    Tuna poke
    Shawn P.

    I wish I would have known sooner that they have a drag brunch on Sundays. I missed it but I did not miss the great food, atmosphere, and service. The tuna poke bowl is delicious. If you are in the mood, it won't disappoint.

    Roasted Chicken

    We went to The Tryst based on reviews here. The view was lovely-- it was super windy, but that's not under their control. My alcoholic drinks (a Sunset on Acid cocktail and a Chardonnay) were great. My guy's (Oasis) mocktail was mid. Neither of us liked the appetizer (beef empanadas), nor our entrees (Seafood Pasta, mine. Roasted Chicken, his). I'd go back for drinks on a less windy night because the drinks, service, and view were nice. Oh, and we could watch the World Cup match as we dined. That's it though.

    Avocado toast

    We came here for brunch and Wicked Lily and it was okay. The outdoor space was really pretty but the food wasn't that great. We shared the empanadas and charcuterie and for my dish I had the avocado toast with bacon. Some girls the bacon wasn't even fully cooked. The bathrooms here were also very disgusting. In my opinion Christianson had way better brunch than wicked lily.

    Delicious food, creative flavorful cocktails, and the view is top notch. We came for dinner but will definitely come back for breakfast!

    You must, must go to drag brunch at The Atlantic at the Tryst! Seriously, Alyssa Hunter and all of the drag queens and performers are amazing! We were so grateful to meet her and everyone! This spot is directly on the beach and even though we had a lot of rain, the show went on. The staff was so kind and accommodating as well. Shout out to all the staff, especially Christian for helping accommodate my body that needed a lower seat instead of the high table tops. Y'all rocked it out and made sure we could enjoy and not hurt our bodies. We also so enjoyed welcoming to other folks to our table to get out of the rain and celebrate together! As two queer, non-binary, and trans people who just got married, we felt very welcomed during such a difficult time of the world being scary. Thank you! The food here is amazing and of course the drinks are too! Support local drag and show up for a good time! Bring the energy and $$$ too!

    Beautiful location on the beach. Had the Tryst salad with salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly. Enjoyed an Albariño with our lunch. Very good!

    I've become a regular at wicked lily. Its just the perfect combination for me, tasty food, reasonably priced well made drinks, great views and easy access to and from the beach. The contemporary music selection also agrees with me. The place just checks all my boxes Imagine sitting on an all white couch with your friends, a nice salad some fries and their confit duck *chefs kiss* on the table next to your cocktails, drake or bad bunny tunes playing over the speakers, and your view is the beach. Maybe you go down and get in then come back and enjoy your meal. Thats Wicked Lily

    Fettuccine Frutti di Mare
    Alison L.

    Beautiful seaside location with outdoor seating and bar. Service was a bit slow but they were very nice. The truffle guacamole was fresh, delicious and had lots of truffle oil. The Fettuccine Frutti di Mare was good but lacked moisture. It could benefit from adding more sauce.

    Service is so slow!!!! The drinks are too complicated and the bartenders do not know how to make quick drinks waited 20minutes for a drink and the group left. Get rid of horrible drink menu and make quick drinks like margarita or vodka soda.

