's so much good food in San Juan and this place missed the mark. Lo siento read more

The service was abysmal. It took forever to get waited on, receive our food (which was cold when it finally arrived at our table), and get coffee refills. Speaking of, the coffee was OK but they charged us $6 each time they topped off our cups. Once we got saw the bill, we were able to flag down a waitress and get it corrected. At the expense of another 20 minutes. The good news is that this experience, along with the general hotel seediness and a pool that was less than useless, motivated us to move to the Vanderbilt next door. *That* turned out to be a wonderful experience. read more

Honestly this place just exhausted me. We came for a nice brunch by the water and it just disappointed time and time again. When I arrived I asked to sit outside, but the hostess said they only had availability inside. Fine, I get it there's limited space by the water because thats where everyone wants to be. But I sat down and noticed a few empty tables by the water and she told me there were reservations - which was odd because I booked a reservation and there was no option to choose outdoor or indoor. Alas I moved on. I waited awhile for my server and when he arrived I got water and requested a hot tea. Finished my water and just sat looking around because he didn't come back. Finally I wave him down and ask again. Then we go ahead and place our food orders because its clear no one is going to come around often. We order the french toast and chicken and waffles, and wait. It was probably at least 30 minutes before we got our appetizer, in a restaurant that wasn't crowded. In this time, I finish my tea and ask for more hot water twice, both times to no avail. As time goes on I realize more and more tables are clearing up outside but I keep getting told there's no space - I'm literally facing the balcony with the tables. For the last time, I ask if we can sit outside, because why have bad service and no view and my request was accepted. We move outside 40 min after arrival and after the entire outside is now empty. Food comes and all I can say is "really?" Chicken and waffled = DRY like scratch your throat dry. Fully covered it in syrup and followed with water dry. I realized my french toast was paired with an alcoholic syrup (bourbon), which was a little jarring since I didn't know that was a part of the dish. I used it for a few pieces and then asked the waitress for some non-alcoholic syrup. She looked at me like I was crazy and told me there was no alcohol in the syrup and that I must be mistaken. Hands raised, ok, fine. She comes back 5 minutes later "oh apparently there's bourbon in the syrup, here's regular." read more

Social Restaurant - French toast and chicken and waffles - Tapas Bars Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

I was very unimpressed by this. It is cuisine that basically copies every mainland restaurant, and it's pretty boring. Short rib? Chilean sea bass? Why am I traveling to an island to eat what I could eat at home, flown the exact same thousands of miles from somewhere else? Would not have ended up here if not for the fact that this is where the boss' assistant booked us. Wine list is very limited, basically either reception wine or ultra expensive hedge fund bottles. No beer option that we can find. Cocktails are genuinely decent. Dishes are not badly executed; I enjoyed a number of appetizers because that's where there was at least some local option. Barely. Actually, nothing is bad. I just don't think this is where you should go whether you're on vacation or business, because it fails to showcase what can be great about Puerto Rican food. read more

During my trip in Puerto Rico, I had a wonderful experience with this restaurant. The patio has an amazing view of the beach/ocean. Perfect for daytime or evening outing. We visited for dinner and overall the experience was A1. I will mention that all restaurants in PR require that you show proof of vaccination in order to eat inside. I also encourage you make a reservation through Open Table as the local restaurants can fill up quickly. I ordered the Braised Short Rib and it was simply amazing. Seasoned well the only negative is that I wish I had more! The portion sizes are smaller considering the price. This restaurant is more on the pricier end but the overall experience and ambiance makes for a great outing. The only menu item that I wasn't impressed with was the crab cake. It didn't seem fresh and more as if they heated up a frozen meal. You can do without this app. But the entrees: the Short Rib and Filet Mignon were cooked perfectly. If you're on vacation in San Juan, you have to add Social to your list. read more

Delicious food, excellent service and beautiful atmosphere (oceanside view). This would definitely be a regular spot for me if I lived in San Juan. I started off with sparkling water and prosecco. For my meal, I got the green salad, the sea bass with risotto and finished it all off with the coconut shell (coconut ice cream inside a chocolate shell topped with mango and pineapple). Everything was perfection! The sea bass was among the best I've ever had, cooked just right with that crispy edge, too! Definitely make this a stop while in San Juan. Your date will be impressed! read more

I ate at Social this morning a little after 8am for breakfast. I ordered the Lox an Bagel with a side of bacon. I also used my welcome drink from the hotel for a complimentary Passionfruit Mimosa. Jesus was my server an was very pleasant. The view of the ocean really makes eatting here worth while however the price is left to be desirable. My total was $32 (including tip). I appreciated the bacon being more than just 2 pieces. I had what I thought to be a glass if sparkling water an he brought a whole huge bottle! I was tempted to take it back to my room considering I paid for it an didnt drink it all! Oh well! I would suggest asking for just a glass so you don't end up paying $12!!!! I would eat here again an try dinner if I stayed at Condado Ocean Beach hotel again. read more

During our stay at Serafina hotel we enjoyed a beautiful breakfast at their restaurant. Hard to not enjoy a meal overlooking the gorgeous ocean, and the food did not disappoint. Let's start with coffee, I recommend the Puerto Rican coffee, bold and rich unlike the typical "americano" made with powered coffee mix and water. We had the French toast with our coffee to start and it was delicious. The best part of the meal! Omelet was decent, a little dry and lacked spices. Loved the Benedict with ham. I'd get that over scramble or omelette. Had to get some bacon on the side, sadly over cooked. But little hash brown cakes made up for it. Yum. With all that said still giving 4 stars because of The overall experience. The ocean, the service (thanks Tania!), the vibe and satisfying breakfast. read more