    I wanted to love this place so bad. Wicked Lily is located at The Tryst hotel with steps down to Condado Playa. Off the bat, I was drawn in by the view. I would say that was the deciding factor that landed us at Wicked Lily for dinner in the first place. We had a reservation for four at 5:45 and naturally ended up running late so I called the restaurant to change the reservation to 6:15. I was informed that there shouldn't be an issue of time and to come in whenever. Once we got there, I recognized that this spot was definitely more of a happy hour/drinks at the beach kind of place, not a birthday dinner kind of place. We weren't greeted and hoped that someone would come over while we looked over the menu. Side note: I know it's the age we live in but I'm not a fan of the impersonality of a QR code menu. We ordered drinks with a waiter and he brought them after some time but by then mine was a bit watered down and had the garnish knocked off it by his arm as he reached over which skeeved me out a bit. For food we ordered the pork croquettes and fried calamari. The calamari was okay and the pork croquettes were not a hit, unfortunately. The flavor of the croquettes were initially good but had a strange after taste. For my meal, I got the grilled chicken breast which I ended up sending back. The chicken reminded me of meal-prepped chicken by Wednesday. (Do you want to eat it? No. Will you? Eh, summer bodies are made in the winter I guess idk.) The menu described a lime sauce that went over the chicken and potatoes but it was more of a hint of lime. My friends were not fans of their meals, the wagyu burger and spinach ravioli, they mentioned their plates being lukewarm but not having the energy to let the waitress know. There was a note on the reservation regarding my birthday but everyone was pretty over it by the time dessert even became a thought. As a mentioned, I'm sure this is a great place to grab drinks and go (as many did during our dinner). The next time I'm in San Juan, I'll give that a go instead.

    Bottomless mimosas
    Vuth T.

    The manager, Danya, and her crew is the epitome of hospitality. The food was amazing, the bottomless was better and the drag show topped it all off. If you're visiting Puerto Rico and looking for a Sunday activity before your 5pm flight this is it. Make sure you make reservation. Good food, good drink, beyond amazing service

The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, and the service was excellent from beginning to end,from the hostess to the servers and bussers. Our server, Jeffery, was amazing! He was energetic, professional, attentive, and you can genuinely tell he takes his position seriously. I loved that! We were greeted with complimentary sopa de plátano and bacalaítos, and I was NOT expecting to love them as much as I did. This was by far the best sopa de plátano I've ever had. I never thought I could fall in love with a soup, but here we are! (I ordered a whole extra regular size bowl )The bacalaítos were another surprise because they're normally not something I order or even particularly like--and I've tried quite a few in my life--but these were absolutely delicious. My S/O and I shared the churrasco with arroz mamposteao, along with a side of avocado salad and majado de viandas. Everything was a straight 10/10. Not one disappointment on the table. They also make an amazing Rojo Pico, which was the perfect addition to the experience. 100% recommend Casita Miramar. Don't overthink JUST GO!

Attire was relaxed-- I saw ladies in pants as well as dresses, men in pants and shorts, but the staff was dressed sharply in all black. We waited a bit while two hosts and a manager worked to assemble several tables on the patio for a group of ten which had arrived before us. The patio decor-- murals and greenery, were beautiful. We requested indoor seating near the bar, and were the second of four tables to be filled. The indoor seating was a bit darker, had two bartenders working nonstop, and three televisions were playing inside. The inside seating area was quieter and more intimate (plus cooler in temperature) than the patio option. Our server, Raul, promptly greeted us and asked if we preferred English or Spanish. Promising to give honest recommendations of our selections, he did-- and made great suggestions as well. We started with risotto balls as an appetizer-- the guava dipping sauce was delicious. They were cheesier than my husband could stomach, so several remained on our plate. For our entrees, my husband chose the Ropa Vieja en Canoa (peeled, hollowed out like a canoe). I selected the Fried Red Snapper (served whole) with creole sauce, a house salad (lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, orange slices, mango dressing) and fried sweet plantains. After a bite, I asked for a glass of Blanc de Blancs, which was a wonderful, crisp pairing. We could not finish our meals, much less entertain the offer of dessert. By the time we left, all four tables were being served inside, there were four gyesss eating dinner at the bar, and the patio seating looked maxed out as well. Ropa Vieja was certainly the best dinner experience we've had in these first three nights in San Juan. So happy the reviews were on point with this one!

I've been coming here for years and this is what I've learned, take it from a local. For a quick bite, alcapurrias are a MUST -- especially beef or crab. Also the "pastelillos" are amazing-- corn beef, chorizo, morcilla... Everything freshly made to order. Now, if you want to sit down and enjoy an authentic Puerto Rican meal, here are some of my favorites: chuletas fritas, chicharrones de pollo, bistec encebollado and carne frita-- of course with a side of rice and beans or tostones for the win.
